Anyone struggling with gift ideas?
Christmas is in 14 days! I've only bought two gifts so far. Between lupus pain, fatigue, and brain fog, who has time to think of gifts for their family? Or to offer up their own suggestions when family asks what you want?
It's tough! Normally I start early but this year has been a lot.
So what are some gift ideas? Throw anything out there that you're getting for family or friends, or that you want to receive. Maybe it could help some of us finish up our Christmas shopping!
Some things on my list are:
An outdoor rocking chair
Books for my kids
A fire extinguisher
The gift of time and help
Stemless wine glasses
I don't do shopping well at all LOL. I have a grown son and I just get him stuff for his new truck LOL. But some great gift ideas I have used are things like wine, gas cards, intention bracelets, health equipment, and house plants. For kids I've don't books and toys and I tailor it to what they like. People are hard to gift sometimes because they have everything. Have fun shopping 😀 ~Racquel~ lupus.net team member shopping is hard! I just got wine as a gift for someone last weekend. Gift cards of any kind are a great idea! Books were on my list for my kids. It's best when people are able to just let you know what they want - saves everyone's time and money! -Ava, lupus.net team
im a Leo sun cancer moon sag rising and I love gifts but I don’t work now so I get it. I say homemade gifts are the best hands down
Notes, baked goods, gift cards. It’s the love behind it that matters most
You don’t need the stress and those who love you will feel your love in your gifts. My two cents
Love to youthank you! I really appreciate it. One of the simple gifts we're doing this year is my kid's handprints with, "I love you [relative's name]". It does take a bit of time, haha, but not a lot of money! We certainly don't need the stress, you're right. -Ava, lupus.net team awww! Now I would cry and love that more than any store packaged item! Not that those are bad but I love the homemade love ❤️ great idea!
oh yeah and Etsy has some adorable stuff, thrifty book stores have books, records, decor. 5 below is great too! I love etsy too so easy and some things are so unique. Thanks for that. ~Racquel~ lupus.net team member
Love seeing this again a year later! Here are some things I'm gifting this year, for anyone who needs ideas:
New water bottles
Pants and socks
School photos!
Favorite foods (from the store).
Stuffed animal hammock
Coffee
Cake pops
What are some things that people still have time to buy before Christmas if they're in need of a last minute gift?money always works . I don't have any sma children so I just give money or wine . ~Racquel~ lupus.net team member
