What are you ladies planning to get your parents as a thank you gift?

Haven't thought about this but I'm interested in hearing responses. We are getting both parents wedding albums but that's later down the line plus I would want to give them a more personal gift.

We are getting our parents the same gifts as the bridal party for the BM and Mothers everyone is getting tote bags with their inital from vista print, purse hooks from ebay , and tank tops with the titles on it. The GM, BM, and Fathers got a Pen & Pencil set from oriental trading with the names and titles on them.

That's where I am too. We're doing the albums once we get the pics back, but I want to do something else. Maybe a gift card to a restaurant?

That sounds nice, but I want to give them something without the titles.

These were a big hit with some of the women who've already married (click) I waited too long and didn't have time to order. Most went with a different vendor on Etsy thought (this is just from a different thread I was watching).

I ended up getting this for MIL: http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/sterling-silver-18k-gold-over-sterling-silver-necklace-inspirational-crystal-butterfly-pendant?ID=746538&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results

And we ended up getting his dad a $50 gift card to outback.

Lol! I know, right!

@Tash and Key, I thought about the hankies, but then second guessed it, because my mom and FI mom don't use hankies. So I'm on the fence about them.

I got them embroidered hankies and now I am sending a canvas and picture album

I was in a wedding in 2011 and the bride and groom gave everybody a watch.. a really nice watch in cluding their parents.. and it symbolized the time that everyone have taking to make the day possible and  in addition.. to the parents the time they have spent throughout the years to make them who they are. I loved that idea and i will probably mock it and do a hankie along with the parent album months after the wedding..
