Desert gifts
Who doesn’t love a sweet treat? Bakery and dessert gifts are always a sure win. Quite honestly, you’re going to hit a bigger home run if it’s from a local dessert place, such as a bakery specializing in cupcakes.You can even get creative and make a dessert that starts with the letter D, like donuts or Danish pastries.
DIY Kits
For the creative and crafty person in your life, consider gifting a DIY kit. From knitting and crocheting to woodworking and jewelry making, there are plenty of diverse options to choose from.

Drone for camera for adults
For the tech-savvy adult, a drone is a fun and exciting gift. Drones come in various sizes and designs, from small, handheld models to larger, more advanced drones with built-in cameras.
Drones can get pricey very fast. I recently heard of a crop specialist investing in an $80,000 drone for crop scouting. I imagine the price tag is the same for news agencies and police department use.
Make sure you understand local ordinances about operating drones and where you can legally fly them. You wouldn’t appreciate your neighbor’s drone checking out your backyard barbeque, would you!
Whether your recipient is a photography enthusiast or just loves to fly things, a drone is sure to provide hours of entertainment.
Funny gifts that start with D
Disco ball
Go big or go home! A disco ball sends the message that you do, indeed, have a sense of humor. Double points if you dancing is part of the gift opening. If a disco ball is a wee bit too big, then how about disco ball earrings or disco ball accessories?
Let’s also not forget the disco toilet light:
Mini-dumpster Desktop Accessories
Well, well, well. The funny gag gift companies have been busy little bees. Mini desktop dumpster accessories for your desk seems to be the hot item for 2023. There is also no shortage of other dumpster fire themed accessories, such as mousepads, socks, stickers, coloring books, mugs, and plush toys.
To give you a background, “dumpster on fire” is a meme. The Los Angeles Magazine attributes the smily face dumpster meme to Truck Toreence, a Koreatown-based artist. Actually, it was Truck’s “popular character—a teal, anthropomorphic trash bin with flames shooting out of its top and a little, contented smile on its face—into a collectible toy.”
To be accurate, Truck Toreence didn’t even get mentioned on the Know Your Meme website page for dumpster fire. “Dumpster Fire” itself is a meme in its own right.
His smiley-faced Dumpster Fire came to life in 2016 as a gif and the rest is history. “Torrence corresponded with one person who placed a large Dumpster Fire order and learned that it was for a tech company working a project that had gone awry.”
In fact, the Merriam-Webster dictionary has added ‘Dumpster Fire’ to the Dictionary according to NPR.
Dumpster fire (noun, US informal): “an utterly calamitous or mismanaged situation or occurrence: disaster.”
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Personally, I like the meeting notes that say “Dumpster Fire Incident Report” scratched out with the words added “Work Meeting Notes.”

Dearfoam slippers
Say “Ahhh” to the most comfortable memory foam slippers!
Decorative Home Accents
I, for one, love to decorate my home. Just give me a gift card and I go wild. I wouldn’t necessarily give a decorative home access gift out of the blue – decorating your home is personal. You can, however, be an enabler, and give them a gift certificate to a favorite home decor store.
If the purchase is more significant, like a new desk, dresser for the bedroom, or dining table (D-inspired, of course!), it might have to be a couples decision.
Maybe it’s time to invest in an upgrade of fine dinnerware or a beautiful duvet cover for the master bedroom. If your giftee is into farmhouse decor, they may fawn over this Wooden Dough Bowl Lavender Candle or even more impressive 30-inch Wooden Dough Bowl.
Diamond earrings for women
Diamond earrings – every woman should have at least one pair. Don’t forget that diamond necklaces for women are always a favorite. Alas, the fashion world has moved on to diamond nose rings, diamond anklets, diamond belly rings, and diamond toe rings, because women should be bathed in diamonds from head to toe!
