Fabulous Shopping! 4 Fun and Beautiful Holiday Gift Guides

Alright Christmas people – it’s time for some fabulous and easy shopping!

Holiday Gift Guide from LifeatBellaTerra.com

Holiday Shopping 2020 – It’s Different

Yes it’s only the middle of October. And I usually hold out until well into November to think about Christmas. But this year is different.

For one thing, it might not be the best time to brave the crowded stores. Plus, we have shipping delays and slim pickings all over the place. So this year, it’s a fabulous idea to plan ahead and order online.

A Little Preview

I’ll be sharing my holiday favorites with you soon, and I’ll definitely include lots of table and decorating ideas. For a sneak peek or two, check out these previous holiday posts.

    Barbara,
    I’m a bit behind in my comments, but thank you for sharing the Holiday Gift Guide with your subscribers. Normally it is way too early for me to think about the holidays, but I am finding low inventories everywhere! And I do believe the delivery companies will be overwhelmed this year. I want to hear more about the little silver sports car!

      HA! Me too! I’ve always wanted one – maybe Santa will come through one day! 🙂 Your shopping guide was perfect, and I know what you mean about it being early this year. But Be Prepared was my Girl Scout motto! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Barbara, thanks for the wonderful gift ideas. I suppose most of my shopping will be one online. However, I did make a couple of gift purchases this week at TJ Maxx. Wishing you a lovely Sunday!
