What are you giving as parent gifts?

Please post what you are giving your parents. Really need ideas. My parents are divorced so we want to give a present to each rather than as a couple. TIA

For our engagement party thank you, we bought my mom and dad a really nice 10 piece pot and pan set and my FH's mom a nice flatware set. Not positive for the wedding but we are paying for the parent photo albums, we are going to send bouquets the day after the wedding, and not sure what else.

We gave our parents each a 8x10 picture frame that had some swarovski crystals in it and will get the an 8x10 of their choice, they also get a parents album and a copy of the video. We gave MIL and FIL $100 gift certificate to a restaraunt.

I paid for my mom and MIL's hair the day of the wedding and for my mom I paid for her dress, make up and hotel (this wasn't so much her 'gift', she couldn't afford it otherwise but I did everything I could to help her feel and look her best that day).

How about a hotel the night of the wedding? Or a spa gift for your mom and something sports or hobby related for your dad?

very unoriginal here but we paid for all our parents & grandparents albums & copies of the video. We also got the moms little bo-ks delivered to their houses the morning of the wedding

We gave a very pretty double frame with clear glass and pressed flowers decorating the borders of each side of the frames. On one side we put an engagement picture, the other had our wedding invitation. We got them at Target. I think they were roughly $30 each. Our parents Loved them. (My parents are divorced too, so they each got one.) Also, they will each be getting a parent album from the photographer.
