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

Two items I don't see in anyone other people's replies:

  • A dual-wall stainless water bottle like a Hydroflask. It'll keep water ice cold all day.

  • Pop Socket, never drop your phone again.

Pop Socket, never drop your phone again.

Also never fit in your pockets again

It does occasionally catch on the inside of my pocket when I take it out, but usually it's not a problem. And the extra grip is worth far more to me. I have literally never dropped my phone since I got one, and I can use my Pixel 6 Pro with one hand easily. I would never go without one.

I wish my particular flavor of annoyance could get past this point because it does seem helpful, but I'm even further and can't really stand a case unless I'm doing something specifically that warrants it.

It's a compromise I'm willing to make. Valid critique though.

Ditto the stainless water bottle, though I have an Owala. I like the spout that you can drink/pour out of like a cup or sip out of like a straw, and it has fewer moving parts so I don't think it's going to develop leaks as quickly as the ones with squishy straws that have to fold up every time it closes.

They're pricey, though.
