Friday! We made it… and the start of a fun holiday weekend! We have the usual on the agenda for the next few days… pumpkin carving, costumes, trick or treating… and I hope you have something fun planned as well…

I’m sharing my gift guides super early this season… much earlier than I ever have. I went back and forth debating whether or not to share them this early, but when I polled people on instagram, 80% said that they were starting their shopping now due to the supply chain issues and would love to see gift guides early, so here they are. 

I always think you know your loved ones that you’re purchasing gifts for best, so if this isn’t applicable to you, simply pass this post. But if you’re needing a little inspo and wanting to get started early this season, then I hope you find the below helpful. I tried to be fairly specific… those who love fitness, the new mom, co-workers/white elephant, teachers, etc… and included small business in many of them (noted in the collages). 

And with that, I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween weekend!
