What gifts have you gotten for your parents?
My parents are impossible to buy for! Anyone get anything interesting for their parents or IL's?

Re: What gifts have you gotten for your parents?
I am thinking of getting my mom a canvas print of her with my son. Budget is limited and I know she appreciates thoughtful gifts.

I like to buy them things to go like plays, musicals, overnight trip, or what about plan a family day with them when you all go and do something festive. I think the best gift you can give is your time together.

Doing a photobook of dd for them. They don't go anywhere so it was the best idea we could come up with.

Re: What gifts have you gotten for your parents?
We are on a very strict budget this year so we are buying my father, IL's and my SIL and her Husband gift certs to ticket master. It gives them the option to go to a concert or broadway show.

Dad has everything. I am giving him a nice bottle of scotch, a popcorn gift basket with a Fandango movie gift card. He and Mom love the movies.

Re: What gifts have you gotten for your parents?
I don't know what your budget is, but we used Amazingclubs.com and sent my dad the wine of the month. They have so many different choices and month plans.

The first year DS was born, we burnt DVDs of our videos of DS and bought a bluray player and gave those as a gift.

I got my mom a Vera Bradley bag, and my dad a few winter vests for work. As a group gift, I got them a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant
We do not have children yet, but if we did I would definitely go down the route of a grandparent type gift like a few mentioned above

Re: What gifts have you gotten for your parents?
I got my mom an Origami Owl necklace. I included several charms to fit her--wine, shopping, high heel, and pocketbook....then I put a Mom charm and a Grandma charm in there (I'm pregnant and it will be her first grandchild), and then mine and my sister's birthstones (baby will have same birthstone as me  )
Both of my parents go out and get whatever they want so it's really hard to shop for them. I thought the necklace was something different and personalized.
Now, my dad...I have NO idea

Thank goodness for Pandora, lol! I get my dad gcs for his nook or kindle whenever he's on a reading kick. I also get them movies, clothes, we got them a logitech remote last year. We got them a programmable thermostat one year with the promise that DH would install it for them. Of course anything with DD's picture is hit. Last year we did an ornament from things remembered engraved with her name and bday and put her picture in along with one of those cube notepads from personalization mall (everyone loved those but no one wanted to actually use them). I also gave MIL a set of three small lenox frames that she loves to constantly change out with pics of DD or other family.
