We haven’t even finished our Halloween candy, yet it’s time to start thinking about what you’d like to give to your loved ones for the holidays. If you’re like me, you may feel like the season seems to stretch on forever, with Christmas decorations displayed in shops and Black Friday preview sales starting before the first frost blankets the ground. Then you blink, and Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now you’ve only got a few weeks to finish up your shopping. It’s so easy to get consumed by all of the get-togethers, the pressure, and the lines at the store, that the joy of giving can leave us all together, making the whole process feel insincere and stressful. That’s why we’ve gathered a list of some of our favorite products to give you some inspiration while you shop for your favorite lady. Bonus: All of these can be purchased while sitting at home with your feet up!
