Reader<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I struggle every year picking a birthday gift for my parent. They always say “I really don’t need anything,” and even when I get them something, I’m not sure they actually love it. I want to find a way to honor them that’s not<\/em> a thing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you’re looking for a way to honor your parents that isn’t another physical object<\/span>, you’re definitely not the only one in that boat.<\/p>\n

By the time parents hit their 50s, 60s, and 70s, they pretty much have all the stuff they need. New clothes, new appliances \u2014 most of what they’d use is already in the house.<\/p>\n

So when you’re trying to “give them something good,” there’s a natural ceiling you eventually hit<\/span>. It might just be the right time to shift toward “filial gifts that aren’t things.”<\/p>\n

So in this article, I’ll walk you through how to think about filial love beyond physical gifts and how to actually pick something<\/strong> \u2014 covering why material gifts hit a wall, the value of experiences and memory, and the prayer-as-gift option.<\/p>\n
