As Strategist editors, we’re no strangers to the supply chain. We sniffed out impossible-to-find essentials liketoilet paperandhand sanitizer from unlikely sourcesduring the first wave of the pandemic and pulled together amegaguide of supply-chain work-aroundswhen we noticed the first squeeze on inventory this pastsummer. Thisholiday seasonis no different with delayed shipping, low inventory, and higher costs making shopping a little more complicated than simply finding the perfect gift for your hard-to-pleasemother-in-lawor finickyteen. But we here at the Strategist love a challenge.
So welcome to the Strategist’s Supply-Chain-Proof Gift Guide, a careful curation of gifts that are available to shop for — and ship — right now. Each item was handpicked by a member of our team from our catalogue of stories across 12 categories:home,toys,tech,beautyandgrooming,foodandcooking,outdoorsandfitness,wellness,travel,pets,teens,stocking stuffers, and wild-card options. Our picks range from the sturdily practical (a hotel-worthyduvet coverand an indestructiblepet bed) to the just plain fun (a pair of beginnerroller skatesand Taylor Swift’s favorite cat backpack).
This list will be checked and updated every day to ensure each one of the 60 gifts below can get to your door and under yourtreein time for December 25.
