Any ideas for parent's gift?

You guys usually come up with some really great ideas. My parents flew up for my wedding and they paid for the honeymoon in the Caribbean. They surprised me at the reception by paying the tab for it (it was a small event at a restaurant as most of you know so the bill wasn't paid in advance and wasn't astronomical). I was so surprised and grateful and I'd love to mail them a nice gift but can't figure out what.

1. They are not sentimental, I've sent them framed photos in the past that go in a junk drawer. 2. They aren't the type that splurge on nice restaurants. If I gave them a gift card to a fancy steak house I can already see my dad bitching about a $50 steak being ridiculous, even if he's not paying for it. 3. The main thing they enjoy is travel but my mom is a travel agent so she's got that covered well beyond anything I could give them. So.....anyone got any ideas? Budget up to about $200?

Re: Any ideas for parent's gift?

  • I would like to introduce you to the travel section of the Container Store. CLICKY!

    Or maybe a new camera to take pictures/video of their trips?
  • If they love to travel, do they love to take photos of their travels? Do they need a camera upgrade?

    Or, do they enjoy experiences? Could you buy them vouchers to go ziplining or get massages somewhere?

    You could also assemble a travel-themed gift basket. Include Tums, Advil, gum, travel mugs, beach towels, magazines, hats, sunscreen, bug spray, etc.

  • Camera is a good idea! I don't think they have one, my dad takes a few on his company iphone and that's about it.

  • I like the camera idea. 

    If they don't like nice restaurants, do they at least appreciate good food at home? My dad loves getting gift packages from Omaha Steaks.

  • @lolo883 that's a really good idea! My uncle moved from New England to AZ and he overnights ME lobsters to himself. My dad would probably love that since he's in a no lobster zone now!
