venturing east gift guide | 2019
The heat is cranked in the holiday shopping world. Black Friday always involves delicious deals and top-notch gift-buying opportunities, whether in the cyber world or the real world. The deals and gimmicks can be brutal to interpret, though, particularly when taking inventory of what loved ones actually NEED as opposed to merely victimizing oneself with percentage discounts on stuff the receivers may or may not want. Thankfully, the Venturing East Gift Guide was curated with taste, usefulness, and specificity in mind: 50+ gifts for the athletically-inclined, the slow living advocate, and the multifaceted unicorn amongst us. Some of these items I own and adore myself, many I wish I owned.
Note: None of these are affiliate links and I do not get a commission from mentioning brands by name – I just love their product, or the concept they’ve developed!
