2023 Gift Guide

Nov 27, 2023

Happy Monday! To remind, you can leave comments or questions on this thread. Scroll to the bottom to see where.

I hope you had a lovely holiday and a nice long weekend (if you were lucky enough to have time off.) I am not a big shopper or collector of things. I feel that most of us fortunately have enough, BUT I do my share of gifting during the holidays and I know you do too. It is no easy task to find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. I compiled a fun gift guide to give you some ideas, but do look back on my last few gift guides or peruse my newsletters for other items I love. I didn’t repeat any items from other lists on this guide! I also love sharing homemade gifts from the kitchen. I think a homemade pie in a beautiful pie plate or cookies on a lovely plate are a great gift. I used to make big batches of granola for my kids’ teachers and gift them in wide-mouth canning jars! If you would like to share any of your favorite things or the best gift you received recently, feel free to mention in the comment section!
