These stocking stuffer ideas will help your favorite person with ADHD focus, calm their mind, reduce stress, and get organized.
First: I dislike seeing suggestions for “aromatherapy” stuff mixed in for things like this. I get that some people do find pleasure and benefit in them, but ya’ll realize some of us have scent sensitivities, right? Fake floral scents in particular set off my asthma! Not exactly conducive to helping me sleep, lol.
Also, am I the only person who is cool with/enjoys coloring as a soothing activity very much, but HATES the “adult” coloring books for that?? Like. They’re always so detail-dense and visually busy!! Like. CLUTTERED, visually. It just sets off my anxiety/overstimulates me, especially if it’s a particularly busy pattern, where my eye has temporary trouble differentiating the line work sometimes .
About the only “aimed at more than kids” coloring books I’ve seen that might work for me are maybe the “Coloring DC Comics” type books I’ve seen recently, where you have a literal comic book to color in; that’s probably because the comics they adapt for this are usually popular ones well-known for CLEAR and UNCLUTTERED artwork meant to communicate a story . Especially things like Bruce Timm’s art, which is sort of cartoonish and therefore has nice blocked-out areas for color.
The fidget toys make more sense to me than the aromatherapy thing or the coloring book, but I often use them more for anxiety , than to keep hands busy during TV and such – because I need more “direction” when I’m sitting passively in a normal room . I’d want something like a coloring book for that, actual busywork with a *directed goal*, you know? .
Knock Knock makes some pretty cool products, though; I wish this pad had some slots for the weekend, because it’d be perfect for me then, but it’s neat as a concept. I have used, and love, another organization pad of theirs though that some ADHDers may appreciate: there’s one they’ve made that is for grocery lists called “All Out Of” I think? That I adore.
