13: Your Intentional Holiday Gift Guide with Jessalyn Fink

This is not your typical gift guide- this is an episode entirely focused on how to give gifts intentionally- how to use your specific gifts and talents to give good gifts, and how to think about others through the entire gift giving process, including shopping for that gift.  You won't find ideas of dozens of new companies to shop from, but you'll be inspired to think twice about the way you give gifts this season, and how you can put your creativity into the gift giving process in a new way. 

My friend Jessalyn is an expert gift giver. She's that person that always gives an intentional gift or writes a thoughtful note when you aren't expecting it but when you most need it. And this episode is full of golden advice for how you can do that for the people you love this season.  What you'll hear:

• Thoughts on the pressure of "keeping up" with giving gifts to a big long list of people during the holidays. 
• Different gift giving methods for Christmas morning (and how to walk towards less gifts and less overwhelm on Christmas morning)
• Inspiration in creating homemade gifts and giving experience-themed gifts
• What Jessalyn and Desirae have on their wish lists this year
• Questions to ask yourself to help you be intentional with your buying this season. 
• A discussion on gift giving all year long, and gift giving as a love language

Things we mentioned:

• Buy Nothing
• The Unshopping List (this is the only place I could find this)
• Toddler Discovery Tower
• The Podcast Merch! How you can support the podcast through your gift buying!
• Etsy shop (also where you can find the podcast merch)
