Gift Guide 2023

Good morning! I wanted to make accessing the gift guides easier so I’ve put them all in one spot. You can always go to the menu at the top of my blog and click shop to find them. You can also access this through the link in my profile on Instagram. With Christmas three weeks out, I hope you are doing much better than I am with your list. And as always, I am a huge proponent of gifting experiences and time spent with family. That is priceless.

*If the links aren’t working for you, it may be a Safari issue and they will work in another browser. I’ve been told the may not work in Safari if your phone is not updated. Sorry for any frustration. Taking a closer look on my end as well.
