Your parents have done the best they can do in raising you. Parenthood doesn’t come with a handbook or a map, but they’ve loved, cared for, and praised you at every opportunity. You’re their whole heart, and that comes with chances to show how much you appreciate, admire, and love who they are. We’ve composed a list of gifts for parents – some unique, some scientific, some sappy, but all full of love since you’re the gift giver. Express how much you adore your parents with a present that’s both meaningful and uplifting. We’ve got something here for every kind of mom and dad

If your parents have always been a little mystical and whimsical, give them the moon. In phases. These ceramic mugs keep coffee hot for an hour or more, so your mom and dad can finish their cup of joe before nightfall.

Those UV rays can be a killer on the eyes. Give your parents the gift of sight with light-blocking glasses that shield them with shade. Trendy too, so mom and dad can spruce up any outfit.
