Gifts for adults that start with N
Looking for a unique gift for your friend or loved one that starts with the letter “N”? Look no further! Here are some great gift ideas for adults that start with the letter “N”.
Neon signs
There are hundreds of fun neon designs to choose from. Choose manly designs for a mancave, or whimsical designs for kids or a party (like a moon neon sign).
According to Radikal Neon Signs, “…traditional neon uses almost ten times the power consumption as LED neon for a very similar lighting effect. That means that LED neon is way more eco-friendly.”
This means probably 100% of what you see on Amazon is going to be LED signs.
Tips when buying neon signs:
- if provided, remote controls can adjust brightness levels
- may have to buy separate stand if you don’t want to mount or hang the sign
Custom neon signs
If you’re looking for a unique gift, check out a custom neon sign. “Cool” is the word that comes to mind. Here are some ideas for customization:
- a person’s first name
- a family name (The Davidson’s)
- name + icon
- name of your company or brand
Some content creators even purchase custom neon signs to position behind them when recording video for their YouTube channels.
Small neon signs for consumers are easily within budget. LED neon signs on Amazon can be purchased for under $50, without customization.
If you choose the custom option and a large size, the price can increase. For example, one review commented their sign was 3ft wide/1ft tall and cost less than $200 on sale.
Neon love signs
Neon love signs are popular for couples in love, weddings, and other events (like a gift exchange with a very special someone!). Options include variations of “love” such as “happily ever after” and “cheers to love”.
Simple neon heart signs are popular for the same reason, or just to decorate a dorm wall (or a Valentine’s gift exchange).
Other popular neon signs
Neon signs are popular for the night life and lend a party atmosphere. Nor surprisingly, they make great decor for garages, basements, and man caves.
Nespresso pods
Nespresso pods are small, single-serving capsules filled with ground coffee that are designed to be used with Nespresso coffee machines. These pods come in a variety of flavors and strengths, and are made from high-quality coffee beans that have been roasted and ground to a precise consistency.
Nespresso pods are a convenient way to make a single cup of coffee quickly and easily, without the need for measuring or grinding coffee beans. They are also known for their consistent quality and flavor, as each pod is designed to deliver a consistent taste profile every time.
Can you use nespresso pods in a Keurig?
No, Nespresso pods cannot be used in a Keurig machine. Nespresso pods are designed to be used exclusively with Nespresso machines, which use a different brewing system than Keurig machines. Nespresso machines use a high-pressure extraction system to brew coffee, while Keurig machines use a low-pressure brewing system. Additionally, Nespresso pods are a different size and shape than Keurig pods, so they are not compatible with Keurig machines. It is important to use the correct type of pod for your coffee machine to ensure that you get the best results.
Are nespresso pods safe?
Yes, Nespresso pods are generally considered safe to use. The pods are made from food-grade aluminum or plastic that is designed to withstand the high pressure and temperature of the Nespresso brewing process. The coffee inside the pods is also safe to consume, as it is made from high-quality coffee beans that have been roasted and ground to a specific consistency. However, it is important to note that some Nespresso pods may contain trace amounts of BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical that has been linked to health concerns. Nespresso has stated that their pods are BPA-free, but some independent testing has found trace amounts of BPA in some pods. If you have concerns about BPA or other chemicals in your coffee, you may want to consider using a different brewing method or choosing a different brand of coffee pod.
How long do nespresso pods last?
Nespresso pods have a shelf life of up to 12 months from the date of production. The pods are sealed in airtight packaging to maintain their freshness and flavor for as long as possible. However, it is best to consume the pods within a few months of purchase to ensure that you get the best possible taste and quality. Over time, the flavor and aroma of the coffee may begin to degrade, and the crema (the layer of foam on top of the coffee) may become less pronounced. If you have a large number of Nespresso pods and are concerned about their shelf life, it is best to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help to extend their shelf life and preserve their flavor and quality.

No soliciting sign
Strangely enough, a salesperson recently hit up our neighborhood trying to sell educational books. The neighbors all agreed the “no solicitation” signs should go up.
No soliciting signs can be very to the point. The message can also be softened with humour.
What does “no soliciting” mean?
“No soliciting” is a term used to indicate that the homeowner or business owner does not want to be approached or bothered by salespeople or other individuals who are trying to sell goods or services. The term is often used in the context of signs that are posted on doors or in windows of homes or businesses.
When a “no soliciting” sign is posted, it means that the homeowner or business owner does not want to be contacted by salespeople, religious groups, or other individuals who are trying to sell or promote something. This includes door-to-door salespeople, telemarketers, and other types of solicitors.
It is important to respect “no soliciting” signs and not approach homes or businesses that have them posted. Ignoring a “no soliciting” sign can be considered trespassing and may result in legal consequences.
Nostalgic Gifts
Your gift exchange might be a themed idea for nostalgia gifts. To pull this type of exchange off, it would have to be the right crowd. If it’s your idea for a single person, then claim “Nostalgia” for your gift that starts with the letter N!
Here are some nice letter N nostalgic gift ideas to get you started:
- Nostalgic Candy Gift Basket: Fill a basket with classic candies from the past like Pixy Stix, Pop Rocks, and Candy Necklaces. This gift is perfect for someone who grew up in the 80s or 90s and will bring back fond memories of childhood.
- Vintage Board Games: Board games like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Clue have been around for decades and are still popular today. However, finding an original vintage version of these games can be a real treat for someone who grew up playing them.
- Retro Record Player: Vinyl records have made a comeback in recent years, and a retro record player is the perfect gift for someone who loves music from the past. Look for a player with a vintage design that will transport them back in time.
- Personalized Photo Album: A photo album filled with pictures from the past is a thoughtful and nostalgic gift. Include photos of the recipient as a child, family vacations, and other special moments.
- Classic Movie Collection: A collection of classic movies like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and Singin’ in the Rain is a great gift for someone who loves old Hollywood. These movies are timeless and will transport the recipient back in time to a different era.
Overall, nostalgic gifts are a great way to show someone that you care and that you appreciate their memories and experiences. Whether it’s candy from their childhood or a vintage board game, these gifts are a nice thought.
