Any Ideas for Gifts to parents?

I am looking for gift ideas to my parents.  I know it seems only right that we give our parents something for all of the years they have sacrificed bringing us up!

    We got the mom's embroidered handkerchiefs and we got his dad an engraved knife and my dad got a personalized frame with a picture of him and I in it. After the wedding we will put together parents albums for them.

    We got our moms hankies, double-picture frames and put a picture of us when we were kids and will get a pro pic and put it on the other side (pier 1-9.99!), and are going to use Shutterfly to make them parents albums that mimic ours after our wedding

    we did "nameframes" from etsy.com - a great suggestion from Danto. To make them more affordable, we bought the prints from the etsy seller, then bought the frames from Walmart.  We'll probably get hankerchiefs for them too.  And, I fully anticipate making albums for the moms when I make ours through Snapfish after the wedding.

    We got customized wine bottles for each set of parents (with our names, wedding date, and monogram), and we are going to make them albums after the wedding.  My mom has a pandora charm bracelet so I am going to get her the wedding cake as something a little special and give it to her on the morning of the wedding.  FI's mom doesn't have on, but I may start one for her as well.

    We gave both sets of parents an 8x10 frame and said that they can pick a picture once we get them in.  We then gave my parents a gift certificate to a Bed & Breakfast in the White Mountains as they love B&Bs and the White Mountains.  We gave his parents an American Express Gift Card with specific instructions to use it toward a get away or a night on the town.  They tend to be more of the home-body type so we didn't want to get them a certificate to a specific place!

    We got my parents Fleetwood Mac tickets (they're big fans)... and we got his dad a cap-catcher gift bucket and his mom I don't remember. We're also doing parent albums for them.
