Yep! It's that time again!
Times get hectic and demands for your time come by the sleigh load during the holiday season, so I am making it easy for you by considering these gifts I came across lately. Most of these are sourced from Atlanta retailers, so if you are in my city, feel good about supporting entrepreneurs of Georgia’s capital. And if they can’t arrive on time for the 25th, just show the receipt or a photo of your purchase assuring it’s on the way. Keep in mind that most of these gifts can be given anytime throughout the year including birthdays, graduations, or whatever the occasion is, ya heard?!
Happy holidays and a prosperous New Year!
