When it comes to Christmas shopping for parents is the hardest part. They almost never tell you what they want, it’s impossible to find something they will like (and use), and it’s just super stressful. So I came up with some ideas on things you can get your parents that are foolproof. These are things all parents (or grandparents) might like.
A super-soft kawaii Blanket.
Everyone loves and needs blankets and it can’t hurt to have another one lying around the house. Kawaii soft stuff always soothes ones’ heart, soul, and body. The aesthetic is not only for kids or teens, parents and grandparents need to be healed too.
A customized DIY photo/album.
Creating a fun way to display a memory you have together is a unique and touching way to give a gift. If you like handmade gift ideas, check out also this guide.
Candles of a cozy Christmas vibe.
Because the older they get, the better they want the house to smell nice and decorated with a warm cozy Christmas aesthetic.
I love candles. They help create a relaxing atmosphere and can make a room smell so much better. There is nothing quite like getting in the bath or curling up on the couch with a candlelit. Of course, Bath and Body Works has some amazing candles.
Snacks with cute words.
No matter if it’s healthy or not healthy, snacks are always a good thing to have on hand. I always like to have light natural healthy snacks on hand like fruits or crackers. They help prevent me from overeating throughout the day.
Healthy ones are preferred as gifts to parents, you can make the snack basket more adorable by attaching some cute love notes to each of the packages.
Nail polish & new style.
There is nothing quite like a new shade of nail polish and freshly painted nails. Whether it’s your fingers or your toes, painting your nails can help anyone to feel like a completely new person. For dad, he probably needs more work for his nails and toes than mom. A hand/feet care package or spa experience will help you to spoil him well.
You can also help your parent with a makeover night – Declutter their wardrobe, buy new outfits, and try new styles.
Cute stocking stuffers.
We had so many good memories from stocking stuffers by mom, now it is time to spoil the parents with an adorable one prepared by you. ==> More cute ideas HERE.
Planner.
Parents have poor eyesight than you. Make sure to choose cute planners of large text and wide lines for their easy reading. You can write some adorable love notes on different pages of the planner for your lovely dad and mom to explore.
Scrap Booking Kit.
This is for parents who love DIY. The scrape book can be a good conversation starter for next Christmas.
College memorabilia.
Every parent wants a shirt or sweatshirt from their child’s college. It’s just a theme I have noticed. You can’t go wrong here (unless you get the wrong size).
A cookbook.
If you have a parent who loves to cook, this could be a good way to go. Most parents love trying new recipes, so this could be a fun gift. Bonus is you get to enjoy the delicious new tastes later. So buy your parent a cookbook of what you want to eat. :3
Your Favourite Books.
When there are breaks I always like to read. I have a stockpile of books and with Better World Books, I accumulate more and more books throughout the year. So I really like to catch up when I am on break. I love reading autobiographies and fiction novels.
Parents are also curious about what is in your mind. Sending them a book you are really enjoying these days can help to reconnect with you. This is a really really good gift idea for parents, I am saying it from my personal experience.
A New Blender.
It’s a fun kitchen appliance that every household needs. So whether they need a new one or just need one in general, this could be fun.
Gift Cards.
You really can’t go wrong with giving them money to spend at their favorite store or restaurant. This idea really is foolproof.
Self-care & pampering kits.
I love face masks because they help bring my skin back to life. I have intensely dry skin, especially in the winter, so face masks help revive my skin. I love the Freeman Black Sugar & Charcoal Mask. It’s inexpensive and effective.
The concept of a self-care & pampering kit is similar to sharing books with parents, sharing your favorite face mask and self-care product is a way to show love. It is intimate, close, and relaxing. And it will be the best conversation starter at the next gathering.
***IMPORTANT*** Parents often have a different skin problem from you. Safe self-care & pampering gift choices will be those related to feet, body skin, hand, hair, spa, dead skin removal, moisturizing, etc.
It’s almost time to relax and rest before the new year begins. One of the best ways to do that is to take a weekend just for yourself after meeting the parents and all the overwhelming holiday gatherings.
If you like any of these Christmas gift ideas, maybe you can buy one for yourself too! Relaxing is always better when you have a few cozy key things with you to make the experience more enjoyable. Here are mine!
