Short & Sweet 2022 Gift Guide

Gifts are a love language. If someone gives you a gift there is a word for it: gave. They gave you a gift..."gifting" or "gifted" are annoying words, please don't use. 


Now let me guide you to some gifts worth *giving*... 

____________________



The Chronicles of Narnia Book Set* | $23

For a kid who might not know, or an adult who knows all too well about the joy of entering in the wardrobe. Other sets ideas to give- Shel Silverstein, Goosebumps, Babysitters Club, you know... the classics. *hot tip: most (not all) items on Costco.com you don't need to be a member to buy, shipping is usually low too. You're welcome.

Thrive Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara | $25

This was given to me last Christmas and lives up to it's hype. I didn't want to like it because you can't find it at the store, you have to order through their website, but that also makes it a better gift since it isn't something you can just pick up at the store.

Sur La Table Flex-Core Jar Scraper With Stainless Steel Handle$15 

I impulse bought this at checkout like 5 years ago and it's one of my most used kitchen utensils. Fits in jars, but I use it all the time for egg scrambling, bowl scraping, frosting swirling. It's held up too, good as new to this day.

Fresh Flowers by Urban Stems | $50 to $150 depending on bouquet 

You can send them to friends near or far, or just come with. People say "but they are short lived" ok, let me tell you, show up with a bouquet of flowers, and they will be a welcomed delight even if for just 5 days, people will like them for 5 days.

Virtual Live Baking Class  | $45 & up

They say experiences are the best (though, maybe not always practical). This option charges per device so you can book and invite friends over for a fun night in or you can buy one for you and one for a someone who lives away from you, both on together for the same class!

Land's End Flagship Flannel Button-down Shirt, also in Big & Tall | $26 

If it's good enough for John Dutton, then your bro/dad/man deserves to try to be a little bit more like Rip by way of his outfit, lol.

Flying Toy | $15

Idk, looks fun.

Recipe to make them a comfort dessert | $10 + your time and the secret ingredient: either love or pot, up to you.

And do yourself a favor, use with the best chocolate chips ever (that tip right there is a gift from me to you). 



XOXO, Merry Christmas! Happy gifting.... hahahaha jk, don't use that word for real.
