My parents are THE HARDEST PEOPLE to buy gifts for. Hands down. If there was an award for “Couple who is most difficult to buy gifts for,” my parents would win, blowing their competition out of the water. If they were to win such an award, the people giving the award wouldn’t even know what to give them.
So, I felt a little bit like a gift-giving genius when I found this personalized sign on Etsy, for their 40th anniversary. Isn’t it cute? I think my parents even liked it. And it wasn’t yet another gift card to a restaurant or framed picture of my kids! (Sorry I had to pixelate their last name! The sign looks REALLY great without the pixelation!)
I found this sign at Define Your Space. I was able to get the sign personalized and I was able to choose the font and colors. It’s super heavy duty and I love that it’s 100% unique. Don’t tell my parents (HI MOM!), but it was NOT at all expensive, yet it doesn’t look cheap. She has all kinds of different styles of signs (not just anniversary gifts!) and vinyl wall decals. Possible Christmas gift? Hmm? Just so you know, if you were thinking about ordering something as a Christmas gift, you have to place your order by December 6!
Hey FTC, I’m not being paid and I wasn’t even asked to post about this! All I received for this post was the satisfaction of being a pretty awesome gift-giver. I’m just telling you all about this because I thought you might like it, too.

You pretty much just made my day. I was going to drive three hours to have a stone name sign made for a family member, but this is soooo much easier.

LOVE this. My parents are also the hardest people to shop for. My dad doesn’t know the meaning of the word “want.” He sees something he likes, he’s in the car or on the phone having it priority shipped to their house. Now to just decide the right occasion to buy for.

Brian’s parents are equally as hard. Maybe even harder. Are so. Yuh huh. Are too.

I was just checking these signs out on Etsy today! Great minds think alike. I’m thinking of getting one for myself though!

Cute sign. I HATE that you have to clarify at the end of your posts when you say you like something. HATE IT.
