12 Unique Gift Ideas For Parents

It’s the holiday season again and for a lot of us, that means trying to find a gift for parents who think they have everything they need. Most parents will tell you that they don’t need anything but your company for Christmas but you still want to get them something they will enjoy. What do you get for the parents who have it all?

Weber knows grills like Peyton Manning knows football. Their new Performer Charcoal Grill is an all in one station for grilling. From the automatic starter to the built-in counter; every feature was designed with convenience in mind. This makes it great for a mom or dad who likes to socialize by the grill and not constantly rush back and forth.

Something as simple as a new serving tray is not something that most people would think to get themselves. But this natural looking wood tray from Mary Jurek Design’s Helyz collection will make them smile. Better yet, vendor sites guarantee that this tray is unbreakable.

If your parents like to have wine with dinner...or by itself, a wine rack that will keep wine close at hand would be a great gift. Wine Logic’s wine rack installs into a kitchen cabinet and holds over 15 bottles of wine on sliding shelves. Though it is made to be tucked away, it still has a custom, high end look.

While horseshoes is the classic outdoor toss game, it can tear up grass within minutes. This bean bag game is a good alternative. If you are handy, you can add a personal touch by making the game yourself and painting it with your parents in mind.

Maybe your parents prefer a beer with dinner instead of wine. It may seem difficult but with the proper directions and supplies, anyone can brew a good beer without much effort. It can become a lifelong hobby. Just don’t let them blame you if they start spending a lot of money on more equipment.

A coat rack may seem like an odd gift, but it can be a nice addition to an entryway. This tree branch shaped coat rack has a modern look and will not take up too much room.

Nintendo may not produce the top selling video game systems anymore, but they still make the best games for groups to enjoy. If your parents like to have people over, this is a great party activity. The Wii also doesn’t take much effort to learn, making it great for all ages.

Have your parents been sleeping on the same mattress since you were a kid? This year, you can buy them a gift that will provide them a lot more comfort than that old thing. Memory Foam Mattresses are very comfortable and easy to get use to.

Do your parents still have their old vinyl records? Give them a way to listen to them again. This turntable will allow them to listen throw modern sound systems and even record their records into mp3s.

A great gift for active parents is a yearly membership to a neighborhood gym, botanical garden or theater. Another option would be to get them a Sam's/Costco Membership. This will keep them on the go as much as they want.

A great gift for parents who like to read is a tablet reader. This Kindle Fire will also allow them to connect in certain ways on the internet as well. They will be able to simply download books instead of trying to find them at the bookstore.

Buying your parents a tree is a great gift and when it is planted, will be a fun activity for the whole family. You can buy them any type of tree that will fit their personality or choose a pear tree for the Christmas spirit.
