2020 has been one helluva year. Almost feels surreal to finally be putting this Annual Gift Guide together. In a way, it also feels a little selfish given how challenging things have been across the globe. I think it’s OK to still step back and keep with traditions that create joy for other people. I hope that you can find some joy here inside this guide whether it’s for yourself or someone you care about. Let’s go!
