Friends are easy to shop for. You usually bond with someone over common interests, and common interests make it simple to find things that your buddy or bestie will love. But what about the people in your family? You're bound by blood, not your shared obsession over Beyonce. And shopping for them can be tough. If they're Marylanders, though, we've got your whole list covered. Here's what to get all those hard-to-shop-for family members:

For Dad: Here For The Crabs and Beer Shirt

For the grandma who's been stylish for decades: Scarf
She's been the picture of elegance since the Eisenhower administration -- who says you've gotta be young to look good? Not this grandma! Cater to her eye for style by giving her a scarf that'll keep her warm and look striking with her peacoat.
For the doctor/lawyer cousin who's going places: Old Bay Bow Tie
