[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these gifts seem really low priced. Don’t most people spend $100-200 on parents? We spend more on parents than our kids. Last year was an iPad and airpods to both families. I can’t imagine my moms face if she opened a lottery ticket. [/quote] It depends. Our parents are at an age when they are downsizing so they don’t want a lot of things. They are even over what you too many photos. It’s not about the cost of the gift anymore. We try to visit more often and that’s plane tickets. Time together with the grandchildren is all they want. When DH’s mother needed a new reclining chair we bought it for her and said it was a Christmas present a few years back. We do stuff like this. They won’t accept help but would for something like this since we said it was a gift. So I guess we give occasional large gifts but it’s really us helping out elderly family members in a way that they will accept. [/quote]
