The Weekly Write-Up #12
The Ultimate Gift Guide 2022
In this newsletter…
Christmas is coming up and with that, I wanted to provide my readers with a gift guide. In this newsletter, I have featured tons of gifts for people of every age! These are gifts that I know your recipient would love, and as a bonus, almost all of them are on sale!
In the ‘Something I Watched’ section, I will discuss book series to buy. These are sorted by age of your recipient.
In the ‘Something I Watched’ section, I will display some TVs, gifts for gamers (because that counts), and some movies to buy!
‘Tech Thoughts’ is pretty self-explanatory. I will talk about tech to buy for your recipient. While somewhat pricey, there are some great deals here.
Finally, in the ‘Wild Card’ I will give you some gift ideas for white elephant gift exchanges and gifts for the home and kitchen.
Also, while this newsletter may seem like a break for me, this one actually took a VERY long time to write. With that being said, please take some time to check some of these things out. Note: I DO NOT receive any compensation for these recommendations (hopefully in the future).
