someone was just telling me this morning that for xmas both her and her sister got trips..1 to Vegas and one to VA for $139. BJ's was offering this last week or so. Not a timeshare or anything either. I think it was 2 nights/3 days in a hotel and you have a choice of either taking a $75 GC with it or in the VA case, 2 tickets to Busch Gardens. Maybe look into that? Cool idea and inexpensive

I got my parents a gift cert to a restaurant and to the movies, so they could have a dinner and a movie night... they hate when we spend a lot of money too so it was nice, not TOO expensive (we spent like $75 on the restaurant gift cert, $25 on the movie tix) and they got to enjoy a night out.

maybe something electronic for the house - like a new DVD player, stereo system, ipod dock ? Or a membership to Netflix? Tivo?

I usually get giftcards...someplace like the movies or bestbuy. I think its one of the best things you can get someone- give them the chance to pick out something they really want!!

How about an overnight stay at a bed-and-breakfast? those can be pretty reasonable.
