Holiday Gift Guide
Written by: Rebekah Bowen
Christmas time is here again! For some, it’s stressful. But for me, it’s one of my favorite times of year! I don’t know about you, but I always struggle trying to find the perfect gift for the ones I care about. I like to put thought into what I’m getting for everyone. It’s not just about getting them some material thing, but more about the thought and meaning I put into it. Each year it gets harder and harder, but I try to think back during the year to remember a time or day when they talked about something they’ve been wanting or needing.
My steps to gift giving include:
#1: Make a list of everyone you are shopping for.
#2: Focus on each person individually; think about what they might have mentioned or talked about wanting or things they like.
#3: If you are not sure and need some ideas there are many sites that give great suggestions! Etsy, Amazon, Today.com, Cnet.com, and most sites you are already shopping on.
#4: Order as soon as you can! Shipping gets delayed the closer it gets to Christmas and you may not get it in time.
