Amazing Gift Giving Ideas Ahead…..
My friends quite often laugh at me – not just because I really am a super funny girl – but because I am thinking about Christmas gift shopping year round. Gift giving is my favorite – no matter the time of the year
It took me a long time, but, I finally got to the point that if I see something that is a perfect gift for giving, December 26th, then it gets purchased.
Several family members and I only exchange gifts at the holidays. More importantly, we have realized over the years, is that we would prefer the gift of time over material things.
Lunches and dinners are scheduled throughout the year more often -this year was all about Friday night live messaging. ONLY buy something if we think it’s just an absolute must have. I freaking love my family for this.
One year I will buy my one sis in law 5 things because they were absolutely perfect while the other sis got 1. It’s not quantity, it’s definitely quality – and sometimes it’s just about the laugh factor.
Now, I am going to share with you some of the amazing finds that I have gotten family over the past few years based on our silly family life.

Retirement Clock
*Both my parents and my inlaws retired around the same time – this was such a huge hit. Years later, both houses have this hanging still.
My husband’s grandmother started suffering with dementia a little bit and this clock came in extremely handy for a little while for her as well.
With this, Grandma was able to distinguish AM and PM a little better. BIG letters and numbers. Super wonderful for the purpose it served.
Nieces and Nephews across the country
*This little item went over so well I bought one for myself to drive my kids and their friends around at night with.
Govee Interior Car Lights had my son and friend feel like they were in limo on their way to a sweet 16!!
Super easy to install. Last week, I drove my girlfriend and her family out to dinner and she LOVED it. I see this in her future too – she has a hot rod mom car and her eldest is about to get her license!!
*This Customized Street Sign was an awesome gift for my kids and my cousin as well. We both just finished our basements for the kids to hang out in and these signs went over HUGE.
There’s tons of options for background pics and fonts as well. Delivery was quick.
And for under $20 per sign, I think we did well with this one!!
*My niece is a big gamer and cosplayer as well. This was a super fun gift for her. Anything video game related for her is an easy win!
**Another light up fun gift that lights up the kids room, this back lite for their computer monitor!
They LOVE this – such a fun way to light up their rooms.
My boys both have the larger strips in their closets to light up the room funky
**Still staying on the kid side of things, this was an amazing purchase that I made when my boys started stealing my hammock from me when we would go on vacation!!! wekapo has this amazing air hammock.
Finally, I got my hammock back!
My monsters taking leisurely relaxation time. Seriously. So cool.
Since the temps are getting cooler, they run outside to fill it and then take it down to the basement for hangout time. Ya know, instead of using the couch we got for them to sit on.
the next gift……….
It amazes me that some things never go out of style!
HOLY CRAP – this gift has held up really well. It’s been strapped to bikes. Thrown in backpacks and placed under spikeball nets. This speaker below!!!!
This portable speaker takes a lickin and keeps on tickin – until the battery runs out and then your charge it on up with your USB cable. The kid brings this EVERYWHERE!
Another one of those purchases that was just so perfect and perfectly random.
Engraved Gift
*Now, I’m sharing this one as a really silly gift that I gave my boys. My husband is a goofball and seriously enjoys goofball movies.
UHF with weirdal has to be the most rewatched movie in this house and the giggles never stop – actually, the giggles start early because they know what’s coming.
Me, personally, couldn’t get through it a few years ago and they have begged me to watch with them every time. Now I quote it more than them.
SO……. I went to spatulacity! LOL! I found this amazing woman, told her my silly story and had not 1 but 2 spatulas made. One for each child which they proudly display in their rooms (which, as teenagers, I wear as a badge of pride)
Freaking amazing. I don’t let them drink from the waterhose anymore!
Speaking of UHF and not an egraved gift, I had to follow through on the Christmas over load and now they also have movie posters hanging in their rooms. LMFAO – they love it!
Total Randomness
*My dad is a pain in the ass. To shop for. LOL! Seriously. He’s a pain in the ass and his birthday is on Christmas day.
I love that man. He’s an airforce veteran. His retired life has landed him in a location that allows him to see fly overs almost on a daily basis.
Since he is SO DIFFICULT to shop for, when I came across this, I had to get it for him.
Doesn’t look like we’ll be going without masks any time soon so might as well let him show his love for all things airplanes while wearing his airforceveteran hat. Who’s yer daddy?
***Let me tell you, this next item should go in every stocking of every person that lives where there are bugs at some point during the year. Oh, that must mean everyone.
My MIL has this AMAZING gift for finding the most random and helpful things.
We laughed at her when she gave it to us and now we have bought so many and keep them throughout the house and bought them for our neighbors also.
You get a bug bite. You put this thingy on top of it and SUCK it (suction) and the itch goes away – sometimes only for hours, sometimes completely!!!!!
BUY THIS FOR EVERYONE THAT LIVES AROUND BUGS!!!!!! bugbitething is the best THING you will purchase for every member of your family.
**This gem right here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ was massively fought over during a family grab bag last year. Who would’ve thunk!? Guess those middle of the night bathroom runs should be fun!
