I am 26 years old and about to graduate from pharmacy school. My parents are the only reason this was made possible, as they have allowed me to live in their house rent free. They have slipped me that extra 20 bucks when I needed it for my bills. My mom has even stayed up until 1 am just to make me coffee and a snack so I could stay up all night and study. Their support has extraordinary, and my dream is only becoming a reality because of them.
I have just signed a contract to work in a hospital starting in June with a 120k salary. I have no kids, so for me alone this amount is huge. I want to show my parents my appreciation in buying them a huge graduation gift. What are some ideas? I’d like to spend about 5-10k. Vacation or what? They are simple folk, no real hobbies

Simple folk, eh? No real hobbies. Ok, this is an easy answer then.
You can send them on a 3 day cruise in the Bahamas. Plane fare, boat ride, and a bit of spending cash, all for about 5k. (probably less, just depends on what deals you can find online)
I went on a 3 day cruise for my second wedding’s honeymoon and even though that marriage went south, i will always remember that cruise as one of the best times of my life.
