I received a catalog from Chef's this year and I boughtca lot of good quality kitchen items from that catalog for myself, daughter and mom.
My mom and daughter love to make smoothies. I found stainless steel smoothie spoon/straws for them. Great because they'll come clean and not melt in the dishwasher.
My dad is retired and on a fixed income. I typically put a set amount on his account for utilities or send food for his freezer.
My mom and step dad are retired. My step dad lives chocolate and nuts. My mom loves bath items and candles. I found her favorite candle at Bath and Body and got her one of her favorite fragrances.
I send things they need to but fur themselves at times like a roll of stamps, Home Depot gift cards, restaurant cards.
We do send wine from the wine country magazine. I'm not find of the baskets with all the goodies. We get those yearly from suppliers and we just don't eat that stuff but I have it for daughter, friends, etc and I do use the baskets because they are the nicest part most times!!
Good luck!
We get a catalog that I think is called Wine Country. It is filled with different baskets filled with food items. You can get them with or without wine. They range in price from $20-$400. We have given them to my BIL and SIL. They really liked it. My brother and SIL always send us a gift basket of Alaskan made foods--smoked salmon, reindeer meat sticks, smoked cheese, etc. When we travel I try to find cool gifts from that area. My favorite gift from my brother last year is a Nativity set handmade in Haiti (they have been living there). I love to buy gifts from local small businesses. Things that are unique and can't be bought in big box stores.
A couple of good Cigars.
Tickets to a performance. Membership to a museum, Botanical Gardens, whatever they enjoy.
Really, Really good steaks to be grilled.
Sipping Bourbon
Really good bottle of champagne.
Subscription to a really nice magazine. "Wooden Boat" "Architectural Digest"
Gift certificates for Spa services
Massages
Spending a whole day with your dad, sister.. mom..whoever.
Beautiful sets of sheets. Bamboo are awesome.
Books on CD.
Netflix gift certificates
Have a custom Puzzle made from an old family photo..
I purchased quite a few things from a "personalized" website. I love their stuff,
Small bright LED flashlights.
Everyone has a use for them - at home, in the car, in the garage, in a nightstand - I keep a small one in my purse.
For your Mom, give her a break!
Make her a coupon book on the computer and print it out. Put stuff in it like one night off from cooking dinner. (then you cook) One day of doing dishes, or cleaning the car, basement bathrooms, babysit your brother or sister for free just to give mom a break. That kinda stuff. Put in in a Christmas card on top of some store bought chocolates.
