What do you call a kid who doesn’t believe in Santa? A rebel without a Claus.

Holiday destinations 2019 Bloomio Twist Solar Lantern

I’ve mentioned this product before and I think it’s a neat item. It’s a Bluetooth-enabled plastic lamp that collapses for easy storage. It’s 100% waterproof and dustproof and connects to an app to change the color of its LED light. It’s a great gift for campers or even people that live off the grid. Your kids will love it when they have sleepovers in the backyard. US$50

Holiday destinations 2019 iFixit Toolkits

If you know your way around device repair and tinkering, consider getting one of these iFixit toolkits. There are different kinds, like the Essential Electronics kit (US$24.99) and Pro Tech kit (US$59.99). For example, the Pro Tech kit comes with everything you could want for device repair, like 64 screwdriver bits, three kinds of spudgers, three kinds of tweezers, and more.

Holiday destinations 2019 iNaturalist Store

iNaturalist is a great app I use that lets you take a photo of a plant or animal, then using machine learning it tries to figure out what kind of specimen it is. Plus, by recording and sharing your observations, you’ll create research-quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature. They have a merchandise store filled with t-shirts for only US$5 each. You can use their order-by dates as guidelines: December 3 for shipping destinations outside the US, December 13 for shipping destinations within the US.
