Hey, it’s Gift Girl here. The holidays are right around the corner and if you’re anything like me, you’re in full search mode for gifts. While I love a good building set, leather gloves, the latest surprise doll, or a scarf, those things can feel typical or even expected. I try every year to find thoughtful, unique, surprising but most of all different gifts, so give your tired, dry, and blurry internet-eyes a rest and check these out. Here is this year’s round-up of the most interesting gifts for the whole family. Many of these I own or have gifted, and others have come recommended from some of my besties. I think you and your loved ones are going to love’em.
