What is it about shopping for your parents that makes it so stressful? They’re always saying that they “don’t need anything,” but you know deep down that there is something out there that they could use. And as you know, the best gifts for parents are functional—but they’re also sentimental and a token of your appreciation for them.

If your dad can throw down in the kitchen, top-notch cookware like a Dutch oven or some artisanal olive oils will make his day. Or if your mom is a master chess player, ahe’ll appreciate an upgraded chess set where you two can go toe-to-toe during your next visit home.

Another way to ensure that you find a really thoughtful gift for your ‘rents is to pay close attention to any household items they’ve been needing forever but have refused to purchase. We all have at least one frugal parental unit who loves to hold onto things well past their expiration date. So if they’ve got a ratty ol’ apron that’s barely hanging on by a thread, get ‘em a new one that looks super stylish, all while boosting their cooking vibe.

And if you’re feeling a little more generous than usual, there’s never a bad time to splurge on cool tech gadgets and accessories that your parents will surely love—like a chic iPad cover for their beloved tablet or a sleek wine bottle opener for the vino connoisseur.

Below, we gathered 51 thoughtful gift ideas for parents that will help make your shopping quest easier. And regardless of what you pick out for them, they’re bound to love it because it came from their fave child (aka you).
