One year I got my dad a polo shirt for his birthday (since he always wears polos on weekends) and I came home 6 months later to see in the spot where he probably opened the gift. It didn't even make it to his bedroom 20 feet away!<br /><br />Also, do you have any hotel recommendations on Oahu? We're thinking of doing a last-minute mini-moon there!Newbie and the Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955183337332810260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299021743531396298.post-75323630695424892892010-07-16T18:29:19.062-07:002010-07-16T18:29:19.062-07:00YAY ROYS!

So it's definitely a great gift! And... very Hawaiian-y. :)<br /><br />And I think giftcards are great. Pro-giftcards. Don't get me something I don't want or will need to go return.Alvinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848637272348287022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299021743531396298.post-12631221441266216532010-07-16T16:19:48.236-07:002010-07-16T16:19:48.236-07:00I like the date night idea!

I think this is a very thoughtful gift, even if the intent (romantic date night) is lost on your parents.<br /><br />And do tell about your scary fine dining experience . . . my wallet says I need to be scared of it, too, but my belly says otherwise :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724896577355920828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299021743531396298.post-25290022628913455362010-07-16T13:06:06.602-07:002010-07-16T13:06:06.602-07:00I LOVE the scuba camera and I also love the gift c...I LOVE the scuba camera and I also love the gift cards. Honestly, parents wouldn't notice if you didn't get them anything the night before the wedding. I have a sneaky feeling they have a lot more on their mind.<br /><br />On that not though, we got our parents 8x10s of our engagement photo in a nice Michael's frame. Okay, nothing classy but it actually brought two of our parents to tears! We also gave the moms those lapis crosses I blogged about. So watch out - you give gifts, they'll cry!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998209409220136371noreply@blogger.com
