Can you already feel the craziness in the air? I’m trying to keep it simple this year. Way simple.
In an attempt to tackle holiday gift giving in the most efficient way possible I am dividing my gift buying into three categories:
{One}
Closest Family + Friends: I will take one day to go shopping for personal, meaningful gifts for the closest few in my circle.
{Two}
Friends + Colleagues: This year I am buying one simple gift for everyone else. I am thinking a glass votive holder and some home-made candies or sweets tied with a pretty ribbon. I will set aside one day to fetch the candles and another for baking and packaging with my two-year old. Done and done!
{Three}
Hostess Gifts: I always find myself racing around at the last-minute to grab a bottle of wine to bring to dinner. This year, I am going to make a list of all of our holiday events and buy my hostess gifts in bulk. I will purchase a variety of simple gifts that we can bring: Nice wine, hand soap, olive oils, etc. I plan to put them in a large basket by our front coat closet so we can literally grab + go!

How will you simplify your gift giving this season?
