I love a gift guide. I’ve gotten several from people I follow and I haven’t bought anything from any of them. It’s possible to look at pretty things without bringing them into your house. Thanks for linking the ones you did. It’s going to be a cold, rainy day here so it’s more coffee and pretty things for me.
I love it when someone had tried a product, loves it & recommends it. Do I buy stuff I don’t need? Sure, but doing it less & less.
Then there’s the influencers who shill thing after thing after thing. That’s exhausting. Plus, no one wants or needs a home full of cheap Amazon stuff, Bezos is awful & doesn’t need more money.
I love gift guides! Even more, I love your writing. To date, I haven't made enough time for reading on Substack BUT every time I have read your posts in the last year, I have experienced a distinct relief--feeling more human, more accepted, more connected.
Regardless of the topic, your writing voice is a thought-provoking, heart-stirring lighthouse. THANK YOU for sharing your work!

Yes! Such a good point, Annette. It's possible to just look at pretty things and not buy them. Stay warm and dry, and enjoy the links!

I think this is my issue, I love an earnest gift guide but I'm jaded by all the ones with paid product placements 😩
Dacy! Hiiiii. Yes, 100% same.

You’re so welcome. Very happy to support your work! 🥰

I love gift guides! Can't wait to dive into your links!
Thank you! 😘
I love well done ones! Especially when they are hyper-specific and well-curated.
Also, I like to see what other people think are good gifts because I'm nosy!
Long live the gift guide! And thanks for sharing mine.
Of course! I’m buying that Quince duvet because of you!
