It probably feels like these weren't going to happen this year - at least that's how I've been feeling. 2018 has been busy, not in the usual "How are you? Oh good, busy" sense, but in the truly all-in, no down-time, all travel, all-the-time sense. My biggest wish for 2019: more time with friends and family.
Still - it's a lucky space to be in, and there's a lot of good work to be done.
To maintain some sanity, I'll be taking a more pared back approach to the guides this year based on what we're giving and hoping to get (warning family: spoilers ahead). So keep your eyes peeled over the next few days for a handful of posts.
Additionally - don't miss my favorite annual do good gift guide from The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, and to help those in California that are still very much in need after the wildfires, this article is a good resource.
In the meantime, here's the index from the last several years, many of these gifts are still available, and when they aren't, the shops that sell them have loads of other great offerings:
2017 Guides
2016 Guides
2015 Guides
2014 Guides
2013 Guides
2012 Guides
2011 Guides
2010 Guides
