Appreciation Gift for my parents?

I like the idea of the framed photo. Parents always like stuff like that. Maybe you could even wait until after graduating to give it to them, so that you could get a photo of yourself in a cap and gown.\n\nOr even just a heartfelt letter of thanks may do the trick.

buy them an amazon gift certificate " you pay the money ,amazon mail or email them the certificate, and your parents buy what ever they like from amazon with the amount of money you payed." see http://goodmanzone.tripod.com , they have good ideas for other Christmas gifts too.

I usually get my Mom a candle, and some kind of jewlery or gift card. Last year I went with my Father and little brother and we picked out a bracelet, and had it customized just for her.\n\nOther times I've given her gift cards to her favourite stores(she loves shopping) or treated her to dinner/lunch to whatever she wants. She's expensive sometimes, but she's my Mom.. \n\nSometimes the simplest gifts, like a candle or something are nice though.

Appreciation/enthusiasm of their gift is best.

If your Mom has a hobby, get something related to that.  \nSubscriptions to a magazine she likes to read is a gift that gives all year.\nMy daughter got me a gift certificate to my favorite lunch place, good for a weeks worth of lunches. \nIf your Mom is like me, she doesn't need trinkets, but something useful is always appreciated.  You know, you could also write her a letter and tell her how much you appreciate and love her.\nPictures are always a good thing too.  A nice scrapbook of her life, something you put together for her.

I wonder  why  i am answering  this.MY  daddy  died APRIL  6, 2006. But  i  would get  them  both a  gift  that  has  you  in  it.  example  a  mug  cup  with  your  pictute on  it.They  look  expensive  often  times  costing  under  10  bucks.MAybe  something  you  made  example:A  box  of his favorite  cookies  or  a  cake  he  likes.OR  have  some  one  make  him one.I  had  a personal picture  cake  made for  my  day for  about  6  bucks.He  loved  it. Or maybe a  picture  wallet   of  photos  of  you  from  a  baby  till  now  .  Or  one of  the whole  family  he  can  tuck a  way  at  work  and  pull  out  to  new  people.  My  dad  had  a  small  picture  album  at  his  desk  i made of  me+ mom  +  our  dog  and  granny  and   the whole family. i  was  a  way  when  daddy  died  but<  mom  says  he had  the  picture album  i  made  5 years  ago  in  his  hand when  he  took  his last  breath. THose  are  things  dads  love.  things  where  your  in  it.   Happy  fathers  day daddy love  star

You sound like such a thoughtful person! You also seem very well-spoken. You should write her a poem or a nice letter telling her why you appreciate and love her. You could make a frame for it, or if you have a tiny bit of money, you could buy a premade frame at a craft store for under $3 and decorate it.\n\nYou could also take a picture, or have a picture taken of you and siblings/pets/dad/other important family member.\n\nI am almost 26 and my mom still prefers the handmade gifts, even when I have money to buy her something nice.

Bring wine for the father and get something else for the mom like a box of chocolates or something.  Nothing too personal but a token gift. If you bring flowers for the mom, she'll be charmed.

You could give him a hand written card to thank him, being as specific as you can.  He might keep it and treasure it forever.

Well you didn't say that money was an issue and I don't know your age but alot of thought can go into this suggestion. My daughter did this years ago and her dad loved it.\n\nBuy some nice index cards and make 'coupons' for your dad to redeem when he wants to use the coupon. For example:\n\nThis coupon entitles you to 1 free car wash.\nThis coupon entitles you to a free lawn cut.\n\nThis is just examples so you have to think of what your dad would really like done around the house and make coupons for this. If he usually takes out the garbage or walks the dog, stuff like that he would love some help with. \n\nMake up the coupons and decorate them and put them in his fathers day card. I promise he will love it. He will know how much time you spent on the gift.\n\nHope this helps!!

That will largely depend on the child, and of course, your financial situation.\nMy parents used to spend about $300 a piece on us when we were in high school.\n\nAlthough, I have to tell you that the most meaningful gift I ever got only cost $12. It was the missing book from a collection I had.... If you're thoughtful and can find something that they really want and will cherish, there isn't any need to go that high.

Give half to my parents and half to my husbands parents. I think they deserve it because they spent many years raising us and taking care of us that it would be nice to be able to show our appreciation and give back to them for all they have done for us.
