What are you buying your parents or inlaws?

[hidinginthenightgarden]

I am really struggling with my parents. They are mid 50s, mum has horses and Dad goes walking. They go dancing together but have already done a dance n the blackpool tower and tickets to strictly/dance lessons..
Looking for inspiration through what others are gifting!

My dad - good thermal hat and gloves - lives on a canal boat
Mum - travel planner and an Agatha Christie
H’s dad - trousers for sure.
H’s mum - nightwear and hosiery.
H will add treat stuff to that too. They live in his home country and believe or not these things are hard to find with any kind of quality. His dad reminded of compo in the summer!

If they like dancing do they have a favourite Strictly dancer? A big hit with my parents was the year I bought them tickets to see Vincent & Flavia's show.

Do they like food? Not something I bought for my parents as they don't like anything with flavour, but I bought DH a spicery subscription which was well received and could easily work for a couple.

For your Dad if he has a favourite walk then how about a print or photo of the place or one of the really nice OS maps of his favourite area framed up. You can get postcode/coordinate specific maps on Not on the High Street

I you were my daughter I would be delighted with some really fabby hand cream, my hands really suffer in the winter doing the horses. Also some gloves might go down well, I like the sort that are a mix of fabric and rubber so that I'm not too impeded whilst I'm doing my jobs.
