Things I bought for my parents this year

Gifting parents, especially Indian parents, is torturous.
1. They are the worst gift receivers
"What was the need?"
"We don't need this"
"Why do you keep wasting money"
"Who told you to buy this?"
2. They lose their shit if you tell them the actual price of the gift

But this last year, with finally some financial stability in life and a lot of domestic help not available, I went into a gifting overdrive, for our parents.
Here are some of the things I bought that they love using (but DO NOT KNOW the actual price of)

Was tired of watching Ma use a 15-yr mixie which had given up on itself, but Ma hadn't given up on it!

Such a brilliant gift. They love it.
Their evenings are now chai and marie-gold biscuits and Lata Mangeshkar/Kishore Kumar/Mohd.Rafi

"India as a country is completely comfortable being perpetually in pain"
My parents embody this statement.
This heatwrap, after a lot of dismissal from their side, is now an extension of their body!

At the other end is this cold strap.
With this and the heatwrap above, it is remarkable how much of their joint pains have been cared for, finally!

Papa makes juice for both of them daily.
By squeezing mausambi with his hands.
We kept saying, please upgrade.
"Hands are just fine!"
So we got this juicer for ourselves.
And slyly used it in front of him.
"This looks awesome"
That was our chance.

They attend 1-2 hours of online religious sermons.
Through the phone loudspeaker!
Every evening was a public jagraata at their place!
They experienced sound civility through these headphones :)

"Massage is for kings and queens", is what both of them believe in.
So any reference to a spa is banned in the household.
This was the closest we could get to it. They will not admit it ever, but they can't live without this product

"I sit on it for 30 mins and after that I feel I am flying. Duniya kitni advance ho gayi hai naa"
This is Ma after using the foot massager. Her favorite gift, ever!

I know it sound awful that I have to "gift" both of them an oximeter.
"saans aa rahi hai. Oxygen level theek hai"
This was their way of recording O2 levels, before the oximeter came into their life!

The big one!
With help gone, I didn't want them to be spending their time cleaning the house everyday.
Convincing them that a cleaning robot is what they need, I think remains my biggest personal achievement!

I have personally loved gifting.
And gifting parents, as hard as they make the process, remains the most gratifying.
I remember growing up always wishing the best for them but never being able to afford.
And I would love, in my small way, to share that joy with you.

I would LOVE to gift your parents, these very gifts, on your behalf.
My biggest, and frankly most gratifying, giveaway ever.

I hope you find joy in gifting your parents.
Anything at all.
If nothing, say "thank you" to them today.
There is no better gift.
