Just wanted to see what the BEST Christmas present you bought your mom or dad? I know if you are like me it's hard to think of what they need or want, so I was just curious.

 

puppy for my old man who lives alone.

 

A Colt Python for my Dad.

Rosary Beads purchased at the Vatican in Italy for my mom.

 

Me and my brothers went in on a Grandfather Clock for my mom. When my father was alive we gave him money to go by himself another gun for his collection.

 

I used to buy my dad tools to work on machinery at the farm. The year before he passed I bought him a pair of Carhartt coveralls. He wouldn't work in them, they were his "going to town" coveralls. A couple of years later my mom gave them to me. I wore them up to this year (8 yrs), but now I'm too fat to zip them up easily!

 

I buy dad alot of tools , since i lost or broke most of his when i was a kid , i buy him good stuff too, MAC , snap on , etc.

I bought them a gift certificate for a 2 night stay at a really cool resort/getaway spot which isn't really far from home , but it gave them a chance to get away from it all for a few days , at no cost to them.

 

I don't buy presents. Unless they're for a young women as part of a hopeless and ill-inspired quest towards failure...

 

This year

Browning top of the line gunsafe, all the bells and whistles, holds 40 rifles.. only problem was unloadin the darn thing from the trailer and putting it where it goes..

Usaly I dont get them much. Ime not good at picking out gifts. This year they are getting there first grandchild. They will find out when they open there presents wich are shirts that say grandpa/grandma. Should be interesting.

 

Congrats!! Babies are wonderful!

 

The only gift my father has ever appreciated was tools. He still has a new cell phone and GPS unit sitting in their original boxes from the 2 previous Christmas.

 

last year we gave my parents new carpet throughout their house.
