I buy my Dad a very high end bottle of Scotch every year. Though this year we decided to buy him a new garage door opening.

You may consider a gift card to a high end restaurant for a night out, A Spa Day for Mom, a Golf day for Dad. Tickets to a play.

A lot depends on what they like to do and what they enjoy.

I usually look at things around the house that need to be improved or repaired that my Dad won't do because he find a cheap work around.

For example, my dad has a bulit in microwave from 20 years ago, and the latch button broke, so now he uses a comb handle, and won't let me replace it.

When I see something that I know he needs but will refuse to get himself, that's what I get. Last year we got him a cell phone because he needed it, but refuse to get another contraption. Now he uses it all the time.

As stated, gift cards are always a good thing.
