Two avid gift givers, Stacy and her behind-the-scenes right hand, Lauren, get real about Stacy’s Gift Well Guide and what gifting even means this year. Instead of endless lists and over-the-top hauls, this episode explores mindful giving, shifting values, and how community, creativity, and intention can make the season meaningful without draining your budget (or your joy). They talk hobbies, local makers, thoughtful experiences, budget-friendly ideas, and the real conversations many of us are having about spending less and connecting more.
