I just git back after being away from Sunday night. My parents and siblings (unmarried....I am the oldest) watched my three kids. Any good gift ideas? I am getting Mani pedi gift certificates for three girls. Youngest sister I bought her a pillow that she wanted . My parents are hard. They have everything they want and would never use a restaurant gift certificate. Any ideas....they got lots of pix from my trip and have lots from my kids so photos are not needed either.....

My mother is like superwoman....I am actually going to her for shabbos. She cooks at 5 am. And she has cleaning help.... etc.

She hates take out food. I am making two dips for shabbos....

I was thinking donething for her house like a Chanukas habayis cuz they moved a year ago and didn't put one up yet. Any ideas who has nice modern ones?

She would never use it. She ttly doesn't than any patience to decorate....she is a workaholic. My father was the one who did carpools and probably watched them.more along with my siblings.

What about a digital picture frame? They have ones that connect to the internet so anyone in the family could easily post pictures. My parents LOVE theirs.

Is there any time of home accessory like pillows for the couch or soft blankets they would enjoy?
A nice serving platter? Something that makes cooking easier like immersion blender, instapot etc.

I know you said she has photos already, but what abt a personalized photo gift? Like a wall calendar with pics of all the grandkids (or just ur kids!). Or a photo computer mouse, coffee mug, to go cup, etc

I tried that a few times but she looks at it once and doesn't really appreciate it.

But this one is different...its a token of appreciation right on the spot. Or a personalized something...a front rug or mugs ...

Wow lucky you. Can you host your siblings for a night or two so your parents can have a break?

Does she like to read? Maybe a new book or cookbook that just came out.

Digital picture frame? With so many photos, might be a nice way to see the pictures without having to open an album. My parents have one and the grandkids love watching it switch between all the images of family members and memorable vacations.

Finding the right gift to give can be so hard.
I once signed my parents up for a weekly flower delivery, so it was more than just one bunch of flowers
