So, it’s a little hard to believe, but apparently it’s Christmastime again already. I’ll be honest and admit that last year Christmas cheer got me into debt, so this year I’m going to try to rein the plastic in a bit so that I’m not still paying for the joy of giving in June. That doesn’t mean, however, that I plan on giving less great gifts than I usually do (and yes, I give great gifts, trust me), it just means that I need to be a little more resourceful than automatically turning my browser to Mossonline when it comes to the task of present-hunting. This brings me to Mighty Goods, which the more time I spend perusing it, the more I appreciate for its good taste and no nonsense.
Mighty Goods is a straightforward, easy-to-use shopping blog that posts everything from sweaters to cupcake holders to planters to calendars and everything in between. For gift-giving purposes, there are convenient links to gift categories for men, women and kids, as well as gadgets, novelties, food and drink, home, media and body. For those of you who are really having creative gift-giving blockages, there’s a stocking stuffer guide; and for those like myself who need to keep an eye on the purse strings, there’s a budget gift guide.
What I love about this site is that it points things out to you that you probably wouldn’t think of on your own. It gently leads you beyond the realm of picture frames and scarves and into the realm of a Card Society Membership ($140), which sends its lucky cardholders two one-of-a-kind, handmade cards a month for a year, or a Campfire Candle Holder ($19). Scrolling through Mighty Goods, finding the perfect gift for the people in your life suddenly becomes a slightly less daunting task. And as Christmas fast approaches, the pressure is on.
