Whirlipop popcorn maker with coconut oil, popcorn, and seasonings is one of my favorite gifts for families with older children.

Gourmet foods are great if you know the person’s tastes. It could be a jar of interesting sauce, a tin of candy or tea, or even ingredients for cooking and baking. It’s nice to enjoy something you wouldn’t buy for yourself.

People joke about socks as a gift, but who doesn’t love a fresh pair of really nice socks? Nice pens are another under-rated but appreciated small gift form adults.

Houseplants from Bloomscape have been a new go-to for us. They’re pricy, but the packaging and care support are perfect, and I love that they make it easy to pick pet and toddler-friendly options.
