What is a good holiday gift for a couple w/no children

Just to give some background:

These two people are our cousins, married, mid 40's with no kids. They are incredibly generous with our children for all of the holidays. They always buy them something for Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays, Easter etc...always something very nice and unique.

What could I buy for them? Any ideas - roughly want to spend 100$ or more......

depending on what it is......TIA

They love to travel, love the finer things in life - i would love to get them something different and they can both enjoy......TIA

Since they like to travel, what about a gift certificate to snapfish or maybe a gift certificate to an airline.

I love getting GC to restuarants and the movies.
Also wine of the month club or wine gift baskets
Tickets to a show would be nice too!

Depending on their taste in food, you can send them a nice dinner via legal seafood or omaha steaks. If you'd like to go down the GC route, maybe a GC to a popular airline since they travel...

Re: What is a good holiday gift for a couple w/no children

I think a GC to a nice restaurant would be great. Can you find out what their favorite place is?

DH and I love wine, but we hate the wine of the month clubs... Honestly, the wine is rarely very good and the giver is way overcharged for it.

Re: What is a good holiday gift for a couple w/no children

do they like to cook? maybe a fancy serving platter with a cookbook and some cooking sauces from williams and sonoma.
i also think tickets to a show is a really nice idea.

Re: What is a good holiday gift for a couple w/no children

Thank you ladies for all your ideas.
I think I will give them a GC to their favorite restaurant. I also love the Williams and Sinoma idea with the cooking platter since they like to eat and cook!!

Thanks again everyone!
