Personalized Gift Ideas

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. This post also contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting Kate the (Almost) Great!

That’s right – it’s gift guide season! As always, we’re starting off with personalized gift ideas. I always start with this one because personalized gifts can take longer to arrive because they have to be personalized. But why should you get customized gifts? Well, custom gifts are more meaningful because they’re not a random thing you saw and picked up; you specifically ordered this for the gift recipient. 

So where do you turn for the best customized gifts? Etsy, of course! So after you read this post, check out more personalized gift ideas here.

This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣ ⁣ Yup This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣
⁣
Yup, I have heart disease. ⁣
⁣
I've mentioned this in bits and pieces over the last year, but in 2025, I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease.To be clear, I have basically the lowest amount of artery calcification possible to still have heart disease, but I still have it. ⁣
⁣
Coronary artery disease is a complication of rheumatoid arthritis, as cholesterol can be increased by inflammation. As I hung around the border of coronary artery disease, I got COVID. ⁣
⁣
COVID is also an inflammatory condition, which is why research shows that COVID can increase risk of heart disease. ⁣
⁣
We're keeping an eye on it now, and increasing my cholesterol medication has helped keep my cholesterol down. Which is good because I already eat a pretty heart-healthy diet and exercise is tricky for me. ⁣
⁣
If you have an inflammatory condition like RA or Crohn's, you should know that that inflammation can contribute towards cholesterol levels and therefore heart disease, especially if you've had COVID (and every time you get it increases your risks). ⁣

What do you do during infusions?⁣ ⁣ With Rituxan, What do you do during infusions?⁣

With Rituxan, iron, and IVIG, I spend a lot of time in the infusion chair. That's a lot of time to kill!⁣

Here is how I spend that time: ⁣
▪ Read on my Kindle⁣
▪ Play games on my phone⁣
▪ Listen to audiobooks⁣
▪ Work - hey, I need all my PTO possible with my health issues. Sometimes I need to work during my iron infusions!⁣
