The best tech gifts to buy your aging parents (that will arrive in time for Christmas)
Buying presents for parents is no easy feat, especially those who are getting up there in years. It's not like you can just wrap a bag of Werther's Originals and call it a day. And if you ever watched Everybody Loves Raymond, you know a fruit-of-the-month club isn't a good choice. It's time to get a little more creative — and maybe a little more practical as well. With that in mind, I've rounded up 10 gifts to buy for aging parents, all of them intended to be useful in some way — and all still available in time for Christmas (and the latter days of Hanukkah). Note that for the fastest possible shipping, you'll need an Amazon Prime subscription.
