Gift Ideas for Couch Potatoes
Today the life of the couch potato is more diverse than it was a generation or even 10 years ago. Television is just one source of entertainment for the couch potato. They can now enjoy video games and surf the Internet using a laptop computer or smart phone from the couch. When buying a gift for your favorite couch potato, look for that special item that will bring a smile to his or her face and make their life on the couch a little easier. Does this Spark an idea?
Robot Vacuum
The couch potato is often nagged by housemates to get up off the couch and pitch in with the housework. If you are prepared to spend a little extra for the gift, consider a robot vacuum cleaner. This handy electronic gadget will busily clean the floors while the couch potato pursues more entertaining couch activities. Everyone will be happy.
Electric Throw
It can get a little chilly on cold winter nights. Instead of turning up the heater or starting a fire in the fireplace, an electric throw will make the couch potato toasty. Similar to an electric blanket, the electronic throw is a small blanket that plugs into an electrical outlet and heats up like a heating pad.
Laptop Pad
Laptop computers heat up and can be uncomfortable to hold on the lap. If the couch potato on your gift list uses a laptop, buy him or her a laptop computer pad. There are a variety of sizes and styles available. When choosing the right laptop pad, consider the size of the laptop computer and look for a wider pad if the recipient uses a mouse.
Custom Cup or Mug
If you are on a budget, a custom mug or cup might be within your price range as a gift. First consider the couch potato's favorite beverage. An oversized, personalized cup will limit some of the trips to the kitchen and avoid dirty cups collecting on the counter. An insulated cup will keep the drink cold for a longer period.
Universal Remote or Remote Caddy
Either a universal remote or a remote caddy will help organize the space around the couch. Depending on the electrical devises employed by the couch potato, a universal remote may simplify the recipient's life by using just one remote to operate the various electronic devices. If the person is reluctant to give up any remotes, give them a remote caddy to neatly organize the collection of remote controls.
Massage Pad
The ultimate gift for the couch potato is a new recliner. If a recliner is beyond your budget, consider a gift that spruces up someone's old chair. One such item is a massage pad that will fit on the seat of the couch or recliner. This will massage and heat the back of whomever is sitting there.
