7 gifts you can try to give your friends with OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

They will thank you for putting their lives in order.

So we all know someone with OCD. I’m sure we do.

Could be your boss. Your friend. Your brother. Yourself. And you know whatever nonsense you give them for Christmas will probably end up in the trash. Because what can’t be used will take up space, collect dust, and is basically just a humongous headache to the obsessively compulsively disordered.

So, here’s a list on 10 possible things that you can gift these people with this Christmas.

Or buy for yourself in case you decide to fulfil that longstanding resolution of keeping your everything sorted.

#1 EZSTAX

I’m sure you’ve encountered the Flip Fold. Be it while watching your OCD friend pack for his holiday, or while watching Sheldon do his laundry in The Big Bang Theory.

But everyone knows about that. All basic OCD-ians probably have a few of those already. It’s handy, but it doesn’t prevent this from happening...

You know what all OCD-ians need to combat this? THE EZSTAX.

I know it doesn’t look like much, but just check out what it can do!

Doesn’t this look perfect? The EZSTAX comes in two sizes, and prices start from $22 and vary according to how many shelves you buy. You’re welcome.

 

#2 Toothbrush Sanitiser

Yes. All people plagued with OCD are overly concerned about their toothbrushes, because well, you have to stick it into your mouth every day, and the idea of a germy toothbrush is just too much to handle.

So the best way to store your toothbrush safely away from crawling insects and to protect it from the many microbes floating around in your bathroom is probably to use a toothbrush sanitiser.

I recommend this one from Violife which costs $49.95 from Amazon. Why? Well, not only can it Eliminates up to 99.9% of the germs on your toothbrush, but it’s also effective in Killing 99.99% of the H1N1 (Swine) Virus on toothbrushes. Which is important because you never know who uses your toothbrush when you’re not looking.

And look! There’s even a travel-sized version for trips overseas!

$23.46! Who cares for disposable hotel toothbrushes when you can bring your own toothbrush which has been sanitised with a UV germicidal light bulb?

#3 Melamine Sponges

Have you heard of melamine sponges? They’re great! They get rid of anything from standard dirt to tough-to-clean-grease stains!

Just add a bit of water and you’re good to go. And the best part? $2 from Daiso. You’re welcome.

#4 Obsessive Chef: Wooden Chopping Board

Like it’s name suggests, this chopping board is meant for people who need their ingredients to be sliced with utmost precision. Like so.

Source Source

And now everyone can do so with the incorporation of this wooden chopping board into their kitchen routine.

Help everyone create dishes of perfection. $26.87 from Amazon.

 

#5 GRID-IT!

Yes, I’m aware that everyone knows what a bag organiser is, and probably owns one already. But the problem is that most bag organisers are misshapen sad pieces of nylon that you bought online or got free from some insurance company.

But this isn’t really what people with OCD want. Sure, it gets your things sorted. But it really doesn’t look neat with everything being organised with precision. But you know what does? Organisers from the GRID-IT range.

Source Source

Doesn’t everything look so well, geometrically pleasing with everything being fitted perfectly into place? Life can’t possibly get any better than this.

And the makers of Cocoon understand the OCD-ian’s need to organise everything. So these GRID-ITs are available for everywhere from the visor of your car for $19.90.

To your luggage bag for $29.99.

Have you ever resorted to magic to try to open your front door because you gave up on fumbling for the correct key?

I know I have. But that problem’s easily solved with the KeySmart 2.0 Compact Key Organizer. Just look at the difference!
