Some people have no problem telling you exactly what they want for Christmas, while others are a little more difficult to shop for (especially in the beginning stages of a new relationship!). So whether you’re in a long-term relationship, the DTR phase, or an open relash — we’ve got you covered with our holiday gift guide!
