It’s my annual 12 Days of Gift Guides …. and I added a bonus 13th guide for Taylor Swift fans!

With seven children, ranging from ages 6-21, I have an in house focus group. I’ve polled each one of my children, I’ve researched the reviews on Consumer Reports and I’ve even cross-referenced my guides with Oprah’s reviews. Here are the my picks for the best of the best for 2023.. and two contributing COLLEGE GIRL AND BOY gift guides from my college daughter, @GraceCPorter. Note that the hyperlink will direct you to each category list where you will find links plus MORE GIFT IDEAS NOT PICTURED.
