Gifts for parents

Karen84, 26 April, 2016 at 13:49 Posted on Planning 0 6

Please can you inspire me with gifts that I can buy for my mum and dad? I am really struggling. I think they would both like some thing that said 'father of the bride', etc but I don't know where to begin.

My dad doesn't drink so something like a hipflask / whisky glass wouldn't work.

I think there are slightly more options for FOTB like cufflinks, etc but I'm more stumped on MOTB, so any suggestions will be greatly received.

    Mums are definitely harder I think! I've gone for an embroidered hanky (as she will definitely cry!) that has a little poem I wrote on it, and a vintage locket with a photo of us (but thats more down to personal taste) x

    I have a friend who makes these frames... can we have up to 8/9 words of your choice and she makes them all from scratch and totally personalised with the words you want to have.

    I've got 3 coming to give to OH's parents, my mum and my dad/step mum. Frame colours and background colours can change too.

    These haven't been stuck down yet, just proofs in case you thought they were wonky! X

    As we had to consider a plane ride it was a little tricky, I would have loved to have given a rose bush.

    We bought a bracelet which was plain but with a little detail (we know they probably wont wear it again) with this charm to attach to the clasp https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B9P0Y9Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so they can remove it and still wear it again should they wish, or the other idea was to give them the fake flowers we bought as well that looked far nicer in the picture, and then use the bracelet with the charm attached in a vase like a ribbon we'd also get, but having doubts over the flowers now.

    I received flowers and a nice vase off my son with just their names and date and thank you for your help on our special day engraved. A spa voucher or beauty shop voucher is good. Jewellery. Basket of pamper stuff maybe but something to keep is nice. Engraved mirror compact.

    Thanks all, I think I am leaning towards the handkerchief and a personalised compact mirror for my mum. I think the scrabble boxes are cute, but I don't think they have the same taste as me.
