15 gift ideas for the hard-to-please people in your life
I love receiving gifts. Treat me out. At the tender age of 27, I still get wildly excited about Santa slipping a few treats my way come Christmas. But I hate giving gifts. And it’s not because I don’t like spending money on my loved ones; it’s because I’m often stumped about what to gift them.

What do you get for the difficult people in your life? Well, I’ve racked my brain and the internet and compiled a list of easy gift ideas to help you through this stressful period of the year.
