I'm looking for ideas for a joint gift 3 siblings can offer to their parents in their 70s.
Both ecology conscious nature lovers. She enjoys walking. He enjoys bird watching. He has health problems linked to bowels: limited diet and reluctant to stay away from home overnight.

Any ideas?

@GreenTulips
I'm not sure what you mean by recreate family photos. Can you please clarify. Thanks.

@bestbefore I have submitted this idea to the committee. Thank you!

Example pic of you and sibling swinging in a tree in a green top and blue shorts - you find a tree where the same coloured clothes and take a pic in the same position

Or maybe you all dug sand castles or a pic with ice cream with sauce in your face

Same pic X years apart

Afternoon Tea for all the family at a nearby National Trust place.

Guided walk with a warden around an RSBP or similar reserve, maybe a picnic tea/lunch too.

Ordnance Survey map centred on their house or a favourite spot of countryside (order in advance).

Marking spot for ideas, in case you aren't my SiL Wink

A tree. You can go to some places and plant one to remember a special occasion or as a memorial to a loved one.

A day excursion on a steam train.

Thank you for these ideas and the explanation about recreated photos.

For my parents we sponsored a golden retriever puppy training to be an assistance dog.

Family photo shoot of you all? Wither with parents or just the 'children'.

Something for the garden like a hedgehog feeding station.

Chimnea?

Blondie1984 · 02/05/2019 06:06

How about chickens or a beehive?

BackforGood · 02/05/2019 23:30

Clearsommespace - no - it's okay, we don't all need to name change Grin

Phew!
Thanks for the additional ideas.
Chickens had already been suggested by and seconded so you are thinking along the same lines as the siblings!

We bought my dad a Subscription club for Rum from this website we found for his 70th (They are doing 10% off for new subscribers as well just now) It was between myself and my two brothers. And we got him a quarterly version so he gets a box every 3 months but I think you can choose the frequency.
