First of all, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re all spending the day with family or friends, and have found something to be grateful for. We’re spending the week in San Francisco as a family, and I’m feeling so grateful for my three (soon to be four!) wonderful boys. I’m also so grateful for all of you amazing readers that make this blog possible and allow me to have a creative outfit and share the things I’m so passionate about. So thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now continuing with Merrick’s Guide to the Holidays! During the holidays, I love shopping for my friends. It’s a bit of a challenge, since everyone has different styles and tastes, but I love coming up with the perfect gift that I know they’ll absolutely love. I had so much fun putting together this gift guide, because I chose only things I knew I would love receiving, so it’s filled with some of my favorite things and you’ll for sure be able to find something for your friends in this gift guide!

I also know how expensive it can get to buy something for all of your friends, so I’ve kept all of these gifts (except for one or two) under $50, and some as low as $5, so you can shop for everyone!
