It’s been getting very cozy and Christmas-y around these parts—I’ve decked the mantel with garland, baked lots of cookies, drank a solid amount of eggnog, and have had a giant pot of soup on the stove every night for at *least* the past 5 days. Yep, it’s officially the holidays! And you know what that means…finding and sharing gifts with your favorite people. I consider myself to be a pretty good gift-giver, but there are certain people I struggle with buying gifts for since they tend to be the type that just buys something for themselves if they really want it…so they have pretty much everything they want. In this case, I need to be the person that finds them something they want before they *realize* they want it, which I’m getting better and better at each year (you’re welcome, Dad.) So if you’re looking for a little gift inspiration to get ahead-of-the-curve for those who already have all the things they think they want, I’m here to help! I’ve put together an awesome list of fun and unique gifts from different makers across the world in a gift guide, and I hope it inspires you to shop small this holiday season. I also have a list of non-profits below that are doing really incredible work, so make sure to check them out. If you like giving physical gifts that can be opened, you can always pair a small donation made in someone’s name along with a physical gift, and that way your recipient feels rewarded in both a physical and emotional sense. Everybody wins! 😀
