For The Mature Parents Navigating Parenthood Anew
Graced with young children during their golden years, these parents balance life's wisdom with youthful exuberance. Christmas can be exhausting, so why not choose a gift that promotes relaxation and bonding? Offer them comfort in the festive flurry with a thoughtful present that brings their family closer, even as life pulls them in every direction.
Cute tree ornaments

Christmas stockings
Let’s face it—if there’s anyone who can’t be busier preparing gifts for everyone, it’s the parents. To help them with their yearly holiday mission, gift them with these Christmas Gnome Stockings that can be personalized with each family member's name.
For the Young-at-Heart Empty Nesters
Ah, is there anything more heartwarming than parents enjoying their well-deserved golden years together? For these folks, we recommend presents that bring them a bit of fun and a dose of that cozy Christmas warmth. Here are a few Christmas gift ideas for parents who would appreciate spending time with their loved ones.
A puzzle
The Nutcracker Musical Puzzle is a lovely addition to their holiday decor while also providing a fun activity they can work on with friends and loved ones.
A table runner
If they're into adult coloring books and other crafts, we suggest our Kraft Paper Activity Table Runner, which comes with 16 crayons and can be used over several holidays. It's also a bonus gift for any grandkids they have over for the holidays!
For the Single Parents Getting It Done
Single parents are truly superheroes, taking on all of life's challenges without a partner to lean on. Show them your appreciation and support by giving them something that can make their lives a little easier.
A pedestal bowl
How about this 12 Days of Christmas Pedestal Bowl that can be used as a decorative piece for when friends and family come over for holiday gatherings? Just add snacks or candy and they're already halfway to hosting the perfect party.
Decorative gnomes
Or maybe they’re the type who truly loves spending quality time alone with a good book?
Our Gnome Christmas Pageant Set can watch over them and make sure there's always a little bit of holiday cheer in their reading nook.
The set features seven resin figures—six gnomes and one sheep, each with a signature hat—set against a manger backdrop, all designed by the renowned artist Jim Shore. Beautiful and festive, it's a great way for singles to feel alone without horning in on their me time!
For the Busy Working Parents
For those parents juggling work, life, and everything in between, decking the halls might be the last thing on their minds. Make decorating a bit easier for them with these items.
Yard stakes
We like giving busy parents easy-to-install Christmas decorations such as our Nativity Scene Yard Stakes Set that can be staked right into their front lawn to welcome guests. Instant Christmas spirit with no fuss!
A lawn plaque
In the same vein, we have this personalized Merry Christmas Lawn Plaque to let everyone at the door know that despite the hustle and bustle, their home is still full of love and cheer. The plaque comes with a stake for easy installation and can be personalized with their family name.
Now they can get their home all decked out without breaking a sweat.

Take one big thing off their Christmas list with this beautiful yet convenient Wrought Iron Ornament Christmas Tree that they can work on decorating together as a family.
Tree ornaments
You can also add more fun to the mix by including a motley of tree ornaments to really stamp it with their own unique personalities.

For the Parents Who Seem to Have Everything
The best Christmas gift for parents who have everything will always be something they would never buy for themselves. That could be something they think is too luxurious, too indulgent, or something that simply never occurred to them.
A beautiful vase
We've got just the thing!
This large Gilded Angels Vase won't mean much to younger folks or those who aren't into vintage and antique pieces but will be a coveted item for those who appreciate such classics.
