hey all!
welcome to macarons and must haves or welcome back! many of you may know that i have been blogging for four years already!! (wow) and i’ve been making gift guides for the past 2 of these years! its been amazing to share with you guys things to buy for the special people in your lives. i’ve come so far in my gift guides and i have to say that i think i’ve outdone myself this year. i’ve been working on these guides for a few weeks by now (which seems like nothing to you probably but it actually means that i’ve had a full editorial calendar and plan since SEPTEMBER, which seems a little strange i’ll give you that, but this year i really wanted to make sure all the gift guides were up and the best quality they could be so i’ve been curating all of my personal suggestions and i think i’ve gotten it perfect by now!
as always, a note to all my readers – these gift guides do not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it and unless noted: i do not own it. all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product.
so without further ado:
the world traveler
do you have a friend who dreams of traveling the globe? or one that already does? one that travels for business? one that travel for pleasure? this is the perfect guide for them!

slip sleepmask for beauty sleep / ugg blanket road trip set / longchamp le pliage club tote bag / s’well travel mug / apple airpods / nordstrom chevron spinner carry on suitcase / fjallraven kanken toiletry bag / fjallraven backpack / 111 places in san francisco that you must not miss / away ‘the mini’ / scratch off map
i hope that i found some stuff that y’all hadn’t thought of yet!
enjoy all & happy shopping
