This year, its all about the hygge – a.k.a: the Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness. Though the pandemic has been anything but “cozy”, unexpected lockdowns and strict social distancing rules have forced everyone to get comfortable with staying at home.
To say we’re upset by this would be a giant lie, since cozy is the. vibe. we’re craving for Christmas. So, if celebrating with your friend and family bubble is more than enough for you to feel content this holiday, then this gift guide is for you (or them! Whomever!).
OK! Now, happy shopping.
