Tech gifts for less tech-savvy parents?
Choose setup-simple devices with good return policies. Smart displays and photo frames beat complex ecosystems — offer to help install on day one.
Joint gift for both parents or separate?
Shared experiences and home items can be joint; birthdays deserve individual recognition unless they explicitly prefer one combined present.
