Eclectic Gifts for Bookish Besties

and foodie besties and beauty besties and DIY besties

On Wednesday, I shared a small gift guide for 0-4 year olds. Today, it’s the grown-ups’ turn! I’m sharing ten twelve gifts I would buy for a friend (or myself), three gifts my husband or dad or brother would love, and four homemade gifts to make and treasure. I hope you find a budget-friendly option for yourself or a loved one on this list.
