In This Article:

So, normally your parents are scrambling around trying to find gifts for you. After all their hard work of trying to find you presents you need to thank them especially around the holidays when stores are packed and everyone is fighting for that last parking spot at the mall.

You don't have to go further than your computer and sign onto Amazon because let's face it, we don't want to be running around especially if your holiday break has just begun!

1. Alexa

Amazon

Sick of seeing everyone's Instagram captions saying "Alexa play ___ song," I know we all are! While our parents may not be very tech-savvy they will appreciate telling Alexa to add some items to the grocery list or set reminders for them while they are doing 6 other things in the house as well.

There are multiple colors to choose from as well!

2. Electronic picture frames

Amazon

Whether your parents will admit it over the phone while you are away at school or not, they miss you. The best present you can get them to remind them of all the fun times you have shared together is an electronic picture frame. My suggestion is to order it to somewhere you will be and open it and fill it with photos so then they will turn it on and it will already have your memories there!

3. Coffee Mugs

There is nothing better than waking up every morning and going to grab a nice cup of coffee to start your day. Sick of seeing those boring white and black coffee mugs in your dishwasher every week?
