Holiday Gift Ideas: Holiday Gifts for Dad

Do you know who is impossible to shop for? Dads. Like, what do you get for them?? If you’re struggling with this, I’ve pulled together this list of holiday gifts for dad. Yes, most of the ideas I pulled together are things my dad has gotten over the years. But no gift guide is ever applicable to every single person. And I did compile some gifts that he wouldn’t want, so it’s not just a gift guide for what to buy for my dad. 

That being said, let’s look at the holiday gift ideas! Oh, and if you celebrate Hanukkah, you need to buy NOW. The first night is now 9 days away.

Weeks 23 and 24 of 2026 Weekly! The last two wee Weeks 23 and 24 of 2026 Weekly! 

The last two weeks were prepping for my infusion, having/recovering from my infusion, and getting caught up after. This meant things were very busy but also I don’t have a lot to show for them. 

1️⃣ New glasses! I really like having multiple pairs so I can switch them as I want.
2️⃣ One of my current projects. I got this standing hoop for my birthday and I’m working on an alphabet (uppercase and lower, although I’m still working on the lower) with extra floss.
3️⃣ Infusion time! I got my higher dose so hopefully my symptoms improve a lot in the upcoming weeks🤞🏻

FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]? As FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?

As with all things, what’s true for me might not be true for others. I’m sure there are plenty of RA patients who do respond well to supplements; I’m just not one of them. 

Additionally, at one point, I refer to being on chemo since 2012. As always, the chemo I’m referring to is Rituxan, which is my RA treatment. I do not have cancer nor have I ever claimed to. 

Video: Kate talks to the camera. Text at the beginning reads “FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?” and other text later reads “*24” to correct when she says “symptoms for 21 years”. There are captions.
