When it comes to shopping for mom and dad, the pressure’s on. After all they do, they deserve nothing but the best gifts for parents. Thankfully, we’ve got a tip: tap their interests or pick something that makes life a little easier, and you’re sure to score.
The goal is to find a gift that is both thoughtful and meaningful—something that shows how much you care and appreciate them. So, if mom (or your stepmom) loves nothing more than spending time with her kiddos, consider a fun family game or a scratch-off book that takes the guesswork out of choosing a movie to watch together. If dad loves to cook, get him a Bluetooth meat thermometer that’ll ensure a chef’s kiss result every time. Or, for the parent who is basically a full-time chauffeur, a trendy leakproof water bottle to keep them hydrated on the go makes a great gift. Of course, little luxuries are always appreciated, too. Think sweet-smelling candle gift sets, a personalized bracelet, or a neck and back massager.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or a holiday like Christmas, Mother’s, or Father’s Day, keep reading for dozens of the most thoughtful gift ideas for parents (and in-laws!).
