It’s finally here! Thanksgiving is over and it’s time for Cyber Monday gift ideas. I have assembled over 50 products to buy as gifts for others or yourself. I’ve started with pretty standard Cyber Week things, but the end of the post is focused on health, especially some awesome brands that I love.

Ideas for Holiday Gifts: Cyber Monday Gift Ideas
Home
Perfect Pot – I got this for last Christmas and I cannot recommend it enough. It is very similar to a La Creuset but it is nowhere near as heavy. I’ve used it to make pasta, soup, slow cooker meals in the oven, and more.
Always Pan® 2.0 – This is on my Christmas list this year and I was very clear that I want it. It’s also by Our Place and can be used for many different things.

Healy Heritage Farm
What kind of daughter would I be if I didn’t include some of my mom’s awesome products? For those who don’t know, she has a hobby sheep farm. Follow her here.
Use code CYBER2024 for 20% off all orders over $60.
Plates – These are so cute. They are actually made by a friend of my sister, who makes pottery at Third Space Ceramics. There are only a few left!
Mugs – These are also made by Shannon at Third Space Ceramics. The pattern is based off of the fleece of a sheep.
Towels – These feature Everly, one of her younger sheep.
Tote bags – These also feature Everly.
Hats – One of these hats is something my mom knit, and some of them are hats she bought in Denmark some years ago.
And if you’re a knitter or crocheter, check out her yarn! They’re all from her sheep and the colored ones are all hand-dyed (like, they hung on a drying rack in my parents’ driveway after she dyed them).
Again, use code CYBER2024 for 20% off all orders over $60.
Electronics
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024)
Apple Watch SE (2023) – I love my Apple Watch. I haven’t regretted buying it once! I’ve tested it against hospital HR monitors multiple times, and it has always been accurate.
Apple Watch Series 10 Aluminum Case (2024) – If you want some more bells and whistles, check out this version.
Apple AirTag (4 Pack) – Never lose your things again! My former roommate’s cat kept getting out of our apartment, so they put an AirTag on the cat. Put them on your keys, backpack, suitcase, etc. Buy them for yourself or for the person in your life who cannot keep track of their damn keys no matter what. (Just make sure they have an iPhone, iPad, Mackbook Pro, etc. so they can use the tags.)
Best Gift Ideas for the Holidays: New Chronic Illness Patients
Beats Studio Buds + True Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Earbuds
Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth Wireless Headphones
Beats Solo 4 Bluetooth Wireless On-Ear Headphones
Sudio A1 True Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth Earbuds – I adore these. They are much more affordable wireless earbuds than AirPods. Get them to save money for yourself, for someone who doesn’t like Apple products, for a kid or teenager, etc. However, I strongly advise getting them in a light color. I had a dark green pair and lost one of the earbuds when on the train because I couldn’t find it against the dark carpet.
10 Ideas for Self Care You Need This Holiday Season
Health
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, Cyber Week is a great time to stock up on health products. As always, I’ll publish a health-based gift guide, but this year that will be focusing on chronic pain and not the more general topic of illness. I’m starting with miscellaneous gifts, and then I’ll discuss specific brands and discount codes I have for you.

Check out Mighty Well deals!
I talk about Mighty Well every year … because they’re pretty incredible! There are so many different products, but I’ve included some that I think are best for holiday gifting. That being said, Mighty Well has some that fall under FSA/HSA, so if you’re a chronic illness patient and have some leftover funds, pick things up for yourself by the end of the year.
Check out Mighty Well and use code KATEM10 for 10% off your order.
Fluid Motion Backpack – For someone who uses a feeding tube, TPN, constant IVs, etc.
H₂O Shield™: PICC Line Shower Cover – Perfect for anyone living with a PICC line.
PICCPerfect® Pro – When I had a PICC line, I spent so much time keeping it out of the way. If I had this, it would have been a lot easier.
IV Line Care Kit
Self Care Case™: Customizable Medical Supplies Organizer
Self Care Essentials Kit – While the things in this kit are included with the case, maybe you don’t want the case! Maybe you’re shopping for someone (yourself or others) who already has a similar pouch they could use. Maybe you’re shopping for someone who already has the case but needs more of the supplies within it.
Compression socks – These are for men and these are for women.
Again, use KATEM10 for 10% off.
Check out CURE deals!
I love CURE so much that a) I have bought it over and over again and b) I have introduced it to my dad and grandmother.
As someone with POTS, I need lots of electrolytes. Sure, the one I need the most is sodium, but I also need the rest of them. I’ve tried other electrolyte supplements (yes, including Liquid IV, which I hated the taste of), but CURE is my favorite flavored electrolyte powder, both because of the results and because of the taste.
As I mentioned, I’ve introduced my dad and grandmother to it, and they both like it. My dad is extremely active; he’s a former marathoner and spends a lot of his time in Maine doing a lot of outdoor work like cutting down and up trees, as well as helping my mom with her sheep farm. He uses CURE instead of a heavy-sugar sports drink.
My grandmother, however, has the same normal-to-low blood pressure that I do. A few summers ago, when we were all outside at my aunt and uncle’s, she had some light-headeness. I had a packet of CURE in my bag – I never go anywhere without some – and gave it to her, and it made a difference. Then this past summer, we sent her the starter kit, and she loves it.
If you don’t what flavor you or the person you’re shopping for might like, check out the variety pack.
My favorite flavors are lemonade and berry pomegranate. Other flavors include ginger turmeric, grapefruit, watermelon, blood orange, lime, strawberry kiwi, and tropical punch.
Cure also makes a kid-specific hydrating mix! It’s the same formula but in more kid-friendly flavors. Get all of them in this bundle or get the individual flavors: fruit punch, mixed berry, or pink lemonade.
Check out Buoy deals!
Over the summer, Buoy sent me some of their Hydration Drops, which are unflavored liquid electrolytes. I loved them so much and they made such a difference in my heat intolerance management, especially when I was dealing with a POTS flare from having COVID.
They make a variety of products, but all of them are designed to add something extra to your life (and drink). The drops are unflavored, although with a little mineral aftertaste. They are also free of the Big 8 food allergies, and if you are a chronic illness patient, you can get 35% off of your orders for life.
So, yeah, I’m a massive fan of Buoy now.
Check out their Black Friday sale and get 20% off here. Or keep reading to learn more about their products!
Hydration Drops – I have to start with these, as this is the one I’ve tried! If you or someone you’re shopping for have POTS, are an athlete, or just struggle with getting enough electrolytes, these are the way to go.
Digestion Drops – These drops are ideal for people dealing with IBS, bloating, or gas.
Energy Drops – Want energy without drinking coffee or an energy drink? Check out these! Buoy specifically describes them as “No-Jitters, No-Crash Energy” (x).
Brain Health Drops – Obviously “Brain Health” is straightforward, but what exactly does it mean? Buoy says that these “Stimulate cognitive function and support brain fog and migraine relief with liquid nootropics, electrolyte” (x).
Immunity Drops – These are ideal for boosting your immune system.
Need, well, a rescue? Buoy has you covered.
Rescue Drops – The Hydration Drops are already packed full of electrolytes, but these are six times stronger than them.
Rescue Salt – You can dissolve these in drinks like the drops but also eat it straight or add it to food.
