Have you ever seen something and thought, “I wish I would have thought of that!” Maybe you haven’t, but a grandparent you know sure has! And you’ve undoubtedly heard one of them say, “That’s the best thing since sliced bread!”

Yeah, bread didn’t used to be sliced. It was just a whole loaf. That was a thing.

Today we’re taking a look at 5 awesome gifts for this holiday season that will get your Mamo and Bampo talking like there’s no tomorrow. “What a handy gift!” they’ll exclaim. And they’ll be right. Because these are pretty darn great!

#1. Bug Bite Thing

This handy, dead-simple tool has been a fave product of ours for many years, and the sharks on Shark Tank apparently agree!

Check out what happens when all five sharks are fighting over one product!

So why were they so excited?

Because the Bug Bite Thing actually works.

Listen, literally every single person on this planet has to deal with bug bites or stings.

And if you’re a grandparent and you have grandkids… you want to make sure they’re always taken care of when those bites strike!

We love it!! ??

Do you want to use expensive creams and ointments?

No, of course not. Because they don’t treat the actual cause of the bug bite.

But the Bug Bite Thing does. It sucks the irritant or venom out the wound with simple suction.

Plus, it’s completely reusable. Just wash it with soap and water, dry it off, and it’s ready to use again.

It’s so easy, we even made a meme about it! Because if there’s one thing grandparents love… it’s memes!

#2. Oasis Diffuser – Waterproof Aromatizer

As we get older, the one thing we all pay attention to is our health. That’s where essential oils can help. They aid in reducing stress, inflammation and all kinds of conditions you wouldn’t expect.

Oil diffusers have been growing in popularity, but what about when you get in the shower? That’s where the Oasis Diffuser – Waterproof Aromatizer comes in.

It’s a very simple idea. You fill up the bottles, turn on the diffuser and take a shower. All that beautiful smelling mist does the rest!

So what kind of essential oils should you use? You can go grab ANY kind really, but some of our favorite essential oils are blends from Zum.

Plus, you’ll give them reports about their health that may reveal things that they never saw coming.

A Photographer Captured Images of Birds That Look like Stunning Sky Sculptures

A Spain photographer creates stunning photos of birds that, at first glance, don’t look like photos at all. Instead, they look like dynamic sculptures in the sky.

The photo project is titled “Ornitographies.” It’s the work of Xavi Bou, a Catalan photographer, whose goal was to draw attention to the natural beauty that many people take for granted.

“One of the topics that interests me is to make visible that in our near environment, we have more variety of fauna than most people imagine — we just have to pay attention,” Xavi told Insider. “It is not necessary to travel to distant places to enjoy nature.”

To create these images, Xavi takes timed photos from a distance. Thousands of birds combine into complex geometric shapes that appear to be moving. As Xavi says, the birds’ movement turns the sky into a canvas of sorts.

Xavi takes most of his photos in his home region of Catalonia, Spain. Most of the birds are common species that often live close to cities.

He’s been interested in the natural sciences since he was young; he used to go on bird walks with his grandfather as a child. He later went on to study both geology and photography as an adult. His work now combines his loves of nature and art into one.

“The first test was done in May of 2012,” Xavi explained. He began to work more deeply on the project in 2015. “Actually, it’s almost my full time dedication. I keep making new ones, working on the future book, and researching for my future projects.”

Check out some more of his photos:

Xavi hopes to inspire people to be “curious” about nature again: “We love
those we know and protect what we love.”

Anti-Vaxxers Tried to Come up with a New Name for Themselves and It Didn’t Go Well…

Anti-vaxxers have a pretty bad reputation in the media. At this point, when you see the word “anti-vaxxer” in a headline, you can pretty much guarantee that you’re about to read an off-the-wall story. That’s why anti-vaxxers are sick of being called that name. They’d like to go by a new name now…

But Twitter is not having it.

The anti-vaxxer website Crazy Mothers posted a demand for media outlets to “please retire the use of the term ‘Anti-vaxxer.’” They say that the term is “derogatory, inflammatory, and marginalizes both women and their experiences.”

“It is dismissively simplistic, highly offensive and largely false,” the statement read on Instagram.

Their new name of choice? “Vaccine risk aware.”

Interesting! The post went viral, and not in a good way. People all over Twitter are mocking the statement and the new name.

Many have chimed in with their own new names for anti-vaxxers, which are decidedly less polite.

“If you don’t want Anti-vax, the only thing left is Self-Indulgent And Irresponsible Crazyperson,” one immunologist wrote on Twitter.

“Would Pro-Diptheria be better?” another person quipped.

Other suggestions included Pro-Epidemic, Pro-Death-From-Preventable-Illness, Plague Enthusiasts, Child-Death Enthusiasts, Pro-Disease, and Clown.

And that’s just the beginning! The new nicknames were endless.

We’re guessing this is the exact opposite outcome that the anti-vaxxers were aiming for. Whoops!

I have a question for all the parents out there: are your kids obsessed with Frozen and has it completely overtaken your life, day in and day out?

15 Amusing Tweets About Going to the Dentist

When I was young, I was terrified of going to the dentist. TERRIFIED. I still don’t necessarily enjoy it, but I don’t lose sleep over it and almost have a nervous breakdown in the weeks leading up to my appointment anymore. Mostly.

The dentist really has the power to elicit some incredibly strong responses and opinions…so let’s look at the evidence.

1. Flossin’ all night.

2. Yassss, Queen!

3. Might make things a little easier.

4. You’re good to go!

5. You’re doing it right.

6. It’s a give and take relationship.

7. I want to hear this…

8. I feel this tweet in my soul.

9. Nailed it.

10. Look away!

11. I’m kind of a big deal.

12. Not gonna happen.

13. It’s HELL.

14. You do you.

15. I can’t imagine why…

How do you feel about going to the dentist? Do you dread it? Do you love it?

If You Waste Money on Stupid Stuff, These Tweets Will Be Right up Your Alley

Take all of my money! Just take it!

I’ll be honest, I have a tendency to spend my money on stupid things. For example, I recently just ordered a 5-pack of headlamps from Amazon. A 5-PACK. Even I recognize that headlamps don’t need to be sold in a 5-pack, and I bought the 5-pack!

Though I guess you never know when you and your friends will get stuck in a cave…or something.

Do you do this, too? If so, these tweets will speak to your soul.

1. Ask and you shall receive.

2. This was necessary.

3. That makes sense.

4. You have your priorities.

5. Don’t do it!

6. Seriously…

7. Just keep it to yourself.

8. Why not?

9. The big time.

10. I’d like to forget it.

11. That’s an essential.

12. That’s not a good feeling.

13. You did your best!

Do us a favor: in the comments, tell us the last really dumb thing you spent your money on. Let’s see if we can out-do each other!
