1. Travel Electric Kettle

Clean, hot drinking water is so important, but especially when traveling. Now you can boil your water with ease and cool to drink or add it to a mug/cup with instant coffee, tea or other beverages when traveling or at the office. This portable travel water bottle measures just 8.66 inches and net weighs 0.9 pounds. The compact design is designed for travel, business trips, camping, office and other scenarios, and is especially suitable for use in hotels without a clean electric kettle. 360°Leak-Proof Design, so it won’t leak even upside down turn. NOTE: It ONLY works when plugged in. Right now, there is a coupon to clip on Amazon to get 20% off, making this travel electric kettle under $30!

2. RTIC Drink Tumbler

Yes, everyone has a drink container, but this one is AMAZING! It has some kind of amazing technology that keeps your ice so cold that it does not melt for hours! My sister-in-law has one. She put ice and her drink in it and drove two hours to my house for Thanksgiving back when I only had seven kids. She waited for me to peel and mash all those potatoes and get the meal served (another hour). I had to help my three littles get their food before I could get my plate and sit down to eat (another thirty minutes as I had to wait in line for other family members to get their food). We were eating and I noticed her new cup (after at least 3 1/2 hours). She told me it keeps her ice from melting and I looked inside. The ice still looked just as big as when she put it in! I have been to her house and used her ice before so I know how big her ice is. I never did ask her when that ice finally melted. But I was impressed! And you know what? She said someone gave her this RTIC tumbler for a gift and she loves it!

I have also seen a similar type with a handle, like this one.

3. Unique Interest Shirt

Here is a unique interest shirt that looks really cool…

4. Gift Cards

Of course, gift cards are always a great gift…

5. Locking Cash Box

We all have money! And some of us like to keep it organized in our house. This cash box has a privacy key lock to keep valuables safe. A widened handle makes for easy storage and transport, even if it is just to and from the fire safe. Underneath is a small compartment for bonds, checks, receipts, etc. It measures 11.81″x 9.45″x 3.54″ (300*240*90mm), and comes in a variety of colors. It's the perfect safe locking cash box for festivals, sales or shows. Smaller than some but big enough to store all the cash you need, it’s the perfect size for traveling and storing at home.

6. Candy

Who doesn't want more candy? Even the healthiest eater enjoys a small treat in moderation on special occasions. Dylan's will ship it to you or them in time for the big event! I love the Dylan's Tackle Box.

7. Cat Scratcher Toy

These cat scratcher toys are adorable if you are gifting a cat lover that has a cat living in their home. They can get joy and entertainment with positive thoughts of your thoughtfulness each time they see kitty use it.

8. Knit Bluetooth Winter Hat

Now the person who has everything really WILL have everything! He/she can listen to favorite tunes from the beanie hat while doing everything else!

9. A Grilling Tools Set

Well, yes, he/she may already have these, but it could be time for a new grilling tools set!

10. Map Keychains for the Traveler

For the person that is a traveler, like my adult son, this is a great gift idea. Check out these map keychains!

11. French Press Coffee & Tea Maker

Who doesn't want a “better cup of coffee”? A French Press makes the best tasting coffee or tea because it removes “all” grounds from your beverage giving you an amazingly smooth cup of coffee or tea.

12. A Coffee Mug Warmer

A great gift to keep that coffee warm on a mug warmer for it to taste the best too.

13. Fresh Water

Everyone needs fresh water. This water filtration pitcher is currently on sale to make it under $30…

14. A Gift for the Card “Gamer”

Give them a card game gift that you could play with them to have quality time together. So many choices!

15. Candy Cane Advent Calendar to use next year

I just love this candy cane advent calendar from Etsy vendor RitterOhanaWoodwork. They will think of you every year as they get this out and use it. We have one and our family prefers to use it with a variety of flavors like blue raspberry, cherry, and apple in addition to the standard peppermint flavor. You currently get a 15% discount when you buy 5 items in their shop, which would bring the price to less than $30.

16. Timex Watch

I waited until halfway through the list to put my favorite gift! See, I have a LITTLE patience! I am always wearing a water-resistant Timex watch. Often, when swimming! This one has a sale going on so you can get it under $30 today!

17. A Catan Game Expansion Pack

There are so many expansion packs to choose from. Chances are you will find one that the “person who has everything” does not have yet.

18. New Bath Towels

Well, they do wear out eventually and it's not always on my mind when I am out shopping so I often neglect to pick them up. Maybe others do too and need new bath towels.

19. A Soup Mug

This is a great gift for college students who get to have a microwave in their dorm room as well. I have given so many soup mugs as gifts over the years because when I visit, I see everyone actually uses them!

20. Lap Desk

A great gift for the busy body who always likes to be doing something, even while watching television! A lap desk is very useful.

21. Metal Key Holder

I bought these for our own home this year as we have many drivers and vehicles now that we have four adult children and each has a car, with two living at home all year and one living at home in the summer. These are made by Etsy Shop TheMetalPeddlerShop. And they do quality work and excellent shipping and packaging. It's easy to install (with screws included), as well.

Here is one I recommend if they are not a pet owner…

22. Personalized Multi-Tool Folding Knife

This is the perfect tool for any outdoor activity including camping, fishing, or hiking, as well as handy for everyday uses around the house or office. You can buy it personalized from Etsy vendor EngraveMyMemories.

23. Jewelry Box or Trinket Box

A little wooden box that will look wonderful in any room you decide to display it in. It can be used to store jewelry, trinkets, keys or just odds and ends.

24. Steak Knives

These quality steak knives come in a nice gift box and your loved one will appreciate them.

25. Leather Mouse Pad

I think everyone needs a gorgeous leather mouse pad to use. This one has a built-in wrist rest.

26. New Bath Robe

Once in a while, it is nice to get a new bath robe. Recently, I saw several people using this waffle style at an indoor waterpark.

27. New Slippers

These do wear out so new slippers are nice.

28. Gratitude Journal

Your loved one may be thankful for the gratitude journal you give them.

29. Belt / Tie / Necklace / Infinity Scarf Organizer

A great place to store all these items and be organized. I use mine for necklaces. My husband uses his for ties and belts.

30. Beef Jerky

Beef jerky is a wonderful gift, but be careful where you store it if you have indoor pets! We have a miniature dachshund, Doby, who has eaten a package of jerky (while we were out of the house) that was wrapped up as a gift for our teen daughter in the past. He was very thirsty for a few days, but ended up okay. Be sure to learn from our mistake!

A Few Bonus Ideas

Printable Adult Coloring Bookmarks and a Box of Colored Pencils

Some adults still like to color! Print these out on cardstock (these have a design on the back as well), cut them out, and put them in their stocking along with a small box of colored pencils. You could even wrap the stack of the bookmarks with a pretty ribbon.

This time of year, my printable bookmarks are a hot item to tie a ribbon around and stick into a stocking along with colored pencils or fancy pens or markers.

For the Reader To Keep Track of Books Read

Some adults love to read and keep track of the books they have read. With these, you can write part of the book title or it's initials in tiny print on each little book. This would be good to include with a fine tipped pen.
