Spoonie Holiday Gift Guide
The holidays are upon us. With all the supply chain issues going on it’s smart to get a jump on your holiday shopping. This list is to help you shop for a Spoonie you love or for spoonies looking for ideas for themselves.
Spoonie Who Loves (or has to) Travel
Chronically Chic Travel Pill Organizer
Traveling while taking a lot of meds can be overwhelming. The best way to organize them is with a pill organize that can carry all of your meds and make sure they won’t open up and spill in your bag. The Chronically Chic Travel Pill Organizers do just that. Whether they go for a day, weekend, or week there’s a pill case for that trip.
Spoonie Who Spends A Lot Of Time In Bed
I recognize that this category is all spoonies. These items will be universally appreciated.
Silk Pillow Cases
I’ve heard so many great things about silk pillow cases. When you spend even more time in bed than the average person a luxurious pillow case can make a big difference in your comfort. It’s also a great gift because it comes at different price points.
Lounge Wear
Hanging around in your pjs all day can make you feel blah. I find that changing even into loungewear really affects my mood and helps me feel a teensy bit more human. This is another gift that’s available at all different price points and styles. These are my personal favorites.
Grandmillennial Spoonie
Blue and White Chinoiserie
A staple in any grandmillennial’s home: blue and white chinoiserie decor. Don’t worry if they already have some. There is no such thing as too much blue and white chinoiserie.
Ginger Jar Pill Box
Continuing with the blue and white chinoiserie theme the Chronically Chic Ginger Jar pill box is an excellent gift for a grandmillenial. It’s a classic pattern that will match most decor. It fits so many pills.
Spoonie Who Needs Help Around The House
Grubhub, Uber Eats, or Grocery Delivery Gift Cards
An able bodied person really doesn’t realize how much energy it takes to prepare a meal. Cooking or baking one meal can send me (and many Spoonies) into a multi day flare. If you want to really support a Spoonie helping them with meals is a really great way to go. So get them a meal or two either through takeout or grocery delivery from their local grocery store.
My grandmother gave me one and it has made life so much easier. From bed I can trigger it and it can vacuum any room of the house. They are a pricey gift. I’ve linked a roomba for less than $300.
Minimalist Spoonie
Marble or wood pill box
Help them get organized with a sleek-modern pill box. They can hide those ugly (and very unminimalist) pill bottles but still have their pills out where they’ll remember to take them.
Charitable Donation In Their Name
The whole point of being a minimalist is to have fewer things. Which makes holiday shopping for them very difficult. A charitable donation in their name is a great way to go. Consider donating to Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund or Humanity & Inclusion.
