7 gifts for the woman in your life who’s operator AF
What do you buy the woman who's operator AF? Guns, guns, and more guns. And maybe some leggings. Previously, we explored what to buy the man in your life who's operator AF. The list was inspired by my quest to find the perfect gift for my husband, but that prompted him to ask me what I wanted in return. Apparently a million dollars and a pool weren't going to happen on such short notice. Thus, this list was born:
