Christmas Gift Ideas for Parents
November 27th, 2007Parents are always tricky to buy for – they seem to have everything and get a little fussy in their old age. Experiences are always a good option here – whether it’s show tickets or a night away in a hotel somewhere special.
Concert or show tickets
Whether they’re Opera buffs or rugby fans, into their drama or horror, there’s sure to be a concert or show coming to a location nearby that will take their fancy. The beauty of this gift is that tickets go on sale so far ahead of the event date these days so they have plenty of time to fit it into their social calendars.
Weekends away
Get rid of your parents away for the weekend! They will enjoy wine regions, beach scenes, golfing or resorts and you’ll enjoy the huge brownie points… and maybe a little memento from the trip upon their return!
Season tickets to their favourite sporting team.
Do your parents love their rugby, tennis, swimming, soccer or hockey? Whatever their sport – the best seats are in the members stand and season tickets are a winner every time.
Digital photo frames
Parents love displaying embarrassing photos of the kids around the house. You can fix that this year by loading up every fantastic photo of yourself you can find onto a digital photo frame– and giving it to them for Christmas.
Wine and wine books
If mum and dad are wine connoisseurs in the making why not equip them with the tools of the trade? Wine themed gifts include decanters, stoppers, books and tours – a very tasty gift indeed.
Picnic packs
If the oldies love their bushwalks, day trips or outdoor concerts, help them out with one of thee many picnic packs on the market. Most of these have all the essentials including a cooler section, cheese board, containers and unbreakable glasses. They are easy to carry too – either as shoulder bags or backpacks.
Luggage or overnight bags
Are they still dragging around an embarrassingly tatty old luggage? Match them up with something smart and send them on their merry way. There are so many sizes, colours and designs to choose from you’re sure to find luggage to suit your parents needs and likes with this gift idea.
