Because I've come to think of you all as friends and because so many of you are very creative thinkers, I'd like your suggestions. I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with Christmas gift ideas for my parents this year. We spend about $50 on the pair together. I'd be happy with a gift for the two of them together or with individual gifts for each. Here are the issues to keep in mind:
So, now do you see what I'm up against? My mind has gone completely blank. (No wise cracks, please. )
TIA!
- Neither drinks alcohol.
- Dad is 84, blind, and nearly deaf. He just had a coronary and has developed a few blood sugar issues, so my usual Hickory Farms selection won't work this year.
- Mom rarely cooks anymore, and they don't entertain in their home. They live in a gated community with a large building they use for parties.
- They don't really watch television or movies.
- I'm not really crafty, and, even if I were, I don't have time to make them anything.
- The time frame with our son makes a family portrait gift a no-go.
- They will be visiting here in Indiana for the holidays, but anything I give them will have to travel back to Florida on the plane.
- They never agree on restaurants, so I hesitate to give them gift cards for food.
So, now do you see what I'm up against? My mind has gone completely blank. (No wise cracks, please. )
