I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

Aeropress for the coffee people who want something easy to store and clean.
Portable Bluetooth speaker. I have the Anker Soundcore 2, and use it all the time in my studio apartment.
Deli containers for food storage.
Electric mixer. It will save you a lot of strain if you often mix by hand.
Water filtration system of your choice. I use ZeroWater.
Humidifier for those dry months.
PC gamer? Use emulators for older console games? Get an Xbox controller for those non mouse and keyboard games (Journey et. al were on sale recently).
Canister vacuum cleaner. I use Bissell Zing (about $75), but they're better than bagless vacuums.
Plants for literal quality of life. https://www.thespruce.com/easy-houseplants-hard-to-kill-4141665
- I cannot recommend the Aeropress enough. It makes such great coffee at its price point. Its quicker and less wasteful than a lot of other popular single cup options coughKeurigcough
  
  Ikea has single cup french presses for like 10€.
  
  I have had several french presses, and I can say with certainty that the Aeropress is way easier to make a great cup of coffee with than any french press I have tried.
  Can you make great coffee with french press? Absolutely! But it requires the proper grind, water temp, and timing it to prevent over or under extraction. Aeropress is a lot more forgiving.
  
  Yes, I love my aeropress!! With enough dialing in I can usually make a better cup of coffee with a pourover setup that better expresses the differences of specific beans. But the aeropress makes a darn good cup of coffee every time without going through all that hassle. I use mine almost daily.
  
  I have been trying to decide between an aeropress or pourover. Maybe I'm ignorant of something, how is the pourover a larger hassle?
  
  I hear everyone singing the AeroPress praises, and while I like mine I actually much prefer my Chemex. I like the taste a little more, those Chemex filters are great.
  But anyways, can't go wrong with either. Then you get them hooked on an expensive hobby 😂
- Deli containers are a game changer. Never have to search for a lid that fits.
- Nice link! Poached it for !houseplants@lemmy.ml
