EDITOR'S NOTE
You probably read this email’s subject line and thought “Already?” But I can attest that even though October might feel early, it’s stress-relieving to start your holiday shopping now. Which is why we’re sharing our 37 curated gift guides. They include everything from covetable white elephant gifts and stocking stuffers to unique finds for loved ones who feel nearly impossible to shop for. Stay tuned as we share more of the best gifts over the next few weeks.
