Were you more naughty than nice this year? Or were you a stressed-out Scrooge, snapping at everyone that crossed your path? Perhaps you’re still feeling pretty bad about blowing your dad off last weekend. The art of the apology is a well-proven practice—but sometimes saying sorry just ain’t enough. And if that’s the case, it’s time to pull out the big guns.

Yes, you should probably take a beat to assess why you were such a crank this year—but given that Christmas is fast approaching, let’s multitask, shall we? First, it’s time for you to change your ways! Seek out yoga, or maybe treat yourself to some at-home R&R. Finding your inner zen will surely change your outer behavior going forward. Second, decide which of the below items will get you back in the good graces of your loved one. Yes, you're going to have to break the bank on these puppies, but no one ever said the cost of forgiveness was cheap. And let’s face it, they’ll have a hard time staying angry when you’ve got a Segway with a big red bow on it for them on Christmas morning.
