The holidays can be magical… or stressful as hell. In this episode, Tiffany and Janette get honest about gift giving as adults in the rebuild season—whether you’re newly single, co-parenting, or simply redefining what the holidays mean to you. They unpack childhood traditions, financial pressure, blended families, exes, and how to create gifting rituals that actually feel good (instead of forced). 🎯 What We Talk About: How childhood traditions shape how we give today Letting go of unrealistic holiday expectations Navigating gifting after divorce & in blended families Making meaningful memories on a budget Tween wishlist strategy (and how to make surprises fun) DIY gifting ideas that feel personal and thoughtful Experience gifts vs. material gifts Reframing the entire holiday mindset 🧡 Key Takeaways: Holiday magic isn’t about how much you spend, but how present you are. Gifting shouldn’t be a competition — especially with exes or extended family. Thoughtful, small gestures can be more powerful than big purchases. Experiences, DIY crafts, and intentional giving create lasting memories. ✨ Mentioned in the Episode: Candy train DIY ornaments Tween wishlist PowerPoints & scavenger hunts Morse code gift tags for a slower unwrapping moment Matching PJs traditions Baking gifts & coupon book ideas Handling co-parenting gifts & setting expectations early 📲 Follow us on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aholisticdose TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/aholisticdose Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aholisticdose 🌐 Visit our website: https://www.aholisticdose.com Hosted by Tiffany Castillo & Jeanette Soltys 🔔 Subscribe for real talk, budgeting tips, and unfiltered friendship every week.
