Way to Express Gratitude to Parents 2: Gift

How about giving a wonderful gift filled with gratitude to your parents?♡ A bouquet of flowers for your mother! A bouquet has always been a popular gift that doesn't change over time. Including her favorite flowers or her birth flower is sure to bring her joy. ♩ After gifting the bouquet to your mother, let's give your father a boutonniere!

Present a one-of-a-kind gift. A bear made from the weight at the time of the groom or bride's birth.♡ With names and weights embroidered on it, parents will surely remember the day their daughter or son was born with joy. Other options besides bears include dogs and rabbits! ♩

A surprise where both sets of parents participate in the traditional cake-cutting ceremony that is typically done by just the couple. ♡ This creates a heartwarming moment for all three families, and the sight of all three families cutting the cake together will surely move not only the parents but also the guests present. ♩
