The 2020 holiday season is officially here. I’ve curated a list with products I recommend (that I own and/or personally would use) including links and any active discount codes from brands that I’m affiliated with. One thing that I always keep in mind when shopping for gifts is functionality. I don’t mind paying a little bit to get items from brands I trust and know that they are thoughtfully designed, consciously made from great materials. And lastly, they have to last!
Note: If you choose to purchase something using links in this blog post, I will earn a small referral commission. Thank you for supporting me, your favorite blogger. Please shop within your means and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

- NIKE also has a lot of neat activewear/clothing that I’ve discovered and excited to try out more. Again, it’s another popular brand, so I feel a little more safe when it comes to gifting these things to people.
