2024 Holiday Gift Guide
Well, here we are. November; the night before Thanksgiving, the eve of the superbowl of shopping! Another year has flashed before us and I still feel like I’m on a treadmill and someone keeps increasing the speed! It’s been an exceptionally busy fall and while I should be in the kitchen making my “famous” eclair cake (IYKYK), instead I’m putting the finishing touches on my first ever holiday gift guide!
When I’m busy it means I’m shopping and I have made so many new discoveries that I’ve been dying to share! I hope you can find a little something for everyone on your list…especially yourself! Happy Holidays!
