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.

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 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 think this is my issue, I love an earnest gift guide but I'm jaded by all the ones with paid product placements 😩

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!

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!
