When the three wise men brought gifts for the baby Jesus, I honestly don’t think they had a clue as to what traditions they started for Christmas nowadays. I use this reference lightly, as I’m not hugely religious, however, it provides a good analogy to the simplicity of what Christmas once was — a time to spend with loved ones. I like to believe that the gifts were merely a token, a fraction of what these wise men could give to the son of God. But, I digress.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love to shop! (Especially for myself…) But shopping for others, now that is hard work. People can be so particular and you certainly don’t want to offend anyone with a well-intentioned gift. What was once a simple token of affection is now almost a sport. I play into it every year simply because I love the holidays. And whether the wise men had envisioned our modern traditions is besides the point. We do it because we love our family members and want to show them so through the gifts we buy them. It is, as I said before, a fraction of what we can give and a symbol to show our love.
So, with all that being said, I’d like to introduce my Holiday Gift Guides to you. I created these with those of you in mind that struggle to find gifts for your loved ones. These gift ideas range in price from bougie to budget friendly. Almost all items are gifts that I have either purchased, or friends have purchased and loved, so I can attest to the quality of the majority of them. I will provide links to all of these should any of them spark your interest. In the very least, I hope they provide inspiration for you on your quest to find the perfect gifts. You can find links to the items here. Happy shopping!
