The Holiday season is upon us even if most of us aren’t ready for it. No matter what holiday you celebrate this time of year, it seems like we are all rushing around without enough time for anything, let alone shopping for our loved ones. If you are like me you don’t just want to give those special people in your life a gift card; gift giving has to have a little meaning behind it. Unfortunately, sometimes the ideas just aren’t there so it’s always nice to have some help.
The following “cheat sheet” is a compilation of bloggers and sites I have started following and really enjoy, I hope that something that they found important enough to put on their gift guide could be that exciting gift for that special someone in your life.

o She also has two adorable dogs and a cat which grace her blog regularly!
