What to buy fussy parents

Morning

Just after ideas for my parents - they are so hard to buy for. They are in their 70s. Don't go out a lot.

If I buy clothes, they often return them. I bought perfume/aftershave last year (my mum doesn't wear perfume that often)

I'd do a hamper - but both are veggie, and fussy with food. They don't really drink.

Ive looked at all local venues to see if there are any shows etc coming up to get tickets, but there's nothing on atm they would want to see.

I've bought dinner/afternoon tea vouchers before - they sometimes use them, sometimes totally forget.

Anything Im missing?

thanks xx

Take them out for a nice lunch to their favourite place. You can make a voucher and print it off so you have a thing to give them.

I got bought a gift certificate from Storybox.life where you get an email every week about your life and you build up your own story. Creating a hardback book with beautiful images. It’s a real treasure for the whole family to share.
