we are on the annual quest quest to find gifts for dh parents that cost the right amount of money to fake the correct level of affection. This is made not easier by the fact that they have everything they need, can easily buy anything they could possibly want and have no hobbies (except visiting new places in order to check them off their list of places they have visited), indulgences (entertainment or luxuries) or vices (food, alcohol, tobacco, sex) I found a book called “when your adult children disappoint you” but dh said no.
my mom is getting placemats that I know she will use and like but has not seen. My dad may be getting a garlic baker - I made it - if my mom thinks he will use it. Otherwise, he’s getting nothing. I will say “merry Christmas, I didn’t get you a present.” And he will say “thank you. Merry Christmas.”
dh is getting three months of trash service. With accessories. He wants to put a car lift in the garage. So I restarted the trash service and I am going to spend Thursday mornings from January until I finish (deadline end of march) bravely clearing out and organizing in the studio barn so that he can get a car lift in there.
also, he can throw away the can of trash he has filled in the 22 months we have had no trash service, and we can do a big cleanup of the yard. I think it’s a good present.
