The winter holidays are fast approaching, and with them, that ever-present question: “What gifts should I get for people?” Sure, it’s easy just to grab a quick gift card while you’re getting your morning coffee, but that lacks the personal touch that makes gift giving (and receiving) so much fun!
We all know that the ideal gift will be fun and unexpected, something that will get used and make the giftee feel appreciated and thought of. But we also know that coming up with gifts that fit that bill is confounding and time-consuming, and trying to do it on your own can feel overwhelming.
That’s where this holiday gift-giving guide comes in. Here you’ll find local, sustainable, and unique gifts for everyone on your list. The categories will help you easily tailor your gift to the recipient, allowing you to pick a thoughtful gift in record time. So without further ado, we present The Refill Shoppe’s 2023 Holiday Gift Guide to you!
