12 Tech Related Ideas

Welcome to installment number 2 of my week of Gift Guides.

If you missed my Kids Gift Guide, you can find it here.

There is one more on Friday focused on Black Friday/Cyber Monday stock up ideas.

Hi grown ups. Here are some gift ideas for you and the other grown ups in your life. 

For the grown ups trying to reign in their own tech habits:

1. The Wisephone- Many adults I know are buying this as a second phone to help manage their own app overload. Use Promo Code DIGITALMOM for $50 off the Wisephone II which ships in time for the holidays. Purchase here.

2. The Brick. This is a great tool to help with time management. It's a 3D printed device that temporarily removes distracting apps (and their notifications) from your phone. - leaving only the apps you choose. Some people use it to keep themselves off social media during work or family meal times. I use it alot on the weekends because I'm trying to relearn things like standing in line at the grocery store without absently scrolling.  Buy it here.

For the grown ups who are trying to stay up on digital parenting

3. Give a subscription to THIS newsletter to a friend or family member who could use some advice. Purchase a gift subscription to Thoughts From A Digital Mom here.

OR give a book. These are the books I valued the most this year.

4. The Anxious Generation. Ths was certainly the most talked about book on the topic this year. If you haven’t had a chance– its highly worth the read. Buy it here.

   

5. 14 talks by age 14. This is more about parenting than digital parenting but it has given me a lot to think about! Buy it here

   

6. The Healthy Screen Habits Workbook for Tweens and Tweens. - A great workbook to read through and share with you kid to help build digital resiliency Buy it here.

   

7. BONUS: I also discovered this Gen Z author whose work often touches on her struggles with social media. Very cool. Books Close by Kory Jane Spaulding - buy it here

And some fun stuff too! 

8. If physical books aren’t your thing– the Kindle is always a great option. Buy one here.

   

9. I love a portable speaker. We always take one on roadtrips. This is my favorite. Buy it here
