Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to start thinking about how to give back to your loved ones this holiday season. I love putting thought into gifts and giving valuable items. I have compiled some of my favorite ideas for this gift guide for any person you may want to include.

1. Merchandise from your college

2. A mug with a gift card to their favorite coffee shop inside

3. A candle or diffuser

4. An Amazon Alexa

5. A robot vacuum cleaner

For grandparents:

2. A Tile key finder

3. A pair of house slippers

4. A personalized cutting board

5. An Amazon Kindle

For your brother:
