I need something for my dad and some garbage for my older brother.
My dad works outside and drives trucks a lot in the summer season.
My mom says NO food or candy because he’s pre diabetic. Or healthier snacks?
He’s the toughest one to shop for every year

Or healthier snacks? He’s the toughest one to shop for every year Does he work outside in the heat or cold more often (or both?) You could get one of those cooling towels or hats for the summer months; a nice water bottle that holds ice for a long time, or hand and foot warmers, wool socks, etc if the cold is an issue.

I’m wondering about a scooter for my 4.5YO. The two-wheel Razor scooter ($20 at Target BTW) says 5+. Do you think my kid who has never used a scooter would like it? The three-wheel micro kick board scooters are so much more expensive and I’m not sure he would even like it. We went from the 3 wheel Micro to the razor last Christmas at 5 years old and my (uncoordinated and fearful of physical activity) now 6 year old still can't do it. And she tore it up on the micro. We got the 2-wheel razor for my uncoordinated and fearful 6.5 year old for Christmas this year. FX he figures it out by spring.

I’m trying to figure out what to get for a few people. Any suggestions?
Brother and SIL: out of state, so something shipped directly to them would be great. They love to drink.
Brother: single, works a lot, enjoys cooking, and adores his new puppy
Another brother: loves to wash his truck lol. I got some nice microfiber towels, soap, and wheel wash. I’d like to add a few more small things.
Stocking stuffer for men ideas? So far, I have lotto tickets, golf balls, and gum.

Looking for gift ideas for my BILs
One of them enjoys cooking, coffee, and has a camp he spends time at with his brother that has no electricity or cellphone signal, etc.
I feel like I should have lots of ideas based on that and yet… 🤷🏻♀️ I got him a winter hat with blue tooth in it(?) for outdoor work or jogging. But otherwise I’m stuck.
Other BIL enjoys clothing as gifts so I got him a really nice shirt for church. ($$$) but I’d like to give him a couple other things to soon. He is a former pastor, now working in the tech field (customer support/translations) so I feel like most handy gadgety things he would have… I got him a car jumper last year because they drive here from NJ several times a year. Idk. 🤷🏻♀️

I just ordered the LOL dollhouse. DD1 original one broke in the move. And it is literally one of the only things that made her holiday list every time and consistently asks for it. DH goes she is 10. But her best friend just got it. And she LOVES dollhouses. It was on sale too. I ordered this last night for my 10 yo too! It was $200 when she originally put it on her list back in Oct. When I saw it was half price, I jumped on it!

My dad (former car detailer/mechanic) loved the armorall brand products. He especially loved the “tire shine” and depending on your brothers truck my dad also liked this “plastic trim restorer” which you sponged onto the plastic trim and made it look new and not faded. (There’s even some products for working with chrome trim)

For stocking ideas, I've done keychains from this etsy store: www.etsy.com/shop/GetYourKnottyOn (such a hit with both H and DS that we ordered more) - DS uses a caribiner clip to hook his to his back pack, H hangs his in his truck.
I've also gotten H themed magnets, bottle openers and shot glasses.

Or healthier snacks? He’s the toughest one to shop for every year I couldn't tell by the way it's worded-- does he work outside year round and then drive a truck in the summer? Or are both only in the summer? My H works outside year round and LOVES his heated coat in the winter. He has the Milwaukee brand, they sell them at Home Depot. Of course if your dad is only outside in the summer, that won't help LOL. I am actually in the same boat with trying to think of ideas for my dad and brother. For my brother, I think I'm just going to do a gift basket of lottery tickets and snack foods. He has said he has too much clutter and doesn't really need anything this year. I have no idea at all for my dad. He almost never uses anything that I get him (including gift cards), but I can't just not give him something. He loves food but is extraordinarily picky about it, so I can't even do consumables.

justbecause, maybe nuts or jerky? Nuts.com has a pretty good selection. Or I've bought Blue Diamond almond snack packs on Amazon

Brother 1: I've been gifted, and have gifted to others, from here: sirenshrubs.com/ - I love the tart cherry vinegar as an addition to a mule. I gave this set to a friend for her birthday and she has been obsessed with it. Cocktail Crate Premium Drink Mixer Sriracha Margarita (search for it on Amazon) Maybe an assortment of craft mix stuff with some barware/drinking glasses? Brother 2: I've gotten some hot sauces, Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce, FLY BY JING Sichuan Chili Crisp, a sauce mop, pink butcher paper and a cutting board for a friend who has a Traeger and shares a lot of his deliciousness with us!

A suggestion for foodies that we've really enjoyed is a variety of salts from here: saltverk.com/collections/productsWe use them to dip bites of grilled steak into and it's a salty, flavorful treat.

I got the bigger one but I'm thinking I should return for the smaller one to save a little space and $

I bought a three month Universal Yums subscription for my H and two of my cousins. It's 10% off today so I spent about $50 on each subscription, and I think they are going to be a hit.

The older one doesn’t fit Barbie’s as well.

The older one doesn’t fit Barbie’s as well. Boo. I bought the older one because it dropped to $100. I know she wants to use it with Barbies also, so now I'm wondering if I should exchange it. The twisty slide version is a foot bigger in both directions though, I'm not sure I want to give up that much space!
