Lego Playset for a Beloved Franchise (Like Animal Crossing!)
Not knowing who you’re buying a gift for, I can’t exactly say which Lego set would be best. But a small Lego set based on a video game, animal, or other interest your loved one has can be a fun option for the person in your life who would cherish any collectible related to their favorite thing. I’ve included this Animal Crossing mini-set, because it’s what I happen to be obsessed with, and because it’s a popular example of the kind of Lego set I’m talking about.
Sprinkler Key Hider by Lucky Line
No matter how hard she tried, my ex with ADHD regularly locked herself out of her apartment, forcing her to climb through windows, body-slam doors, and frantically phone our neighbors and friends. I guess I should have gotten her this gift, which may look like an ordinary sprinkler head, but it’s actually a waterproof container that can discreetly hide a house key! This gift isn’t for everyone, but for that person, it can be a real lifesaver.

Visual Timer With Dry Erase Board
Visual timers — such as timers that clearly show how much time has elapsed and how much remains with a “pie chart” clock face — can be super helpful on their own for focus and time management if you have ADHD. But imagine having that timer attached to a small whiteboard, where you can also write down what you’re supposed to be doing with that time? It stands on its own, has a little pocket in the back for marker storage, and it’s also magnetic, so if your markers run dry, you can attach your written to-do list directly to the board.
‘How to Keep House While Drowning’ by KC Davis, LPC
A basic Google search for phrases like “shame about house ADHD” and “too depressed to clean” will reveal thousands of relevant results, not to mention the abundance of content on platforms like TikTok, all untangling this “secret shame” for many neurodivergent people. As someone who deeply relates, reading KC Davis’ book, How to Keep House While Drowning not only helped me reclaim my messy home, but it also restored my self-esteem. It’s a short read, but the author is someone who truly gets it — not just as a therapist, but as a neurodivergent person and parent. Davis’ lived experience and gentle, knowledgeable approach makes this read such an amazing contribution to our community.
3-Compartment Pill Holder Keychain by Tisur
Tisur makes waterproof containers that hold your meds, and the keychain style has helped ensure I don’t lose my pill holder at the bottom of my bag or desk drawer. This may sound like a boring gift, but your med-forgetting bestie will almost certainly thank you.

‘Tell Me More’ Conversation Prompts by the Compendium Store
As an ADHD yapper who loves deep conversation but is also autistic and not always sure how to invite others to open up, it can feel like a tightrope trying to get to know someone better. I love these conversation prompts — which can be used in many types of relationships, including partners, siblings, friends, and more — because it makes getting to know someone deeply (which can be hard to do!) much lower stakes by turning it into an intentional activity. The structure makes taking turns, skipping questions, and stopping much easier to navigate than an open-ended conversation. Consider getting this for someone you’d like to know better, or to keep on your coffee table for guests.
