2024 has sped by, but one thing is a guarantee, and that is a need for gifts. We are once again partnering up with Matt from Nerd News Today and Trek Untold to showcase great gift options for your friends and loved ones. This gift guide has a bit of everything to make your daily routine more fun or make those special moments truly memorable.
Air Up Bottles: One of the latest trends in water bottle technology is scented waters. Yes, not flavored – scented!
Air Up is one of our favorites in this category, with their unique bottle system that includes a spot to add one of their scented pods with ease. The colorful bottles (available in plastic or steel with optional straws) are easy to clean and reuse, and offers the aroma of all sorts of tastes including cherry kola, virgin mojito, peach, mango passion fruit, watermelon, orangeade, and loads more. These make a great gift for an outdoorsy person with sustainability in mind, and excellent taste in drinks.
Creative Memories Scrapbooking Kits: Scrapbooking is a great way to spend time the family, a wholesome time capsule to wonderful memories. Thanks to the folks at Creative Memories, this craft has never been easier. Entire kits are available with different themes that include all the bells and whistles to make a gorgeous and unique book. Custom greeting card kits are also available, allowing you or your little ones to create a 3-D holiday card that fits their personality.
Maui Grown Remedies: Direct from the slopes of Maui’s sacred Haleakala volcano, “Maui Grown Therapies,” makes CBD salves to cure your aches and pains, and is recognized for its evidence-based commitment to product development and patient education overseen by physicians and scientists.
The Transdermal CBD nanogel is a lifesaver in your pocket, having been used by our team at many a Comic Con to immediately relieve pain and stress on our weary bodies. Their Activated Cannaboid Balm is even more powerful, that offers a gentle warm-cooling sensation along with a calming aroma to give the user a pleasant organoleptic experience.
At this time, Maui Grown Remedies only offers these two products, but they’re all you need. We recommend the gift set to try both, and your body will thank you as soon as this CBD salve touches your skin.
Coravin Wine Preservers: The Coravin Wine System gives wine lovers the freedom to pour any wine, in any amount, without removing the cork.
Specially designed with teflon coated wine needle made to be gentle on your wine corks, you can be ensured a smooth wine pour and the ability to keep any wine bottle open to enjoy your favorite flavors whenever you want.
Filled with ultra-pure argon gas (99.99%), Coravin Capsules are designed with patented technology to ensure that no argon escapes, and that nothing will spoil the taste of your wine, even after many years.
Pedi Couture Sandals: Pedi Couture’s toe separator sandals are an ideal solution for pedicures and yoga, and extremely comfortable ones at that. Wearing foot toe separators are a smart way to keep toes from overlapping which can cause pain, discomfort, and bunions. These shoes help automatically correct alignment issues so you can keep your feet relaxed.
Other potential benefits to these stylish sandals (which come in several colors) include better body alignment, increased blood flow, better posture, enable natural arch support, and restored bone orientation.
Bedsure: This company is the pure definition of “cozy.” Bedsure products are designed for the ultimate comfort, and that isn’t just a slogan.
We like their Breescape Cooling Pillow, a gel pillow that features cooling fabric on one side for an unrivaled cooling sensation upon contact, and rayon from bamboo blend fabric on the other side for excellent breathability. This dual-sided design ensures seamless comfort throughout the year.
We’re also fans of their Sherpa Fleeces and Sherpa fleece wearable blankets, perfect to throw on during a cold winter day when you just want to snuggle under some covers.
Kreative Haven watercolor books: The first time I saw one of Kreative Haven’s watercolor books, I thought someone had drawn in a sketchpad and left it behind. It turns out this company creates coloring books out of high-quality watercolor paper with beautiful pencil-like line drawings for people to learn how to paint with watercolors.
This artistic medium is one of the most difficult to learn and master, but with books like this helping you practice, your skills will improve in no time. They also have perfect pan palettes that are great for taking your kit on the go, and will help light a fire under anyone who wants to become a watercolor painter.
Therapy Notebooks: The gift of good mental health might be the best thing you can give someone this holiday season, and one way to get well is these Therapy Notebooks. These aren’t just print-on-demand journals from Amazon with no intentions behind them. Each book helps people working through anxiety, depression, habit-building, insomnia, and depression with research-backed programs and info to help your mental health journey, as well as space to let the owner journal as they need.
Everyone’s trip to wellness is different, but these Therapy Notebooks are a stellar guiding hand to help people along their way.
