Flowers For An Anniversary

[Wish Upon A Star]

I just purchased a beautiful basket with flowers for my parents anniversary on 4/28 from 1800flowers.com. I've never sent my parents flowers before for their anniversary and/or birthdays but I'm running out of ideas.

My parents will be 74 this year . . .my dad's b-day is on their anniversary so it makes it pretty tough on what to get. You can't buy them clothing, restaurant g.c., etc because that's always what they get and I'm pretty sure they are sick and tired of it. And the clothing, well let's just say dad still has clothes with tags on them. or it'll be the wrong color, size or style . . .(dad is very hard to please).

So I am sending them a beautiful basket with flowers instead this year. And I can already hear my sisters and brother . . .blah blah blah . . .they always get clothing and my oldest sister buys really weird things . . .like the one year she bought dad the singing fish.

Dad just got an old computer and I'm buying him Wheel of Fortune for it for his b-day . . .hopefully I made the right purchases . . .

Anyone else have problems buying for their parents or am I the only one?

Hi Shep . . .

My parents will be celebrating their 53rd Anniversary on 4/28.

My parents are hard to shop for because they get mad when they get gifts. They'd rather buy stuff for themselves. They share the same birthday, which is 4 days after my ds's bday. I've been able to snooker them into accepting gifts from him for their bday because he says it's not fair he gets stuff for his birthday and they don't. I usually give them their birthday stuff on my ds's birthday. Their anniversary is a little harder to snooker them into accepting stuff.

Happy anniversary to your parents, Wish Upon A Star. Happy anniversary to your parents too, Todd.
