This post contains affiliate links BUT per usual, I only link items that I love and have bought myself or genuinely think are awesome!.
My mom always said that you knew you were getting old when your gifts had to
be plugged in. Now, while I do think that logic mostly worked in the era
of my childhood before technology really took off (and the only things that
really plugged in for kids was the occasional gaming system) it kinda sorta
never really applied to me. I'm just an oddball that has had old lady
tendencies since the womb.
Like I was the kid that as I ripped the wrapping paper off one of my gifts
to reveal a heater box I yelled "Oh wow!! A heater!!" And my
mom was all...."Um,that's just the box, it's not a heater."
My excitement in that moment should explain it all. Kids these days
are pissed about getting a joke tortilla as a gift and there I was alllllllll
kinds of PUMPED UP over the idea of having my very own SPACE HEATER!!! Woooo!
So if this list excites you it's either a sign that you are indeed a boring adult.....or
you're my soul sister (or brother)
Let's get started....
I may be an old lady at heart, but I still have something in common with
Slash. We can both SHRED like nobody’s business!!
Santa brought it last year and it’s been magical! I’ve sorted through years and years of old paperwork
and there’s a certain satisfaction you get with sending those old documents and
junk mail through! Puts a smile on my face every time.
Our old townhouse had tile in every square inch of the house, even the
bedrooms upstairs. I had dreamed of
having a steam mop for years when my mom came through and got me this Shark model. GAME CHANGER!! It’s amazing for spot/quick mops between your
big scrub down.
I figured if I was already on the subject of Shark products I might as well
tell you about my vacuum. I’ve had it
for a few years but still love it nonetheless.
The magic is still fully alive in this relationship! I never knew I could have such deep feelings
for a vacuum cleaner. Between this and
the mop I think I might brand loyal to Shark now. I love that it’s easy to maneuver, gets under
furniture like a champ, and sucks in the good way! Any vacuum that can handle
the fur of both me and Mildred is a winner fo sho!
Most coffee lovers have already made the switch, but if the coffee lover in
your life hasn’t yet, it makes a great gift!
My sister got me one 2 Christmases ago because she knew how disgusted
The Boy was with my coffee habits at the time.
I found brewing every morning to be a pain in the ass (first world lazy
people problems) so I would brew a giant pot and leave it out and drink off it
for days just by pouring a cup and microwaving it. Basically, The Boy thought I was a disgusting
animal and my sister saw this as a good solution to this problem….and I
LOVE it!! I kept our old coffee maker in
the garage in case we ever host a crowd and need a lot, but one cup at a time
is super convenient for you daily cups of jo.
Here’s one I don’t actually have yet, but REALLY want! (but forgot to put on
my list this year….dang!) If you’re like
me and your daily outfit pick is usually solely based on what doesn’t need to
be ironed, this is the gift for you! My mom always got mad at us growing up and
I can still hear her yelling “The dryer IS NOT an ironing board!” Well…..in my house it kinda is lol A steamer would totally save electricity by
skipping the dryer and is a hell of a lot easier than breaking out the ironing
board. This one is a great price and has a ton of high rater reviews.
Now we make the transition into cordless items........
I got this spin mop and bucket last year too. I really cleaned up in the mopping supplies! (see
what I did there? Merp!) You might be
thinking that it sounds like overkill to get both a steam mop and a regular mop
in the same Christmas…..but it’s not!
They are both good for different reasons. I like the steam mop for the quick in between
spot cleaning and the spin mop for my deep clean. The two together make my life a lot easier!
I had been wanting a water pick for years, but our townhouse only had pedestal
sinks, even in the master bathroom (dumb, just DUMB!) so we had no counter
space to put one on. Now that we bought
our house and do have counter space, I still wouldn’t always want to have a
water pick with a tank sitting on my counter anyway, so I’m glad I went with
this model. The water reservoir is attached,
and the entire thing is handheld. It’s
designed to be able to be taken in the shower if you need to. It takes some getting used to to not spray
water all over your mirror and bathroom (or maybe that’s just me?) but OMG it’s
a change yo life product!! Your teeth
feel so damn clean afterwards. It’s the
BEST!!
Want to make yard work hella fun? Then
you need to get this last item! It’s a torch designed for burning weeds. After a
long annoying day, there is some serious satisfaction that comes with burning
those bitches! Just hook it up to a mini propane tank and you're set to destroy.
I hope you enjoyed this round up of my favorite gifts for the boring ass
adult in your life! What are some of
your favorite boring gifts to give and/or receive?
