The 2024 Fewer & Better Gift Guide
It’s (almost) that time of year! I absolutely love the holidays and tracking down the right gift for each person on my list. I come by my love of this season honestly–both sides of my family have always loved Christmas, but no one more than my paternal grandmother. Not only did she decorate their entire house for Christmas as soon as possible each year, she even opened a Christmas store in our town in the late 70s! Christmas is in my blood, and I love finding unique gifts that are actually used and loved. This year, like last year, I’ve compiled an extensive gift guide featuring special gifts for everyone on your list.
You can find my full gift edit here on ShopMy, broken down into category for easy browsing, and I’ve linked individual categories below with my three standout gifts from each section.
I’m also happy to help with gifting if you leave me a comment. I love tracking down just the right gift!
