For Mom or Dad
F SMART WATCH
DMV parents are busy. Simplify their life
with a new smartwatch for the new year.

The Garmin Venu 2 not only tracks fitness
and sleep, but it also displays texts, allows
wearers to take calls from their wrist and
even has guided breathing exercises for
relaxation. The face and band are customizable
to fit any style.

PI PIZZA OVEN
Kids love pizza. Parents get tired of take-out. The solution?
A Solo Stove Pi pizza oven so parents can make real
wood-fired pizza right from their own backyard.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
JOURNALS Finding balance as a parent isn’t easy. Taking even a few
minutes a day for reflection can pay off big. Journaling can
reduce stress and help busy parents prioritize tasks. A
guided journal like the Better Every Day Journal is great
for parents who aren’t sure how to get started. A premium
journal from Moo is another good choice.

G CHOCOLATE GALORE
THE BEST HOME GOODS
Give the dining room table an upgrade with
a gorgeous Acacia hardwood Lazy Susan
from Lynn & Liana. The Lazy Susan comes
in stunning designs including Ocean Vibes
and Emerald Jewel to match any décor. It
will make everything from family dinners
to holiday parties run just a little more
smoothly and look great when not in use.

UPGRADE HOME ENTERTAINMENT
Parents can’t always make it out to see a movie
or watch the big game. A home projector like
the Nebula Mars Pro II brings the big screen right
to the living room or backyard. All that’s needed to make
this work is a blank wall or big white sheet. A projector
doubles as a great family gift for movie nights.

G SHOWTIME
A night out at the theatre always makes a great gift for
parents who don’t have enough time to get out without
the kids. The Kennedy Center has great shows, including
musicals, dramas and symphony performances. Broadway
at the National consistently has a solid line-up of the best
of Broadway. The Shakespeare Theatre and Synthetic
Theatre are other great options.

For the parent who already has it all, you can never go
wrong with chocolate. Try the Eku Box Gourmet Chocolate
Lovers set that comes with a huge variety of treats
beautifully packaged with holiday flair. It’s perfect for
sharing—but no one would blame a parent for keeping it
all to themselves!
REST AND RELAX
Most D.C. area parents can’t escape from daily life and go
on a restorative tropical vacation. Instead, give them the
gift of a few hours at one of the area’s fantastic spas. Privai
is an optimal choice with locations at Pike & Rose, Fairfax
and throughout the DMV.

G THE GIFT OF QUIET
GREAT EATS
Another guaranteed favorite is a gift certificate to a
parent’s favorite restaurant. If you aren’t sure which one
that may be, you can send them to a great meal at one of
José Andrés’ restaurants, which aren’t only delicious but
but you can also help with the famed chef’s humanitarian
efforts to feed those in need.

It’s hard for parents to escape the noise, from the sound
of the metro to loud kids. Nokia’s noise
cancelling earbuds not only provide
an upgrade, but have an ambient
mode and a built-in assistant.

Active parents will love
Soundcore by Anker
sport earbuds. T
