THe Story of a Frusturated Gifter...

On his second Christmas after finishing college, with a new profound income Matt Carlson wanted to get his parents a great present…

The problem? Matt hates shopping and when he asked his parents what they wanted they said, “Nothing”! WHO WANTS NOTHING FOR CHRISTMAS?!

What happened? He procrastinated and ended up scouring Amazon last minute to buy his Mom a jacket and his Dad a hand warmer gadget. He was able to find a solution but felt guilty that he didn’t get them something great like they deserved. 

He thinks to himself… When I need a definition, I go to dictionary.com, when I need a movie review, I go to RottenTomatoes.com… how come I don’t have a place to go to when I need a gift idea?

Ahaa!! Matt was determined to build a brand to save other people from dealing with the same stress, guilt, and procrastination that comes with buying a present for their parents.  

February 2022,  ParentPresents.com was born with the goal of simplifying the gift-finding process for frustrated and guilt-ridden gifters everywhere.
