The 2020 holiday season is upon us, which means we have a little over a month to figure out how to end this tumultuous year on a high note. Not likely, with all the chaos still going on in the world (thanks COVID-19), but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to spread a little holiday cheer.

Start by throwing out that Sears catalog.

Most of the world is being asked to stay home for the holidays, which means Amazon (and countless other online outlets) will be competing for your hard-earned dollar. That said, mindlessly scrolling through dozens of product pages can be a daunting task.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

To help ease some of your holiday anxiety, we’ve partnered with a handful of our long-time partners to bring you a holiday gift guide specifically curated for you, the discerning Maniac, so that you come up aces when it counts the most.

We’re making a list, you’re checking it twice.
