YBH Holiday Gift Guide: For the Mentors In Your Life

Best gift ideas for mentors, grandparents, aunts, uncles and those who have inspired you, via Yellow Brick Home

Whether you’re on the hunt for a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or teacher, today’s gift guide is all about the ones you look up to – with a focus on everything from favorite foods to a daily reminder of your special bond! We’ve worked to ensure that these lists include items from women, Black and Asian owned businesses, independent makers, and a range of price points. Over the next several weeks, we’ll pop into Stories @yellowbrickhome to share deals, gift requests and more.

Available in a handful of different shapes and sizes, this delicate box is a chic way to display all the photo prints you’ve gifted them over the years.

2. Silk Eyemask, $50

Restful sleep is one of the best gifts you can give! This silk mask is sure to lend a hand with that.

We love a personalized custom ornament and they will too! Add a photo of a favorite shared memory and make them smile every time they place it on their tree.
