provresgrp Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm thinking a cruise would be nice! Of course that depends on your budget (maybe you should mention that). A friend of mine got his parents a cruise for christmas one year. His sister asked what he got them, and when he told her, she got upset. She got them T-shirts. Of course he had a much better paying job, so she shouldn't have felt bad for getting the shirts, she purchased within her price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treasure60 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Ask them for a Christmas list of things they would like to have for Christmas and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverly Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 NO HOBBIES!?! That does make it tough. Do they have favorite music, movies or authors? You could get something from those categories. Original art is nice too - a painting or sculpture. Tickets to a show or game with a small piece of foo that matches (for a musical - the sound track, for a sports team - a travel mug to put the tickets in) Something childish and silly may be good too, like matching remote control cars to race around the house or some board games. The "latest" tv related gizmo (or one they don't have yet) is another idea. One year I got my MIL all the ingredients for a fancy Greek dinner (with the recipes) after she came back from a retreat where they served some good greek food and she loved it. Good Luck!

copados1993 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I know my parents would love a weekend at a B&B. Just somewhere to relax and not have to worry about making the bed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dane Mom Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 How about something for outside of the house? Say, a birdbath, bird feeder, statuary items, windchime, a garden bench,... Or, when all else fails I like to give (and receive) movie tickets and restaurant gift certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
