Warmies for Everyone On Your List

Warmies for everyone on your list.

Surely you’ve seen the commercials on TV for Warmies, weighted microwavable plush animals for kids. But did you know Warmies makes products for the whole family? I didn’t until I started to order a Warmie plush for a child and saw an ad for their slippers and neck wraps! Wow! Stay with me to learn more:

  • Warmies slippers. Who knew Warmies makes slippers that are microwavable? I’m getting some for the people on my list right now…including me! I don’t have any yet, but the reviews are great. Put them in the microwave and slip your feet into warmth when you’re tired or cold. It sounds dreamy to me, and they come in different styles. My daughter will love them too, and I’m thinking every female I know needs a pair. These are fantastic gifts for the mom/wife/girlfriend who’s difficult to buy for, and at writing, Amazon has a 10% off coupon for some styles you can use! To see the different styles, click here. Santa will be bringing me the Cozy Leopard Slippers seen here. And my daughter will get the cute gray ones you can see here.
  • Warmies wraps. I’m guessing, if you didn’t know about the slippers, you didn’t know about the neck wraps. Again…one for every member of our family. They are microwavable, making them perfectly soothing for aching shoulders or even knees, hips, or back, and they are much safer than a heating pad. You can purchase them in animal shapes (dog, sloth, bunny) or in standard wraps. It appears not all styles will arrive by Christmas, so pay attention when ordering. See the selection at warmies on Amazon here.
  • Warmies Eye Mask. Does someone on your list need extra help relaxing? These Warmies eye masks are microwavable and lavender scented for extra relaxation. OR you can stick them in the freezer and use to revive tired eyes! At only $18.99, they make a thoughtful, inexpensive gift. Purchase here.
  • Warmies large handwarmer (hamster). Y’all, these handwarming hamsters are so cute! They are oversized Warmies you stick in the microwave, and then stick your hands in them for warming. They’re great for use at home, especially when kids come in from a cold day out or a snowy outing. Purchase here.
  • Warmies weighted plush animals. Of course, they sell the often-advertised Warmies weighted plush animals that are microwavable. Kids will love them, but my college-age daughter is getting one too. To see everything Warmies offers, click here. Click around the whole page to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list!

  • Shower Steamers. These are best sellers year after year, and I think they are less expensive this year with a great Amazon Black Friday deal that’s still offered at time of publication. This pack offers 21 scented shower steamers with scents like lavender, eucalyptus, rose, and more. It also contains two mesh bags and two hooks for hanging them in the shower! Your shower will smell like a spa! My daughter loves hers. In fact, she will be getting another set this year! People have purchased countless shower steamers through my link, and you can get them for people on your list here.
  • Stylus Pens Set. Stylus Pen anngrowy Stylus Pens for Touch Screens Universal Stylus Ballpoint Pen 2 in 1 Stylists Pens for iPad iPhone Tablet Laptops Kindle Samsung Galaxy All Capacitive Touch Screens. I have purchased these more than once, because there’s just something about these pens. They are weighted nicely and write smoothly. The stylus is great with my smart phone and with my iPad. My husband and my daughter will find these in their stockings this year. Get them here.
  • OMRON Gold Blood Pressure Monitor, Portable Wireless Wrist Monitor, Digital Bluetooth Blood Pressure Machine, Stores Up to 200 Readings for Two Users (100 Readings Each).

The holiday set includes a full-size body cream, travel sizes of body wash, body scrub, perfume mist, and a deluxe-size body oil, all in the irresistible & sunny Cheirosa 62 scent. It’s an AMAZON’S CHOICE product, and it is a great stocking stuffer as a set or divided up for different members of the family. Get it here. ***Sponsored ad***
  • Hand Warmers Rechargeable 2 Pack, 6000mAh Electric Hand Warmer Reusable, 20Hrs Long Heating, Portable Pocket Heater Handwarmer for Women Men, Outdoor Camping, Hunting Gear. This is listed as Amazon’s Choice. These cute Panda-shaped, rechargeable handwarmers are great gifts for kids and adults.

  • Airmoto Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor – Air Pump for Car Tires with Tire Pressure Gauge – One Click Smart Pump Tire Inflator for Car, Motorcycle, Bicycle and More. With over, 13,000 reviews and a 4.3 rating out of 5, this is an AMAZON’S CHOICE. It makes a great stocking stuffer. In fact, I think we should all get one of these to keep in each car we own! I see so many people on the college parent pages asking, “Where can my child go to inflate his/her tires?” Yes, I see it all the time, but don’t get me started on the parent pages. This is a great answer to that question: in your glove box or console! It’s quick and accurate and has auto shut off when your tire reaches the desired inflation. It also has a “deflate” button to remove air from an overinflated tire. This is a great gift for every driver on your list. Purchase at a discount (as of writing) here.

  • Electric Wine Opener. Y’all, this is a great addition to anyone’s bar or college apartment. Yes, everyone should know how to use a traditional corkscrew, but an electric wine opener is a great invention. There are lots to choose from, and I don’t have a preference of one over another. To see what’s offered on Amazon, click here.
  • Poo Pourri Potty Pods. I’m a fan of Poo Pourri products, the odor-trapping “before you go” brand. This year, I found their Potty Pods! They work under the same concept as their sprays, but they are in a pod form! It’s a cute, useful gift that anyone would love to find in their stocking. Get the Potty Pods at a discount (as of writing) here. I always have at least one of the travel size sprays in my handbag. To see the sprays or other Poo Pourri products, shop here
  • Makeup Eraser. These come in 7-day sets, and they work with just water to remove makeup. Sounds crazy, I know, but they work. My daughter and I both use them! We simply stick them in the mesh bag after use and at the end of a week, wash them all together in the washing machine/dryer. They are especially great for travel, because they eliminate the need for liquids in your carry-on bag! Purchase here.
  • Duncan Yoyo. Surely you remember getting a Duncan Yoyo in your stocking when you were a kid! If not, you missed out! They are good for hours of fun, and now Duncan makes more versions than ever. To shop for Duncan Yoyos, click here.

Happy Shopping! We will continue to share gifts as we find them!

Christmas Gifts for Dad

Christmas gifts for dad.

It’s not easy to find Christmas gifts for Dad. Don’t dads tend to get whatever they need when they need it? Therefore, we have to work a little harder for Dad gifts. Here are a few we found:

  • Hey Dude Shoes. Dads love their Hey Dudes! Even young people love their Hey Dudes! I know guys who swear these are the most comfortable, easy-to-wear shoes they have ever owned…guys who go to college with my daughter, so they’re cool…not just Dad-cool. These are popular shoes for a reason. Right now, Hey Dude has some great deals on Amazon for Early Black Friday! Take advantage of the deals now:
    • Sunapee Mesh Sport, starting at $27.46 here.
    • Mens Wally Stretch Poly, starting at $45 here.
    • Mens Wally Sport Mesh, starting at $38.47 here.
    • Mens Wally Amazon Exclusive, starting at $38.99 here.
    • Mens Wally Sport Sneaker, starting at $41.43 here.

  • JBL Earbuds. I have mentioned these in other lists. There are all kinds of JBL wireless earbuds. I prefer the JBL Vibe Bud (Amazon deal here) or JBL Vibe Beam (Amazon deal here), but Dad might prefer the JBL Soundgear Sense, a true open-ear wireless headphone. Lucky you, they’re on sale for an Early Black Friday Deal (33% off!) here.

  • Smokeless Firepit. We have a smokeless firepit, and we love it. We use the Duraflame log in ours, for ease of use, and it provides plenty of warmth and light when we have cocktails on the patio. A 19″ Surestove smokeless firepit is on sale right now through Amazon for 41% off! That means the price is just $94.99 (normally $159.99) at writing, which is almost unheard of. Get it before it’s gone here. And while you’re at it, get him a bunch of Duraflame logs to burn in it here.

  • Amazon Fire TV. I purchased an Amazon Fire TV, because we can take it outside if we want, or we can use it in any room of the house. As long as it connects to WiFi, we can watch it. We have watched countless football games, Netflix shows, and Apple+ series. We treat it as a “portable” TV, because it’s lightweight, but with a 32″ screen, it has a clear picture. Our daughter has one in her bedroom at college and loves it too. Dad might enjoy having his own “portable” TV. Best of all? The price right now, as an Early Black Friday Deal, is $99.99! Get it here.

  • Night Vision Goggles. Men love outdoor toys. They can use these 4K goggles when they go hunting, or they can just use them when they hear something in the yard at night! What a fun gift! Get this Early Black Friday Deal here.

  • Comfier Hot Towel Warmer. Wow. I think my husband would love this. Who wouldn’t love grabbing a warm towel as you step out of the shower?!? Sign me up! Get this special Early Black Friday deal at 42% off for $114.99 here.

  • Bird Feeder with Camera. My dad would have loved this. The older he got, the more he enjoyed watching the wildlife. He could have watched the birds from indoors or anywhere with this bird feeder with camera! Instead of costing $199.99, it’s on sale now for $129.99! It’s the perfect time to purchase! Get it here.

  • Ugg Men’s Tasman Slipper. A perennial favorite, these slippers are awesome and well-made by Ugg. You can’t go wrong with Ugg slippers. Get them here.

  • Samsonite Expandable 20-inch Carry-on. Think Dad needs a new carry-on bag? This Samsonite gets great reviews and is perfect for dad. Get this Early Black Friday Deal here.

  • Tumi Oxblood Men’s Search Backpack. Tumi makes quality products. I have a Tumi crossbody bag I purchased eight years ago that I carry almost daily, and it still looks and functions great. My husband desperately needs a new carry-on backpack for his laptop and a few other items, and I think this one from Tumi will be perfect for him. It’s 25% off at time of writing. It’s pricey, but it’s built to last. Check it out here.

Happy Shopping for Dad!
