When it comes to Christmas everyone has a different degree of love for the festive season. No matter where you fall on the scale of the Grinch to Buddy aka Will Ferrell in Elf, there’s no denying gift shopping can send even the cheeriest of holiday goers a little mad.
Fighting the crowds and finding the right gift is hard enough for our closest family and friends. And then comes the hard-to-buy-for loved ones and acquaintances.
You know the ones; the in-laws (mothers, brothers, loved and not-so-loved), teachers, long-term partners and especially DADS.
Just the thought is giving us stress-induced hives.
Consider the below the calamine lotion of gift guides, here to spark genius ideas and solve your gift-giving woes.
