YOU'RE WELCOME The ultimate Christmas gift guide if you’ve still not got your shit together

BY: Kartya Vucetic

We listen and we don’t judge. I’ll go first. Despite Christmas being just over 10 days away, I do not have my shit together. There, I said it. I live to tell the tale, and we move on.
And funnily enough, I have my sneaking suspicions that I’m not the only one who’s been feeling a little pressed for time this month when it comes to some good ol’ fashioned Chrissy shopping. Add large extended families and a Friendsmas Secret Santa into the mix? Feelings of overwhelm are at an all time high.
That’s where I come in. Because despite not personally having gone through the motions as to whose made my naughty and nice list this year, I certainly have the ability to lecture you all. Whether it be your brother who just moved into a sharehouse and is still trying to figure out how to fry an egg, or your uber cool friend who just finished their architecture degree, we’ve got something for everyone.
Ok, all set? Here’s your ultimate Christmas gift guide if you’ve still not got your shit together this December.
