Ah, Black Friday will be here before you know it!

In the meantime, can you resist the urge to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving? I can. Because I love BLUE VELVET PUMPKINS on the dining room table. Baby Jesus can wait a couple more weeks…

Anyway, we all know SHOPPING is the reason for the season. So I’ve been doing a little research for you. To help you navigate the gift-giving options. That way you can git-R-done pronto and actually enjoy the Christmas season whenever you do start decking the halls.

For your convenience, I’ve included affiliate links. Because we all know you’re in a shopping mood. Read my Disclaimer to learn more.

2. Kitchen and home. Lots of fun home goods and kitchen gadgets are marked down.

3. Toys! Amazon has SO MANY deals on STEAM-oriented toys. May the sciency-techno-engineering-artsy-mathaletes unite!

4. Baby stuff. Gift ideas for the pre-STEAM kiddos. So you can help stock the nursery with diapers and bottle warmers and cutie patootie holiday outfits.

5. Women’s fashion. Lots of clothes and jewelry are on sale. Because you need a new necklace for your next Zoom call. Or more yoga pants. Also, if you don’t care about thrift, you can shop LUXURY BRANDS.

And, while you’ve got Thanksgiving kinda still on your mind, get yourself some blue velvet pumpkins. You can thank me later.
