Holiday Gift Guide
Holy &!%*$, Christmas is in less than two weeks. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!
My obsession with Christmas is much like my obsession with all things pumpkin, in that I want the season to last forever. In fact, I’ve even been known to break out a few super sneaky tricks to ensure that we have to celebrate all.year.round. oops?
#sorryimnotsorry
Honestly, I’m pretty sure that I was born to celebrate Christmas year-round. Maybe I was an elf in a past life? I love shopping and crafting and I certainly love gift giving – it’s only natural that this is my favorite time season of all! In fact, I basically start my Christmas shopping in, oh… August. So by this point in the year, I’m just compulsively online shopping for “last minute things” [because who can pass up these deals?!] and incessantly working on/talking about all the homemade/crafty stuff that I like to make & give. Oh, and giving gift advice [or actual gifts to give] to every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes along: “Oh, Mom – I found this awesome shirt for Pete; do you want to give it to him?!” and “Michael, I bought these Alex & Ani bracelets for Mom… from you. Is that okay? Yea? Great!”
Don’t worry, I realize that not everyone is as Christmas-crazy as I am [and I can’t even get started about you crazy shmucks who wait until the last minute to do your shopping. I get agita just thinking about it]. So for those of you who are still trying to find that “perfect gift” [or two] for the last few people on your Christmas list, I put together a few ideas that will hopefully help you out… happy shopping!
