Travel Mug
I like the fact that you can flip a tab and the opening will close quickly as you don’t have to worry about spilling. I would and definitely have recommend this coffee travel mug.

Mens Wallets
Oh, wallets. I’ve had a few in my lifetime but they’ve never seemed to be the one. I had a velcro wallet one once and that was great until you opened it and realized that people were staring.
[!Jim’s Pick] Jim’s Pick - This is the wallet I would buy if I had to do it all over again Amazon.com: Vaultskin MOORGATE Slim Card Holder – Minimalist Leather Wallet with RFID Blocking, Front Pocket Credit Card Case for Men & Women (Royal Blue) : Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
I always, always wore my wallet that had every receipt in it from 1985 becausse, you never know when you might need it again.
But then I found out about minimalist wallet. I’m no minimalist as [[We Have That At Home!| this site]] will show over time but man it’s nice to get this thing into your front pocket instead of the back because it’s a lot easier on the back and you don’t have take your wallet out after driving for 40 minutes because you can’t feel your ass anymore.
If my pick doesn’t do it for you there’s a few other wallets that might work and are still minimal:

Mens Puffer Coat
I really don’t care much for what winter coat I have as my current lifestyle is to go from house to car most days and maybe have to stand around and wait for the school bus with my daughter in the am.
![[Pasted image 20251123192231.png]] I have the Amazon essentials puffer jacket and one of the better features of this jacket is that it is cheap and is often on sale for $20 or so which in 2025 is a great price for a jacket of any kind.
[!NOTE] Jim’s Pick for a lightweight puffer jacket Amazon.com: Amazon Essentials Men’s Packable Lightweight Water-Resistant Puffer Jacket (Available in Big & Tall), Navy, Large : Sports & Outdoors
There’s other jackets you could buy and some are from brands you recognize and then some are from brands you don’t but they are all the same fairly well so just pick one. I like the Amazon one I list above, but if that’s not your bag, then there’s others to choose from.
Kid's Skechers Shoes
Jim’s Pick
But, the kiddo loves them more than her sea monkeys so there’s that.
I must warn you that if you’re buying these for your child that they will be clean for all of about 7 seconds. But the good news is that they seem to be washable for the most part and the lights still work after.
Maybe I got lucky with the washing, I dunno but you only get a few month out of these anyway and you can usually find them on sale for about $25 so whatever.
These are great shoes because the child can put them on themselves due to the elastic laces and velcro. I recommend these.
There are other designs and colors if you don’t like my pick, but the skechers are a good brand name sneaker for little growing feet.
The Sea Monkeys are Growing
We fed the sea monkeys today and it was okay for us and a little fun and I can’t believe that the sea monkeys are actually growing. I thought she was going to jump out of her shoes when she saw the first monkey swimming in the water.
These are a fun little thing and seem to be age appropriate too.
Here’s a few sea monkeys you can buy if you would like to buy them from Amazon:
Glass Pen Holder
I have no idea where I got this, but I’ve had it for years and it’s survived more than one move, which is more than I can say about all the other stuff.
It’s hard to find a sturdy holder for your [[pens]] and [[scissors]] and [[highlighters]] that does not topple over at the the first glance of a bump on the desk or something like that.
Jim’s Pick:
**Amazon.com : Officepal Pen Holder for Desk, Ceramic Pencil Organizer & Makeup Brush Holder, Office Decor and Desk Accessories，Perfect Office Organization,Teacher Supplies (White, Set / 1) : Office Products ** This one wins because it’s relatively cheap and is not as flimsy as the other pen holders available. It’s only about 10 bucks too. check price
If it came down to it, I would choose the Ceramic Model as my replacement for my glass one. The glass one has survived the years but I think the ceramic is one I want to use as my every day if I had to do it all over.
Here’s a few other options that didn’t make the cut for one reason or another:

Trivets for the Table
I like Trivets, I do.
I didn’t know what a trivet was until my late 40’s but now we have them everywhere and they are used almost every day.
What’s a trivet? It’s a thing that allows you to put something hot from the stove and not burn the thing underneath. We use it to serve family style sometimes when we are glass pen holder lazy.
Jim’s Pick
I’m not that fussy about trivets and so I[[2025-11-23-keychron-keyboards|keyboards]] just get some cork trivets like these and call it a day:
Men's Hoodies
I have fallen when it comes to fashion. At one time it was all about the look and now comfort trumps all and I live in a hoodie almost all the time now.

Jim’s Pick
If I had to pick one hoodie, it would be this one because, I would like to have no logo at all but I am the odd one and this is the best it gets then it’s this one:
adidas Men’s Essentials Fleece Hoodie, Shadow Brown, Small at Amazon Men’s Clothing store
All you really need is a clean hoodie a white t-shirt underneath and some comfortable shoes and you’re ready to go.
I’m kind of allergic to logos, but the Adidas stuff is well made for the most part so that’s why I would buy this one over others, but there’s a few other options to consider when buying the best hooded sweatshirt for your wardrobe
Also worth considering:
Hanes Men’s Full-Zip Eco-Smart Hoodie, Navy, Large at Amazon Men’s Clothing store
Hanes Men’s Pullover EcoSmart Hooded Sweatshirt, Navy, Large at Amazon Men’s Clothing store
