Every year, your mother tells you she just wants a nice card for Christmas. Every year, you know full well that if you just got her a nice card, you’d not be allowed any turkey. As she’s refusing to give you any indication of what she’d like under the tree, stick with the classics, from brands she’ll already love: think See by Chloé, Kate Spade and Ted Baker, in traditional styles and muted colours.

Your Gran Who “Just Wants To Spend Time With You”

Your Gran always just asks to see you more, which, given your hectic social and work lives, is understandable. Treat her to a trusty backpack or a practical crossbody bag,  so she can pop up and visit any time she wants.
