Too soon to think about the holidays? Believe me, I agree.

But thanks to the stupid internet, the wide world of retail has turned global. To allow for international shipping times, I thought I’d better get on it early. Last year, I was distressed to learn that some of the items in my 2015 gift guide post arrived too late for the holidays, so I hope you’ll forgive me for rushing the season a bit.

It’s been a very expensive year, and we’re on a pretty tight budget, so this year, the gift guide is, too. These are all cool gifts for $100 or under! Last year, I limited my search to Etsy, but this year, I’m branching out to include other retailers. Some of these items you’ve seen featured in my 2016 posts, others are things you’ve never seen. But whatever the source, I am thrilled to bring them all to you.

Happy pre-pre-holidays!
