A Yinzer Gift Guide

A couple of gift ideas for even the most impossible people to buy for on your holiday gift list.

We all have impossible to buy for people on our gift list this season, don’t we?

Take my mother, for instance. If she wants something, she goes out and buys it. Immediately. She sees a sale in the Sunday paper, my father, sitting nearby drinking coffee, hears a whoosh, and looks up to see various circulars flittering to the ground, my mother nowhere to be found, and his car keys and credit card missing.

YOU try shopping for someone like that.

Here are a few Pittsburgh-themed ideas for gifts that just might help you scratch a person or two off your list.

Pick one. Pick them all. Let me know if you need my shipping address.
