What are you getting your parents for Christmas this year? Hankies? Pants and socks? A poinsetta plant? A box of chocolates?

Difficult, isn’t it. Maybe they already have everything they could want within an acceptable price range. Maybe you just get them the same things every year out of habit. Maybe they are just don’t make use of the practical presents you would like to get for them.

So why not think outside the box? How long ago did they change their locks? Do their locks even meet today’s insurance standards? How many keys have been lost over the years? How much safer will they feel when they have a nice, new lock fitted?

Better yet, why not get them a doorbell that links to a phone with a screen meaning they can see and talk to someone at the door without ever having to get up or open the door to a stranger.

Or, even better, how about a home security alarm system with added features like a panic button that can alert you if they take a fall, or will allow you to use your mobile phone to check in on them from time to time.

This Christmas, or birthday or just because you can, why not get your parents something that matters? Part of the joy of Christmas is seeing the people you love use the present you buy them. Pants and socks just don’t quite work.
