Gifts for parents - ideas?

I'm really stumped on what to get for the parentals - both sides - as a 'thank you' gift.  I know those hankies are popular, but I'm looking for other ideas.  What did/will you give your parents?

Thanks!

    Both sides asked for albums so we're doing that, and maybe a really nice bottle of wine.  We considered a gift certificate to a B&B in Vermont or the Cape.

    We are giving them parent albums - My parents are paying for a bulk of the wedding so we are getting them a gift certificate to a B&B in Vermont. For my FI's parents we're getting them parent albums and for FI's mom we're getting her a gift card to her favorite restaurant. FI's Dad will get something motorcycle related

    In addition to the hankies, we are doing custom signs from Etsy that say their last names, for example: "The Smith Family est. 1980".  We are also planning to get GC's to Stonewall Kitchen in Portsmouth, NH to take cooking lessons with our parents. :)

    Giving parents albums for Christmas. (we're getting married in June)
