Gifts for parents

lsubatgirl · Gucci

I have the worst time with my dad. My mom is really easy but not really my dad.

For my mom: small black coach bag from the outlet ($90) since she wanted a new black bag and would never buy something like coach for herself, a sweater from Ann Taylor Loft ($30), slippers from Ann Taylor Loft that she picked out ($14), manicure set from Sephora and a make up brush ($35)

My dad: purple Ralph Lauren Polo Shirt ($40), probably a starbucks coffee sampler gift set ($15) since he likes coffee, some baseball card packs, and I'm not sure what else. We are all kinda at a loss with him. My mom is getting him either the 6 ticket game package for LSU basketball or the 5 game package for the Hornets when they play at LSU just to give another idea if there is a sports team near you.

Well, of course, it all depends on what they're into, but here are some suggestions: (sorry for the big pics)

A down comforter (if they don't already have one)

If they like to cook:

A year subscription to The Economist (one of my favorite magazines, and I'm not an economist):

If one of them is a movie buff:

An XM Radio receiver with a year subscription:

Delphi SkyFi2 Satellite Radio - SA10101-11P1

And everyone loves soft, high-thread count sheets:

I'm getting my parents each a bunch of little things, so my suggestions won't help... Good luck!

Shopping for my parents is difficult, especially since I don't live with them anymore I don't know what they have or want. Last year I got my dad a paper shredder since he was just throwing out his financial documents plain in the garbage! This year I just gave my parents clothes since I know they will wear them.
