Episode 48: The ADHD Gift Guide

Episode 48: The ADHD Gift Guide

December shopping with an ADHD brain is not for the faint of heart. You go in for one thing, come out with seven, forget two, and somehow still feel like you missed something important. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, I’m wearing my “That’s a Terrible Idea, I’m In” hat and taking you on a fun, honest, story-filled journey through The ADHD Gift Guide, the real one. Not the Pinterest-perfect version, but the kind of gifts that actually work for ADHD kids, adults, partners, teachers, coworkers, and yes… the gifts we accidentally buy for ourselves and pretend were intentional.

We talk about gifts that help regulate, gifts that spark joy without adding clutter, gifts that support movement, focus, and emotional balance, and why experience gifts often matter more than “stuff” for ADHD brains. This episode is full of laughter, personal stories, and those “oh my gosh, that is so me” moments that make the holidays feel a little lighter.

So grab a snack, settle in, and come hang out with me. This is your permission slip to shop with intention, embrace imperfection, and remember that ADHD brings creativity, magic, and connection to the holidays, even when things get a little chaotic.

Press play and let’s backpack through ADHD together.
