Penn’s parents got to the point where they forbade us to buy them any gifts or bring anything into the house. They started the family tradition of making donations in honor of the gift recipient to a favorite charity. We honored their wishes but wanted to show up on Christmas day with SOMETHING. Here are some ideas that won’t clutter the house:
Avoid clutter by upgrading a kitchen appliance. This electric kettle is so sleek and comes in some great colors. I know my mom will love the upgrade for her tea time.
I gave this gift to my parents and they love it. Warning: You may want to help them set it up. Once it’s operational, you can send new pictures that will show in the frame.
My mother-in-law is in the end stages of Alzheimer’s. It’s awful. When she was living in her own home, Penn tried to bring her flowers on visits. She loved flowers and would have loved a subscription like this.
This homemade peanut brittle is made by Penn’s uncle. I think food gifts are always safe for those who don’t want to clutter up the house. Warning: once you start eating it you won’t be able to stop.
