Bailey and Tatum.

PS. we have a little sister and brother to and dont have a lot of
money

Dear Bailey and Tatum,

Presents don’t have to cost money. You could clean the house for your mommy and do nice things for your younger brother and sister likegive them backrubs and play with them alot. I bet your mommy would like a picture that you drew. Please let me know what you decide. Good luck!

Mrs Liebelt asked

Miss Elly,
I have a friend. Her name rhymes with Macey. She is very difficult to buy for when it comes to presents. She returns everything! Since you gave such great advice for my children’s presents, I thought I’d ask for another present idea. What are some
presents that most people wouldn’t even think about
returning?

Mrs. Liebelt

Dear Mrs. Liebelt, most people wouldn’t return video cameras but that’s really expensive so you should get her deli meat because they won’t take that back. Love, Elly

Mrs. Liebelt asked

Elly,
Today is December 15th, and I am no where near done shopping for my children’s Christmas presents. I have one week to finish. You already know who they are, but I’ll remind you of their ages. I am hoping you could give me some quick, easy, not too expensive ideas.Boy 17
Girl 15
Boy 11

I’m sure they will thank
you for your advice.

For the 11 year old boy get him Legos and a bucket to keep them in.
For the 15 year old girl a Password Journal.
For the 17 year old boy a new backpack so he can put his school stuff in there for college.

And I bet they will thank both of us.

Jeff asked

Dear Elly, My wife says not to buy her anything for Christmas. Do you think she
really means it?

My mom says the same thing to my dad and inside she’s like buy me something good. So your wife probably wants a trip to Disney World or something like that.

Danny asked

Dear Elly,What should I get my 13 year old sister for Christmas? Thank you -
Danny

You should get your sister a new piano book. If you have enough money. Or you could also make a homemade present for her, like a picture of penguins marching or a picture of santa. Or make her breakfast in bed.
