‘Tis the season!

Well, almost.

This year, I’ll be posting a handful of gift guides to help with shopping for everyone on your list. I know, it’s a bit early, but here’s the deal. Gift Guides are much more helpful BEFORE Black Friday, and since Black Friday deals dropped as soon as kids got home from trick or treating this year (EW), I figured I’d get these out for you all.

This gift guide is definitely not for everyone, but it does have all of the Salinas family favorites throughout Will’s first year.

Can you believe he’s almost one?!? I’m not crying, you’re crying.

In full disclosure, I asked Elliot for his help curating this list, and everything on it is something we absolutely loved and would 10/10 recommend. Or it’s Will’s favorite thing (and he’s got a pretty exclusive list of favorite things).
