I did my first ever holiday gift guide for travelers<\/a> a few years ago, which was fun to compile. Readers seemed to enjoy the various items, and I was happy to share some of the products that accompanied me on the road. <\/p>\n

Now that my life is a little different<\/a> \u2013 something all of you already know \u2013 my gift suggestions are less about souvenirs from abroad or reading about travel, and more things I use day to day or found wonderful. <\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll find something you like in them! <\/p>\n

Holiday gifts for the season<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of birds in here, you\u2019ve been warned.<\/p>\n

Hands free shoes and boots<\/h4>\n

It was a fellow leak patient who first told me about Kizik shoes, and I have used them ever since. Made with patented technology that allow for hands-free use, these sneakers come in different styles and colours, and are available in kids, women, and men\u2019s options. <\/p>\n

A note that their newer models aren\u2019t as good for my spinal CSF leak because the heel drop is higher; I find the Lima model to be the most comfortable, though my shoes are their Cairo model that has since been discontinued.<\/p>\n

Once you tie the laces on Kiziks the first time, you simply step into the shoes thereafter. To get out, you use your other foot to hold the base steady and slowly pull out of the shoe. They\u2019re excellent for people with disabilities, for pregnancy, for seniors, and generally for those who hate having to crouch to get their shoes on and off.<\/p>\n

And for this holiday season, they also have winter boots for the first time, and a new Chelsea boot that goes to the ankle.<\/p>\n

A pencil to end all pencils<\/h4>\n

Do you know someone who is particular about their writing implements? The New York Times calls the Blackwing 602 the \u201cRolls Royce\u201d of pencils, a previously popular choice from many a writer\u2014including John Steinbeck. First created in the 1930\u2019s, the Blackwing was also used by Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. After 1998, the pencil couldn\u2019t be found, and devotees were paying $40 a pop when they did locate a stash. Thankfully, in 2010, a California company brought it back for \u201ca new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence\u201d (not sure what they mean by that, but yes \u2014 it\u2019s a great pencil!).<\/p>\n

They brought back the cult-favourite mainstays: comfortable grip, a replaceable eraser in a very satisfying rectangular shape (why is this so satisfying!?), and a pencil crafted from California cedar and Japanese graphite. It writes like a dream, and makes doodling a pleasure. It\u2019s not cheap but it\u2019s not $40 a pencil expensive. Still, if you\u2019ve got a family member or friend who loves to draw or handwrite, it\u2019s a fun gift.<\/p>\n
