Friends!

I am literally always so behind on the gift-getting & gift-giving & gift-guiding I thought I’d get a head start this year.

2020 has been absolutely bonkers & I am sure we are all looking forward to spending the time we can with those we are able, whether in person or in spirit. I made this list because I want you to spend even less time wondering what to buy, and more time focusing on the things that matter most. I'm also aware monetary gifts are totally off the table for some because of budget constraints, so I've included a few ideas for making gifts as well.

I’m looking back at all my favorite things from 2020– gifts given to me, gifts I gave, and what I’m dreaming of this year, in hopes they inspire your list-making and take a little less time off your to-dos. Plus I've added a few other items I love just for funsies. From small businesses to Amazon, almost every gift on this list is under $200.

In here you will find baby gifts, spiritual gifts, gifts for your home or a hostess, gifts for the men in your life, and anything else I could think of. You might even want to put a few on your wish list. There are links to each item as well as a graphic at the end full of most of the what I've tagged. Happy gifting!
