you can always buy them a gift certificate to a really nice restaurant. That way they can have a nice night out and not cost them anything.

Some inexpensive ideas are handy little key chains (I got my parents lock de-icer key chains for about $4), scratch off lottery tickets, funny little magnets about stuff that they're interested in (politics, cooking, etc), practical things like pens, post its, chapstick, candles. I also saw this idea to take plastic spoons and dip them in melted chocolate, then when you put the spoon in hot milk, it makes hot chocolate. My mom likes to use them in her coffee. Of course you can also put nice chocolates in their stockings.

A sweater or top only a mother would love.\nClothes of any kind they are a necessity year round so to get them for Christmas or Birthday it just ruins the ideas we guys have about plasma tv's and computers and videogames and other big toys so if you reading this remember us men are kids at heart and the only thing that changes as we age is the size and expense of our toys.  Good Luck Shopping.

You sound like such a thoughtful person! You also seem very well-spoken. You should write her a poem or a nice letter telling her why you appreciate and love her. You could make a frame for it, or if you have a tiny bit of money, you could buy a premade frame at a craft store for under $3 and decorate it.\n\nYou could also take a picture, or have a picture taken of you and siblings/pets/dad/other important family member.\n\nI am almost 26 and my mom still prefers the handmade gifts, even when I have money to buy her something nice.

Bring wine for the father and get something else for the mom like a box of chocolates or something.  Nothing too personal but a token gift. If you bring flowers for the mom, she'll be charmed.

Tell them to surprise you because if they give you money, you're going to turn around and spend it on your son or your bills. I am in the same situation. I am so wrapped up in my children and with paying my bills, I couldn't tell you for the life of me what I want. The best gifts are things you would never buy yourself. For me, those things are:\n\n  Journals, Book Sets, perfume, new sneakers, scrapbooking supplies, a night out in lieu of gift certificates to the movies or to dinner. They also make gift cards for like blockbuster and that would be nice for you and your boyfriend. \n  Other ideas are candle sets, bath sets, pajama sets, a certificate to the hairdresser. \n\n   Amazon.com has the best gifts to send too. I saw this retro candy gift set that actually looked like something I would want. Here is the link:

movie basket is a great idea. Get a couple of movies they like some microwave popcorn, soda, and some candy. Or you can do a date night basket with movie tickets, resturant gift card, theater tickets or what else your parents enjoy like bowling or miniture golf.

Put together a video of their lives. My mother did that for my grandparents using scanned photos from their entire lives and made a really touching slideshow video. If you don't have the time for that try to get him something that applies to a hobby of his.

If she has grandchildren get a t shirt and material paints and have them leave handprints with their names on them. \n\nMake up a scrapbook with photographs of your childhood up through your adulthood. If you have any brothers or sisters do the same with their pictures \n\nOR you can even have a dvd personalized with the photos going from birth up to current. \n\nAt that age, they love the memories and the happy times. \n\nHave a nice dinner for her with roses and a nice cake. \n\nMake the day extra special for her. Do some chores for her. Make her queen for the day. :)\n\nOh Yes, Happy Birthday to your mother. :) \n\nFrom Michelle and her kitty Gunther. :)

A great book would be a wonderful gift! Even magazines and other reading material, I think he'd enjoy. Stuff that they can really use. Even stuff like batteries are great because there are limited places they can buy that stuff for their personal use.\nPs. If you have any further questions, you can email me, if you'd like.\n*Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention... also phone cards! That's always a great gift! Or a portable DVD player (if you want to spend that much money).

This actually made me think of what my mom did for me once when I was about 37 years old and very stressed with working full time and raising kids.  She sent me a birthday card with a dollar in it.  She put a note in it about knowing how much I loved to get a card with $1 (referencing back to my childhood).  It made me laugh, and it made me feel really good.  \n\nI think maybe that is what you are trying to do with the seniors -- make them feel the joy of just getting a bag of goodies and having a good time, letting go of all the stress they've been generating all year.  Cool idea.\n\nMaybe a "Feel the Memories" kind of theme?  Not remember, but feel.  Goodie bags conjure up good feelings from the many birthday parties of childhood.  Have a cake.  Maybe first grade pictures of all the seniors, with a "guess who?" contest.  Play music from the 1994 - 2000 timeframe.  Have a dance contest.  Let them feel young.
