The Candidly 2019 Gift Guide: Aka The Only Guide You Need This Year
by Marissa Pomerance and Audie Metcalf
Every time the holidays roll around and it comes time to show our loved ones we really know them and we really love them through impossibly thoughtful gifting, why are none of our gift options any good? Everything is too expensive, too cheap, too weird, too basic, too personal, too impersonal, too dumb.
But this holiday, we’ve done all the incredibly time consuming dirty work for you, and found all the correct options for everyone in your life. Except for little kids. You’re on your own with that howling nightmare.
For The Guy You Never Know How to Shop For
For Your Wellness-Loving Friend Who Tries Everything
For The Beauty Junkie Who Has Every Product On Earth
For The Clothes Horse Who Loves Online Shopping
For The Homebody Who’s Home Watching Netflix Right Now
For The Excellent Home Cook In Your Life
For That Woman Who’s High Key Impossible to Shop For
And, listen.
Buy some of this stuff for yourself, too.
If something is on this list that you’ve always wanted, or that you’ve always wanted since the 7 minutes reading this article, just get it. The holidays can be a screaming vortex of stress and sadness and being underwater and impossible scheduling and getting enough work done before the break to actually spend time with your kids and writing 17 lists for all the ingredients to make something special for Aunt Ruth who can’t eat dairy, so get the pink dutch oven. Get the camel coat.
Treat yourself to the love and care and thoughtfulness you give others. You deserve it.
Happy holidays.
