What do you get for the person in your life who has everything? Try stuffing their bank account instead of their stocking. Anand Talwar, Deposits and Consumer Strategy Executive at Ally, joins Your Cheddar to talk about gifting financial security to a spouse or child for the holidays.
It may not be sexy, but giving your spouse a living will or naming them as a beneficiary could be one of the most important things you do all year. Talwar says only 44% of Americans have a living will, which he wants to see increase next year. Talwar also suggests giving the gift of financial security to your kids. Giving them an actual piggy bank and teaching them about saving and budgeting is more of an asset than an action figure.
Plus, what to get the millennials on your list. They're obsessed with the experiential economy, so Talwar suggests looking into gifting them your airline miles. It's technically free, (if you won't use them) and allows young adults to follow their travel passions.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
Shopping expert Trae Bodge discusses how talks between the U.S. and China is good news for now, but uncertainty remains for back-to-school and the holidays.
