I am not sure if you have London Drugs over there... or not.. but hey have all those kinda things at Christmas...I'm in Canada. No Walgreens here. I'm sure I can find them someplace, though, if need be. I like shopping.
I need some ideas
- Thread starter freakofnature
- Start date
Get Mason jars and fill it with the dry ingredients for some recipes and attach the recipes on pretty paper with pretty ribbon to the jars. You can do cookies, brownies, breads, pie crusts, hot cocoa, soups... You can put them in a basket with crinkle paper, and tie it up with clear wrapping paper (cellophane?) and a pretty ribbon.
One year I did little samplers of flavored coffees from Starbucks. You could do mugs too with that.

a cruise
My Dad's always wanted to go on a cruise to Alaska but my sister and I don't have that kind of money.
If they like chocolate (or at least your mum does) then I could send you some good stuff to pass on as a gift 
Dad's diabetic and Mom doesn't eat sweets because Dad doesn't. By all means, send the good stuff, though. I still eat chocolate.If they like chocolate (or at least your mum does) then I could send you some good stuff to pass on as a gift

Thorntons does a diabetics range. I've never tried it. I'll try it. I shall let you know if it passes my test
- and sure, I'll send some good stuff your way too.
Well if you don't live close to you parents and you do go well with them ..then what about a nice visit close to xmas ans stay with them few days.. and just get some nice basket that have some nice snacks that they love
id say a gift card would be ideal so they can buy whatever they need/want
That will always work..but its not very personal..more for co workers and such
I've seen the weekend getaway and i may just have to add to that
How about a weekend getaway to a resort nearby their place ( if they dont wanna travel far unless they want to.) One that has amenities for like a spa and nice relaxing massage for your mom and if your dad maybe likes an activity to do find that resort that includes both what they like for a getaway.
If not maybe a spa with massage for your mom. Sorry i cant think of anything for your dad
cruise: there are 50% off cruises nearby. Just have to watch for those sales

Playing off Bryan's idea. My cousin once made a cookbook of her favorite recipes of people in the family and gave it out to everyone
My other cousin made everyone a kit of her favorite recipe. Minus the wet ingredients/perishable. Her's was a chicken mushroom fettuccine. kits was the noodles, wines used in sauce, etc.
