We believe in slowing down around the holiday season and taking time to enjoy the simple things. You know, like those Christmas traditions that we seem to anticipate all year long but then feel like we have no time for when the actual holiday season hits. Or the family parties that we love attending but forget to enjoy because we’re thinking of all the bazilion things we still haven’t crossed off our to-do list. Sipping hot chocolate in pajamas and baking Christmas cookies with little ones is just so much more enjoyable when we’re not scrambling to finish up our Christmas shopping and make those last minute holiday plans.
So, this year, we’re getting a jump start on Christmas shopping so we can enjoy #allthethings instead of feeling like we have to do #allthethings once December gets here. We’re so excited to share all the great gifts we’re finding with you, too! Every week leading up to Christmas, we’ll be giving you holiday gift guides for each of the special people in your life (moms, babies, kiddos, men…you name it; we’ve got it covered!) right here on the blog. Today, we’re focusing on all the girlfriends in your life. These gifts are perfect for sisters, coworkers, mommy friends, or whoever else is on your shopping list this year. We had so much fun putting together theses staple gift items for all of those special gals in your life!
