Gift Guide for Actual Grown Ups Collage
  1. Tablet Pillow – Truly the universal gift. My mom travels with hers. Perfect for iPad, kindle, books, anything! We can pretend not to bring the screens in the bedroom for January resolutions but otherwise our best friends deserve a pillow of their own. Our arms are almost as tired as our brains.
  2. Sleep Headphones – I love listening to audiobooks while I fall asleep. Perfect for an insomniac.
  3. Emotional Support Pillow – This pillow can be used in between your legs while you sleep, behind your neck for techneck or lumbar support.
  4. The Truth and The Light – My mom’s preferred crafting and task light for when you need to actually SEE.
  5. Eye and Head Massager – This uses heat and air pressure to massage the temples and sinuses. It is an absolute delight. Sometimes when I have a headache I will also put it over my forehead instead of my eyes and I get immediate relief.
  6. Heat Bag – Can be used hot or cold, safe to fall asleep with and easy to position anywhere. One of those things you will use way more than you expect.
  7. Neck Fan – The world is literally melting. My hair never gets stuck in this and I will wear it to spin class.
  8. Adult Brain Teaser Book – Surprisingly fun with a good variety of games. Help your loved ones mind their own business.

    I am a 4th Grade teacher in California. 95% of our diverse families have low and social- economic backgrounds. Our school has been working overtime, to catch our students who have fallen behind academically . I would be so forever grateful to be considered for this donation. Thank you so much

      Hi Morgan!

      I’ve just purchased everything on your list that this Canadian could put in a cart and it will be on it’s way to you shortly!

      I would like to encourage your students who love to learn to spend some time learning about the Indigenous and First Nations Peoples upon whose land most of us in North America currently live.

      Thank you for your work and for your commitment to your students!
