Well, Greenville, we’re not sure how it happened, but in the blink of an eye, the holidays have arrived. Hanukkah starts this week, Christmas is 16 days aways, Kwanzaa starts on Dec. 26, and the general season of giving is well underway. Long story short — we’ve got some shopping to do. 🎁

Here is our curated list of qualitree gift ideas so you can sleigh the holidays.
🎁 Our Editors' picks
Every year since I (Ana) was born, my mom has gotten me a new ornament for my collection to commemorate whatever milestone was important for me that particular year – it’s one of my favorite traditions. Last year, I moved back to Greenville from Milwaukee, WI, so I received this beautiful ornament from Blue House Paperie. This year, I did some shopping at M. Judson Booksellers, Makers Co., The Tack Shop, and Half Moon Outfitters, but I can’t divulge what I bought, because the gift receivers are GVLtoday readers (obviously).

Grace here – this year I’ve got my eyes on some of these beautiful stained glass ornaments of Greenville (past + present) landmarks. And unlike Ana, who is showing me up with all of her Christmas shopping above, I have yet to do much gift shopping. I’ll be using this guide as much as y’all.
🎁 Stocking Stuffers
○ Literally anything from the Makers Co. Indie Craft Parade: Shop Edition. No, seriously anything.

○ A handmade bow tie from A Dapper Sandlapper. (#ProTip – You can also get a matching face mask.)

Your uncle who’s always running a half marathon during the holidays and hits the SRT every Saturday morning:

○ Sponsor a 25 ft. section of the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail in their name or grab the Hincapie Sports Hibernation Kit for cozier cold weather rides. And don’t forget the stocking stuffers from Run In – Nuun Hydration tabs and polarized sunglasses from RUN goodr.

For that new friend that you tell all of your secrets to but you’re not sure if they’re getting you a gift:

○ Get in the holiday spirit with M. Judson holiday cards paired with an Urban Digs Friends Sitcom ornament, because maybe it hasn’t been their day, their week, their month, or even their year.
