‘Tis a year like no other, and your gifting should reflect what is special this 2020 holiday season. Remember we’ve likely only just passed the halfway mark of this pandemic, so what do the people on your list need to “get through” the next half? Perhaps gifts to invoke laughter, a sense of peace, or a promise that their future shines bright. We gotchyu.
In the spirit of giving your best, we’re happy to share The High *Gift* Guide. Most of the goods are from small, primarily women-founded brands, many won’t get you high, and all are specific to modern self-care – less about long spa days and more about short-term survival. Give like what comes next depends on what comes first. ☮ April
