Today we’re diving into holiday gifting, the part of the season that somehow feels both magical and mildly panic-inducing. If you’ve ever found yourself wanting to be thoughtful and generous but also staring at a long list feeling totally overwhelmed… same. This episode is your permission slip to take a breath, simplify, and bring the joy back into giving. I’m sharing the tiny tweaks that have genuinely changed the game for me, starting with reframing gift-giving as a simple expression of gratitude, not a quest for perfection.

We’ll talk about getting clear instead of chaotic by creating a gift list (my updated printable is linked!), figuring out what kind of shopper and wrapper you actually are, and scheduling shopping so it stops looming over you. You’ll hear easy, budget-friendly ideas like favorite drinks, homemade treats, recipe cards, and simple group gifts. Plus, I’m walking you through my go-to “default gift” strategy, the thing that saves my sanity every single December.

If you’ve been craving a calmer, more meaningful gifting season, this episode will help you feel organized, inspired, and maybe even excited again. Grab your coffee and let’s make holiday gifting feel manageable, and dare I say, enjoyable.
