If you haven’t looked at your monthly calendar recently, it might be time to do what I did yesterday and find out just how close we are to Thanksgiving and the official beginning of the holiday shopping season: it’s a week from today! Crazy, right? We should have at least another week, but we don’t, and that means that for many of us, it’s time to start thinking subsequent holidays and what we’ll be giving friends and loved ones.
Online shopping is a huge part of our job here, so we’ve had plenty of time to scope out the season’s best offerings and figure out which gifts are best guaranteed to delight their recipients. Below, we’ve assembled nearly two dozen options at a variety of price points, sure to get the gift-buying season off to an inspired start.
