Just Ask Elizabeth: Holiday Shopping

Dear Elizabeth,

With the Christmas holiday upon us, I need some shopping advice.
Any suggestions for special gifts for pre-teens and teens in my life?

Dear Auntie in Abington,

We all need help when shopping for pre-teens and teens. After giving them a price range, ask them to make a very specific list of items that they might like. Gift cards are always great as long as combined with other gifts because we all like to open presents! Treats are a must as well. One friend has the parent shop because they can combine monies with others for the more expensive items. Another friend has the pre-teens and teens select 5 items and she then shops. Be creative and have fun. Shopping can be a treat with a well thought out list. Enjoy.
