Confession time here, I have never been Black Friday shopping! Actually, the thought of it gives me palpitations. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a great day of shopping and adore a good deal as much as the next girl. But, the thought of seeing (or experiencing first hand) a reenactment of Friday Night Smack Down in the aisles of Wally World is not on my bucket list.
I prefer to retreat or remain in the confines of my cozy little home, curled upon on my couch, in my fave jammies, slipper feet kicked back…just me and my laptop. Who am I fooling? Most days I am more like an angsty teenager doing all my online pursuits on my phone, honestly. Just ask my hubby! Online shopping carts are much easier to push around and no wonky, crazy squeaky wheels to deal with.
Yes, I to, have succumb to the online shopping age of convenience and home delivery. It can’t be all bad….right? Saving time, gas, and no fist fights over that last fingerling on the shelf equals a win/win in my book.
I decided I wanted to research, compile and share a fun list of my 2017 Holiday Gift Ideas. This list, of course, follows my M.O. of inspirational ADD. I just had to pick a few things from my multiple areas of interest, and I decided to be “generous” and include some items that would appeal to my geeky, techie Hubby and my quirky teenage daughter.

1. Chic T-Shirt’s With a Hard Edge
I have a fond appreciation for a good inspirational T-Shirt. About a year ago I came across Human Unlimited and fell in love with them. Cutting edge, push the boundary designs and sayings adorn their tanks and tees. My real obsession is cemented by the fact that every order comes with a hand written and designed inspirational thank you note.
