Christmas is coming up!
It's sooner than I anticipated. It’s going to be an odd one.
We can’t get together as a big family because of COVID. It’s hard because my sister has two kids with trisomy 18. Their immune systems are fragile. Instead we'll take turns having my parents over to each house.
I’m still looking for jobs. I have two in the fire, but still looking out there. So many things are seasonal, or part time. It’s harder work to look for jobs, then it is to work I think. I've been looking for a few years now. It's exhausting. I just want to work, come home, and blog, paint, design, or hold Sunny. Money is tighter.
The boys are getting older, so buying for them is more challenging. They just got their rooms done. What do I get the that they need or want? I thought about rugs and new overhead lights. They could always use another remote, or headset, for their PS4, that we have them play on only once a week. I got the boys and some of my nephews KEEN insulated thermoses 30% off at work, then 15% off from my discount. I did the same with honey sticks, pistachios, and chapstick. How exciting! *Insert sarcasm here. Holidays are different when they are older.
I'd love to give them a trip, but again...COVID strikes. Let's be honest...they could care less about clothes these days.
One Holiday Idea:
I found Mica a little light to go in his room. It will fit well with his space theme. This 3D #TecEssence Moon Light changes colors. It’s smaller than I thought. Just big enough to fit in ones hands.
You can get it here: https://tecessence.com/collections/all-lights/products/nebula-galaxy-lamp%E2%84%A2, for $39.99. I think that's way too high of a price, for this lamp. I'd be willing to pay $15, for it. It took awhile to ship, wasn't big, the base didn't come put together, it's 3D printed plastic, and I still haven't been able to get the remote battery section to come off without breaking it. It's stubborn.
It lights up with a USB cord. It has different modes. I like the top picture mode best.
There's a purple mode.
There's a blue mode.
Then there's a red mode.
I did have trouble with getting the remote to work, and open it.
I actually changed the colors by touching the lamp its self when it was on the USB cord.
I just can't get it apart! I feel like I'm going to break it. I've pressed on the release, and pulled, I pulled, after doing the a few times I gave up. Travis hasn't tried. It would be best to get it to work, for all the options.
What are you getting for your kids, or grandkids for Christmas?

Too bad it seemed to have a few issues. It does look really neat though. Allison only wants clothes. I suppose boys just aren't into clothes as much as girl are at that age.
This would make a very cool Christmas gift!
This is really cool. I could see my granddaughter liking something like this.
