It leaves many people wishing for the gift of more time and less stress,” said Rios. “This year, I’m proud to be partnering with Barnes & Noble, because its mission aligns with my values of sharing knowledge and a love of reading. Plus, Barnes & Noble stores are one-stop-shops, where consumers can get their holiday gift shopping done, and even wrapped, all in one place, for every person on their gift list, allowing them to balance the stress and excitement that the holiday season brings.”
