They're the people that have taught you all of your bad habits, so how can you thank them? Here's some ideas...

Besides the annual Mother's Day and Father's Day, did you know there's actually a day dedicated to your aunt and uncle? Yep, July 26th each year is a full day dedicated to the people that probably taught you how to pull raspberries, play pranks and get out of trouble cheekily.
Of course, they don't have to be related by blood. Many of us have aunts and uncles that aren't necessarily linked to us, but have played significant roles in our lives.
Whether related or not, they're a shoulder to cry on, a companion to hit the town with and the best childminders you could ask for.
So celebrate on July 26th! Tell them how much you appreciate them, take the time to see how they are and you could even give them a gift. Here's some ideas!
Their favourite book
Do you know what their favourite author is? Great! Why not head to the bookstore and get them the latest novel published by them. Alternatively, you could order online a personalised "why my auntie is brilliant" book, that you can really put your heart and soul into to show how much she means about you.
A personalised tote bag
There are so many online stores from which you can order a sophisticated and personalised tote bag from. Gift your aunt with one in her favourite colour, with "best auntie" emblazoned across it so she can walk around using it, loudly and proudly!

A keychain
Something so small can have such a huge effect when it comes to showing your aunt or uncle how much you love them. Their keys are something they'll carry with them everywhere and anywhere, and so a keychain is a great little gift to give.
The best auntie/uncle ever mug
It's a gift that is so easy to find in stores at the mall or online... Choose one that has "best auntie ever and ever" or "most awesome uncle" written on it and you won't go wrong. We're sure they'll truly appreciate their new, funky mug to dip their biscuits in while enjoying a cup of tea!
...or simply send them a card
You could design it yourself or select a great design from your chosen gift card provider. No matter where it's from, we're sure it will cheer them up plenty when she opens the envelope to see a little note from their favourite niece or nephew. You can't go wrong with a card, too, it's such a thoughtful and simple way of reminding someone that you care about them, and appreciate everything you do.
