Callista’s Ramblings is now accepting submissions for the Holiday Gift Guide 2025 – I’ve lost track but I’ve done more 10+ Holiday Guides.
This is a fantastic way to get your products in front of families just in time for the holiday season. Keep reading to see how you can be included!
What’s Included in the Holiday Gift Guide:
✅ Feature Post on Callista’s Ramblings
✅ Inclusion on the Holiday Gift Guide page (with links back to your feature post — unfortunately all past gift guides are gone thanks to our malware issue. But imagine one page that shows a small image of all items and lists basic info with links to buy and to learn more.)
✅ Social Media Promotion of your feature post (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter/X)
✅ Instagram Post featuring your product (shared before or after Christmas, depending on timing)
✅ Ongoing Promotion of the Gift Guide across social media from publication until Christmas Eve
✅ Extra Social Media Promotion for items valued at $100+
📦 Note: You must be able to ship to me in Canada and cover shipping costs.
