Happy happy holidays! Thanksgiving is in less than a week and I feel like I am WAY behind with everything holiday related. I barely know what I’ll be doing for Thanksgiving and I am still in full shopping mode for December. I am guessing you probably are as well so let’s hope this gift guide can come in handy for just that!

This year’s guide is full of some delicious and fun items, and for the FIRST year ever I’ve partnered with some great companies to offer you discounts on your orders. You’ll see those discounts identified on the guide in red; all of them available using code CCHolidays2016 (through December 31st 2016). Want to buy the items? You can find the links by hovering over the images in the PDF (link directly below), or in the outline below the image. Happy Shopping!
