Fa-La-La-Fabulously Festive Gifts for the Holiday Enthusiast

Most of us know a holiday enthusiast: someone who bakes like Nigella, decorates like Buddy the Elf, carols like Scully of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and gives gifts like Leslie Knope. They are hardcore about the holidays, so only the most magical, unexpected, over-the-top, and tasteful holiday swag will do. Treat them to what they really want with these fabulously festive gifts.
