2015 Holiday Gift Guide Part II

As promised, the second installment of my holiday gift guide. Just a small nudge to help you shop local this holiday season. Yesterday it was all about the kiddos (if you missed yesterday’s post you can find it here), and today I’m honoring the women! I’ll save the long-winded intro and just get down and dirty. Without further ado…the 2015 Holiday Gift Guide…for Women…
