From Wordle to sweets, here are some amusing holiday gift ideas for the grown-ups

Adults. They, too, need fun stuff for the holidays. From sweet treats to things with wheels, some ideas for pleasing a child at heart this holiday season.

Wheels

Wheels

The American icon Schwinn makes something called the Shuffle Deluxe Scooter. It has two wheels and bicycle-like handlebars but retains scooter status with a nostalgic wood step board. With kickstand. $249.

Razor recently launched the Razor Icon (pictured). It's bigger, faster and electric.

If scooters aren't how your giftees roll, try a longboard. They're everywhere. Koastals are plentiful and come in a range of prices and designs. They're handcrafted in Southern California. From $99 to $280. Buy complete or customize.

Can't think of anything unusual? Research and reach for a special bottle. There are too many variables and options for too many palates to make one solid recommendation, but special splurges abound. Consider Garrison Brothers Distillery for bourbon. It has a range of price points.

Look for “premier cru” or “grand cru” on Champagne labels noting top vineyards, as in the Krug Grande Cuvée Brut. It's in the $180 range. Got a wine buff? How about the 2019 Insignia from the Napa Valley Joseph Phelps Vineyards. $330.
