What is it about shopping for your parents or guardian figures that is so darn stressful? They’ve given you life, nurtured you, mentored you, so now what can you ever get them in return?! To make matters worse, they always swear up and down that they “don’t need anything,” but you know deep down that there is something out there that they could use. And for those of us whose friends or loved ones are or just became parents themselves, the line of what makes a standout prezzie can be difficult. But here’s a secret: The best gifts for parents are functional, sentimental, and can serve as a token of appreciation for all they do.
