Duel Gifts for Mother's and Father's Day

Mother Day is coming up and Father's Day is not far behind. Here are some suggestions for duel gifts for both parents on their special day.

On Father Day weekend there is the big festival upstate called Clearwater. This is an easy day trip on Metro North and a great chance to hear some music from the great Pete Seager. Go to the website www.clearwater.org for details on this environmental and music festival. Go with the whole family and take some great pictures of the Hudson Valley. This is great opportunity to hear great music that will suit everybodies taste. You can even go up early on camp as a family for the weekend.

You can give both your parents a duel present like a gift certificate for Jet Blue airlines. For the parents who like to gamble get them bus tickets for Atlantic City. For their trip you can buy them some great novels to read while they are traveling.

If your parents love chocolate make a chocolate themed gift basket. For example, you can put in Chocolate pudding, a chocolate themed umbrella, some chocolate cookies, buy them chocolate colored sweater and get some Godiva chocolate liquor. You can even give your parents a chocolate Labrador dog to keep them both companies. You can make other baskets too like a flavored coffee basket or a tea basket with sconces. Be creative and don't just buy a pre-made basket. Let the basket show your creativity and your love for your parents. Plus it is cheaper and you will get a bigger basket for less money. The thing that you should spend extra on is the making of this basket of your parent's favorite things.

Make them a photo collage of their old neighborhood or take some of their old slides and convert the slides to digital film. Also make an album that shows your parents on how they changed throught the decades.

Buy them a gift certificate to a gourmet grocery store that they normally may not go to buy their groceries. Let them eat like a king and queen. Buy them a good wine to enjoy with their dinner. Also, you buy them a membership to Costco.

If they both like beer or cheese or cakes then look into getting them enrolled in a montly food club where they will receive a diffierent food item each month.
