Life Hack Gifting Ideas

Life Hack Gift Guide

November 12, 2021 · In: Lifestyle, Gift Giving

The perfect gifts for those who have it all.

I know you all know at least one person who seems to have it all. The one who goes out and buys themselves whatever the want when they want. What are you to do when it comes to the holidays and gift giving? I know I would way rather surprise someone with a gift rather than ask them bluntly what do they have and what do they want. Here is a great life hack gift guide to items that them may not already have.

Amazon is my go-to for those unordinary gift ideas.

I am not going to lie when I say I go to Amazon for a lot of my gifting ideas. There are so many options in one place, plus I can narrow the search down to categories. Amazon Prime may not be as quick as it used to be, but I normally can expect to receive my package within a few days. Easy returns are also a plus for majority of the products I purchase!

Why life hack gift guide items?

You all may be thinking “Okay, why would you go with life hack items for gifting?” There are many reasons why, but the biggest reason is because these are items that people normally don’t buy themselves. I have been in luck with being about to gift these items to friends and family because they have not bought them already or maybe never even thought about buying something like that.

Plus, these can be funny! I love gifts that are practical but bring a good laugh. Some of the items I have included in this gift guide include great stocking stuffer ideas too.

The links included in this blog post are affiliate links, meaning I will make a small portion from each purchase.
Dip clip bowl holder set

Chip and dip or maybe a little ketchup with your chicken nuggets. These fun dip clips make dinner and dipping time more fun!

Another life hack gift to light things up. These WiFi and Bluetooth light strips are a great gift idea for all! My oldest has some of these, and she LOVES them. This set can even be synced with music, making them even more fun.

LCD Writing Tablets and Drawing Pad

Some may be wondering why I would add a LCD writing tablet on to this list. The reason being that it has been a life hack gift idea for this family. These boards are great for all ages and keep the kids entertained while on-the-go without the use of technology. You can draw on it and either keep the drawing saved or erase it to create a new one.

Shop Now
Cleaning gel for car

Another “What in the world?” gift idea. Y’all, this stuff is so great for those who love to keep things clean and are always keeping up with the maintenance of their car. This cleaning gel truly does get everything up, and it sells out quickly every year during Prime Day. It may end up being a one time use depending on how dirty the area is, but it will be worth it!

Shop Now
apple air bud cleaners

One more keeping things clean type of life hack item. These AirPod cleaning putty squares really are a great life hack. It makes it easier to clean all the gunk that builds up in and around any type of ear bud. This would be a great stocking stuffer for your technology lovers or those who are always on the go with their AirPods!

That’s a wrap, well for now.

I am going to go ahead a wrap up this gift guide for now. All of these life hack gift guide items can be found on my Amazon Storefront, and stay tune for much more that will hopefully make gift buying and coming up with gifting ideas much more simpler!

Summer snack/lunch hack? Yes please! I had to give Summer snack/lunch hack? Yes please! I had to give this recipe idea a try, and it didn’t disappoint! Also FORGOT to mention the diced purple onion that I added 🫣

*1 1/2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite size pieces
*2 tbsp diced purple onion
*3 heaping spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt (~1/4 cup)
*3 tbsp of salsa
*~ 1/2 pack of ranch seasoning ( used spicy 🌶️)
*~1/2 cup shredded cheese (used 3 cheese blend)
Mixed up in a small baking dish and topped with more cheese.
Baked at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, enough time to warm it up and melt that cheese!
