Holiday Gift Ideas for Parents

I asked this question before but it was very specific because I thought I knew what to get now I am second guessing myself so I am looking for some ideas.

Both my parents and my ILs watch my DD during the week. My ILs 2 times a week and my parents either 1x or 2x. Plus they watch her whenever we need them to--whether that is drive to our house that is 30 mins away no matter what.

Anyway--I am looking to get both sets of parents the same gift this year and I want to spend at least $500 per set of parents. I feel that they are providing my DD with great care and saving my DH and I alot of money for daycare. That being said I was thinking of doing a Bed and Breakfast out east but keep going back and forth about it. We do not want to do a weekend in the city because we have done that before for them when we were first married.

Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone else in the same situation and have a good idea!
THanks if you got this far!!
TIA

Yes my parents, well my mom watches my daughter 5days/wk while I work f/t.

So I send them on vacation.

Could you do something like that? Put the $500 together and Maybe do a weekend getaway?

We spent $$$ last year and as a last minute thing I made them photo books of DS. This year, they all said no gifts, just the photo books, so that is what I am doing.

Thank you!

Atlantic City?
a hotel and some gambling?
Connecticut? Boston?
Out to LI vineyards?

For $250 I would consider a nice bag for the ladies and a nice watch for the men?

Something they wouldnt go out and purchase themselves.
Ya know?
