2019 Christmas Guide

Christmas is upon us! Which means joy and hope is here! Since people give each other presents on Christmas I complied a guide on what to buy for everyone if your're unsure. I organized it by person and then by gift: an Expensive Gift, an Affordable Gift, An Experience, and a DIY Gift. I also attached links for the gifts. Also a new podcast is up here! Enjoy!

That Special Man in Your Life

Like your Dad or Grandpa!

Tools, $50+
Most years my dad asks for tools, but I don't know what kind, so if ya want to get tools just ask him what kind. I can't help ya with what kind here, but I'm sure an American made one will do!

Keychain, $20

My dad has asked for keychains labeled with what the keys go to and now here some are! They are a little expensive for what they are though.

Performing Arts Tickets, $40+

The Mystery Science Theater is coming in February and I know my dad would probably like to go. Getting tickets for somewhere ensures a memory and not a useless shirt in the closet.

Underwear, $15 or less

Homemade underwear, how handy and personal!
For context read the post I wrote last year here, also I linked the title with a website for boxer short patterns.

Yo' Mama

Gifts for the fun mom.

Car, $?
If you can afford it you might want to get your mom a car, that's what my mom is asking for this Christmas, but make sure it's a cool car, no one looks cool driving a Subaru Outback.

Sweater, $80

Sweaters are great to give! Especially quality ones made out of 100% natural materials. I don't know if the one I linked is though.

Gym Membership, $50+
This might sound mean, but my mom asked for a renewal of her gym membership. I didn't know this experience ran so expensive.

Painting, $10
People love paintings especially if you made it for them. I painted one for mother's day of my mom's old farm and my mom adored it! Inexpensive too!

Your NOT Preppy Brother

You know the one, he insists he isn't preppy because he wears Rowing Blazers and like to skateboard instead of Vineyard Vines and going sailing.

Rugby Shirt, $195

I love this shirt and all the shirts Rowing Blazers makes, they're unique and fun, while maintaining history and style.

Skateboard Wheels, $30
I don't know know much about skateboard wheels, so I linked whatever my brother circled.

Comedy Club Tickets, $25+
Comedians are always coming to perform and there are some good ones coming like David Spade at BellyUp Aspen or Michelle Wolf at Comedy Works Denver! I got my mom tickets for Adam Carolla for her Birthday and she loved it!

Stickers, $10+
My brother and I went through a phase of making stickers and magnets. All you have to do is print on sticker paper and cover in self laminating plastic!

For the Snoop Dogg to your Martha Stewart

Gifts for your real friends.

College Sweater, $90

I love Hillflint! They make the most wonderful college clothing that is cool, not overdone with too many colors, fonts, and mascots. This is a perfect gift for anyone in or out of school or anyone who wants to pretend they didn't drop out of college in front of the family.

Macarons, $12+

I love macarons! My favorite are from Honey B's in Colorado, but they're also available at Whole Foods, Dana's Bakery, and many other places! Any friend with a refined palette would adore these!

Trip Tickets, $50+
Who wouldn't want to go on a vacation with their friends? There are many options of places to go for cheap (if ya time it right) like ski towns in the spring! How nice would it be to receive a plane ticket or part of a trip paid for?

Bath Bombs, Probably $5
