Visitor Suggestions for Gifts for Mom & Dad |
Get in The Game
Sometimes a fun gift for Mom, Dad and the whole family are puzzles, board games, and /or interactive games that the whole family can play.
Thanks - Tonya, Exton PA
Create a Personalized Mugs for Them
If they drink tea or coffee, go to the local ceramic shop and paint a personalized mug for Mom and Dad. A fun gift for young children, especially if you hide the gifts under the tree and the parents can't figure out how it got there!
Thanks Tina J. - Austin, TX
Sometimes Being Alone is a Good Thing
As a young Mother of 2, sometimes the one gift that I would enjoy would be my husband taking the kids out for the day, 4-5 hours, and not be expected to get anything done or cleaned. Just relax and do what I want for a change.
Thanks Abby - Richmond, VA
Send Them On A Date
Send Mom and Dad on a date. They love this one. :) Simply buy gift certificates to their favorite restaurant, and then if they are coffee drinkers, as mine are, get them gift certificates to the best coffee house. Make a really cute certificate saying how they can have a romantic night out just the two of them. And if they enjoy a movie, or some other kind of entertainment, you can do that too. But sending them out on a date is a wonderful gift, and it's creative and unique to your parents.
Thanks Christy S.
