Find Some Deals
Approaching the holiday season means a lot of things. Planning family get togethers, intense trips to the grocery store, and shopping for gifts. But before you can buy those gifts you have to first figure out what everyone wants, easier said than done. And the pressure of premature buying with Black Friday deals doesn’t do well to calm the nerves. If you need help locating deals, or just need inspiration on where to start, here’s some resources to add to your gift-giving toolbox.
Weighted Blankets
Weighted blankets are a great sensory tool that doesn’t have to stay at home. Travelling with these or smaller stuffed animals can add comfort to new experiences.

Even if you do happen to miss Black Friday, Small Business Saturday or even Cyber Monday a lot of these items will be on sale throughout all of November, so be on the lookout for those red price tags. Also, our list is not comprehensive, simply a place to start. Keep the person you’re buying for in mind and ask them what they would like even if the list they give you seems non-typical, it means a lot more to give a gift they’ll appreciate.
