I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a year... in every way. We wanted to create a holiday gift guide with a few things in mind. First, the year has been emotionally draining for everyone in various ways, so we wanted to focus on gift ideas that could bring joy and serve as more of an experience than just an item. Most of the gifts that are included in this list are very reasonable in price, but we think they hold a lot of value. Our guide is curated mostly from items that we sourced on Etsy and Uncommon Goods. We think Etsy especially is the perfect place to do holiday shopping: you are supporting small businesses and giving a gift that it unique, handmade, and thoughtful. Each individual item is linked so you can check it out if you're interested!
A Gift of Connection
We love the idea of these three gifts: they're something that the person you gift it to can use over and over and are great tools to keep you in a good head space for the new year ahead. They're also all a great way to stay connected with others during this time of isolation.
For the Guy in Your Life
We feel like shopping for a guy is notoriously hard. Of course you can give anyone any of the gifts on this list, but we thought these three in particular were too good not to include.
For the Foodie
Everyone has at least one person in their life that is either a foodie or someone who really appreciates a good kitchen gadget (personally guilty of being obsessed with both) so we wanted to include some noteworthy items in this category.
The Person who has Everything
This slideshow of items is more miscellaneous than our other categories, but we thought they could be the perfect additions to the person on your list who you have a hard time shopping for every year.
WFH
With most people working from home these days, we wanted to include some items that spice up your desk area a bit, but are also super functional.
Self Care
We love the idea of giving the gift of self care (especially this year) and thought these few items were a great way to do that. The mix-yourself face masks are giving us serious Spa Science vibes. Did anyone else have this as kid? We were OBSESSED!
That wraps up our 2020 Gift Guide. We hope this helped spark some ideas of gift ideas as holiday shopping is ramping up for most people this week. Let us know what you think and if you end up grabbing any of these items for the people on your list!
