Dad gets something train related as he is really getting into that hobby.
Mom usually gets something warm, sweatshirts, slippers etc as she is always cold.

This year they are also getting a pic drawn by a local artist of a photo we took before I left.

My parents are 1500 miles away, so they get a gift card to their favorite restaurant and a phone call.....

Dad (and step mom) get gift certificates to Lowes, Sears, or any restaurant they frequent. Otherwise they are somewhat ungrateful. I did get Dad a DVD player last year. I'm sure it has never been out of the box.

Mom got pots and pans last year. Not sure about this year. She is easy to buy for, yet hard. I know she will appreciate anything you give her. But I like to give her something she can use and she wants, the difficult part.

Nothing, since they're dead. But I'd just get my mom frilly socks 'n shit. Bathrobes. Soap. Smelly chick stuff.

My mother wanted a gps. She's is technologically impaired and very old fashioned. It would have been a waste of money. I had to explain to her that the only place she really goes is an hour away from her house in a straight line. And coming to visit me 6 hours away is three turns onto different highways..

Now, I'm screwed for an idea, but didn't buy her something she would never use..

I love that everyone 'needs' a GPS when they never leave the city they were born in.

You mean the fact that they gave birth to such a well rounded productive citizen of society is not enough of a present?

Pops has a pair of slacks with a matching shirt for this x-mas

Mom has a new computer desk...
