so while everyone is making threads about what they should get...i could use some suggestions for what you guys are getting your parents. Yes for some of us we have to drive to the mall on our own and buy our parents gifts...If any of you guys have anything planned post it here...

CDs are always good, but i usually burn em'
or do something nice for the rents, often parents dont want any more stuff, but they would appreciate you taking them out for a day of their favorite activiy or something
or if massage certificates (for your mom...unless your dads a shady, shady man and hes down with the happy ending shit) or something

oh man, we're going all out for my mom. so my mom loves the finger lakes area in NY, so my sister came up w/ this idea to reserve a room at a bed and breakfast in the finger lakes region for a weekend for my mom and her friend (whose kids are also in on this and paying for their mom to go). we found a really nice bed and breakfast and it's a little pricy, but whatever. i just hope it doesnt fall through. once i talk to my sister and go over ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING so that there's no possible chance of this falling through at all, then we're going to book a room.

go Coach for your mom, its the least expensive of the designers. they always have really cute gloves and scarves. even their purses arent that bad. except for the Scribble line. fucking hideous.
my mom's dream in life (since she started drinking more) is just to own a bag of loose diamonds and rubys and whatever, so my dad is gettgn her one. how cute is that?
