It’s time to warm up those online shopping fingers! We are kicking off our 1st annual Holiday Gift Guide featuring 12 days of Christmas gift-giving ideas for that special sober someone on your list. Sober Curator Pro Tip: It’s ok if you put yourself on that list too!

We’re starting early this year because let’s face it, it’s going to be a smart idea to do your online shopping early. 2020 has been the year of uncertainty. Hopefully, you’ve been following along with our November Gratitude Month Challenge. If you’ve been practicing gratitude every day, then you are probably already feeling more centered, more balanced, and more at peace.

The holidays are the time to show the people in our lives our gratitude by the act of gift-giving. We’ve curated 12 Days, starting on November 16th and going through December 1st, with 12 categories of gift ideas that feature 12 ideas for each day.

What can we say? We love the number twelve. (Insert 12 step jokes here). From Seattle? Then we know how much you love the number 12. To kick off our shopping #addtocart skills, we start with the ever-popular Advent Calendar.

Advent Calendar #1: National Lampoons Christmas Vacation Advent House Calendar
