Good morning! We arrived in Utah yesterday to celebrate Thanksgiving and my mom’s 70th birthday this week so we’re looking forward to that!
In the past, I’ve released my gift guides one at a time, over a few weeks leading up to the holidays. But since the Cyber sales are starting so early and the shopping season is shorter this year, I’m releasing them in one master guide. Today I’m sharing gift ideas for nearly everyone on your list!
This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. You can read my full disclosure policy here.
The following gift guides are in no particular order. I’ve got a few really random ones in here, but lots of fun ideas! I’m obviously not an expert on kid’s gifts so those aren’t included. but I do have some family gift ideas included! I’ve also included links to multiple stores for various items so you can shop for the best prices, or alternatives in other situations. Let’s jump into the ideas.

We’ve found the best gift we can give our cats is an empty shipping box or some treats here and there. So here’s a few dog gift ideas with a few for cats sprinkled in!

My friend is also going to let me test the Oura Smart Ring & Sleep Tracker so I can try it before I buy to see if I’d like it! Sounds like you get a lot of great data from it.
