HOT 5 - 12/4/23
Hey Hot Friends,
Now that the dust has settled on Small Business Saturday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday, I want to share the HOT Holiday Gift Guide! Is it just me, or have holiday gift guides quadrupled over the last few years? Every media outlet releases at least one, and many keep them coming until Xmas! The HOT Guide is short and sweet and is grouped by five gift ideas under five categories. The first category consists of gifts from the House of Terrance that I know women on your list would love to receive. This holiday season I have some chic new items: just-added cool metal jewelry, one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry finds, stunning scarves that give back, and so much more. The other recommendations I've sourced by digging into a million gift guides so you don't have to!
1. For Her From HOT!
2. Beauty Is
3. For Home
4. Kids of All Ages
5. For Him
Happy gifting!
Terry xoxo
