(skincare and MORE!!)
We’re a week into December, and boy have I been busy selecting gifts!!
As crazy as it may seem, I’m (usually) so busy during Black Friday that I hardly buy a thing!! This year I managed to snag some goodies and now that things have calmed down a bit, I’ve gotten organized enough to really plan out gifts for my friends and family. While it isn’t an exhaustive list, I thought I would share some of the things that I’m picking up (and some of the things I have gifted in the past) for the people who mean the most to me!
I’ve organized my list by price but also included notes within items to share some thoughts on who the gift might be well suited for.
(look down at the bottom for stocking stuffer ideas!!)
