Well, hello there! REAL TALK: You have ONLY TWO weekends left before Christmas. YEAH. So, you better get that last minute holiday shopping ball rolling. And we’re here to help. Below you’ll find a hand picked, mood board inspired selection of items your friends and family would be FOOLS not to love (SIDE NOTE: FEEL FREE TO GIVE THEM MOST OF THESE YEAR ROUND, and not just when you’re obligated to), all locally purchasable here in DC (and a lot locally made, even). And-New Yorkers and Chicago peeps-99% of this is orderable too, don’t worry.
This year, we got SO MANY great things to share, that we will be running this edition of BEST GIFT GUIDE EVER in installments.
Today: Something for the ladies in your life. Because, you know, LADIES FIRST. (scroll to the bottom for a full shopping guide / addresses / web destinations and all)
