Answer :

Mom – Candles? Potpourri? Matching scarf and gloves? If you’re considering a candle, look into Woodwick Candles. They have real wood wicks so when they burn they crackle. Sounds pretty. Brother – Well… what else does he like? How old is he? Dad – Again, going to need more details. What does he like to do? Does he golf or play any sports? Does he like to fish? Does he like meats and cheeses? Does he read a lot? Nan – You could get her a tin of cookies or some See’s candy. Is it cold where you are? How about a blanket to cuddle up under while she watches TV? Harry and David has some nice chocolates, jams, and jellies also.
