Hi all, I would like to get something valuable and meaningful for my parents on their birthdays (same month). Since I started working part-time earlier this year, I managed to save up around 1,500 and thought I should get something for my parents. They are asian and > 50. I originally wanted to get my dad a warm jacket/coat but he just bought one the other day so… Mum has lots of lotions etc and fragance so I dont think she needs more of those. Bag is nice but based on my 20 years observation she only uses them when she travels => not worth buying.
For dad: wallet? Jacket? Watch (he always admire how others wear the super premium brand and I dont think my budget can do)? He is actually over 60 so tool box will not be an option.
Mum: jewelry (no silver, always gold is best :))) Or a nice purse, shoes might do but it's hard to get the size right.
Or something simple like treat them a nice dinner?
What do you guys think?
I got my dad a tablet during last year's black friday. He seemed to be very happy with it since he wanted one and he always said that his eyesights are getting worse (Long sighted). Costed around $350~$400, never seen him that happy for a long time. Though, I think fancy dinner would've been a better investment but, my parents don't like going out for dinner.
