“Parents are the only ones obligated to love you; from the rest of the world you have to earn it”. As you grow up from a toddler to a teenager, you realise that this is so true. Your mom and dad are the only ones who care for you, support you and give you what you need irrespective of whether you deserve it or not. They have applauded you, encouraged you and showered all their blessings on you without expecting anything in return.

Now, you have grown up from that naughty, little kid to a young lad who is capable of taking care of himself as well as his parents. It is time to pay regards to your parents for all the love and care they have shown to you. What could be a better way than gifts to express your love and gratitude for them? However, the gifts need to be special that touches their heart and embeds in their memory as a symbol of your love.

Here are few ideas regarding the best gifts suitable for your parents:

  1. Share their responsibility

Your mom is the one to wake up first and retire the last in bed. She remains busy in taking care of you, your siblings and other family members. Cleaning the house, preparing food and washing clothes are her daily chores and she does them without any complaints. As a good son or daughter, share her responsibility of cleaning the house, your room at least. You can make up your bed, clean all the mess in your room and take care of your possessions yourself. Indeed, this would be a great help to your mother who would like her child to be self dependent.

  1. Help your mother with her daily chores

Besides cleaning the house, other daily chores also keep your mother engaged. Help her with all you can like cleaning utensils, serving food on the dining table, taking care of your health etc. This would save her hours and she can spend quality time with you and other family members.

  1. A dinner cooked with your hand

Your parents don’t expect you to be a master chef and cook delicacies for them. In fact, they don’t want this for themselves, but, just expect you to be adept in basic cooking skills; so that you can help yourself when they are not around. So, why not surprise them with your mouth watering dishes? A simple vegetable sandwich with a cup of tea or rice with dal would suffice for the purpose.

  1. Photo collage

A fun and easy gift for your parents, a photo collage would refresh all their old memories. Collect all family photos, pictures of special occasions and any vacations you might have spent together. Arrange them like a collage and get it framed from a photo shop.It is a valuable gift for parents to keep nice memories of family bonding intact and remind them of your love for the family.

  1. Beaded key chains

Utilise your crafting skills to make beaded key chains for your beloved parents.The keys of the locker, cupboards and car need to be kept safe and handy in the house. You can contribute by making lovely key chains from waste materials like pipe cleaners and beads. It would be a memorable gift for parents every time they pick up the keys off the counter.

  1. Art pillows

Kick start your creativity by designing pillowcases for their bedroom. You can use hand prints in various colours or write love quotes expressing your feelings for them. The art can be extended to design and decorate coffee mugs, dinner plates, and flower vases. This would give an entire new look to your home decor.

  1. Hand printed aprons

Your love for art and your mother can be expressed by transforming her dull, boring kitchen apron to a colourful accessory. You might be having more ideas to gift your parents but what they actually want is just love and respect from you, and that you take your academics seriously so as to fulfil your career dreams. 

“Love your parents. We are so busy growing up we often forget they are also growing old”.
