Gift help: What to buy for the 50 yr old couple who has everything

I'm done shopping all except for my Aunt and Uncle who I struggle with every year. They're into cooking and wine so I usually get something having to do with that but I'm stuck and running out of time. I'm desperate for suggestions please

A nice donation to a charity in their names? I wish someone would do this for me. This is what I asked my DH for this year for my birthday. Every charity is getting cuts this year.Chat Icon

Wine of the month! The site I gave you for beer has links for it. Or get a nice basket fill it with italian night pasta, spices etc and wine

Dont know how much you are willing to spend, or if you have siblings or someone to split the gift with, but there is a service that takes you out to the vineyards - 3 vineyards in one day, lunch at one of them, wine tasting at all of them. They pick up in Queen, Nassau and Suffolk and then bring you back to where they picked you up.

(In Nassau, it was at the Sears parking lot in HIckville).

Or just a g/c to one of the vineyards.

I love "experience gifts": tickets to a show, or purchase a class for them. There are some interesting classes that you can take in NYC and give as gifts. I think it is called Xperience days.
