Gift ideas for mom and dad

Hey are you ladies giving individual gifts (one gift to your mom and one gift to your dad) or one gift to your parents? Any suggestions??

Thanks

For my mom I will be paying for her hair and makeup. For dad I'm thinking of purchasing a helicopter ride over NYC.

I think for my parents I'm going to get them tickets to a show and dinner out. The reason is that if I get them something material, I know how they are, and they'll just look at it and say 'that's nice!' and then put it down somewhere and never use it, so I wanted to give them something they'll definitely use & enjoy.
For FH's mom, I definitely want to get her some sentimental stuff (like embroidered hankie, photo frame, etc.) because she loooooves that kind of thing. For his dad, I'm drawing a blank, but we'll think of something.

My parents live in Florida so we're getting them Southwest gift cards so they can come and visit us whenever they want and then I will get a smaller gift for them each idividually. I'll probably get my mom a piece of jewelry and my dad I'm still thinking on....

Yes, my parents will have seperate gifts....They both have and have been going above and beyond - (it's just a choice)

I dont think there is anything wrong with getting them a together gift tho...

I'm getting my mom a Llardo & my Dad a Movado..

Re: Gift ideas for mom and dad

We are giving both sets of parents money. I really cant think of anything I really want to get for them. I originally was going to get a gift card to either foxwoods or mohegan sun.
Im still trying to decide.
