I can’t believe that it’s already mid-November and Thanksgiving will be here in the blink of an eye. Inevitably you know what that means? I’m already behind! I’m a planner by nature and can’t help it and I like to have things planned well in advance when it comes to the holidays.

I start making a general list of gift ideas for loved ones in early November so that I have time to find something that is great for everyone. My mom will still ask me for some ideas for Christmas and my birthday (that’s a week later) so I also try to think about things I’ll actually care about and will remember and cherish from my family. I’ve started working on a few Pinterest boards for a fun project with that team for holiday gift giving, but it’s got me already on the hunt!

I’ve pulled 15 of my early favorite picks for gifts. What are you putting on your list for family and friends this year?
