We all know this time of year can be a lot. Between juggling work deadlines, keeping the bank account from crying, and trying to maintain even a shred of mental sanity, it’s no wonder holidays sometimes feel like a luxury.
Gift giving, in particular, can send even the most level-headed into a spin— after all, everyone wants to find that perfect present that’s thoughtful and won’t break the budget.
We’ve all done it, comparing, researching, and worrying whether Aunty Anne will actually like that scented candle or if your bestie’s TikTok obsession demands something trendier.
