TheFW’s Offbeat Holiday Gift Guide
Even though we're huge fans of Christmas, the holiday season can be super stressful at times. This is particularly true when it comes to buying presents. Most people are difficult to shop for, which puts tons of pressure on us to try and decode their present preference. Will our friend like that potpourri centerpiece we're re-gifting from grandma? Probably not. What about the awful Christmas sweater in the back of our closet that still has the tag on it? We'll give that a big N-O.
Fortunately, we've got you covered when it comes to finding that perfectly quirky, weird and hilarious gift for your family and friends. You can also just go our suggested route and keep this stuff for yourself.
