Need Christmas Gift Ideas

I know it's still a bit early but I'm home with a broken ankle and very bored so I started my x-mas shopping.

I need ideas for DH's parents both recently retired. They like to cook, and play golf, he likes to garden, she likes to read.

They are building a house in FL and will be moving about this time next year. I don't really want to get them anything major that they will have to move. We got them clothing type gifts last year. Mother's day we gave her home decorating books and father's day we gave him "the Florida gardner's encyclopedia". They loved those gifts. Budget is around $50 each or $100 for a joint gift, and I am clueless.

Any suggestions?

I have a cookbook called "Cooking for Two." I haven't used it yet, but it has recipes designed for two people, so it's good for older people, with no kids living at home - I saw a bunch of these types of cookbooks on Amazon too.
