Show him this place!  My father is an older man & I recently sat down with him and asked a question for him. He LOVED it! You might have to teach your Grandpa a few things about computers first before he can do it for himself. \n\nI think the internet is wonderful for the elderly...helps them to connect to others in a way that society doesn't.

How about a present from the Oxfam Xmas catalogue. $150 can buy something that will benefit a whole community in Africa or India.\nWithout being too presumptuous, as they are both doctors I doubt they really need anything. \n\nI was bought a goat for an African village last Christmas and a bicycle for a midwife to use for my birthday and thought they were the best and most thoughtful presents. \nOxfam sends out a card thanking the person and explaining what their gift means to those in need.

I wonder  why  i am answering  this.MY  daddy  died APRIL  6, 2006. But  i  would get  them  both a  gift  that  has  you  in  it.  example  a  mug  cup  with  your  pictute on  it.They  look  expensive  often  times  costing  under  10  bucks.MAybe  something  you  made  example:A  box  of his favorite  cookies  or  a  cake  he  likes.OR  have  some  one  make  him one.I  had  a personal picture  cake  made for  my  day for  about  6  bucks.He  loved  it. Or maybe a  picture  wallet   of  photos  of  you  from  a  baby  till  now  .  Or  one of  the whole  family  he  can  tuck a  way  at  work  and  pull  out  to  new  people.  My  dad  had  a  small  picture  album  at  his  desk  i made of  me+ mom  +  our  dog  and  granny  and   the whole family. i  was  a  way  when  daddy  died  but<  mom  says  he had  the  picture album  i  made  5 years  ago  in  his  hand when  he  took  his last  breath. THose  are  things  dads  love.  things  where  your  in  it.   Happy  fathers  day daddy love  star

For your spouse----or for a couple?\n\nI gave (as a package decor) the cutest tree ornament of a couple in bed, and the sign of the bedspread said, ''Our First Christmas Together''.\n\nEven for your spouse-------something like this would be nice, and then, just a gift of something he/she would like.

Hopefully everyone that knows your Grandma will know that at age 77 you probably already have everthing you need or want.\nI wouldn't put it in writing, but I would tell people just what you said, Grandma doesn't really want gifts, but she would love cash to enjoy herself at the casino.\nStart with family members & the word should get around in time for the party.\nIf she happens to get gifts, volunteer to take them allback for her. That would be nice.

ask your mom and grandma when they had theirs for the 1st time. Around that age is your answer.

Yeah a picture frame is nice,like a sterling silver one she can put her wedding picture in.I bought my sister-in-law ( who got remarried at 60) a cute man and woman embracing plaque,that could stand on a little stand they give you or hung.It was only 10.00 at a craft store.She loved it.Just some little token of their love is great.

Here's some ideas I'd thought I'd share:\n\nFor Mum\n- Spa treat\n- Bath and body gift set\n- Festive holiday slippers\n- Personalized jewelry\n\nFor Dad\n- Book that interests him\n- Massage cushion for his chair\n- Subscription to his favorite magazine\n\nIf you'd rather get them something more personal, create a scrapbook filled with pictures of you and your parents. It'll remind your parents of those sweet memories that you spent together.\n\nWhatever you get them, I'm sure they'll like it. After all, you're their daughter.\n\nGood luck! ;)

I would go for something small and thoughtful, rather than "inexpensive".  If you talked with your FIL (father-in-law), I'm sure you could gather some quick information about the things she likes to do, her favorite cologne and such.  Maybe she's into crochet or knitting, then you could buy a pattern book and some yarn.  Or maybe she's into golf, you could get her some club-covers or some personalized golf-balls.  Or maybe she's into photography, you could get her a new camera bag.\n\nSome other, more general, ideas off the top of my head are:\n\nHallmark (or Wal-Mart, if you prefer) has some nice photo ablums, memory boxes and such.  \n\nA scrap-book starter kit with everything she needs except the photos to get started with scrap-booking.  \n\nA "frou-frou" bath set with bath crystals, lotion, soaps, ect.\n\nA gift certificate to a local salon for a manicure and/or pedicure.\n\nA robe and nightgown set.\n\nA set of mittens with a scarf and hat.\n\nIf all else fails, get a gift certificate for some place nice like "Bed, Bath and Beyond" or a nice restaurant as a couple's gift.

This is really sweet. Creative is good. I think you are on the right track with trying to find something special and a surprise. I think doing something together would be nice, without the child (no offense, but every mother could use some adult only time I am sure ;) \n\nHow about a mini vacation? Have the grandparents baby sit a weekend, and take her somewhere. Does not have to be far, maybe rent a hotel there in your town even ( a nice one, a hot tub in the room is always a plus), take her to a nice dinner (dancing is nice too). If you can afford to, or leave in decent distance to a large city, like Chicago or something, consider going there and getting a room. Then go out on the town. Depending on what city you go to, you can go to sites online and find out what there is to do, and cater your activities to things you would enjoy. Many large cities have horse drawn carriage rides around town as well. \n\nIf that is out of the question then maybe get a gift certificate to a spa for the day for both of you to enjoy together. Or you take lessons in something you both enjoy together, maybe dance or some sort of art lessons. \n\nThis is what my boyfriend and I have decided to do. We are taking the money we would spend on a gift and putting it together and planning a vacation in the spring. If you could afford to, maybe spring for a nice trip. You could always put the plane tickets in a huge box and wrap it ;)
