it only took a few for me to realise I wasn't going to buy anything mentioned bc a) most were out of my budget and b) I just don't need all the stuff they're talking about. had to press pause on consumerism like 3 guides in.
I’ve found some online gift guides to her super helpful in the past - like if I’m buying for my stepdad who is a handyman (I know next to nothing about tools/DIY) - they can be useful. But agree that they’ve become too everywhere right now that their specialness wears thin.

So true, I love a gift guide for certain, difficult-to-shop-for people in my life.
Everyone is over gift guides 😭 (except me)
Honestly SO over gift guides. They're giving affiliate code pushing :( Shop Rat's exploration of how influencers make money off gift guides was super interesting to read!! https://emiliapetrarca.substack.com/p/heres-what-happens-when-you-buy-something
Ooh yes I saw that! So interesting!!
