Face the choice of what to give your closest people "under the Christmas tree" - we have collected the best ideas and tell you what gifts you can give parents for the New Year 2024.
Personal present or general gift
First of all, it is worth noting that creative gift ideas for parents depend on whether you plan to give mom and dad personal gifts, or you want to make one common gift that will please both parents.
A personal gift idea is good if:
- each parent has a hobby;
- mum and dad spend a lot of time apart;
- you are looking for the most inexpensive version of a symbolic present.
If this is your case, look for useful gift ideas for mom and original gift options for men in the materials of our site.
A joint (general) gift for the holiday will be appropriate if:
- you are ready to pick up a more expensive item;
- parents have many common interests (have common hobbies);
- they happily spend a lot of time together (at home, in the country, etc.).
Important! For a "joint gift" it is better to choose a really good and possibly expensive present. Giving a cheap little thing "for two" is a bad form, especially if they are parents.
Delicious gifts
Sweets and delicacies will always be relevant during the New Year holidays. If you know your parents can't afford a sumptuous meal, surprise them and have your favorite delicacies delivered.
If we talk about an original edible gift, then you can consider options such as:
- themed gift candy sets;
- handmade chocolate;
- author's natural sweets;
- set for making an alcoholic (or non-alcoholic) cocktail;
- sweets "Sweet Help" or others in cool packaging that will definitely cheer you up;
- original composition of various sweets (and maybe not only sweets);
- champagne in an unusual design (for example, under pineapple);
- a bottle of expensive alcohol in the author's design (decoupage looks very chic in the New Year theme).
Important! If your choice fell on delicious presents, try to beautifully arrange the products in the form of an interesting New Year's composition, because this will give you two pleasant moments at once - the "wow" effect from the gift itself and the joy from the treats that will be found upon its detailed examination (unpacking).
Cozy Ideas
If mom and dad no longer work and spend a lot of time together at home, then a win-win idea for the New Year 2024 is different gifts that will create coziness and comfort for parents.
- beautiful plaid;
- fancy decorative pillows;
- carpet in the living room;
- picture (as an option, a picture from a photo where mom and dad are captured together);
- digital photo frame;
- interior light box;
- floor lamp or chandelier;
- cozy chair (or rocking chair);
- electric fireplace (miniature desktop or expensive classic style);
- air conditioner;
- convector for space heating;
- air humidifier;
- bedding set;
- name robes;
- pair set of bath accessories;
- furniture (why not, if you know what parents dream of).
If parents have long stopped buying natural Christmas trees for the holiday, give them a beautiful artificial Christmas tree that can be folded compactly and quickly created to create a festive atmosphere at home. You can also add a gift with a safe garland or a set of toys.
Appliances and gadgets
Another really good but always expensive option is home appliances. Such a New Year's present will be appreciated by both mom and dad.
What exactly to choose depends on the needs of your parents, because there are a lot of options:
- TV;
- set-top box for viewing Internet TV;
- laptop for communication;
- webcam;
- classic camera for photo and video shooting;
- smartphone or tablet (especially true if parents still have old push-button phones);
- robot vacuum cleaner (the gadget is sure to arouse keen interest and delight);
- a retro radio with modern features;
- turntable (and preferably a set of music from the period of youth of the parents);
- electric kettle;
- coffee maker or coffee machine;
- digital weather station.
All for outdoor activities
Young and active parents who like to spend a lot of time outside the home, traveling and relaxing in nature, can pick up an original gift from the following list of ideas:
- picnic set;
- mat for outdoor recreation;
- light folding chairs and table;
- folding awning for arranging a recreation area;
- insect protection gadget;
- portable solar charger;
- power bank;
- thermos;
- inflatable chair or sofa (can be used both outdoors and at home);
- cooler bag (portable or car).
Presents for summer residents
Many couples with age think about purchasing a cozy country house with a small plot where you can grow organic vegetables and fruits, spending time with children and grandchildren surrounded by nature. If your mom and dad are also happy owners of a dacha and are happy to spend time on a country site, then as a gift you can offer any goods that will make their work and rest more comfortable and interesting.
Summer residents will definitely be pleased:
- a set of tools for the garden (always a useful gift);
- hammock;
- garden furniture set;
- swing for the garden (not only parents, but also your child will enjoy summer);
- cocoon chair;
- pool (size and design depends only on your financial capabilities);
- comfortable bench stand for gardening;
- compact walk-behind tractor;
- electric lawnmower;
- equipment for automatic irrigation;
- small greenhouse;
- brazier;
- cool weather vane for the house;
- garden figurines (gnome, rabbit, turtle, etc.);
- encyclopedia of the gardener;
- subscription to a thematic magazine.
For animal lovers
Important! Do not give animals (for the New Year and in general for any holiday) if a loved one has not previously asked you about it.
At the same time, if parents have a pet, then high-quality goods for caring for him may be relevant:
- bed or house;
- easy carrying;
- quality cosmetics from TOP manufacturers;
- cordless claw grinder;
- original pet toys.
Emotions as a gift
Don't know what to give your beloved parents for the upcoming New Year 2024, who have everything - give them unforgettable emotions. No matter how expensive a material gift is, a person can quickly forget about it, while vivid emotions remain in memory for a long time.
TOP 5 emotional gifts for mom and dad:
- tickets to a movie or a concert of your favorite artist;
- seasonal theater ticket;
- romantic dinner for parents;
- weekend tour or trip to a he alth resort;
- photoshoot (for two or family, with children and grandchildren).
What not to give under the Christmas tree
Older people very often need expensive medical supplies. And at first glance, the list of presents can include a wide range of really useful goods that can be quite expensive. But we recommend that parents buy everything they need from this spectrum, without tying the purchase to the holidays, because a New Year's gift should give joy, evoke positive emotions and create a mood, and not remind you of ailments that prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest.
