It’s much better to give than to receive. But it’s also much harder to give than to receive. People can be so difficult to shop for that the whole experience can be downright anxiety-inducing. There’s just so much pressure. Well, we’re here to tell you that you can stop worrying and just relax; embrace the gift-giving season with a clear mind and a full heart (and also, hopefully, a similarly full bank account), because we’ve taken on the burden of picking out dozens of things for you to buy for every conceivable person in your life. Know someone who is obsessed with health and is always going on and on about how ballet barre has changed her life? We’ve got it figured out. Is there a person in your life who has the kind of aesthetic sensibility that requires a gift-giver to be ultra-careful before splurging on anything lest it just be returned a day later? Never fear. We’ve got it covered. In fact, from the lit-lover to the sex freak to the music snob, we’ve taken care of everyone in your life for you this holiday season. You’re welcome.
