The Internet’s Favorite Gifts to Give This Year
This year’s changed everything. On a very minor scale, that includes what you’ve been searching for on the Internet. Think: extra cozy clothing, tools to kickstart your new bread-making hobby, and any form of entertainment that doesn’t necessarily include binging TV (although who can blame you?). It’s not surprising then that many of the Internet’s most favorite gifts this year exude a feeling of comfort or happiness from right in your own home, as well as creative ways to spend quality time with loved ones. That’s what the holidays are all about anyway. Below, shop gifts that consist of some of the web's more searched-for items.
