My husband will vouch for me that I absolutely love to shop, even during the holidays. Taking on the challenge of finding the right gift for someone can be pretty stressful, as well as finding a parking spot at the mall. Wanting someone to know that you have put thought into their gift and that you know what they like can really make a difference. My kids start giving me lists early, but I also like to surprise them with special things that they never expect. I love seeing my family and friends faces light up in delight. Here are some of my favorite things to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list and more!
