Seeing that Christmas is coming up, I thought it might be useful for anyone trying to decide what to gift others if we all shared some products and giftables that you’re willing to hype (no affiliation links, please). I’d always like to gift something more useful than just a box of candies or whatever.
Some items that I would plug, that we discovered this year:
- Roborock robot vacuum
- Driftaway Coffee Subscription
- Chronicles of Crime (mystery boardgame/app)
- Charging pads (if you have more than one device, like a phone plus a watch - though make sure that the pad is compatible with everything they use)
- Todd & Holland’s Moroccan Mint Tea

Insightful Products Step-Smart® Brace for Drop Foot is a real lifesaver as far as I’m concerned. When I first developed drop foot, I was falling everyday and none of the doctors had any advice beyond “use a cane”. So I was making do with a $25 brace that attached to my shoe that sort of worked but left me feeling very unsteady. Then I found some videos on YouTube. After ordering one, I became a fan. It has helped with my balance, I can walk normally without fear of tripping and it is comfortable to wear. If you know anyone with drop foot, ask them to check out the videos on YouTube or on [InsightfulProducts.com](http://InsightfulProducts.com).
