Do you notice that the 18+ on your list do not want you to buy them clothes? Yes, that’s because we older folks don’t pick out the right stuff for their generation. Ha! We were all young once. We know what’s good for them, don’t we?
Well, you know the answer to that question, don’t you? We don’t know what they like. Trends keeping coming and going in clothes. It’s just too difficult to choose. Forget about sizes! That’s even harder to figure out! Yikes!
Why not give up on the clothes and try books? There are so many books out there to choose from on Amazon and other sites. I have 37 of my own that I hope you will check out soon for all ages on your lists. For those 18+ on your list check out the suggestions below. You are sure to find one for every age and those teens on your list this Christmas.
