Last-minute birthday present ideas for the thirty-something, stay-at-home, homeschooling mom who is me

A cool jean jacket

Everybody needs a cool jean jacket. I don’t know if I’m cool enough to don the rhinestone tiger, thought, so I might need to start with an unadorned one.

A back scratcher

A cozy, zip-up hoodie

Sadly, this one is not available for grown-ups.

I left my favorite cozy, zip-up hoodie at the movie theater when we saw “Pan,” and it wasn’t in their lost-and-found bin when I went back for it. I’m pretty sure there aren’t too many Great Lakes Loons hoodies in our town, though, so I’m keeping an eye out for the bad seed who lifted it and/or didn’t turn it in. In the meantime, this Time Lord hoodie would be a fine substitute.

The 2009 Cook’s Illustrated Annual book

I have 2007, 2008 and 2010-2014. I’m not sure why I didn’t order the 2009 edition. But it’s available on Amazon!

Nerdy fan things

  • A “Doctor Who” apron!
  • “Star Wars” socks!
  • A “Supernatural” sweatshirt!
  • Another “Supernatural” sweatshirt!
  • A classy “Star Wars” cardigan!
  • Gift cards

    Some people view gift cards as a lazy gift, but I love them. I don’t buy frivolous stuff for myself all that often, but I’ll indulge if I have a gift card. I especially like Amazon gift cards, because then I can buy Kindle books with a minimum of agonizing about it.

    1. When’s your birthday?

      And yes, GIFT CARDS are the bestest. Also? A back scratcher freaking rocks. I need several of them scattered throughout my house. No kidding.

    2. I love getting gift cards. They burn a hole in my pocket, I’m like a kid a Christmas.

      LMAO about the bad seed rocking your hoodie!! You are hilarious!
