Hello Gingerbread People!!!
The holidays are here and since most of us aren’t spending them with friends and family, there’s a lot of gift mailing going on. I don’t know about you, but every time someone asks me what I want for Christmas, I can never think of anything in the moment, so I always end up with stuff I don’t really need (despite me insisting I don’t need anything at all).
So, I came up with a solution!
I sat down and actually made an Amazon wish list. I did some research, asked around, and put together a personal list of things I want for gingerbreading (it’s totally a word).
Then, I went back through my Amazon purchase history for the last 3 years to try and find anything I could that would help in YOUR gingerbread journey. I’m embarrassed to say, there was A LOT.
I combined that with some suggested items from my Amazon Prime Day list and my wish list and POOF, I created this entire blog post that anyone in the gingerbread spirit can hopefully appreciate.
Of course, I did this on Amazon because it’s convenient and fast (and I’m an affiliate), but I’m also a big proponent of supporting small businesses, so if there’s anything you’d like me to add, please let me know! I did provide some links to cute little gingerbread products I found on Etsy that appear to deliver before Christmas as well.
I know it’s been a very tough year and a lot of people have lost jobs and fallen on hard times. I just want you to know that you are not alone. I created my gingerbread Facebook group to be a distraction. A community. A way for us all to talk, learn, teach, and find temporary happiness in our shared obsession. Your contributions to the group are hands down the best gifts I will get this season. Thank you for that.
ETSY ITEMS
I want to start with the cute little items I found on Etsy. I even reached out to all the shop owners to see what their delivery dates were looking like and if any were running any deals.
Disclosure: The ones I chose were all marked for delivery by Christmas, but all the shop owners said that the USPS is a mess right now and their stuff is taking longer than anticipated and cannot be guaranteed by Christmas, though they were all hopeful that they’d arrive by then if you order in the next week.

AMAZON ITEMS
The following products are all from Amazon. Some of them are favorites of mine. Some were just ideas I generated for the sake of ideas. My criteria is usually that I’ve used the product, someone I know has recommended it, or it has a lot of very good reviews.
Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, which means that I earn a small commission from anything you buy from Amazon using any of these links. It is at no cost to you and it helps me fund my gingerbread obsession. So, thank you!
