Gifts for Dad/Mom
« on: June 14, 2012, 11:33:24 pm »

Mga sis, share naman kayo some tips or gift ideas.  What were the things you gave for your Mom or Dad on special occasions?

Malapit na Father's day and I still don't know what to give to my Dad.    :-\
There's no better way to learn but practice and enjoy the moment.    :)

If my dad were still alive, I really wouldnt know what to get him. He had experienced the world and lived luxuriously so siguro I'd get him something as simple as a set of pj's (mahilig sya sa pj's when he was still alive). Oh what I would give to have my dad back even just for a day.
Whatever I want, I get. If I can't, I don't stop TRYING.

My mom, mahirap regaluhan kase saksakan ng pintasera sa gifts, seriously. Kahit sa harap namin pipintasan nya yan, napaka-bruha :p So madalas, money binibigay ko or something I know she really likes like perfume or jewelry.

when my mom was still alive, simple lang ang gusto.  masaya na siya sa 3 dozens of roses and a card, set of kitchenware, dresses, or wallets.  :)   dad ko naman, i gave him before polo shirts, belts, perfumes, shoes, bathrobes, murang watch  ;D, pero madalas polo shirts. 

this coming father's day, i want to buy any discounted branded pen.  I noticed he likes expensive pens. Meron po kaya dito sa Manila?

Pls. PM me kung hindi pwede dito i-post.   :)

SPA treat for parents or yung mga hindi pa nila nararanasan para bago.
Kaya SPA yung pinili namin para din maranasan nilang mapamper dahil ang sisipag nila eh :)

I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

I don't ussually give gifts during fathers/Mothers Day. =) I prefer to treat them for a lunch or a spa instead. =) I only give gifts during their  birthdays and kapag christmas. kapag birthday, kung ano gusto nila yun binibigay ko. =) Kapag christmas naman ussually money  or appliances sa bahay na gusto nila. =)

Papa ko mahirap regaluhan. Lagi kaming nauuwi sa maong pants. Mahilig kasi father ko magsuot nun. Kaso mama ko nagrereklamo na kasi dami na daw nya nilalabhan. hehe. Pag wala na akong maisip cash na lang or dati kinantahan nya ako ng shoes.

Sa mama ko, madalas gift ko sa kanya is blouse, last bday nya camera ang binigay ko. Nagregalo na din ako ng SPA GC, kaso nasayang lang kasi di naman sila pumunta ni papa. Niregaluhan ko din sila ng pang footspa, nakastock lang sa bahay. Sobrang busy kasi.

This coming christmas sumasakit na naman ang ulo ko kakaisip ng ireregalo ko sa kanila. hehe.

When my dad was alive, he would be excited whenever I would bring him to dine in expensive places/restos.

iPad for moms.  Be sure to teach her how to use it.

parents ko mahirap regaluhan..hay hirap mag-isip talaga lalo na kung choosy..hehe.. Last year gift namin sa dad ko..signatured belt na reversible and white polo shirt..we thought of it kasi di sya nagsusuot ng hindi branded at iisa lang belt nya..kaya lang the belt ended inside his closet di daw kasi katulad ng belt nya before kaya ayaw gamitin..hay arte hehe..although na-appreciate nya.. My mom naman, we gave her oven toaster kasi yun ang request nya..pero pag wala sya request mahirap kasi medyo maarte rin ang taste kahit sa clothes hehe..pero ok lang we understand them..at least they appreciate pa rin our efforts.. :D
This christmas ano nanaman kaya ang maganda ibigay.. I asked them to write their wishlist para madali na for us..haha..

for my dad, an iphone 5. at first medyo nagdadalawang isip ako if i'll get him iphone 4s nalang kasi almost same lang din naman and first iphone niya if ever. but i opted for ip5 nalang since first time lang niya magkaron ng ganitong luxury, and he's old narin kasi. feel ko naman ma eenjoy niya if ever kasi nadiscover niya facebook and pag iinternet lately and na addict siya mag wifi sa bahay using his old phone na mahirap din gamitin.

for my mom naman, i gave her an ipad3 nung last birthday niya and she's enjoying it very much now. kasi kakaretire lang din niya this year, so past time na niya yung ipad niya and pag didiamond dash. this xmas, cash nalang siguro para may pang gastos siya :)

For Dad (if he's still alive) - just a simple dinner in a restaurant will do. My dad was so simple, he compliments things lalo na galing sa akin kahit na minsan feel ko na hindi niya type yung gift ko. hayz, Miss kong dad ko =(

For Mom - always cash (i want her to buy na lang whatever she wants).
