2020 Christmas Gift Ideas
Welcome to the beautiful list of more Christmas gift ideas! How are we all doing with our shopping this year? Yesterday I woke up and panicked slightly. I sat down with my cup of coffee and thought I’d browse Nordstrom for a few gifts before I started my day.. everything said: “Arrives by Christmas Eve.” I ran in to tell Sam that we had to get ALL of our shopping done otherwise it was going to be a very hectic holiday. I knocked out a total of two gifts…
So, instead of panicking more (I tend to do that) I sat down and wrote out a major list of ideas that I thought I’d share with all of you. I tried thinking a bit more outside the box to reach a variety of interests. Perhaps if you’re shopping for a dad, husband, brother, grandpa.. or snagging a gift for your mom, wife, sister, grandmother, aunt, etc. this list can give you some great ideas. (I know it did for me!)
Whatever you give this season, make sure to give it a little extra thought. It doesn’t have to have a big fancy price tag, but ensure it’s something a loved one will truly treasure. We could all use a little extra love right now, am I right? Here are tons of ideas to get you started.. happy shopping all!

Make a Donation!
Put it in a loved ones name and send it in a festive card. It’s so important to give where you can this holiday season! Of course do your best to support local, but here are some other major charities you can support this year: Save the Children, Feeding America, Baby2Baby, St. Jude’s, Relief International, and American Humane.
