Intentional Giving- A Gift Guide with Heart

It’s that time of year again- so many lists, so much to do, and that feeling like time is moving at warp speed. With all we have going on in life, particularly at this time of year, it can be stressful to get it all done, and to do it in a way that goes beyond just “checking the boxes.” The truth is, though, that it doesn’t have to be a chore. And if you find yourself feeling stressed out about getting it all done, it’s time to consider a different approach, and one that I promise will change the way you thinking about holiday gifting.

You know that saying, “it’s the thought that counts?” It’s usually used in the context of giving or receiving a gift that is less than meaningful. Like hey, at least I thought of you at all! But I see it differently. It is the thought that counts. Literally. It’s taking the time to think about your recipient- what do they like to do? What interests them? What makes them smile? Those answers should come easily when you are thinking about the people in your life. And once you answer those questions, you can create categories and find gifts that will be special and meaningful. Gifts that make your recipient feel seen, heard and loved, which in my opinion, is a beautiful gift in itself. A gift within a gift, if you will!

So let’s break it down. Below you’ll find some categories to help you organize your lists, and I’ve curated some gift selections that you can easily shop below by clicking the photos. Oh, and I tried to find the best deals for you too! Some of the retailers have discount codes that you will need to plug in before purchase. Hope you find it all helpful— Happy Shopping, and Happy Holidays, my friends.
