I have several people on my Christmas list that do not want frivolous items. My mom in particular has a tiny 900 square foot cabin, and does not need or want things that take up space. With that in mind I try to find her things that will be functional and still a nice gift. I am certain there are people on your list that have needs that you can meet with a useful gift. Sometimes it is more vital to meet a need then to spend a ton on an item that serves no real purpose in the grand scheme of things. Therefore for the people on your list who would rather have a functional gift here are a few great products to stock up on.
Wellslock
Wellslock provides functional, innovative, and creative storage containers for homes and businesses. These containers feature lids which slide into place, with a single tab locking system. They create sustainable, high-quality products that are earth-friendly. Wellslock containers improve everyday life while reducing their environmental impact and carbon footprint on our planet. They are BPA free, and 100% leak proof.
Functional Solutions
Wellslock stack so well that they store great in my fridge, and allow me to see what is inside. The lids are easy to take off and put on. They fit great in lunch boxes, and make wonderful snack containers. Most noteworthy is that they are safe in the microwave, dishwasher, and freezer. I put healthy snacks like veggies and nuts in them and take them with me when I am on the go. My husband takes them to work for his lunch. They store my leftovers and all my fruit and veggies too.
This would be the perfect gift for my mom and her small home. She can store her pantry stuff and her left overs in a orderly way. Plus these containers could be used in many alternative ways- like storing craft supplies, or children’s toys. I think anyone could use these functional containers.
Teetherpop
Here is a functional gift for everyone on your list that has a baby. All babies teeth, and it can be an unpleasant experience for baby and the family. Teetherpop is a patented line of fillable, freezable teethers. You are free to fill it with any liquid you choose: breast milk, purees, water, juice, freshly juiced fruits, even smoothies. Then you give it to your little one to soothe teething issues, entertain, or just use it as a treat.
These are a less messy way to give baby a cool soothing teether, over teething Popsicles. They are easy to drop in the diaper bag, and can be an easy way to keep your baby hydrated. My friend’s baby is teething her canines right now, and it is tough. She has been moody, and short tempered. Her mom gave her the Teetherpop and although she didn’t like it real cold, she was happy with it cool, and at room temperature. Now we can hopefully get back to her never ending smiles.
ForceFlex
ForxceFlex has two new sunglasses for men or women. ForceFlex FF 500 Sport UV, and ForceFlex FF 200 Sport UV Sunglasses. Both exceed all military and ballistic standards and are virtually indestructible. Plus they are stylish and tough making them a great choice for sports, tactical, and vigorous outdoor activities. Both Sunglasses have:
- composite frame
- i-Form frames which are patented. They automatically adjust to any head size.
- superior protection
- non-polarized
- INTRABLOCK UV protection, which offers 100% UVA and UVB protection.
- Flexible form fitting arms to eliminate pressure points
- Soft nose pad to provide grip and comfort
- TXS Optics are engineered for zero distortion across the lens.
The FF 200 Sport Sunglasses have a composite lens, and a lens width of 2.25 inches. The FF 500 Sport Sunglasses have a polycarbonate lens, and a lens width of 2.5 inches. The frame goes all the way around the 500, whereas on the 200 they do not go around the bottom.
Because of the way the lenses look, my son likes the FF 200 Sport Sunglasses the best. He wears them when he is driving, when he plays activities outdoors like Nerf or air soft wars. He likes the way they fit, and they seem very sturdy. My husband grabbed them one day and put them on. He was surprised they fit on him because he has a large head and most glasses do not feel good on his temples. He then has to buy expensive glasses with wider arms, and many times cannot get the ones he think look best. These however fit him great. Now that I know they fit, he can get his own pair.
Sunglasses are a great gift idea, since people often neglect eye protection. The sun damages our eyes, so protect your loved ones with these awesome ForceFlex Sunglasses.
Ever Bamboo
This functional product helps to remove odors and most of us have places in the home that could greatly benefit from less odors. Bamboo charcoal is natural, sustainable, recyclable, and reuseable. Beyond all those great attributes, it absorbs excess moisture while neutralizing odors. Now you can get rid of the stinky places without using harsh, harmful chemicals to mask odor. Ever Bamboo is perfect for beside the litter box, in shoes, in lockers, in boys bedrooms, drawers, closets, fridges, and so much more.
I use my Ever Bamboo to deodorize right beside the litter box. It also is made to fit perfectly in shoes, so I have another set that are devoted to helping my son keep his shoes from walking by themselves from the stink. Best thing about the Ever Bamboo deodorizer is that you can use it over and over again! Every month or two you can place your Ever Bamboo in direct sunlight for two or three hours per side. Then it is fresh and ready to combat smell once again.
After a year, you can cut the pouch open and mix it with plant soil to help regulate water. It works well for fragile plants like orchids, which I have. This is a functional gift that would make a great house warming gift or be a great addition to a basket of goodies for Christmas. Everyone can use these great odor removers.
