What are some customs upheld in Elul?

Customs

The month of Elul is a time of repentance, asking God for his forgiveness, in preparation for the High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

According to Jewish tradition, God cannot forgive any sins done towards other people with first asking for forgiveness for the person who was wronged. (A task easier said than done.)
