I love baking cookies, holiday parties, and finding the perfect gift for people. Probably my favorite thing though is putting our ornaments on the tree. We started picking up ornaments from places we traveled when we first started dating so it's a fun evening of walking down memory lane together.

When you go to the gift exchange and click on your person's name, their mailing address should be listed on the left side. If it's not they will likely update that soon-ish or you can send them a message to please do so.
