Need some gift ideas

[CHCRandy]

As the parent of a kid who doesn't look like me (and that's a very good thing), the recommendation above is perfect.


Only a parent can understand self sacrifice. And only a grandparent understands from a generation away.


If you must purchase something...

Get her a car seat for her jeep and get him a jogging stroller.
Go to "once upon a child" for lightly used items.

I was thinking the same thing. As a parent and grand parent I can tell you we hate to see our children spend money on gifts. I would much rather them not spend money (they always do it anyway) that they don't have to blow....and just give us something small with meaning.

I will never forget when my daughter handed my wife a $2 baby bib that said something about best grandparents ever.......I didn't understand what was up until I seen my wife crying like a baby and showing me......that was pretty special.

I am sure your parents will be happy with whatever you give them....it sounds cliche, but honestly you being what you are has already made them happier than they could ever be.

We do gift baskets. Put some fruit and some candy that they like and garnish it with a few gift cards that they like.

Yuck.

Where do you think you came from?

But seriously, doing something for them is better then spending money on them, especially as you guys are saving up.
