  • Unusual gift ideas for parents

    Hi

     

    Does anyone have any different gift ideas to thank parents?

    Don't want to just to traditional flowers for the mums!

    Cheers x

    We're upgrading my parents sky box to a sky+ box!! Sounds a bit pathetic.. but they'll both appreciate it!

    We were thinking something for the garden too. Luckily both sets of parents are garden people!

    Oh, rose idea nice!

    We are having cezanne roses as our wedding flowers, so i might see if i can get one of them!

    Thanks!

    Loving the rose bush idea too. Might get a nice photo frame to go with it so they can put a nice pic in from the wedding too.

    Thanks for the idea x

    Rose bushes are a great idea.  Something nice to keep.  I'm probably going to have roses in my bouquet, so if I could get the same ones, that would be really nice.

    Great idea!

    We're joing to do a nice jewellery set for the mums & a digital photo frame each for the dads.

    They've got to be something small & compact as we're getting married abroad.

    when I got married the first time we bought both sets of parents an original newspaper from the day they were married. It came in a lovely presentation box and both our parents loved them. My mum still looked at her & my dad's paper for a few years afterwards :)

    We got OHs dad a nice whisky glass and decanter set and my mum will get a journal and an engraved silver bangle. We are giving them in the morning privately.

    You can get your flowers preserved and put in things like paperweights.  I thinking of doing that
