The Consumer In Me: Last minute Nifty gifty Christmas ideas

Tyler Ryan, the savvy consumer shares some unique gift ideas

COLUMBIA SC (WOLO) – As we draw down to the final few shopping days, there are always great options for that hard to find someone or maybe a stocking stuffer or two…you know, some nifty gifty ideas.

The Damn Man Bar Cart Snacks are a tasty collection of nuts, corn, and other blended flavors that go perfect with whatever beverage is giving you that Holiday spirit.  They even have a map so you can always find your favorite.  There are some yummy flavors and blends, as you give your tongue a dance around them.

These tasty treats start around $60, and you can find out more HERE.

As you know, you are what you wear…so when it comes to style, there is nothing better than a good looking suit…and that can mean on TV or on the water.

Bearbottom Stretch Swim suits will help you maintain that stylish and comfie bar.  These stretchy trendy numbers come in 21 difference colors, and the coolest thing is they are made of recycled material.  These suits have a great feel and fit with the right blend of snug and stretch, at least for this consumer.

You can dress like an islander for about $45 bucks.  Get more info on Bearbottom Stretch Swim suits HERE.

If you have an ongoing debate about where the thermostat should be, a PediPocket blanket may be just the ticket.  Not only is this a super soft blanket, but you don’t have to worry about your tootsies getting chilly because there is a handy pocket…well, for your peds.

It is machine washable and perfect for the office, house, and even travel.  I have been giving this one a test drive in the office, where it is always way too cold for comfort.  The PediPocket runs around $60, and you can get more info HERE.

If you find yourself sleeping at times when the sun isn’t down, or maybe your partner keeps the TV on, flashing all night, the Manta Sleep Mask promises to help leave you in 100% darkness.  It is really soft, and very comfortable.  As far as my test drive, they lived up to what the promise – great darkness, when I need it.  There are also versions with the ability to heat and cool.  They start around $30 and you can find them HERE.

We all know that sometimes to keep the home fires burning, it is important, no matter how long you have been with your partner, to head out on a date night…but what happens if you are out of ideas?

Well, the It’s a Date cards are perfect.  It’s like winning the date lottery!  You decide if you want a night or day date, a ballpark cost, and then start scratching your card, and wham-o a super fun date idea – these are perfect for parties, dates, or whatever. You get 40 awesome date cards for $19, and you can find them HERE.

So let’s say that you get the date cards, and have the perfect event planned, but you have already used all your stories…or you are looking for a fun game to play at parties, how about the Talking Hearts cards?  The box promises 200 conversation staring questions, and are fun and thoughtful.  These also run about $18 and you can get them HERE.

These are just a few fun things that you can still get, just in the nick of time…or SAINT Nick of time…see what I did there?
