For my first gift-ideas post of the 2019 season, I have an utter hodge-podge of items I put into my cart thinking “Ooo! This would make a good gift idea for someone!”

Tulip tea infuser. Combined with a clear mug and some loose tea, this would be such a charming gift.

Tortilla throw blanket. I’m imagining how cute it would be to see someone all rolled up in this. (There are also waffle and pizza versions, also good but less cute for rolling.)

Popsicle puzzle. I like puzzles. I value puzzles that allow me to dibs a certain area of the puzzle and collect all those pieces.

Inspirational pens. I’m not saying these aren’t overpriced. Clearly they are. And yet I have someone on my gift list these are perfect for.

One Line a Day diary. I started one of these once, but did not succeed in continuing. The idea still appeals.

Juicy Grape asymmetrical earrings. I MEAN!!

Spaghetti Monster colander. The questions and answers on the item listing!

Submersible multicolored remote-controlled LED lights. Whenever my first thought is “But why tho” and my second thought is “WHO CARES I WANT THEM,” I add the item to this post.
OMG the spaghetti monster colander!!!
Oooooh, Christmas earrings! It’s been a few years since your last Christmas earring post, maybe time for another??
Also, I just bought the popsicle puzzle for a friend who always hosts me on Christmas, thanks for the idea!
I am thrilled about the burrito blanket! Never would’ve thought about it, but it’s perfect for my almost 12 year old nephew who has entered the “I want only expensive things or plain money” gifting age, at least when asked directly what he wishes for. But he still gladly accepts other stuff when it’s fun, so this hits the spot, as he loves to be wrapped up on the couch with a book.
And it’s available in my country *and* will likely be here in time for his birthday which is next week on Sunday (eek). Seriously, I’m so glad I can give him something else now besides some more or less creatively wrapped money. Thank you!
Ditto the person above me. The burrito blanket is perfect for my hard to shop for 11-year-okd niece. Keep these lists coming, Swistle! You are a treasure.
Well, these are certainly things I would never have thought of. We can never have enough throw blankets in for these kids to lie around in and watch television. The monster colander kills me! I just had a guy find a package in his bedroom, addressed to me, and unopened. I went in his room to help his brother organize the next size of clothes we pulled out of the extra dresser. It had just been delivered and I intended to hide it in my closet. I left it in there by accident. He came home and I told him to go clean his part of the room. He found the package and ripped it open and is super excited because it is a sweatshirt for his volleyball team that I said I would not buy him. BECAUSE I ORDERED IT FOR CHRISTMAS. And now he will have no surprises, unless I feel kind enough to order him a burrito blanket. Totally irritated.
I love the popsicle puzzle and the burrito blanket and omg the comments on the colander! I love when people play with strangers online.
The last time I started A Line a Day I got thrown off by Leap Day and was so sad I never continued it. Perhaps I shall try again.
