Top 5 Gifts for Parents & Grandparents

What to get the people who gave you everything, a.k.a. Mom and Dad? And what about the grandparents? Tough questions, we know. Our advice is to forget the standard practicalities and go for the unexpected—the sort of things you’d never think to get for yourself. No candles or gloves and definitely not another necktie. Instead, have a look at our Top 5 Gifts For Parents & Grandparents, which includes such wonders as a spectacular fresh preserved black rose and feather centerpiece, an Internet radio with killer (but easy to use!) features, and an adjustable storage stool that takes clutter and turns it into seating. Or maybe an oil lamp shadow projector that creates soft silhouettes of trees rustling in the wind? Or a set of five handsomely dressed cookbooks for the parents who enjoy cooking and decorative flourish? There’s no present in the world that adds up to all you got from these people—but these are a great start.
