Gift guides
Gifts are easy on your own and surprisingly hard in a group. These are the problems that come up every time: duplicates, budgets nobody stated out loud, the expensive thing everyone assumed somebody else would buy, and the list written in a panic four days before.
Some guides link to products at retailers. Some of those are paid links, and each one is marked. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
