2023 Holiday Gift Guides
Holiday season will forever be my favorite time of year, but that doesn't mean it also can't come with some organized chaos when it comes to holiday shopping. Ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I wanted to share this year's carefully curated holiday gift guides to help make checking off your list a little bit easier.
When it comes to gift giving, I always try to be really intentional with who I'm buying what for, and while I create these guides to give YOU thoughtful gift ideas, I also create them for me and end up shopping off of each list for family & friends! I hope these are helpful!
Have you visited the Holiday Hub? Check it out for even more gift ideas.

My pick: the Aura digital photo frame is extra special if parents/in-laws don't live nearby. Any family member can upload photos via the cloud directly to the frame and parents can enjoy seeing new memories each day.
