Dude, your
My family and I are moving soon and since Christmas is right around the corner i was thinking about getting my parents a housewarming gift for our new place. We haven't moved in yet so there isn't much i can say about the place but it's pretty standard. I don't have that much to spend but if i could get some good gift ideas that would be great. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.

That's very sweet and I'm sure your parents will love any gift from you. I think a "Home Sweet Home" Christmas ornament maybe with the year on it would be a nice idea...something they could keep forever and always remember the first Christmas in their new house.

Nice gift for parents?
Matt
I would like to buy a nice gift for my parents. Looking at the $100-$400 range.
Any ideas?
Answer
I'd have more suggestions if I knew your parents and their interests...
One year I went to a professional photographer on my own (secretly) and had a portrait photograph done of me in a really nice outfit. Then I purchased a 8 x 10 and framed it for them and got some smaller prints, including wallet sized copies.
It was a very special gift that they really appreciated, especially since they didn't have any recent photos.
Another year I came up with an idea I did several times. My parents had some really nice fine china from Germany, and had lost a few pieces. It was no longer easy to find. I searched till I found a place to buy some from, and bought them some pieces to fill out their set. I did this several times till they were back to having a full set of 12 of all pieces. This worked because they had and cherished their fine china. If your parents don't have fine china, this obviously won't work.
Another neat gift would be to take them out one night to a fancy restaurant for supper, and have a photographer come take a family photo of you all.
If they don't treat themselves to special things, finding something special to treat them to is really wonderful. But it takes really knowing them and what they'd love but won't treat themselves to.
You could buy a favorite food like lamb or lobster, etc. and cook them a really super special meal, and serve them a candlelight meal so neither of them would have to cook or clean up, and maybe get a CD of some romantic music to play as they dine. This works if you're a good cook.
As you may have noticed, I like to use a personal touch to make a gift special. The nicest gift is a gift of yourself, through making something or creating something special by your thoughtfulness.
Other ideas given to you that were GREAT include:
========================================
The digital photo frame... but ONLY get the LARGEST ONE... I think the largest I've seen was about 11" x 15" - then get the right media and put a bunch of special photos on it for them and have it loaded already with really special photos... I saw a lovely large frame last week at Sam's Club. You have to have a neighbor take you shopping for that one... so they don't catch you.
A GPS with a mapping or topo map program are really neat -IF- they travel a lot, or like tech things. A really great recent one is DeLorme Topo 7 with their NEW PN-20 GPS. And it's just within your price range.
