55 Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Parents

The gift-giving season is upon us once again, which means putting together a budget, waiting in traffic outside of the mall, and scouting for decent sales wherever you can find them. It also means brushing off those gift-wrapping skills (or just investing in some dollar store gift bags if you’ve got two left hands). Some people are easy to find presents for: close friends, small children, significant others. However, there’s one group of people who are notoriously difficult to shop for: parents. After all, what can you get for the people who’ve already given you everything?

There are typical, boring gifts for dads: a Home Depot gift card, a bottle of scotch, a shaving set… barbecue tools. The same goes for moms: slippers, an apron, craft supplies… fancy teas. But, hey, not all parents are alike, nor do they all do typical “mom’ and “dad” things. Instead of throwing a cliche, commonplace item into one of those gift bags, a more specific, personal gift will be of much better use to your parents in all of their uniqueness.

Not all of us have the time to make an elaborate, grand gesture of a holiday gift to Mom or Dad, but we can all spare a moment to really consider what they would enjoy unwrapping this year. We’ve got you covered with some of the more thoughtful gifts you can order to satisfy your gift-giving ambitions.
