One of the hardest people to shop for, at least for me, are parents! Whether it be your own parents or your in-laws, this category can be tricky to shop for. I like to try to think of gifts ideas for parents in terms of something they really need, that they won’t necessarily get for themselves. Usually it’s something for the house, but other times it may be a “treat yourself” kind of gift, like a massage. One of my favorite finds this year for parents is this battery organizer. I mean, does anyone have an organized way to store batteries? When I saw this, I knew immediately it needed to go on this gift guide.

There are many more gift guides on the blog so be sure to check them out here. Have you decided what you’re getting your parents this year? Let me know in the comments below. I’ll be sharing more gift ideas on my Instagram stories so be sure to follow along there!

Gift Ideas for Parents

1. Battery Daddy Caddy: I got this for my parents and in-laws last year as a partial “funny gift” and also because what household has an efficient way to organize batteries? Both my parents and in-laws loved this gift. We actually bought one for ourselves too. It’s the best and makes life way more organized.
2. Yeti Cooler: Yeti is the best of the best and everyone can use a cooler. If your parents like to travel or even host during the summertime, this Yeti cooler will be a hit.
3. Custom Blanket: This custom blanket from Etsy is such a special gift. If your parents have a dog or pet that is special to them, have it custom made onto a blanket that will be a staple in the living room. Even for a keepsake, it’s such a special gift.
4. Air Fryer: Air fryers are so useful for people who cook and people who don’t cook. You could even pair it with an air fryer cook book. This one has 81,000 reviews!
5. Pasta Maker: If your parents have a Kitchen Aid Mixer, search for an attachment that you think they’d like. I got my dad the pasta maker attachment but there are so many others to choose from!
6. Wine Aerator: Any parent that loves wine will love a gift like this.
7. Neck Massager: This massager has over 9,000+ reviews positive reviews on Amazon and I’ve heard a lot of really great things about it.
8. Towel Warmer: This is a luxurious gift that would be special because it’s something I don’t think a lot of people would buy for themselves, but it would be really nice to have.
9. Luggage Set: A lot of people put off upgrading their old luggage set. This is a great gesture!
10. Personalized Photo in Frame: For your parents to have as a keepsake and a special memory. I love this!
11. Stationary Bike: Help your parents get into healthier habits.
12. Wine Subscription: Sign up your parents for a couple months of a wine subscription at Winc.
13. Amazon Echo Show: This is a great way to connect with family when you don’t live nearby. Check for it to go on sale (it happens often!)
14. Essential Oil Diffuser: Great for aromatherapy and a fun hobby to learn about essential oils and the benefits.
15. Barefoot Dreams Blanket: The blanket that everyone talks about that is incredibly soft. You can never go wrong with a gift like this. Many color options!
16. Personalized Mug: Parents and in-laws love to have personalized items, especially of people they love. If you have a child or a dog, or if they have a dog, customize a mug with their face on it!
17. Coasters: A gift that you can never go wrong with. These ones are pretty!
18. Cheese Board: This is just a really pretty gift for anyone. I love this idea, especially if the person loves to host.
19. Cook Book: This is one of my personal favorite gifts to give and receive. They look so pretty displayed too!
20. Private Chef/Cooking Class: This is such a good gift idea! If you research the area and find a chef that will come cook for a date night/private lesson, it’s a really unique way to celebrate!
