What is the last gift you bought one of your parents?

I sent a bouquet of flowers to my mom on mothers day.

I've given my dad a japanese design bowl because he eats in a bowl and use chopsticks while my mother, I've given her play cards because she loves to play and sometimes know how to read them but I don't. Oh, how I wish I know how to read them too. Well, that's what I've given them last christmas.

My dad passed away a few years back, but my mom was here last summer and the last gift I bought for her was a handbag right on the day she was going back home. She was complaining that the shoes and the purse didn't match, so on my way back from work I found a nice one that did match the shoes and bought it for her.

Sad but the last gift I brought to my mother was a couple of doughnuts & some blueberries. Seems odd but my mum is in a nursing home & she only wants foods they don't serve in the nursing home like sweet treats & FRESH fruit. As far as anyone goes they had additional markdowns on toy clearances @ k-mart a few weeks ago So I bought my girls their b-day toys & a gift for a party they were attending.

I bought tickets to a Broadway show for my mom. She will be 81 this year and is still going strong. I am as old as your Dad!!! LOL

I haven't give my parents anything. Shame on me. I only give them a little money every month. It kind weird that my father can speak or ask money from me, but not from my brothers. My father or mother ask me money not because they don't have money, but because they know their only daughter will give it not matter what. still I love them vvery much

hey, thats very creative! my dad passed away in early february so i guess the last present i got my mom was her birthday. i didnt even buy her anything for mothers day (she bought a plant, i need to give her money for that)! her birthday is in january and we got her a gift certificate for chapters/indigo (its the canadian version of barnes and noble).

My parents are gone...but when I was on vacation I bought my friend a plate holder for her walls. She is just redoing her kitchen and had mentioned that she wanted one as her cupboard hardware is black wroth iron...so I found one in Wisconsin...I gave it to her last night! I got a big old hug!

Though they haven't gotten the gifts yet, I just bought my Mom the Harry Potter Scene IT game, and my Dad and old Laurel and Hardy video. Needless to say, Mom likes Harry Potter a lot, and Dad really likes the old comedies. I live far enough away from them that I try to send things for them and my brother all in one package. I have a hard time keeping these little surprises from my Mom though, no sooner did I buy the gidts, I was on the phone telling her about them!

Happy birthday to you Dad! That is so nice of you. It is a very nice gift. I am very poor in choosing gifts. The last gift I got for my parents is sari for my mother. Saree is a five and half meter cloth which women wear in India. She liked it. My dad has asked me for a watch. I have to get a good watch for him. Your discussion reminded me about that. I will do it for his next birthday.

The last gift I bought my parents was free evening out on the town. I paid for the expensive meal at the fancy restaurant, tickets to the concert that featured their favorite musicians, and motel room to...I didn't get them a motel room. I was thinking about it, then I went blind for about thirty minutes after getting a mental picture of what they would do in there. *shutter* The horror!

Since last Christmas my mom decided not to give gifts to eachother but to the kids only and send the money to charity instead. Thus, I am having a hard time remembering what gift I gave last. I honestly cannot remember the last gift I have given. I remember having a hard time thinking what to give them since they have everything already.

MY mother is 65 years old. She finds difficulty in cooking . For that reason i bought her new pressure cooker for cooking freely on her birthday last month. May be this is not worth full gift. But it makes her happy.

That was a very thoughtful and practical gift! The last gift I bought my Mom is a Heart-Shaped Bamboo plant in a TerraCotta box. She just moved into a "senior" home, (not a nursing home), and she has the best plant windows in her apartment. Bamboo is for "Good Luck", or so I've been told, and it looks really cute in her new place! My dad's no longer here, but the last gift I gave him was a universal remote, which he really loved, and I was glad for him to have it.

I made mom a picture with sequins for xmas, and gave her some chocolate for mother's day. Mom doesn't need things, as she is in the health care center - read - nursing home. http://www.herrschners.com/Product/Hummingbirds+Sequin+Art+Wall+Hanging+Kit.aspx what I made for mom.

Both of my parents have passed, but the last thing I gave Mom was dinner out for her 92nd birthday at Applebees. She thoroughly enjoyed it. The last gift I gave was today - I paid for a birthday party for my grandson because his dad is out of work and couldn't afford to do anything for his 9th birthday. So, I paid by phone for a reservation at a local Aquatic Center for a party for 8 kids and 2 adults, 2 pizzas and unlimited drinks - $75. I'm sure they'll have a great time. My son and his boys are like fish. Wish I could be there. They're in Utah and I'm in NJ. I also just sent 18 roses to my aunt in Arizona for her birthday on Saturday - they're supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I know she isn't expecting them. She just underwent a 2nd mastectomy on May 28th, so I thought she deserved something really nice for her birthday that is a total surprise! I enjoy doing things like this when I'm able to do it. I wish I could do things like this more often.

I have a gift for my grandson every week when he comes to see me. They are not anything expensive but he looks forward to see what i have him every week.

I love choosing and buying gifts for my family and friends. The last time I gave a gift was to my father on Father's Day. I gave him a shirt that I know he likes. I usually give gifts to my family during special occasions, like Christmas, birthdays, and even Valentines. I also like giving small and inexpensive gifts to my friend when I am shopping. It is the thought that counts.

The last gift I got was for my daddy on fathers day. I made him a hawaiian coffee/goody gift basket. The gift included: A gift basket with hawaiian print Basket wrapping && card. A bag of instant coffee. _couple packets of sugar && cream a hawaiian surfboard coffee mug. a box of his favorite cookies. (chocolate macadamia nut cookies) a box of his favorite candy (chocolate covered macadamia nuts.) a couple mini roasted macadamia nuts packets. && a gift card to one of his favorite stores. He seemed to like it. As a matter in fact he told me I should make gift baskets for a living. But of course making gift baskets is not for me...Anyways, as long he likes it thats all that matters. ; )

For father's day, my sister and I made our dad a strawberry Jell-o cake. Delicious! And food is always a winner.
