Parents love taking pictures, especially of their grandchildren. But even more than that, they love getting pictures of them that they can easily share with their friends. So why not simplify, and give them this totally awesome portable printer? A perfect present for parents, the Kodak Step mobile printer can quickly print out photos from their android or iOS device that are wallet-sized and easy to carry.
This stand-alone mobile printer is designed to print vibrant, colorful photos from a variety of sources, and it weighs just 6.6 ounces. Sending photos to the tiny printer is super easy. They simply connect their iOS or Android smartphones, tablets, and other devices via Bluetooth, and print wirelessly from anywhere within range.
With this gift bundle, they’ll get all kinds of accessories to go with their photo prints, from a tiny scrapbook to stickers, pens, and fun picture hangers to utilize their prints in a fun way.
They’ll get a free download of the Polaroid ZIP app for iOS and Android devices. With a few finger taps, they can edit photos before printing. Make sure to get them plenty of photo paper, because once they start printing, they won’t want to stop. Your mom can slip this cool printer into her purse and take it anywhere.
If your mom and dad are constantly trying to eat healthy, but between juggling work, their home, and everything else, it seems next to impossible, one great way to sneak in some goodness is with the Yonanas Frozen Dessert Maker which creates delicious desserts using bananas and other fresh fruits. The result from this machine is a soft-serve like ice cream, minus all of the preservatives and whatever the heck else those companies put in their ice cream. And, you can add chocolate to the desserts, too. They’ll love that.
Don’t you love giving your parents a gift that makes them laugh out loud, yet is actually something useful that they’ll love? It would be hard to recommend a set of sheets this way normally, but when we first got a set of these eucalyptus lyocell sheets, there was no question the packaging was part of the funny and great experience we had. We don’t want to spoil it for you or you or them, but trust us, it’s worthy.
But the packaging isn’t the only thing worthy about these incredibly cozy sheets. Out of the box, they’re kind of shimmery and we worried they’d be slippery like satin sheets. Not! These wash up a dream, and after sleeping in them, they were super soft against the skin, cozy but not hot, and they wicked away moisture from our sweaty sleeping carcasses so we never even woke up.
Key for couples as they get older, however, is the fact that as their skin gets thinner with age, cotton sheets can feel awfully scratchy. There’s no worry about that happening with these sheets. Out of the dryer, they’re incredibly soft to snuggle up in.
In the clever box, you’ll also get a sweet sleep eye pillow as well as a handy sheet bag for storage. And while they seem pricey, we think they’re absolutely worth it. Truly, they’re just great, so much so we’ve already purchased a second set for ourselves.
For an even more luxurious gift of cooling sheets, consider splurging on linen sheets.
If your parents are like mine, they are looking at downsizing, rather than getting more or bigger stuff. This nifty MiniPresso is one of our fave cool and surprising gifts for parents. It is the most compact espresso machine, yet it’s capable of making high-quality espresso, anywhere and everywhere.
The MiniPresso is hand-operated, so you don’t have any need for batteries, and it doesn’t require electric power either. Perfect for their motorhome or on camping trips, car trips, and just during the day when they need a coffee break, the MiniPresso is the perfect solution.
MiniPresso has a sleek modern design, and intuitive operation, so making their next espresso is going to be a snap. You might want to get them some good french roast coffee, so they can enjoy their delicious gift right away.
If you drink more wine than you do water, you know how difficult opening a bottle of wine can be, especially if you don’t want to get any of the cork in the wine. The Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener makes opening wine bottles as simple as pushing a button. It also comes with a foil cutter which helps cut the foil evenly for a good pour. So, you simply use the cutter to cut the foil, place the electric opener over the cork, press the down button, and your wine bottle is opened, without a broken cork (which also means you can re-cork the wine when you’re done with it).
It’s cordless and rechargeable, too – and it comes with a chiller. It’s the perfect gift for wine-os.
If your parents love to sip a fine glass of whiskey, here’s a rock-solid gift idea any people who enjoy sipping that or other spirits on the rocks, but hate it when they get watered down. These Whiskey Wedge Glasses allow them to ice up their favorite liquor, but this ice melts much slower than traditional ice cubes, so their drink retains its full flavor longer.
Sure it’s a cool gift for whiskey lovers, but design enthusiasts dig it as well, for its innovative twist on keeping drinks cold from start to finish. Each unit contains two double old-fashioned whiskey glasses and silicone molds for freezing the wedge of ice into them. A pair is the perfect gift for parents like yours.
Your parents, especially as they age, will likely become obsessed with the weather. Often if they’re retired, they want to keep tabs on what’s coming so they can plan their outdoor activities like rounds of golf, or hikes and picnics. This smart weather station makes a great gift that will keep them informed and intrigued.
WiFi-enabled, this weather station lets them monitor current weather conditions and accurately predict what’s to come. The large display screen delivers data, from temperature and humidity to sunrise and sunset, as well as wind speed and direction, rainfall, barometric pressure, moon phases, and more.
Once you help them set up their outdoor weather station, it transmits to their indoor display, keeping them in the know 24/7. You can also help them get set up as an official reporting station with AmbientWeather.net so their system sends real-time updates.
This crazy cool little gift idea is perfect for parents who love to take road trips, because this mini-fridge is small enough to sit on the console and it plugs right into the car cigarette lighter. Big enough to keep six 12 ounce cans cool, it also has an internal shelf, so it’s great for keeping sandwiches and snacks cold, or, if they have meds that require refrigeration, they won’t have to worry about a messy melting ice bag or cooler.
This little fridge also plugs into standard home outlets, so it can be used at home, as well as on car trips. It’s Freon free and eco-friendly. It features an easy carry handle on top and weighs in at just 4.4 pounds, so moving it from place to place is a piece of cake.
If you’ve ever looked at mom and dad’s Kindle, iPad, glasses or camera lenses, you might have noticed they need a good cleaning. In that case, a perfect gift for your parents might be a handy little cleaning kit like this, that allows them all the easy little cleaning tools to get their screens, lenses and glasses sparkling again.
This nifty kit from Altura includes an all-natural cleaning solution, lens cleaning pen, lens brush, air blower, 50 sheets of camera cleaning tissue paper, and a three pack of oversize MagicFiber microfiber cleaning cloths, so you’ll never need to worry about them taking Windex and a paper towel to their sensitive screens again.
Before refrigeration, folks kept their butter fresh by covering it with water. This stoneware butter crock from Butter Bell is a beautiful way to do the very same thing. It keeps up to six ounces of butter soft and spreadable, without refrigeration.
If mom and dad are butter lovers, this is a perfect small gift idea. To see how simply this butter crock works, you just pack the cute cup side with butter and fill the crock one-third of the way up with cold water. Then you invert the butter cup into the crock, where the water creates an airtight seal, and boom, you’ve got sweet spreadable butter all the time.
Another butter crock bonus is that airtight seal keeps their butter from taking on kitchen aromas, and the ceramic crock surface doesn’t allow the butter to permeate the vessel. If you’re looking for even more fun kitchen gift ideas for parents, the Le Creuset Salt Mill and the Le Creuset Honey Dipper are totally adorable.
Do you notice that your parents’ house often smells musty like it’s been shut up too tight? Do they, perhaps, suffer from allergies or breathing problems, or do you just want them always breathing the cleanest, freshest air possible? The AIRMEGA 300 is a smart air purifier that cleans up to 1560 square feet, or basically, their whole house.
This smarty is app enabled to work with Alexa. It monitors indoor air quality and detects when odors or other pollutants need to be swept away. It runs quietly, so they’ll hardly notice when it’s working, but it does an amazing job of eliminating cooking scents, tobacco odors, allergens and dust, all without constant monitoring and maintenance.
With a Max 2 True HEPA filter to do the major work, this air purifier captures and reduces up to 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns in the air, including pollen, pollutants, and other allergens. It also reduces more than 99 percent of volatile organic compounds and reduces other dangerous fumes.
It comes with easily washable pre-filters that extend the life of the HEPA filter. With a series of lights, it can alert them when it’s time to remove and wash the pre-filters. With side panels that easily pop off, and lighted controls on top, that little duty can be accomplished in a matter of minutes, and you’ll breathe easier too knowing you’ve helped them create a healthier home environment.
Compact, and perfect for keeping white wines and champagne chilled to exactly the right temperature, this nifty little wine cellar is a great gift idea for parents who prefer their grape juice fermented. The ideal spot for their favorite wines, the AAOBOSI wine cooler keeps their favorite bottles readily accessible.
With a 28 bottle capacity, this wine cooler is ideal for even smaller spaces as you can use it as a built-in or leave it freestanding. At just 15 inches wide, it features a seamless stainless steel door frame. The double tempered glass door makes it easy to keep tabs on your wine inventory and restock when necessary. It also allows you to consistently view the temperature settings thanks to the digital control panel. This sleek design is ideal for most modern kitchens as it coordinates well with other stainless steel appliances.
With dual cooling zones, it’s easy to set the upper and lower zone temperatures independently using the simple touch control panel. The upper zone operates at 41-54 degrees Fahrenheit and is ideal for semi-sweet wine, sparkling wines, and white wines, while the lower zone at 54-68 degrees Fahrenheit works well for storing dry and semi-dry reds as well as brandy and port. Depending on bottle sizes, you can adjust or remove the internal beechwood shelves to accommodate your collection.
A three-dimensional cooling system ensures that each corner of the wine cabinet maintains a constant temperature. Unlike many wine coolers, this one operates so quietly – at just 42 decibels, which is even quieter than normal conversation. The powerful compressor in this unit cools drinks fast so you can enjoy them sooner.
Who says the gift of lots of good nights of sleep isn’t just about the best present you could possibly give to your parents this year? They might not be sexy or showy, but this pair of pillows features cool comfort memory foam technology that keeps them, and your parents, cool and comfy all night long.
The breathable bamboo cover keeps these pillows dry and provides maximum comfort next to the skin. Plus, the hypoallergenic bamboo fiber cases help protect against dust mites, and because they’re moisture-wicking, they also resist the chance of your pillows getting mold and bacteria build-up.
These great pillows can help provide relief from many common sleeping issues including snoring, insomnia, migraines, neck and back pain, allergies, and TMJ. Because there are so many pillows that can make for a better night’s rest, check out lots more cooling pillow options.
If your parents are like mine, they hate to vacuum, especially under beds and tables. The older they get, the more difficult and uncomfortable it becomes. A wonderful gift idea for your folks is a robot vacuum. The iRobot Roomba 960 Robot Vacuum with Wi-Fi Connectivity provides a thorough clean, all over the house, all at the push of a button.
The patented, three-stage cleaning system easily picks up dust, pet hair and large debris like cereal. They can also preset Roomba to clean when it’s convenient for them, making it so easy to keep up with everyday messes, without getting in their way or becoming a trip hazard.
Roomba works on all floor types, and at just 3.6 inch tall, is specifically designed to fit under most furniture, beds and kickboards. Dirt Detect sensors alert Roomba to work harder on concentrated areas of dirt, such as high-traffic zones of their home.
Know someone who is just crazy about their pets? Do they worry when they leave them home alone? Now you can give them the ultimate connection with the Furbo Dog Camera and treat tosser. Furbo is a smart dog camera with a connected app that lets them see, talk, and even toss treats to their dog when they’re away. They can treat their dog from anywhere, with just the swipe of a button on the free Furbo iOS/Android app.
Furbo offers HD live video streaming with a 120° wide-angle camera with 720p HD, 4x digital zoom and night vision for crisp clear images of their dog.

Furbo senses when their dog is barking and sends a push notification to their smartphone.
Designed with input from over 5,000 dog parents, vets, and dog trainers, Furbo is made specifically to suit the needs of dogs and their owners. It also offers a training component, tailored to a dog’s unique visual capabilities. The Petcube is another non-treat dispensing option that offers laser light games to entertain their dog while they’re away. If all you’re looking for is a pet cam with no bells, whistles, or treat tossing, the Wansview Wireless 1080P IP Camera is a much more affordable option.
We’ve all been there in the middle of the night, trying to decipher our clock to see how much longer we can sleep in. This awesome LED Word Clock is a super cool gift idea for parents who like, or need, things that are easy to read, especially as they get older. Forget numbers, the LED Word Clock displays the time as text instead. It’s easy to set, easy to read, and a great conversation starter around their home or office.
Instead of two hands, or a digital display, the LED Word Clock shows the current time as words in bright white LED light. For example, if the time were 10:50 the LED clock would say “It is ten minutes to eleven.” At 6:25 it would say “It is twenty-five minutes past six.”
If time isn’t an issue, give them a chuckle when telling the time with the Whatever Wall Clock. If your parents are math geeks, the Decodyne Math Clock is another fun option.
Do your parents have a green thumb? Are they always out puttering or potting in the garden? This awesome tool set of horticulture helpers makes short work of garden duties. The wonderful simplicity of the easy-carry tote means they won’t be juggling tools or having to go back to the garden shed on multiple trips.
The gardener’s knee pad is a total joint saver for long afternoons knee-deep in weeds and flowers. If your parents are getting on in years, think about ergonomically hand-friendly gardening tools along with other thoughtful gifts for plant lovers.
Some of the best fatigue-reducing, power-enhancing hand pruners are made by the folks at Fiskars. And save their knees with a portable gardening seat on wheels that gives them quick access to all their tools, while reducing stooping and bending.
If you need a nifty little gift of an idea for your parents’ next special occasion, but you’re on a super tight budget, the Oxgood auto mirror covers are a great small gift idea that will save your mom and dad the time and frustration of scraping ice or washing bird poo and dust off their outside car mirrors.
Since you put their safety first, you can be sure they will have instant mirror visibility with these easy-to-install mirror covers. The pull string and security tab prevent them from being swiped by thoughtless criminals because the safety tab closes inside the door. Better yet, you won’t catch your mom or dad scraping their side mirrors with their debit cards.
I bet your dad taught you that it was important to give to those most needy. So why not show him that you’ve learned his lessons well, with this awesome dad gift? The Mission Belt is more than a luxurious leather belt that will amp up his style, he’ll feel great wearing it because it’s a belt with a cause.
The Mission Belt is an evolution in belt design, style, and function, with sleek, clean looks, and no holes to stretch or wear over time. The ratcheting belt buckle means dad’s no longer restricted to one-inch size adjustments, so he can get a perfect fit every time, especially important right after those hefty holiday meals.
But here’s the extra-cool kicker – a dollar from every Mission Belt sold goes to fight global hunger. It’s a hand up and not a handout, and your dad will love you for choosing this cool gift. For casual outdoor activities, the Mission Belt offers a nylon strapping version. This cool company even has NBA licensed belts, so dad strut his fave team logo.
It really doesn’t matter how old you are, sometimes it tough to remember where you’ve parked your car, whether it’s at a huge sporting event or just a crazy Saturday at Costco. Now the ZUS Smart Car Charger comes with a handy app to help your parents avoid those frustrating and sometimes embarrassing moments when they can’t quite remember where they parked.
ZUS is a smart car finder and USB car charger. It charges up their mobile devices at max speed, and finds their car with the companion iOS/Android app. It’s one of the coolest gift ideas for parents who are on the go and need to charge their devices. We also love this app, because it alerts your parents when their parking meter is about to expire, preventing them from ever getting another parking ticket. Sweet.
If your folks only misplace their wallets and keys, the Tile finder system might be right for them.
There’s nothing more important than keeping your parents safe, and any time is the perfect time to give them a gift that will offer them safety and peace of mind. The Nest Protect looks for fast-burning fires, smoldering fires, and carbon monoxide.
It can tell your folks exactly where the danger is and alert their phone in case they’re not home. It has an industrial-grade smoke sensor, can be hushed from your phone, tests itself automatically, and lasts up to 10 years. You wouldn’t want your parents to put up with a rotary phone or a black and white TV, so why not get them a safety alarm that does more than chirp at 2 AM.
Nest Protect can even light their way at night, which could be a lifesaver. The Nest Learning Thermostat is another one of many smart home gift ideas for parents. It automatically learns the temperature they like and reacts accordingly.
It comes in this battery-powered three-pack as well as individually.
One thing is for certain, you want to keep your mom and dad healthy for the long haul, so giving them a gift that can help accomplish that is a pretty stellar find. Fermented foods are among the healthiest things humans can eat, and with the Pickle Pipe, now they are some of the easiest to make, right at home.
Your mom and dad can start making their own sauerkraut, real pickles, kimchi and other fermented foods, without the hassles and costs of traditional pickling methods. These nifty jar toppers simply screw onto mason jars with the standard jar ring.
How does the Pickle Pipe work? As food ferments, it releases carbon dioxide in the mason jar. If not properly vented, the jar can actually explode, but opening it exposes food to mold-causing oxygen and other contaminants. The Pickle Pipe vents gas as needed, without letting anything in to spoil food.
This gift might get your parents experimenting with all kinds of fun, new food treats. Just be forewarned, you’ll likely be asked to taste whatever they’re fermenting, so be sure to give them a great food fermenting recipe book before they put you to the test.
These super high-powered binoculars from Bushnell will make stargazing, bird watching and scenic landscape viewing so much more fun. This great gift for your parents offers the perfect opportunity for them to stop and enjoy life and all the beauty that surrounds them. With 10x magnification and 50mm objective diameter, these binoculars deliver a 300 foot field of view at 1,000 yards.
They’re also easy to use, with less shaky images, and a more steady view. Bushnell’s excellent multi-coated optics guarantee superior light transmission and brightness. These binoculars offer a patented, one-touch insta-focus system that holds subjects in sharp focus. Rubberized and abrasion-resistant, they can handle your parents, even when they play hard.
If your folks are more stargazers than travelers, a home telescope is another fun option to enhance their view of the world.
If your folks hours in the kitchen chopping and slicing vegetables for fancy presentations, and special dinners, give them the gift of time, with this awesome Maxam Vegetable Chopper. This cool kitchen gadget enhances any meal with precisely cut and chopped veggies for so many different dishes, from salads to lavish fruit tarts.
This kitchen utensil saves time and money at the grocery store. You know how expensive pre-cut produce is, and it loses lots of nutritional value before they even get it home to the fridge. This vegetable chopper is easy to use and will cut food waste while speeding up food prep chores.
With five stainless steel cones included, it can handle all manner of slicing and chopping chores. This set includes: a shredder, a stringer, a french fry cutter, a sliver, and a waffler.

The vegetable chopper features a professional three-leg suction cup base for a firm and stable grip on either a table or the counter.
The heavy-duty chrome finish shows high quality. And for super easy clean-up, the cones are dishwasher safe. Another fun kitchen gift for parents would be a culinary carving tool set. And if your mom is like mine, she probably has an ancient garlic press. Get her a great garlic press that doesn’t require peeling the garlic cloves.
The best way to avoid cuts in the kitchen is with the sharpest knives on the planet. This Damascus steel carving knife is a gorgeous addition to their knife collection. With an eight-inch blade, it can tackle large cuts of meat and more difficult cutting chores with ease. It has a high carbon steel core to make it tough and durable, and a razor-sharp edge to slice through the toughest things like butter.
The beautiful wood handle is ergonomically designed to be easy to handle, and it’s adorned with three metal mosaic rivets that add to its beauty. Perfect for mincing, slicing, and chopping vegetables, and slicing meat, this beefy tool can also be used to disjoint larger cuts of meat as well.
If George Clooney and Danny DeVito are convincing enough to make you buy a Nespresso machine, perhaps Christmas will compel you to give this awesome gift to someone on your list. As the pioneers of single-serve coffee, Nespresso, introduces the VertuoLine Evoluo with an all-new design. It offers freshly brewed coffee with crema as well as delicious, authentic espresso, and the Evoluo machine conveniently makes two cup sizes, an eight ounce coffee, and 1.35 ounce espresso, at the touch of a button.
The VertuoLine Evoluo coffee maker delivers a perfect cup of coffee time after time, thanks to Centrifusion, a patented extraction technology developed by Nespresso.

Echo Studio provides hands-free voice control to local news and weather, as well as Pandora, Spotify, and more. It can also let them enjoy their favorite audiobooks while relaxing nearby. If this smart speaker seems a bit too complex for your folks, get them the smaller, and somewhat less complex Echo.

Each beautiful bottle can be labeled creatively and, once filled, be presented as special handmade gifts for any occasion. The metal clamp and stopper make for an extra elegant presentation tableside, or on the kitchen counter. The no drip seal makes them one of my favorites.
Make them extra easy to fill with an Oxo bottle strainer and funnel set, that lets her easily pour without mess and strain out the pulp from fruit or herb infusions.

If your parents seem to have everything, they could always use a little greenery around their house. This pretty succulent planter set would be lovely, especially if you delivered them pre-planted with some cute hens and chicks, cactus and other succulents. (Because they’re not included with the planters.)
The design fits perfectly into a home filled with midcentury modern decor, but the planters would also look awesome in an oversized bath, den or living room area. The white ceramic bowls set inside beautiful acacia wood stands, and your parents will be thrilled to discover that this wood is harvested sustainably and is supremely renewable.
One of the biggest challenges when dealing with the everyday shuffle is to find time to be healthy — it’s impossible. So often, we find ourselves in the drivethru line because we let time slip away and simply didn’t have time to make ourselves breakfast in the morning. Unless, of course, you know some tricks to save you some time! One great way to sneak veggies and fruits in is with a Nutri Ninja Pro, a 900 watt nutrient & vitamin extractor that will enable her to make great fruit and veggie smoothies that taste great. It also will allow her to make delicious frozen treats, dressings and allows her to mash up veggies so they’re nearly liquified so you can sneak them into your cooking. But it can also be a time-saver, for sure. Preparing a freezer filled with pre-made smoothie mixes of fruit and veggies that she can just pop into the Ninja every morning to drink on her way to work couldn’t be easier.

We can’t say for sure, but we’re pretty certain they call this the diamond wall clock because it looks like an impressively expensive timepiece, despite its affordable price. Since we know your parents are worth a million to you, it’s a sweet way to express that sentiment.
This novel-looking clock features chromed metal rods and a brushed chrome clock face. The rods are set with faux diamonds of impressive size, which makes it look like a million bucks. With easy-to-read black hands, we like the fact that this clock features large numbers a 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock mounted on some of the metal rods. It would cool in any kitchen, bath, or bedroom, even if your folks’ design style isn’t mid-mod.

If your parents love to sit out in their yard, but they’re not big on doing a bunch of landscaping, you can beautify their space with some lovely garden sculptures.
This pair of herons would make a perfect focal point in a raised bed, or draw attention to some tall native grasses. At 48 and 47 inches respectively, these herons are quite lifelike, with both looking calm and graceful in their pose.
These beauties are made of textured and layer metal and have been handpainted with a verdigris finish. The thick legs and design of the feet make them stable, and they come with U-shaped hooks to keep them staked to the ground.
Editor’s Note: I have the bronze herons in my own yard, and they get many admirers passing by on the trail out back. They’ve been through, snow rain, and wind, and still look as beautiful as the day we set them out.

If you’re looking to get your mom a spa treatment as a gift, consider instead getting her a skin treatment she can use regularly at home instead. The Tria Age-Defying Laser is a clinically proven, FDA-cleared, fractional laser that treats multiple signs of aging on your entire face. The laser stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to diminish multiple signs of aging, for a more youthful, radiant, and refreshed look in as little as two weeks.
This anti-aging device works by sending targeted beams of light deep within the skin to support natural collagen production. As new collagen forms, fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections are naturally sloughed away, visibly reducing their appearance.
This laser uses the same fractional laser technology as professional in-office treatments and is a more effective anti-aging solution than creams or serums alone. This skin laser literally treats your skin from within, as beams of light penetrate to create microscopic zones of cellular disruption.
Your skin will feel warm, but the surface is left undisturbed. It stimulates your body’s natural healing process, to rapidly heal the treated areas. Used before bed, you can target those hours when your skin is at the height of its healing process – during sleep.
While we know this is a bit of an investment, there are wrinkle removers available at every budget level.

Who says your parents don’t want great-looking skin? If you’re thinking about Christmas, their birthdays, or any other special day, The FOREO Luna Mini 2 might be the perfect gift for them. It can literally rejuvenate their skin which makes it the perfect cleansing option to splurge on. This silicone brush does more than simply spread the soap around their face. It exfoliates and deeply cleanses with eight different intensities and three different zones of brush thickness.
It will help to unclog pores, remove makeup, and give skin a healthy glow. It’s also good to know that the silicone bristles are naturally antibacterial, so it’ll be fine if they both use it. They easily rinse clean, so they won’t get goopy and gross with lots of use. Facial cleansing brushes get your skin much cleaner than using your hands or a washcloth, and they also increase blood circulation. That’s key for cell turnover, which means younger-looking and more luminous skin.
