Spoonies Gifts?
Due to the upcoming gift giving season... What would be the perfect gift for the other spoonies in your lives? Post your ideas here, as many as you have. Maybe some of us will find something to add to our wishlists. 💜




Healthy prepared meals! 💜
Ah yes, that would be amazing.
A TENS machine.
A nice bed tray.
A Pillow Pet (I know that sounds silly but because the shape is configurable, they make a good prop pillow. I even took my dragon to the ER).
Coupons good for help around the house/running errands.
Netflix subscription.
Good ideas!
I admit I have browsed Etsy an unreasonable number of times for cute spoon charms so I always have a back up spoon in case of emergencies. 💜
A spoon wind chime would be fun!
My step sister totally made one out of forks back in the day. Haha
A prepaid year of cleaning services
Yes Please!
Electric blanket for those cold and stiff mornings.
Good one!
An Instant Pot. I just bought one with my birthday money and it arrives Friday. I am pretty excited to try it out.
I just had a chance to Google this and I think instant pot just made my wishlist!
Mine just got here yesterday - I haven't tried it yet but I read the cookbook. It will cook beans from pre-soaked in seven minutes Wow. We don't have a/c here and I overheat easily - this thing will be a lifesaver in the summer (won't need the oven).
That sounds awesome. I hope it lives up to the hype for you!
Me too, LOL! :)
I'd love if my family gave me lots of thermal socks for winter, Libra Hotties heat patches for my stomach, Priceline vouchers so I can buy lots of buscopan forte, Compeed blister bandaids because my fucked up feet don't go so well with shoes and I'm always covered in blisters, bamboo pillows because they are really soft and I think they'd be great for when I have to sit in bed reading because I can't sleep.
Sounds like a well thought out list there!
A Roomba (I miss mine like crazy).
Oooh good choice!
Netflix subscription is a goodie. Help with legal documents. A bath pillow. A snuggie. One of those huge multi position u-shaped body pillows I saw somewhere. A lap desk that lets you computer in bed without overheating laptop.
