For your Elders
Okay so my Grandma likes different kinds of brooches and collecting shells, and my Pop likes leather things, flasks, and old cameras. So it really depends on who they are. I’m sure they’ll love whatever you buy them. Just put lots of kisses on the Christmas Card and give em’ a big hug.

And there you have it. Now print it out and go shopping!
P.S Don’t forget to treat yourself as well!
