The 2023 Holiday Gift Guides
There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting...
I absolutely love putting gift guides together, something about the curation of items really does it for me. I carefully select and bookmark goods all throughout the year and then filter and categorize them into stylized collections that become little works of art. This year I’ve put everything into four personality types to help you find something for all the wonderful people on your list. Keep in mind, the categories are only for fun and, if you look hard enough, you should be able to find a little something for everyone in all of the categories. That’s certainly true for me at least! I mean, these guides are basically my personal wish-lists for old Saint Nick (aka Scott).
In addition to the many material items I have sourced, there are also lots of local service ideas (support your local businesses!), annual subscription options, and charity/donation ideas (your province/state should have a list of registered charities - for British Columbia residents, you can find ours here). I have to say, these are my best holiday guides yet. Please let me know what you think in the comments! Also, a quick reminder: I don’t use affiliate links or make sponsored content, all my recommendations are personal and genuine.
And now, without further ado… The YGL 2023 Holiday Gift Guides!
