The $20 Little Luxury That Shoppers Are Buying 2 at a Time (It’s the Perfect Gift!)
There’s no satisfaction quite like finally finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list. It takes time and dedication just to shop for them, but trying to hand-deliver them, too? Well, sometimes, that can be near impossible — especially around the holidays.
For all the times when you can’t hand-deliver gifts in person, luckily, there are plenty of thoughtful presents that can be gift wrapped and shipped straight to a loved one’s door. Or you can get them sent to yourself so you can pop it into a box of your own.
No matter how the gift arrives, there’s no surprise more pleasant than getting an unexpected delivery during the holidays and these 28 gifts ahead are pure delight.
