Alright y’all, if you’re anything like me it’s that time of the year where immediately after you “gobble til you wobble” this week, you’ll start panicking on Friday that you only have a few weeks to buy and wrap up perfect gifts for those you love!
My typical shopping spree has always been while I’m laid up on the couch (most likely in this J.Crew Nightshirt this year) with a creamy cup of hot cocoa, and I wait until the last minute to purchase gifts for my friends and family. But not this year! I’ve already done my “ho ho” research early by shopping the streets of Manhattan and the hidden jewels of the web. I’m so excited to present these swanky, sophisticated, and sometimes simple gifts ideas to you! This year, B+H readers, we won’t be messing up a perfectly good DryBar blowout while we are sweating away in our own little “elf workshops” late at night. We’ll be ready!
