Here at WOAF we’re intimately familiar with the annual (interpretive) dance of ADHDers buying gifts for the holidays: we think about starting, tell ourselves we have plenty of time, then suddenly it’s somehow two days before Christmas and we’re frantically looking up mall closing times in a panic. “Next year I’ll definitely get on top of things and start super early, no way I’m making this mistake again,” we tell ourselves with a level of delusional optimism only ADHDers can achieve--we’re so quirky.
This episode we’re hoping to help you (and ourselves) break free from this ADHD-fueled Groundhog Day holiday nightmare with some insights into why ADHDers have difficulty with gift-planning and overspending, how to work on impulsivity, and a few easy ways to shop responsibly. We also share our best ADHD gift ideas, though Kristin goes off the rails a bit when the subject of toe socks comes up.
In Hobby Collectors, we go through a range of easy-to-pick-up hobbies that are great for cranking out homemade gifts if shopping isn’t your style and/or your stick drawings are shit. On top of all our great advice, we find plenty of time to giggle about faux-bleeding street children and classic toothpaste pranks. Whether you’re braving the stores, planning a poignant interpretive dance to a Shel Silverstein poem, or something in between, this is your sign to start NOW! But, like, after you listen to our episode preferably.
