7 gifts perfect for the germaphobe in your life

The pandemic has gotten to even the best of us. Everyone is conscious about the surfaces they’re touching and is constantly sanitising their hands, but there’s no lying that some people are a bit more OCD than the rest. This article is for that one germophobe friend of yours who washes hands every five minutes and judges you for having ‘unhygienic’ Gol Gappas from a cart.  Here are 7 things you can gift your germaphobic friend:

1. A toilet brush to clean for when your friend really wants to use the loo but doesn’t trust the person who cleans it

The washroom is hell for a germaphobe. If your friend controls the urge of going to the restroom every time he/she is outside the territory of the trusted toilet, then this will be a perfect gift. Waseeh Online Store (@waseehonline) is a place that has all the cool gadgets and accessories for your house. Their WC Toilet Brush is made with silicone bristles, which means all the gunk won’t keep sticking to the brush  Another great thing is that this brush can be hung to the wall decreasing the chances of the brush toppling over and spilling the dirty water on the floor. This brush is currently on sale for Rs. 549 Get it here!

2. Anti-bacterial toothbrush holder for your friend who keeps his brush-covered and safe on every trip

If there was a way of brushing teeth without inserting anything in the mouth your friend would have definitely bought it for all the money. Since that is not possible, the next best thing is to sterilise the toothbrush before every use. 3-in-1 Antibacterial Toothpaste Squeezer and Brush Holder by Idealancy (@idealancy.pk) contains a toothpaste dispenser that protects the brushes from cross-infection.  It has UV sterilization which disinfects at the rate of 99.9% in 4 to 6 minutes.  This holder can hold up to 5 toothbrushes and can be stuck to any smooth surface. It is priced at Rs. 1,299. Check it out here!

3. Something to make the cleanliness freak in your life chill a bit 

If your germaphobe friend is a cleanliness freak, loves cuss words and can also take a joke then Inappropriate Gifting (@inappropriategifting) has some amazing gift options.  Their table coasters have things written on them that your friend usually says on the table.  Such as, ‘Don’t stain my table’ and ‘Use a coaster or I’ll punch you’. These coasters are for Rs. 600.  Order here!

4. A mist to sanitise everything your friend might touch  

A germaphobe will try to sanitise anything and everything he/she expects to touch be it a phone, keys, car steering or even a table. Soap Therapy (@soap_therapy) is a natural skin and haircare brand.  Their Natural Sanitizing Mist is formulated according to the WHO guidelines and contains essential oils with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.  This multi-purpose spray can be used on hands, clothes, door handles, the car handles and to sanitize the air in the room.

5. Mosquito season or not this friend is always conscious about getting Dengue Fever

Nothing bugs a germaphobe more than a buzzing mosquito. If your friend constantly worries about getting Dengue Fever or Malaria every time a mosquito bites, you need to sort that out with a mosquito repellent. Honey, I’m Home (@honeyimhomecandles) is a local shop that makes scented candles with pure Beesoy.  Their Tomato Leaf Candle cuts through unpleasant odours, disinfects the air and repels insects. Perfumed Surround is a quality their candles are known to have, with an unmatched throw and unparalleled burn time. Tomato Leaf candle is priced at Rs. 1,000.  Check their profile out here!

6. A hand wash that doesn’t dry up hands due to frequent washing 

Washing hands a gazillion times a day often leaves the hands dry and itchy. No amount of dryness can stop a germophobe to stop washing hands but instead, you can gift them a handwash that is moisturising. Jade (@thejadenature) is a brand that originates from nature.  Their moisturising handwashes come in 4 variations including Tea Tree Oil, Orange Burst, Shea Butter and Papaya Extract.  This 500 ml bottle is priced at Rs. 360.  Order here!
