It’s December, and while holiday decorations exploded all over every retail establishment somewhere around Halloween, now is when the pressure really sets in. ‘Tis the season of gifting, of wish lists and dwindling bank accounts. Everyone takes to this process differently. Zelda is a compulsive gifter: Nothing makes her happier than browsing the boutiques (or, let’s be real, the internets, because baby, it’s cold outside) and finding the perfect something for each person in her life. Scout, on the other hand, often finds herself without inspiration or funds come December 24th, finally collapsing in a giant ball of stress and resorting, once again, to baked goods and gift cards. Luckily for you all, we’re on top of our shit this year, and so this week we present to you the Official Zelda & Scout Holiday Gift Guide. There’s something on here for everyone — from the friend who always wants to get cocktails to the one who doesn’t leave her living room if she can help it. And hey, if you don’t see something for that certain impossible-to-shop-for someone on this list, don’t sweat it: Everyone loves baked goods and cash.
Today, our picks are Dixie-steeped, perfect for all the Southerners in your life, from sassy to classy.
Happy shopping, y’all!
