"This should not come as a surprise to most Americans," Secretary Gina Raimondo explained. "Though the outlook for next year has improved over the past several weeks, right now many consumers are having a tough time finding what they want at an affordable price."
In addition to challenges when it comes to finding the perfect gift for friends and family this holiday season, supply chain problems have resulted in some unexpected difficulties for parents of younger children. According to Carol Aebersold, co-founder of The Lumistella Company, some families are going to be extremely disappointed. "I hope that parents remembered to feed their Elf on the Shelf this year because it may take several months to replace a dead one."
