Good to know
Should I get my parents one joint gift or two?
One good shared gift — something for the house, kitchen, or their evenings together — usually lands better than two smaller solo gifts, and it doubles your budget.
What do parents actually want for Christmas?
Ask their appliances. The coffee maker from 2009, the thermostat they argue with, the doorbell that doesn't ring: upgrading a daily annoyance is the most-thanked category of parent gift.
