♥♥♥ 2019 Holiday Gift Guide ♥♥♥

This year, instead of each person in our immediate family giving and receiving gifts, we decided to mix things up and do a secret santa gift exchange instead! Each person chose one person to get a gift for (up to $100), one person to fill a stocking for (up to $50) and each of our pets is also exchanging gifts! Check out our gift ideas are below.

"I always try to get my shopping done this weekend during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales -- a little ahead of the curve but I love having everything checked off my list nice and early." ♥, Amanda
