If your parents are anything like mine, they are pretty practical people that really only use practical items! They could also be grouped into “the hard to shop for” category! Haha. So i’ve rounded up some gift ideas for both this year!

Gift ideas for parents

  1. Caraway Cookset — Chances are your parents have had the same cookware for the last 20-30 years! Surprise them with this beautiful upgraded non-toxic version!

  2. Wonder Oven — Make their meal times even easier these days after all those years of cooking for you ;) And gift them this cutie conveniently-sized, countertop-worthy appliance that can air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat, and broil!
