I know it's a bit of a broad question and different men and women in their sixties like wildly different things BUT my PILS are going to have no gifts the way DP is going and I don't know what to get them!

I won't go into their likes an dislikes as they don't really seem to like anything in particular (I'm not being rude, they are lovely but have no interests much outside the grandchildren and watching TV).

So I am wondering if you can list what you are getting for your parents/PILS around this age group in the hope something inspires me/ DP who is actually responsible for their present buying!

Thank you!

We got ours National Trust Memberships, they absolutely love it so we renew it every year - job done! It's £80 for both of them.

Mum and stepdad (63&70)-tickets to see the bbc philharmonic orchestra in our home city- they are classical music fans.

Dad (59) a garden hose! He asked for one Smile
Stepmum (61) a cinema gift card. I always struggle with her but she and my dad love the cinema and have just retired.

DP has got his dad (68) the godfather DVD box set and his mum (63) a sainsbury's voucher! Well she did say she didn't want anything..........Confused
