Birthdays

Hello Everyone,

What do people usually do when it's their parents' birthdays back home? Last year all I did was call, which made me feel like a cheap bastard cause it only cost me $2 - onesuite - I'd send flowers or candy or something but internationally that's a bit much. What's something nice, but not wallet breaking?
