Special Occasions for Parents

[lavender]

I'm trying to think of something fantastic to do for my parents. The last few months, since Thanksgiving, my parents have continually demonstrated what amazing people they are. I owe them so much gratitude.

I am trying to think of a few ways to thank them. I know that most of them should be simple and just from the heart, but I wanted to know if you knew of any special things that you might think are good little Thank Yous to your parents.

okay this might be pitiful but my mom (before she spent all her money on her *own* hot tub) loved to go to this place in town and sit in one of their hot tubs for hours - you'd rent the room and (I found out when i was an adult most people had sex in there) relax until your time was up.

A gift certificate for your parents to some such place might be appreciated. or a gift certificate to dinner at a nice restaraunt - small things to get them out on the town together. that would be nice.

When my daughter was home from college at Christmas break she brought me a beer and washed my car. I lubs dat kid!

But umm.. Just send them a nice card saying "Thanks for everything!" every now and then. Parents eat that shit up. You'll probably find it framed and hung on the wall the next time you go to their house.

Nothing says you really care like cash.

A new 911 for the folks with a satchel of loot in the boot ought to just about even things up!

It wouldn't even be the tip of the iceberg, actually.

Make a nice dinner for them. Decorations, candles, wine...put your own time and effort into doing something nice for them.

I gave my parents a weekend stay at the Fantasyland Hotel at West Edmonton Mall.. one of the fancy ass theme rooms. My mom was actually worried because I really couldn't afford the $320 hotel bill.. and she of course is right, I couldn't really afford it. But for once this Christmas I wanted to do smething very nice for my parents who always seem to be a phone call away from helping me out when needed.

(Something tells me though my mom won't stop bugging me about it now until she is able to pay half that back to me.. Gotta love parents.)

What's so difficult is that my parents interests are so diverse. I could buy them some great tickets to one event. My mom would be thrilled. My father would want to throttle me.

They really have little in common, except for their children. I think I'm going to focus on that.
