MamaSprout Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 What small inexpensive thing did you buy this year and made your life better/ easier? We are having a combined Christmas/ Thanksgiving this year and want to have a token-but-useful gift for our married-and-living-in-small houses adult kids. Last year was easy, I just picked out some things we had bought/ liked over the year. This year, we're kind of struggling for ideas. We've done games in the past, last year was erasable pens, fun sticky notes and couple of useful household tools/ gadgets. I kind of like to find things people didn't know they needed and give it to them for the holidays. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 One of the most used, not thought about, items in our house is a wine bottle ring. It came in a boxed set with a stopper. A small thing, but extremely useful. OTOH, a keychain/credit card sized multitool is nice, too. Dh and ds have ones meant for biking but mine is general use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Cord tacos. They are little leather flaps with a snap, and you fold them (and snap) across a folded charging cord. That tangle of cords in your desk drawer or car console? No more. You can get them on etsy and Amazon and probably lots of other places. A digital tire gauge, but what really makes it useful is using my label maker to print out a label with the proper PSI for the tires of the recipient's vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggie96 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) My standard gift for this scenario is a Home Depot gift card if they rent or own a house. Sometime I pair that with a Purdy paint brush (if they are DIY-ers). There is something so nice about getting the inexplicably expensive air filters or light bulbs for free. Or a jump start on repainting a room that gives you a little joy and helps you live just a little longer with the inexplicable counter tops or ugly bath vanity. 🙂 Edited November 11, 2019 by aggie96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee/syrups/pour over mug. Tea pot, tea, honey. Wine and cheap funny glasses. If I can get a good price on black Friday, I may try to get a pillow with adjustable loft.

StaceyinLA Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I am following this thread for some new ideas! I have done a few of the things mentioned above. Also, over the last couple years, I've given really good kitchen knives to a couple of the adult couples. I bought some nice blade covers from Sur La Table to fit the knives, and put those in their stocking (each couple gets one). Also in the past I've put nice spices, olive oils from our local olive oil store, balsamic vinegars from the same store, fun little specialty food items they wouldn't typically buy themselves, bag clips, oven gloves, high quality stainless measuring spoons/cups, things like that. Williams Sonoma always has a bucket of inexpensive knives near the counter. They are all different colors. Some are serrated edge, some straight edge. There are a few different ones. I have bought those for myself, and really like them, so I am considering one of those for each adult couple this year, along with maybe some nice cheeses/salamis, good crackers, nuts, etc. I'm not planning to do true adult gifts for my kids this year - it's just been an expensive year for everyone - so I'm gonna do each couple a nice basket of edible treats instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyLady Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Thanks for this thread! I'm not sure what I'm doing for my grown up kids this year, but I've been jotting down little ideas here and there. Last year, my mom bought several google spots on black friday from Costco. She gave one to each of her adult grandchildren, and me! I didn't think I wanted one, but I really like it and use it daily. I'm planning to give kitchen dish rags (washcloths) to my adult kids - I hate a stinky wash cloth and can always use a new one (or 5), and I want my kids to feel like it's okay to let the old ones go and just use a new one. My oldest dd got new dishes this year, and I'm thinking of buying something to go with her set - maybe a large serving bowl or several cute little bowls or a tray or something. I'm planning to make a couple "bowl cozies" for each of my adult kids (including college student who loves ramen.) I bought a couple at a craft show last year (a friend was selling and wanted to support her, though they are super simple to sew.) My son and I have used them a few times this fall and they are really great for eating soup while watching TV. That sounds silly! But they are nice. And we eat a lot of soup... A cute ladle to go with them? I think I need one of these... I like this theme - I could print up a few of my favorite soup recipes and maybe a couple soup in a jar mixes, or soup mixes from Great Harvest Bread co? A friend gave me a brownie server a couple years ago and it's great - you know brownies only cut well with plastic, so instead of using a plastic knife, she gave me a plastic spatula. Mine is now lost, so this might end up in my stocking! Last year I gave my dd a nice grown up looking lunchbox with reusable containers. My kids all seem to like the elastic wallets. I have a Simple Elephant Planner and gave one to almost graduated from college dd in September. She's still using it, so I'd say that's a winning gift!

Xahm Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 One year my mother-in-law gave me pan scrapers from Pampered Chef. I'm not sure what they're actually called, but they are really hard plastic and great at scraping gunk off pans without scratching them up. Each corner is different so they can get right into the edges of every dish I own. I rolled my eyes when I opened them and they sat in the package a while, but I use them nearly daily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I've thought about making those fabric carriers for taking 9x13 dishes to potlucks or such. A couple matching hot pads might be cute. One year I found embroidered dish towels with a family dessert type theme at a craft show, and gave everyone one of those and matching oven mitts. Knowing that they were part of a 'set' that the family had. My mom quilts, and has made table runners or place mats for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 This multi-function can opener is great for tough-to-open canned drinks, like Monster energy drinks. That is honestly all I use it for but it's awesome for that, lol. The Pampered Chef Mix and Chop to break up ground beef and sausage. It's crazy better than using a spatula or flipper. There are other brands now, you just want it to be thick and to have the four sections. I absolutely love it when people buy me good coffee. K-cups are my favorite, because we usually use our own coffee so it's a treat, plus you can get the variety packs and try new flavors. I'm pretty thrilled with good coffee by the pound too, though! If you know what streaming capabilities they have/use, like Amazon or Google Play, you can do a movie night box. Popcorn, candy, and so much credit to buy or rent a movie.
