Gifts for Parents

My parents are hosting about 85% of the wedding.  My FILs are paying for the rehearsal dinner and the bar, and my fiancee and I are paying for a little bit too.  I'm wondering, what are good gifts to get the parents?

I already know we're going to get my parents a signed copy of Jerry Riopelle's Anothology Album (they're big fans)- and something else too.  I'm jut not sure what.  

We also have no idea what to get his parents.  

What are you ladies doing for parent gifts, if you are doing them?

    We bought Kodak Pulse digital photo frames for our parents. The cool thing about the Pulse is that you can update it remotely, via the Kodak website. This means we can beam our wedding pictures to our parents as soon as we get them. I also pre-loaded them both with our engagement pics.

    We are getting both sets of parents an album.  I also got my dad a pen made out of a used bullet casing (he collects pens and guns) and my mom a vase and some table runners from the Caribbean (we honeymooned there).

    I got each parent a custom hanky from HeatherStrickland on Etsy! She is great and was able to get them done and sent to me soo quickly. We also got both sets of parents a photo box from Things Remembered with our names and wedding date engraved on it that they can use to put any wedding keepsakes in! Good luck!

    We are more than likely doing parent albums.  Not really anything the day of, but our parents aren't paying anything for any part of the wedding either.

    That is awesome!  We were also going to get digital frames.  Now I guess we'll get that type!

    We bought tours for our parents to view and explore the hoover dam. Our wedding is in Vegas. But, plan to purchase show tickets for FI's grandparents and my stepfather .

    We were going to get my parents this gorgeous wine rack, but they don't really have a place to put it, so I guess it's back to the drawing board.
