Ask Aunt

B Dear Aunt B, I know it is an age-old problem, but what do you give to those who have everything? I want to give meaningful gifts, but I am lost with some of my people. Help me with some ideas. Not a Clue Dear Not a Clue, What a blessing that so many of our friends and family are blessed with this issue. I don’t mean to make light because it is a real problem for some. Gift-giving should be a pleasurable event. It should be a token of our love for another. Here I go, I think this is called a bandwagon. Aunt B does love to give presents, I promise. I just don’t like the pressure that can come with gift-giving. I am also not fond of gift-giving on demand. I prefer to give gifts when I find something that I know one of my loves would love or when I know that something is needed. However, as you are probably thinking right now, everything is not about Aunt B. Just give some advice, please.
