4 Days til X-Mas!

7 Last-minute Gifts to Panic Buy for the ADHDer in your life! (Because we forgot too!)

The holidays are creeping up on us like the Coquito at your office party.

And as we reflect on the year, the lessons we’ve learned, and the keys we’ve lost, we inevitably realize that CHRISTMAS IS IN 4 DAYS!

Don’t worry. Much like Amazon, we deliver the goods.


#1: A Planner for Those Who Hate Planners.

ADHDers have a love-hate relationship with planners.

As much as we want to use them, it is often hard to find the RIGHT fit. So, instead, why not make your own?

I find that I quickly abandon dated planners—the guilt sets in when I miss a day.

The blank pages are attractive to those of us who are building a journaling habit—no guilt, just content.

The Leuchtturm journal has been a staple in my daily routine. It is my journal, planner, habit tracker, and catch-all for random receipts and business cards at networking events.

Best of all, there are dotted and squared page layouts for those needing a little structure.

 

#2: A Durable Pen/Pencil Holder for Their Journal

Save yourself the headache of fervently searching through your bag when the mood to write strikes!

Having all your writing instruments at your disposal is a game-changer!

Made of durable material, this pen/pencil holder by DioDrio is made to last!

 

#3: Colorful Erasable Pens to Catch Their Attention

We have come a long way since the erasable pens of yore.

The Frixion Synergy Pen Set by Pilot has changed my life. Seriously.

I can quickly jot down all my ideas as they pop up in my head and come back to revise them, adding colors to highlight important concepts.

The Frixion line by Pilot also includes erasable highlighters!

 

#4: A How-to-Journal Guide (The Bullet Journal Method)

Encourage your ADHDers to catalog their life and learn their patterns by documenting their day-to-day.

Give your ADHD loved one a head start on the new year!

The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll is an excellent guide for ADHDers who love to express themselves.

 

#5: A Visual Timer to Help Time Make Sense!

Many ADHDers struggle with time management. How can we manage time when time is so abstract? What even is time?

Visual timers provide a method for ADHDers to understand the passage of time concretely.

Liorque makes various fun and stimulating timers to take the dread out of time management!

 

#6: A Brightly Colored Insulated Beverage Thermos

Encourage your ADHD loved one to stay hydrated throughout the day with a thermos that combines style and function.

Plastic bottles can alter the taste of our favorite beverages, creating a distasteful experience for highly sensitive ADHDers.

This thermos by Hydrapeak is insulated to help keep hot beverages hot and cold beverages cool—just the way we like them.

Available in 33 fun and eye-catching colors, it also has a handle to make it easy to carry.

Plus, the stainless steel interior makes it easier to clean!

 

#7: The Sound of Silence (Block Out the Noise!)

Last but certainly not least, give your ADHDer the gift of peace and quiet.

The holidays are filled with the sounds of the holiday season: family members engaging in loud conversations, children excitedly ripping open presents, dogs barking at delivery drivers, and holiday music blasting on every sound system.

Sound-sensitive neurodivergents have widely recommended these earplugs by Loop.

Packaged in a convenient carrying case, your loved one can bring these anywhere—when overstimulation hits, they will be prepared and comfortable!

Available in a variety of colors and styles!

 

And if all else fails, gift cards to our favorite restaurants are always welcomed!

Happy Holidays!
