Never miss a story
It's finally chilly out, and no one needs to talk about pumpkin spice lattes for at least another nine months. Allow us to make the final challenge of an already horrible calendar year marginally easier for you with this list of perfect, thoughtful holiday gifts uniquely selected to make everyone you care about feel forever cherished and adored. We've included all manner of needful things, from trapeze classes for your favorite daredevil to Serbian liquor for your inner demons. These are sincere suggestions (even the blow gun!). We would buy it all for ourselves if you disabled AdBlock!
