Finding the perfect present for everyone on your list is probably at the top of your
mind right now — and maybe even a source of stress. That’s why our editors and
experts worked so hard to pack this issue of Good Housekeeping with gift ideas for
everyone from your mother-in-law to your hairdresser to your best friend to the kids.
There are even some perfect presents for your own list! (I’d be thrilled if someone
surprised me with the long-sleeved ice-blue sequin top on page 26. )
Hopefully these carefully curated holiday finds, starting with a gorgeous hostess
favor for only $3 (page 40), will brighten your holiday and lighten your load. Our
bonus treat to you: pages and pages of tasty recipes and dazzling decorating ideas
to help you make sure there’ll be no place like your home for the holidays.
Of course we wish you and your family the best for the season (complete with
perfectly flooded cookies, page 72) — but the real magic comes from giving
more than you get! We’d love to inspire you to give the gift of kindness. Our
GH Humanitarian Seal star WE Charity is an organization dedicated to making
doing good, doable. Started by two brothers when they were just teenagers, its
mission is to provide opportunities for kids and families to learn how to be change
makers in their own communities and beyond.
We’re excited to invite all our readers to get involved with a GH x WE initiative
this season: Kind Cycle 2020. As part of this campaign, we (and WE) challenge
each of you to commit to doing five acts of kindness — and get your friends and
family to support you (turn the page for the easy details). If you and everyone
else in GH’s audience got on board, that would mean over 200 million extra acts
of kindness in our world!
