Help
Yes, I know I'm late, but they are impossible to buy for. They have everything, and they expect a real tangible gift. I can't donate to a charity in their name, because they say they want something to remember this Christmas by. (I personally LOVE giving to charities as a gift for someone rather than material gifts - they don't)
Ideology aside, I need to find something for them, they are in their late 60's and have everything, and have travelled everywhere. Any suggustions are truly appreciated!!!!

Do they have a digital photo frame? Those are good for people who have traveled everywhere (lots of photos) and have everything. Unfortunately that is usually part of "everything." There were a bunch on sale in the ads here this week. Bob bought a bunch to take apart for work. (For some reason they are cheaper than the part he is trying to source).

I was just going to suggest a digital photo frame. 
We got one for my in-laws (who have everything....) and they love it. You can get extra memory cards to fill up periodically so that they can easily add updated photos from you. Good luck!

Get them a SG gift certificate! Then when they ask "What on earth would we do with this..." You can say "You don't want it?" "Oh, Well I guess I will have to take it back!" 
Actually we have done several of the digital frames lately. They are awesome. I catch people here watching the frame instead of the TV!! lol And they have come down some in price lately...so you can get a 7" for as low as $60 or so. It is on sale at Staples right now.

My grandparents are pretty hard to buy for too...what about a gift certificate to a photographer to get their photos done...and wrap it up with a nice frame. I've done this before and it's worked well. If that doesn't work, I like the SG gift certificate idea that Lisa had, lol!
Good luck!
