17 Creative Gifts That Make Shopping for Your Parents a Breeze

Gifts for Parents

Shopping for your mom or dad can be a challenge. Many parents instruct you “not to get them anything,” and those that will accept a gift already buy themselves everything that they want. Either way, it’s not helpful. You know what’s useful? Our curated collection of gift ideas for parents at My Modern Met Store. We have presents that they can enjoy together or items that speak to their individual style.

Is the heart of your household in the kitchen? If so, that’s a great place to start your gift-giving quest. We have oodles of quirky coffee mugs that will make a fun addition to anyone’s cabinet. For parents that like to peruse art museums, the Brief History of Art Mug is a great choice. It’ll give them a little history lesson with each sip they take.

Want to get your parents something pretty? The store has no shortage of beautiful products that will be useful, too. Flatyz candles are a great way to enjoy some of the world’s most famous paintings. Works by van Gogh, Monet, Klimt, and Seurat have been recreated on slabs of wax that come complete in a stainless steel holder. Ideal for extra illumination or as a statement-making display piece, this fine art format will surely take them by surprise.

Scroll down for more from our gifts for parents collection, and be sure to check out the rest in My Modern Met Store. Remember, if you’re sending the present directly to your parents, don’t forget to include a complimentary gift note!
