The New-Era Gift Guide: 39 Items That Are 100% Relevant in 2020
We made it, folks (almost)—we're about 85% through 2020. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, what a doozy this year has been. But now it's time to cheer each other up with some holiday season gifting. Since this year is unlike any other, the gifts that people need and want aren't quite the norm either. Sure, some things like candles and cozy socks will always be present and accounted for on the gift guide circuit, but never before have I been so excited to include puzzles, hand sanitizer, and chic cleaning supplies as I am this year.
In selecting items for this new-era gift guide, I made a concerted effort to include options at a variety of price points (although most are pretty low) and for a variety of people you may be shopping for. You may even find a gift or two to treat yourself to, because you deserve it. But whatever your reason for scrolling, I hope you enjoy shopping it as much as I enjoyed curating it. Let's kick things off, shall we?
Part two of this gift could be some refills of the hand sanitizer.
