Family Photos
When was the last time you really had photos taken with your whole family? For many people, it hasn't been since they were kids. Hire a professional photographer and get the family together.

It's a memory that is sure to stick with your parents.

The pins are mixed colors so they can either mark with whatever pin or color code vacations to show which were family vacations, couple vacations, and vacations with friends.
In the age of cord-cutters, having a cable connection is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Gift your parents an Amazon Fire Stick so they can cut the cord as well.

It's a quick and easy set-up, so even parents who aren't the most tech-savvy should be able to get their Fire Stick ready to use with minimal help.
