Thank you presents

Hi

Can anyone help? My dad and step-mum have recently gifted myself and my partner a large amount of money for the deposit for our 1st house and i would really like to get them a gift to say thanks for their generosity.

They have pretty much everything they want and i struggle at christmases/birthdays so this is proving difficult.

Thanks

Danielle

    Does it have to be a "thing"? Wouldn't it be nicer to invite them round for a really special thank you meal in your new home when you have moved in?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • I have relatives who have got everything & they're always difficult. I end up thinking it will have to be something consumable then...Wine? Whisky? Chocolates? Or something for their garden - a tree?

    What about a meal in their fav restaurant?

    Some nice plants from a garden centre or crocus?
  • This seller made me a custom card to thank our parents for their contribution to our wedding http://www.etsy.com/shop/Storeyshop Excellent quality, A5 size.

    You could buy them a plant/mini tree (in a pot or not) and buy one for your own house and say it's to remind them of the home they've helped you create?

    What's the budget you're looking at?
