Leaves changing colors, a brisk chill in the air, tights under skirts and tall black boots — fall is coming. With the holidays on the horizon and Thanksgiving being the first to greet us, it is only fitting that I’ve carefully curated a guide for all of your gifting needs. Between roasting the turkey, sauteeing the green beans and popping the bubbly, who has the time to think about gifts? I’ve got you covered! For friends, family and the host of the party, show your gratitude with these goodies.
