IT’S TIME for the Well Plated 2019 Holiday Gift Guide! After much careful thought and consideration, this list has my favorite items for everyone on your list. Whether you’ve been shopping for months (teach me your ways), or if this is your first dive into the holiday shopping game, I hope these ideas inspire you and give you a head start on planning. As someone who’s waited until the last minute, I’ve learned that it’s much better to order ahead so that you aren’t rushing around at the last minute, madly looking for items that are in stock. I’ve divided the list into helpful categories. You’ll find gifts for gals, for guys, for kitchen lovers, and even for your furry friends too!
