Every blogger and their brother has a gift guide and I, for one, am here for all of it. What a perfect way to filter the utter overwhelm of shopping on the endless shelves of the internet. Gift guides are almost always helpful. But they’re not usually funny.
Except for
‘s Highly Specific Gift Guides. The requests are as fun to read as the recommendations.Enjoy (you’ll be so glad there are two parts)!
Some of my personal favorite (more traditional) gift guides:
- (formerly known as Girl’s Night In) always has fantastic, well-rounded guides and this year’s round up includes ideas for everyone (guys, in-laws, friends…)
- created several guides rounded up by the perfect shopping filters, like Gifts Made By & Support Artists, Gifts Under $50, Gifts If You’re Shopping For A Friend Like Me (Her)
Speaking of, if you’ve got someone like me (Tami) on your list,
‘s Gift Guide has 10 perfectly unique ideas for your favorite writers, artists, and creative weirdos
What (or who) are your go-to gift guides?
