How to choose for parents
- Look for something both of them use, such as a speaker for the kitchen or living room rather than a personal gadget.
- If they travel together, a durable suitcase with smooth wheels and a light frame suits trips of any length.
- Pick games with simple rules and a short play time so they get pulled out during holiday visits.
- For active parents who ski together, small shared gear like goggle cases or warmers is easier to get right than big equipment.
Usually safe to skip
- Gifts that only suit one parent, which can make the other feel left out.
- Tech that needs lots of setup or apps, since it may never get used.
- Large skiing equipment in guessed sizes, because it needs a proper fit.
