It's the time of year where we are busting our butts trying to make a magical holiday experience for everyone… literally everyone, we just put cookies in the mailbox for our mail carrier and hand-dipped Christmas ornaments in glitter for the girls I coach. While we are trying to think of gifts for everyone on our list, to express just how much they mean to us… through a non-cheesy, budget-friendly, thoughtful gift idea, our growing gift list is getting a little crazy and we were running out of ideas. We took a step back and are breaking this year’s gift list down a little differently… take a look.
The idea for some of these items is to gift enough, so you can share in the experience with your giftee!
