Help with parent gifts

We're trying to figure out what to get the parents, and have settled on gift certificates for their favorite restaurants.
That will work for my parents and his parents, but not his father (yes, he has two). 
He's divorced, so he wouldn't use a restaurant certificate. Any other ideas? With all the other stuff to think about, I'm drawing a blank on this.

    How about a gift certificate for ticket-master, or tickets to his favorite sporting event, a bottle of Dom, or take him out for a night on the town.

    gift certificate to Omaha Steaks? haha, I don't know why that came to mind but it's delish and FI's father was pretty excited when he received one of their packages

    What kinds of stuff does he like? Is he a sports guy? Does he like to shop? 
    Home Depot?

    I'm thinking of giving them a nice wedding album of us.  Unless that's already something you will give them.

    That's actually a great idea! He loves to cook on the grill, so we may go with that. <div>
    </div><div>We thought about giving him a <a href="http://www.framethedate.com" target="_blank">"frame the date</a>" with one of our engagement photos, but we thought that might be awkward for him to be opening a large present when the other parents only have envelopes. </div>
