GRANDPARENT GIFT GUIDE
THIS GRANDPARENT GIFT GUIDE WAS A FAN FAVORITE LAST CHRISTMAS SO WANTED TO DO IT AGAIN! THIS SCARF OR THIS BAG WOULD MAKE THE BEST GIFT FOR MOM. IF YOU HAVE A TECHIE GRANDPARENT ON THE LIST THEY WOULD LOVE A NEW KINDLE, AN EASY IPAD STAND OR THIS BLUETOOTH PICTURE FRAME. YOUR FAVORITE COOK WILL BE CRAZY FOR THIS POT OR EASY BBQ TRAYS. I THINK A GREAT FAMILY PICTURE IN A FRAME IS ALWAYS THE BEST GIFT TOO!

TEEN GIFT GUIDE IS LIVE! SO MANY GREAT OPTIONS FOR THE TEENS ON YOUR LIST. YOU KNOW I INCLUDE A GAME AND BOOK ON EVERY LIST BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS KIDS IN OUR MINDS. YOUR OLDER TEENS CAN USE THIS SOFA OR WEEKENDER FOR THE FUTURE! MAYBE YOU HAVE A YOUNGER TEEN THAT WOULD LOVE THIS LIGHT PROJECTOR OR FUN LAMP FOR THEIR ROOM. MY TEENS WANT A NEW PHONE, THESE SPLITS59 LEGGINGS, THE GOLF BAG AND THIS BARBOUR JACKET.
Tween Holiday Gift Guide!
TWEEN GIFT GUIDE IS LIVE! IN MY MIND THE TWEEN AGE GROUP IS 9 TO 12 OR 13 YEARS OLD. OBVIOUSLY A PHONE IS ON ALL OF THEIR LISTS AT THIS AGE. I STILL THINK THEY LOVE TO PLAY OUTSIDE AND ENJOY CREATIVE PROJECTS SO HOPEFULLY SOME OF THESE GIFT IDEAS JUMP OUT AT YOU. HOW FUN WOULD A NEW GUITAR AND LESSONS BE? I KNOW I WILL BE BUYING A FEW OF THE SKIRTS (cheaper than Gold Hinge) and the FRUIT FACE MASK FROM MY OWN LIST. THE VINTAGE TEAM SHIRTS AND HOODIES ARE FUN FOR YOUR SPORTS FANS.
