Before I get started, a few quick things. This first item has nothing to do with anything in this blog, but it’s such a beautiful story. Please go read it<\/a>! (Warning: it’s a long thread on twitter. And have tissues handy. It’ll make you cry. But in a good way!)<\/p>\n

The holidays are here, and if you are the giving sort, check out these gift guides<\/b><\/span> created by and for spoonies, and in some cases, the actual items were created by spoonies! (In the past, I created gift guides of my own, but… too tired. So bless these bloggers for doing it for me!)<\/p>\n

It’s an easy way to find things your friends may like and\/or need, and you don’t have to go searching for them! (You’re welcome. Yes, I’m a giver.)<\/p>\n

But first, a great gift idea is hand-made hats and headbands<\/a>. The seller, Liz, also has some lovely holiday ornaments and scrunchies (when and why?!?! did they come back in style??!?!?) for sale. But most importantly, proceeds from the sales benefit Jessica Diamond<\/a>, a fellow (much younger) MEep who desperately needs surgery. (You can also donate<\/a> directly to her campaign if you wish.)<\/p>\n
