Buying gifts for your parents can be tough. What do you get the people who raised you into the responsible adult you've grown up to be? It's got to be something good.
We've all been told we don't have to get our parents anything special — they just want quality time or a handwritten card — but let's be real, you've still got to get them something. When shopping around, try to think outside the box and consider their hobbies: Do they travel? Are they into gadgets? Do they like doing things together?
You'll want to get them something they'll love and use, but also hopefully something that will help them connect with you (their kid) as well. If you're totally stumped, then don't worry — that's what we're here for.
We took some of the guesswork out of buying a present for your mum or dad and rounded up the best gifts, whether they spend most of their time at home or on-the-go travelling. These gifts are guaranteed to make your parents (even more) proud of you, as they brag to their family and friends that they have such an amazing kid.
These are the best gifts for parents in 2024.
