All I Want for Christmas… Is a Little Help Shopping

Every year, we promise ourselves we’ll stay ahead on Christmas gifts… and every year December arrives and humbles us. Instead of wandering through random gift lists online, we turned to the best resource we have: our staff.

And they delivered! We suddenly had so many great ideas, we knew we had to share them.


If you’re searching for thoughtful, practical gifts for the adults in your life (or for yourself), here’s a curated list straight from our team.

Note: For convenience, we’ve included links to some of the products mentioned in this post. These are not affiliate links, and we do not earn any commission from them. They are simply here to make it easier for you to find the items our staff referenced.
