It’s hard to believe the 2020 holidays are fast approaching. What’s even crazier is that most of us won’t be celebrating the way we usually do.
You might be finding it hard to muster any excitement for the 2020 holidays given that we are in the middle of a pandemic. But there are still ways we can bring joy to this season, for our loved ones and ourselves.
For starters, add some holiday cheer to your life with holiday décor. I say, go all out!
Why not, right?
If we are going to be mostly stuck at home, we might as well add festive décor that brings us joy every time we look around.
Another way to bring joy is by giving gifts to our loved ones. Even if you can’t spend the 2020 holidays with your family and friends, you can still surprise them with a fun and unique gift.
In this post, I’m sharing a few different gift guides for the 2020 Holidays, and just in time to take advantage of Black Friday deals. Keep reading for fun and unique gift ideas for everyone in your life, from the hostess and the wellness junkie to the foodie or the traveler. I’ve got you covered!
And just a reminder here – I know that for some of you it’s been a very hard year financially. If that’s the case, don’t stress about sending gifts. Send a handwritten card or offer your time to help out with something. Gifts do not need to be of monetary value to have meaning, and most importantly, remember that it’s the thought that counts!
