Admit it: most of the excitement around holiday shopping involves what you’re going to get yourself. And sometimes, you go overboard. Given how insane 2020 has been, it’d be understandable that you’d want to splurge. In fact, we encourage you to do so. That’s why we came up with this big-ticket item holiday gift guide.
Sure, these items are more costly than what you’d usually get for yourself – or anyone else – for the holidays, but they include statement pieces, good investments, and much-deserved rewards for surviving a long, rough year. Go ahead, buy yourself a little – or a lot – of something nice.
