Giftflation is here. Prices for go-to gifts such as boxes of chocolates or the latest iPhone will be higher this year than last thanks to rising tariffs and inflation. And while consumers are anxious about the economy, they are still expected to break spending records by shelling out more than $1 trillion on holiday shopping. We’ll talk about your gift plans and hear tips from scouring craft fairs, to searching out meaningful finds from small businesses to going the  no-buy route such as gifting free babysitting or experiences.

Guests:

Amanda Mull, columnist, Bloomberg

Taylar Hagan-Colyar, founder, Sip Shop Eat!

Sarahjane Bernhisel, illustrator; co-founder, Bay Made
