If you’re anything like me, your email inbox ends up pretty full during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale week! Retailers are trying to convince you of all the things you NEED to be happy, healthy, and live a FULL life. But here’s the thing, we don’t actually need many things at all. It’s taken me a while, but now I approach holiday sale weeks as an opportunity to steward my finances well and purchase gifts for the people on my list whom I love.
And that was how our team approached planning and preparing the first Cultivate Gift Guide. The first-ever Cultivate Gift Guide is a bit different from your average guide, and we did that on purpose. It’s a curated list of meaningful and useful gifts (starting at $0!) from shops and friends that our team loves and supports–items that are on our personal wish lists or things we love and use each and every day. We’ve also linked to each of their social media pages so you can follow along to see what sales they’ll be offering next week. Our hope is that these gifts help you, and your loved ones, cultivate what matters.
And if you’re anything like me, and you’re stumped everytime someone asks, “What do you want for Christmas this year?”, then the Cultivate Gift Guide might be full of ideas for YOU, too! Me? I’ve already added that walk in love t-shirt pictured to my list 
Inside the Cultivate Gift Guide, you’ll also get a preview of what will be on sale in the Cultivate Shop next Tuesday starting at 10 am ET. My personal favorite? The Write the Word journals! It’s a great time to stock up on holiday gifts for your loved ones! Best part? No coupon codes or door-busting required. We’re kicking our sale off on Tuesday, November 22nd so you can shop ahead of Thanksgiving, and spend the holiday with those you love the most!
I’d love to hear from you: what is the most memorable gift you’ve ever been given? What is your favorite gift you’ve ever given to someone? Leave a comment, and let us know! I’ll choose one commenter to win a Write the Word // Cultivate Gratitude journal on Tuesday, November 22nd.
