Holiday Shopping Inspiration

How’s your holiday shopping coming along? I haven’t bought anything yet, and somehow it’s already December 6th. I keep seeing warnings like “ONLY 3 days left to place your order to get it by Christmas Eve,” so apparently I need to get going. In case you need some holiday shopping inspiration today, here is my growing list of favorite places to shop…
