What is the biggest surprise/gift you've ever given to your parents?

For me, I bought a car for my Dad.

I got my mom a string of real pearls with my employee discount when I worked at Tiffany's. She'd been wearing fake pearls for years always expressing her wish that they were real. So when I went to work for Tiffany's I got her a $8000 string of cultured pearls for $2500. It took her an hour to stop screaming and jumping up and down. Then she got depressed because she didn't get me anything nearly as nice for Christmas. I said "you have 5 children, 11 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren to by gifts for on your fixed income. I only got one mother to buy for. I got her matching pearl earrings on her birthday. Turned out that was her last Christmas. So now I'm really glad I got them for her. She wore them every day for the rest of her life.

A trip to Europe - Iceland, Britain, France, Switzerland, Italy and Vatican City.

[roy_ricky09]

Amazing!!!

[nightdrot]

Thanks. Mom had always wanted to go to Europe so when I got the cash together I made it a Mother's Day/Birthday gift.

Happily, she still talks about the trip to this day.

Happily, she still talks about the trip to this day. - Ofcrs she's proud of her Son.

I always give gifs to my mom and she likes them. But there's childhood memory about my dad, I would like share.

I saw my dad's wallet slightly torn, when I wad 8; I then bought a new one from my pocket money for him. He was so much happy seeing it, because he was surprised by his little daughter. I still remember his wet eyes for such a humble gift. It was really special for him. I love my dad... But I lost him😣

[roy_ricky09]

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. Its nice to always remember the good memories and cherish them.
Thanks for sharing.

[Suziedicostah]

My pleasure!!💛

[Aakash_Hangargi]

So thoughtful at that age

[Suziedicostah]

@Aakash_Hangargi thanks

Nothing my mom is super picky 🙄 I got her gift many years ago she ended up returning them to the store not because the item didn't fit her she didn't like the item. This one time I give her money so she would buy something for herself she ended up giving the money I gave her to someone else. After no more gifts. Why even bother.

[roy_ricky09]

Aww.. I know it's always difficult

When my dad was building his car garage, one of his vintage mustang posters blew out into the rain and got soaked. I snuck around to the trash, looked at the poster and found it on EBay with the other matching poster too. I gave them to him for Christmas and he was so overjoyed. He doesn’t want to put them up until he gets a frame.

[roy_ricky09]

Nice

[FictionalCharacter]

Hmm... they both enjoyed the hot air balloons on my 30 birthday that the whole family pitched in.

[roy_ricky09]

Exciting

[FictionalCharacter]

It was $1,300 for 4 people on 1 hour flight

[roy_ricky09]

What matters is the happiness on their faces. I've never been on those but I think 1 hour must have felt long.

[FictionalCharacter]

It was worth it

[Dnice1]

I made them homemade chocolate peanut butter fudge for their wedding anniversary. If I was to get a big gift for them, I'd get them a hot tub because I know my mom wants one.

[roy_ricky09]

That's sweet

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

I gave my parents a month long vacation around the world before Covid-19 hit for their 50th anniversary.

[roy_ricky09]

Beautiful

[A_Bell]

Telling them I was getting married. I think they thought I would just collect casual relationships all my life.

[TheLittleInnocent]

My birth, I wasn't planned 💀

[roy_ricky09]

Lol... This was a good one

[Drumlin2001]

Me and siblings paid for a trip to China

[roy_ricky09]

[Drumlin2001]

[Browneye57]

Geez... they're all dead.

[roy_ricky09]

I'm sorry

[Browneye57]

Don't be. No one is getting out of here alive. ;)

[AmandaYVR]

Could never surprise them and they loved the gift.

[fatimah01]

None.

[roy_ricky09]

It's alright I'm sure you'd want to

[fatimah01]

Nope , the last time I bought an expensive shoes for my mom, she gave them back to me at my school... anyways it's a long story. She doesn't deserve anything from me period.

[roy_ricky09]

Sorry to hear that.
From where I'm parents don't accept anything from girls usually.

[fatimah01]

Really? Is this a culture thin...

[roy_ricky09]

Not exactly culture per say... But happens
