A few years ago I was able to get tickets to a brunch and presentation at Thanksgiving point. My mom and I enjoyed wonderful food while listening to a wonderful talk by an amazing author. It was a chance to connect with my mom and enjoy a present that couldn't be tied together with a ribbon. We capped the afternoon off with the drive home talking about the experience.
I have also purchased tickets to concerts and plays for birthdays and other events. I have found that I enjoy attending these events with my parents more than they do, as I get to spend an evening alone with them -- without having to compete with my sisters. :)
