CHRISTMAS 2022: 11 GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOME
Here are 10 picks.
Minted.com Classic Postcard Photo Art by Ana de Sousa, starting at $39 framed
Framed photo art may be a winning gift for grandma and grandpa.
Minted.com is an online marketplace of independent artists and if this style isn’t for you, there are dozens of other custom photo art gifts to choose from, all of which you can personalize with the text, names, dates and words of your choice.
Minted.com Marvelous Flowers Puzzle by Sumak Studio, $42
For another great gift from Minted.com, this is a great activity for grandparents to do with grandchildren.

Amazon.com GLOW Deluxe Edition CD by Brett Eldredge, $9.99
Do you hear what we hear? Christmas carols everywhere.
Consider country artist Brett Eldredge's smooth, spirited collection of holiday favorites.
Tunes run the gamut from "I’ll Be Home for Christmas" and "Silver Bells" to "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "White Christmas."
Even though he’s a modern-day country music sensation, his old-timey warble is reminiscent of classic artists like Frank Sinatra and Steve Lawrence.
