The good news is that I survived Thanksgiving and a weekend away at an isolated cabin in the woods with my family and no internet. No, I did not commit homicide or even attempt to throw myself into the frozen lake, for which I would like to thank Xanax and wine.
The bad news is that it's December 2nd, which means that Hanukkah starts in only 14 days, and that there are only 23 days before Christmas.
Commence panicking.
As I'm sure you've probably already surmised, I'm not one of those super organized, plan ahead type of Moms who have all of their holiday gifts purchased and wrapped before Halloween. I'm more of what could be described as a "thank goodness for Amazon Prime because I can't tell my kids that Santa Claus forgot to stop by here'" type of Moms. While I can never seem to manage to get my gifts purchased before the very last minute, I somehow find plenty of time to cruise the interwebs searching for great things to give my loved ones. This year I've found some pretty groovy items of which, if you follow me on Pinterest, you already got a sneak peek.
In the hopes that I can help you, dear readers, become the organized, planned ahead person I aspire to be, I've put together a gift guide that's sure to have something perfect for almost everyone on your list.
