For The Pet Parent – URPOWER Dog Seat Cover for Pets: $24.59
Taking our 2 big dogs and the little guy (who runs the show) with us for a ride can be quite the mess. There’s hair everywhere. The big dogs drool A LOT. And sometimes… accidents happen. Not to mention what claws can do to your back seats! I love this dogs seat car cover because it’s heavy duty, comfortable for the canines, covers all surfaces AND it’s waterproof! They even have a large version that fits the back area after you’ve folded the seats down!

For The Tea Lover – Chefman Digital Electric Kettle with Tea Infuser: $61.35
I don’t know about you, but I LOOOOOVE tea. I find it so therapeutic and relaxing. But sometimes the process of making it is kind of a pain.

I just fill this electric kettle to the minimum water line and flip the switch! This Chefman comes with rapid 3 minute boil technology, so you can enjoy your tea quickly and effortlessly! What makes it even better is that it turns itself off when it’s done AND it comes with a loose leaf tea infuser that you can insert directly into the kettle after it turns off to infuse your tea without worry about floating bits! This little contraption has been a game changer for me, and I think it would make an amazing gift for anyone who loves tea!

Gift Ideas That Cost Nothing
- A Jar of Memories – Write down a number of magical memories you have with someone on small slips of paper a fill a jar! (Bonus points if you hand draw a cute label!) Give them the jar to create hours of reminiscing and great conversation. Don’t forget to give them some blank pieces of paper to write about the memorable times they had with you!
- Create a Mixtape – Get nostalgic and put together a playlist for someone you care about. Be sure to fill it with all the songs that remind you of them. Even better if you can tell them why each song holds such meaning for you.
- Learn a New Skill Together – If you or your loved one’s love language is Quality Time, consider making time to sit down with them, throw on a Youtube tutorial and learn a new skill together! It can be anything from drawing to macrame or everything in between!
- Create a Scavenger Hunt – This is always quite the experience. Send your loved one on a hilarious adventure as they scour an area (your home, their home, a backyard?) for hidden “treasures”. You might include fun rhymes or riddles and definitely some inside jokes! Whatever end prize you choose, it’ll be all about the journey, not the destination.

Love your guys tips, giveaways. Thank you!
The season of perfect vacation gift when the weather outside is frightful, but the shopping is so enjoyable. An each- by- one place for everyone on this, companion is mindfully curated so that choosing presents for your loved bones and is satisfied and perfect.
Your website always has great ideas of items available at Amazon. I would have never thought about an electric tea kettle. I have a neighbor who’d love this. Thanks for making this gift selection unique.
The Japanese BBQ grill I would love to have its small easy to store very nice
The eco herb savor pod is interesting!
Your gift ideas are very inspiring. I’m definitely getting the herb savor for my brother and maybe 1 for me. Also thinking about the anti fatigue mats and the dog seat cover. N Now if they would only do something to protect car windows from smudges. Also getting the self care book for my best friend and I.
Just 1 question, why is the price you quoted mostly less than Amazon’s?
I would have got the friendship lamps, both would look great in our living room; but not for my budget right now unfortunately.
So I’ll probably just go for the eye massager, device sounds cool to use!
I will also certainly do the jar of memories and add-in some pictures too 🙂
Thanks for these nice gift ideas!
Awesome gift ideas! I love the dog seat cover – might buy this for myself lol.
A Jar of Memories is a fantastic idea! i will add it to what i call my ‘box of birthday party’ (i put all kinds of things in it….candles, cupcakes, balloons, gift card for pizza, a liter of soda, popcorn, candy, a game, a deck of cards, gift card for dinner, or movie tickets etc,) this is a GREAT addition. thanks.
p.s if you leave the soda out, it’s easy to mail and in that case i use helium balloons, so they pop up when the box is opened) and substitute packaged cupcakes instead of homemade.
