I'm looking for gifts for my parents.
My mom is 55. She doesn't have any real hobbies other than spending time with family and friends. She likes clothes but hates going shopping. She likes art and decorating the house.
My dad is 53. He's a fire fighter, loves baseball, likes football too. He works in our yard landscaping a lot, but I don't know if he actually enjoys it.
Both of my parents are african americans and have pretty big close families.
Any unique gift ideas? Know of some interesting places to look besides the usual walmart type places? Price is not a big concern. I'm a college student so I'm not rich but I just wanted to get them somthing nice that they'd actually like.
Answer

vaccum cleaner (my mom desperatley needs one for christmas)
bird feeders/houses or baths (my mom likes that stuff)
dvd of her favorite tv show
bodywash and body spray from bath and bodyworks (try sweet pea, secreet wonderland, snow kissed berry)
nic naks for her kitchen or living room
Dad:
bodywash and bodyspray from bath and bodyworks (they also have a line of bodywash, aftershave, and bodyspray for men. I suggest try using Oceans)

Birthday present for MIL turning 60?
amber 18
So, got any good ideas for a gift? She is going to be 60... she is a wonderful mother and gramma. She really isn't a fan of jewlery... she loves flowers but they die so quick... she is a "family" woman most of all...
thanks!
Answer
Does she like to see shows/musicals/plays? Maybe some tickets to one coming in town. Something she would like but not necessarily do for herself. They also have flower companies where you can pay for a new arrangement every month for a year- they'll be sent to her.
