I'm trying to come up with Xmas gifts for my grandparents, thinking of around a $50 budget. Neither of them should be driving anymore, so they should be things they can use/do at home. My grandma had a minor stroke last week and has mobility issues - we purchased a cane and walker for her, are getting house cleaning services and yard care services arranged for them (they're paying, but we're doing the arrangements). My grandpa is hard of hearing and we also just bought him a voice-to-text automatic captioning phone to replace their current landline.I'm already thinking of an easy-open jar opener, because they have one that's like 30 years old and really hard to use and neither of them is any good at opening jars anymore. But I'm thinking they're going to be bored stiff, with no house or yard work and obviously no jobs. We got my grandpa a leather-bound autographed version of Leon Panetta's memoir for his birthday earlier this year and that went over really well, he's really into history and my grandma loves Harry Potter, she has the full hardcover set, all the movies and a set of HP bookends and figurines. They really liked Planet Earth, so I'm thinking of getting them the Blu-Ray set of Planet Earth II, and maybe a puzzle with large pieces so it's easier to deal with? Any other suggestions?TL;DNR - Need in-home entertainment for old people. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/744xw1/gift_suggestions_80_and_83_yo_grandparents/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #[Gift Suggestions] My stepdad doesn't like anything!
My stepdad's birthday's coming up and I have no clue what to get him. He likes history, music, and football. He has Lupus and has a strict diet and can't go in the sun or do much exercise. He owns a jewelry store with his aunt and hates his job. He likes comedy specifically Louis CK and Jim Jeffries. In the past I've given him some American history books, a bust of Abraham Lincoln (his favorite president), a personalized guitar pick, a vr headset, etc all of which have since been lost or ignored. I'm at a loss and an about to get him some extra phone chargers and calling it a day. He's not active or techie, doesn't cook or have any kind of hobby. He's a socialist and hates Trump. Trump toilet paper was a hit a few years back. He likes to sit on the couch and watch 90 Day Fiance. What the hell do you get someone that doesn't like anything? via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/742uid/gift_suggestions_my_stepdad_doesnt_like_anything/?utm_source=ifttt
#gifts - #[Offerring] Personalized story drawing as a warm gift
Hello all, I've figured that the most pleasant and exciting gifts that were ever made for me were personalized: amazing big portrait of me which depicted my hobby and lifestyle (traveling and love for cheese), a quest, for which I was running through the whole city, finding and solving riddles that were crafted especially for me and so on.So, I did a little research and asked friends, relatives and random people about their gift preferences. My theory confirmed - all people love personalized gifts, made especially for them.That's why I decided to launch http://purpura.ink/ It's a service that helps you to get awesome personalized drawing gifts for your beloved ones. You can tell us a story, and our team will embody it in a very special, warm drawing. We're just a few days old as for now, but I already feel so good that we got a chance to help several people.Please, let me know what do you think about this kind of gifts? And thank you so much in advance! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/7428ez/offerring_personalized_story_drawing_as_a_warm/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #Looking for a gift for my wife
Hey Reddit, my wife is about to turn 32 and I'd like to give her something original. We're seriously planning to leave the country for good in the next few months and I as an expat know how sometimes you might miss your homeland. As an addition her family use to own a large construction company which dissappeared about 30 years ago so I vectorized the company logo (which is her last name) so that it can be printed onto stuff.Thanks in advance! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/740uty/looking_for_a_gift_for_my_wife/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #Gift for my girlfriend's birthday
Here's some context first: We've been together for only a month or so. She's 19, I'm 22 and we met through working together during the summer. I went back to uni a couple of days ago while she will keep working for another 10-15 days. So we don't see eachother every day but only on the weekends when I come back home from uni for a few days.Her birthday is in 20 days. Since we both like drawing and are quite talented (although my drawing skills are quite rusty due to not practicing it during the last couple of years) so I thought I'd draw something for her birthday. At first I was going to draw one of the things she likes the most, which is drawings of animals combined with nature something like this. She drew this herself. But then I thought, what if I drew a short, cute comic, or even just sketches of the past few months, including how we first met, the first glances of love, the first time I kissed her etc.. Would that be too cheesy? Or just too much, considering we've only been together for a while?Sincere thanks for any and every advice! <3P.S. I'm in love with her..very much so :3 via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/73znmi/gift_for_my_girlfriends_birthday/?utm_source=ifttt
