My parents are in their 70s and impossible to shop for. They have everything they need, and if there is something they want, they buy it.
Dad: loves to cook, is tired of kitchen related gifts. Owns every appliance, still hasn't opened the specialty foods we bought for him last year. Not big into sports, not a techie, not an athlete, buys his clothes at Costco lol.
Mom: owns every skincare product known to man, does not want anything along those lines. She likes to paint pour (?). Last year I got her a mixer for mixing pigments in paints because it was tiring to do it by hand. She's never even used it.
I'm at a loss. I don't want to get them stuff just for the sake of gifting, but I genuinely am out of ideas. I have tried buying them experiences which they usually end up not doing, language lessons that only one of them participated in, etc. Plus they are way more well off than I am so I wouldn't be able to afford something as nice as they would just buy themselves. So buying a gift certificate for a single massage, for example, wouldn't mean much for someone who gets multiple massages a month already.
Any suggestions for unusual but still useful gifts would be appreciated!
So my FIL and his wife are conservative country people. They are in their 70s. They live on a few acres. They have two dogs. Most of their days are hanging out watching TV, lots of football, occasionally drinking beer and wine.
The wife likes to garden and sew, she has made a few dresses for my daughter.
My FIL likes to make grumpy noises and the young kids and their shenanigans.
They are lovely and nice people - they just wouldn't appreciate super unique things and wouldn't want any new experiences/hobbies.
We're already doing framed pictures of the grandbaby, and we've done custom mugs for both.
