I Prescribe: Baked Cheese Crunchies from Trader Joes

For: engagements, break-ups, unemployment, writer’s block, and any time you want to binge on crunchy goodness

Prescriber’s Notes: These crunchies are salty, cheesy, super-crunchy and since they are baked, you can eat the whole bag (because you know you will anyway) and only feel a little bit bad about yourself.  This is a bag of $1.49 deliciousness that will surely cure any funk you’re in.   Or put you in a carb daze so you’ll need a nap.  Either way, they’re worth it.

I Prescribe: Urban Sherpa Strap from Go Gaga

For: Feeling Weighed Down, Burdens, Balance

Prescriber’s Notes: I Schlep, You Schlep We all Schlep. You know that messenger bag strap indentation on your right shoulder? It’s like a war wound of the overworked, isn’t it? Thing of the past. These comfy ingenious straps are a soft stretchy material that spreads out to distribute the weight more evenly across your back. Plus they have a cool urban vibe and look good. There’s even a cell phone case attached. Works on any bag/item with rings to clip to. Use with your camera, your school bag, your diaper bag. In good health.

I Prescribe:  Stroller Plates by SF Modo
For:  Babies with places to go and people to see
Prescriber’s Notes:   Do you remember as a kid the feeling of looking through the key chain rack never to find your own name?  No worries now.  Have a personalized plate made for your kids, your grandmas, and even your dogs.   Even cooler, you pick the state (your state of mind doesn’t count).

I Prescribe: Snuggie for Dogs

For: A lack of anything better to spend your cash on

Prescriber’s Notes: We all know that our canine pals are prime sources of retail therapy fun. The bags, the clothes, the accessories and now… the Snuggies! Just when you’d thought you’d run out of something you didn’t need to buy but really needed to buy right away, there’s this. And the best part is that your dog doesn’t already have a bathrobe to wear backwards so he really needs this! How did animals ever survive in the wild withough microfleece?

I Prescribe: Hillybilly Windchimes

For: Bringing your ego down a few (thousand!) notches

Prescriber’s Notes: You can’t deny your roots when you display this festive set of chimes on your front porch with a sofa, recliner, and broken-down Frigidaire!  Great way to keep your growing ego in check.  Can’t get too fancy when you got a string of brewskie cans and a few cars on blocks on your lawn.  Keep it real!

I Prescribe: “10 more reps and the cupcake is history” workout towel by Words to Sweat By

For: People that workout so they can eat more cupcakes

Prescriber’s Notes: We don’t need inspiration to eat a cupcake, but a cupcake can serve as inspiration to work out, right?  These hand-made towels say what you’re thinking when you’re sweating, grunting, and wishing you were doing anything BUT exercise.  And at $8, they are ultra-affordable for stocking stuffers and self-gifting.

I Prescribe: Good Dog, Carl by Alexandra Day
For: those who need a good dose of the “awwwwwww”s
Prescriber’s Notes: This is my go-to gift for baby showers, kids birthdays, and for anyone in a funk.  I love this story, and I pull it from my own shelf when I need to fell all gooey inside.  I mean, what more do you need to turn that frown upside down than a sweet dog that takes a baby on adventures?
