Gifts from Uncles to Nieces

You’re UNK – the crazy-cool uncle that your niece has grown to admire and adore for your awesome antics. You’re the one that said yes to ice cream and soda pop when her parents said no. You’re the one she came to with her first heartbreak or to ask advice about bullies at school. You’ve been there through it all, so give her one of these gifts from uncles to nieces to mark the holidays. One thing we’ve learned is that gifts aren’t sentimental unless they’re meant to be. It’s more about who they are coming from and less about what they are. Ergo, any gift from you – her favorite uncle – will be sentimental because it’s from the heart.
