Cheer, cheer for the happiest time of the year… the holidays are finally here! When this festive time approaches and we are busy researching and testing product for our holiday gift guides, we work hard to be mindful of what we take. Not only are we cognizant of the brands sending their products out for review and the cost associated, but the impact on the environment too. We also always try to work with brands we believe in, rather than moving onto something new, just because. If we think something is truly great… it deserves our continued attention! And if we find something supercalifragilisticexpialidocious throughout the year or while doing research, it will surely make the list! We spend ample time thinking about items that will last, have a positive impact on the well-being of individuals and the environment, and offer giftees something special, they don’t already possess! This year, we worked with brands that specifically had something to offer all genders to help avoid additional shipping fees to the consumer and help reduce carbon emissions for the planet, with one box and shipment for multiple people. We also broke the categories into different age groups, Gen Z with more techie-type items and Millenials and beyond with a bit more pricey selections. However, one could shop from either guide and find something for someone from teen to adult and a couple of brands even have gift options for children. So without further adieu… go on and get shopping!
