FitBit!
Health, sleeping patterns, and it even keeps time too? Show your parents a new level of connection in the technology age with FitBit or one of its competitors! The only thing is that you have to help them set it up AND show them the advantages of using it or else this gift will be for naught.
Skype/Video Conferencing Lessons & Appointments
Your parents love you and would like to see you more, and with this technological world we live in we can now make that happen more than ever before. Take the time to bring your folks up to speed, if they're not already, and set up a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly (you know your parents better than we do) appointment with them to talk. They'll love it!
Pay Some Bills!
There's nothing more shocking than figuring out you don't have to pay a bill you've already allocated money for... so why not give that satisfaction to your parents? If they're loaded & retired than this isn't for you, but if they're working and paying mortgages still I'm sure they'd love to find out that a $150 credit has been added to their cell phone bill. Besides, you're probably still on the family plan LOL!
Chromecast/Apple TV
Things to modernize your folks lifestyle is what will have the greatest affect on them; do you think your parents like looking at video's on tiny screens? No, so teach them how to stream and take advantage of how Apple & Google are bringing all of technology together under one umbrella
Bring a Phone Box
Not all the time but when it's family time do not let the phones interfere. It may seem very invasive if this were to come from the parents, but if it were to come from the child it would look as if you really care about the time you are spending with them and are completely devoted to them. You know, holiday stuff!
High Quality Stationery
Everyone has a novel - whether they choose to write it or not. Encourage your parents to reflect on life with a Thank you journal, or perhaps tell them to jot that one story down they tell all the time to capture it in all of its glory. From the things that have happened in their lives to the secret family recipes that they pass down, giving the gift of writing is giving the ingredients to self-discovery
