Interlude: Gifts, Inspiration, and Favorite Things
Welcome to a special holiday edition of the Interlude!
It's officially the holiday season, so I thought I'd share a short round-up of my favorite things that you might want to add to your gift list. I regularly use all these products. (These recommendations are not sponsored.)
I hope they inspire you to find the perfect gift for someone special (or yourself 😜).
💌 Round-up
⏰ A Gift of Time
TextExpander
The greatest gift we can give is time. And TextExpander has saved me many hours of work since I started using it last year. I highly recommend this tool to anyone who finds that they are writing the same text over and over again in emails, comments, documents, and more. This tool works across all programs on your computer.
☕️ A Gift of Warmth
Corkcicle Mug
On cold days, I like to enjoy a warm cup of tea while I work. After my tea quickly got cold in a coffee cup, a friend gifted me one of these mugs. It keeps my tea hot for hours. And the lid prevents major spills when I accidentally knock the mug over (which has happened a time or two ).
📔 A Gift of Growth
The Five Minute Journal
I have been using this journal for many years now. I love how in only five minutes in the morning and evening, you can cultivate gratitude and mindfulness with just a few simple prompts. The only thing I'd change is to add a hyphen to correct the name to "The Five-Minute Journal." 😉
🖊️ A Gift of Ease
Pentel EnerGel Pens
I have met many writers that have a thing about pens, and I'm definitely one of them. These pens roll smoothly and don't bleed with my small handwriting. I have them in several colors and keep a backup supply of refills at all times.
🎧 A Gift of Safety
Aftershokz Aeropex Headphones
I enjoy running, mostly on trails but also on the road. These headphones allow you to hear the wildlife and cars while also listening to your favorite podcast, audiobook, or music while out and about. They have great sound quality, a battery that lasts for 8 hours, and are completely waterproof. The microphone also works well for phone calls and virtual meetings.
Thank you so much for reading.
Warmly,
Crystal
