Everybody remembers how exciting it was as kids to wake up on Christmas morning to piles of presents underneath the tree. Honestly, that feeling doesn’t change much as you grow up—except instead of looking for the biggest box to open, adults know to look for the smallest ones. That’s where the really good gifts are.
This holiday season, theGroupon Coupons team pored through theBlue Nile gift guide to pick out some of their pint-sized presents that we’d love to give or receive as a gift.
