I don’t know about you, but 2020 has not been my favorite year. This is the year when we need our beloved holiday traditions more than ever. One tradition is the opportunity to bring joy to our loved ones (and maybe even ourselves) with gifts!

Here is how I’ve organized my gift guide. There are no “gifts for her” or “gifts for him” lists since so many of these gifts overlap anyway. Instead, I have organized my lists by price so you can go right to the section that you need.

I often get my best ideas from seeing other ideas! In that spirit, I hope this list will help you find great gifts for everyone on your list, but I also hope it give you even better ideas of your own.

Another thing to consider: although I include links to every gift (since many of us are doing all of our shopping online this year), please consider supporting your local small businesses. If you see a gift idea here that might be available at a local business, please call them instead of using my link!

Happy Holidays, y’all!
