It’s that time of year where I stress myself out trying to thing of the perfect gifts for my very amazing friends and family. In reality, I don’t think I have much to worried about because 1) I would say I’m an excellent gift giver and 2) none of my friends/family have “gifts” as their love languages [if you do, speak up plz]. Today, I (along with the entire blogging community) am sharing my 2020 gift guides.
I go back and forth every year on whether or not I should participate on this tradition. Bloggers pushing overconsumption is not something I want to participate in to be honest. But! The reality of the situation is that a lot of people do shop at this time. I think you can get some of the best deals on Black Friday and cyber week especially on electronics and other big ticket items.
I also think these 2020 gift guides can give some major inspiration for building your own Christmas wish list. I’ve decided to split my list up by prices and I’ve included several eco-friendly/sustainable brands, POC-owned brands, and small businesses. This post does contain affiliate links and this time of year is usually when I make the most off of affiliate commission. I appreciate when you shop through my links and I’m sure many of the other bloggers you follow appreciate it too! The really nice thing is that it comes at no extra cost to you.
Tips for Shopping the 2020 Gift Guides
When it comes to online shopping [which I definitely recommend in wake of COVID-19], you need to download the Rakuten or Honey desktop apps. They both offer cash back on online purchases from supporter retailers. They also share insider coupons for all of your favorite retailers.
Students! Make sure you check what sites will give you a student discount on your purchases. H&M, public goods, and ASOS are great about this. If you decided to shop Bloomscape, use my referral link for 20% off your purchase of $100 or more.
