Gift idea for my parents who watch my kids

My parents have watched my kids 3 days a week while I worked since my twins were 6 mo. They are now almost 3.5 and my ds is 14 mo.
I am forever grateful to the for what they have done for us!

They will be done watching them in June and I want to do something special for them.

It can't be a lot of $$ because I know my mom well and she wouldn't want that...so no vacations etc

Any ideas of what I can do for them???

Re: Gift idea for my parents who watch my kids

My mother in law watches our son 2x a week & she did so much to help while I was on bed rest with #2.. We wanted to get her something special for her bday so we got get a gift certificate for a massage at a spa by us. Not sure if your parents are into that, but I thought it was perfect to say thank you!!

How about tickets to a show and a prepaid credit card for dinner before or after the show?

I would get them a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. Or a few gift cards to place they like to get take out from this way they don't have to cook for a few nights.

A photo book of them & the kids from the first day they watched them to the last.

It's not $$$, and will be loved.

You can also toss in a gift card for a restaurant!

My mom watches DS and my parents are exceptionally difficult to shop for. We gave them a gc for a full family shoot with us and DS because they didn't have many good quality pictures of themselves with him. Or good family pix since our wedding. After the shoot I made them a ton of prints, a very nice photo book, and various other photo gifts. They loved it

Thanks everyone!
I already make her photo books a few times a year and we are doing tix and dinner for their bays.

Maybe I'll do a gift cert to a nice restaurant they wouldn't typically go to and maybe make them something with the kids.
