Are you like me? I mean every year I get so excited for the holiday season, but then I immediately start stressing about gift choices. I love surprises, so unexpectedly cool gifts make my heart sing. That’s not just receiving, but giving as well. Giving something that is not only unique, but personal and useful is my goal each year. But I’ve realized, it is SO hard to find the perfect gift for someone without asking them a million questions about their decor taste, personal style, or wants, and that’s just annoying for both of us. It misses the surprise factor that I desire so much. While I do a lot of my shopping online, it is also where I get a lot go my great ideas. The Hip Mama in your life might be your best friend, sister, wife, or even an auntie. Heck, maybe it is you (if so, immediately forward this list to your husband). So… here is my holiday gift to you: a complete list of surprising, unique gifts for the Hip Mama!
