I’m curious whether that trend holds through early December or fades once gift guides take over.
I noticed the same shift toward cozy, budget-friendly projects in my own feed lately, and it matches what I've been gravitating toward too. The point about seasonal timing shaping what readers search for stood out to me, since I've watched that play out on my own small blog.
