We are currently in the midst of our busiest season of the year. Meals need to be planned, groceries bought, flights booked, and bags packed. But what I’m trying to say here is, don’t sweat the small things, specifically the small gifts. I’m a deliberate gift giver and refuse to open anything my loved one doesn’t want, but I’m starting to learn that sometimes it’s not that serious. You don’t have to give the dinner party host an ornately decorated gift basket filled with their top five favorite items of all time (that’s what I said to myself while frantically running around the mall 30 minutes before the party started. Tweet inside). The holiday season can be stressful, so instead of buying something big, choose these easy and thoughtful gifts. Cute and cozy pieces like cashmere socks and silky pajamas, luxurious accessories like oxblood cardholders and Jenny Kane belts, innovative beauty tools and our editors’ favorite fragrances. To help you focus on the big picture this holiday season, purchase a “small” gift below.
