H e l l o!
Up on the blog this week, I'm featuring my Holiday Gift Guide. We keep hearing to shop early, "Order your Christmas presents now," UPS chief says amid supply chain drag. Supply chain problems that stymied retailers and clogged U.S. ports this year are expected to continue into 2022 as the COVID-19 Delta variant's effects linger. That means shoppers face potential delays in retailers replenishing everything from video games to clothing — especially during the coming holiday season. So go ahead and shop early this year. But don't worry, if you don't have a clue what to get, I've compiled my favorites for you.
CITY DWELLER | FIRE LOVER

FOR COUPLES
Conventional romance is nice and all, but what about dissecting a trove of true crime clues to suss out a serial killer? Hunt a Killer's murder mystery boxes have a cult following for good reason. (The romantic part comes into play when you set a Sunday aside to drink wine, eat snacks, and solve the mystery together.)
FOR THE GROOMING OBSESSED
The performance package. Proper grooming requires precision engineered tools. Not only does a man's sensitive area require it, but hygiene demands it.

Want to send gifts via mail? FYI, there are Christmas shipping deadlines when it comes to mail carrier. I suggest getting in ahead of these dates based on last year's debacle. Here's the scoop: FedEx Ground Economy's deadline is Dec. 9, Ground Shipping is Dec. 12, and Express Saver is Dec. 21. The FedEx two-day and overnight options are not expected to be affected. As for UPS, the Ground Shipping deadline is Dec. 16, Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air deadlines are Dec. 18, and the 3-Day Select's deadline is Dec. 19. USPS has a deadline for Retail Ground Shipping on Dec. 15, Media Mail on Dec. 16, First Class Mail on Dec. 18, and Priority Mail on Dec. 19. We suggest jotting these down so you remember them in case you want to send a present to a friend or loved one in December.
