Hot Take: Gift shopping for folx for the holidays without conferring with them first is bad. Gifting season is a weird capitalist pattern that results in real anxiety and social pressure.
Show the people you love that you care by gifting your time and attention IMO -- it costs less and feels better for both of y'all than that Kohl's cardigan you were considering.
And if spending money is your love language, that's totally wonderful 💕 maybe consider a charitable donation to a cause your friend cares about on their behalf! It's a great way to show your affection in a non material way and still do a lot of good 💝
