Mr. CSD & I would not appreciate any type of liquor as a gift, we do not drink often and do not drink wine.

But I'm stumped at what to get her parents. They are both 70 and diabetic so chocolate is not such a good plan. And they have a ton of scented candles so that doesn't work. Any other ideas? I am totally stumped!

They are going on a road trip in their RV a couple of days after Christmas and will be gone like a month. Can you think of anything for that which would be helpful?
Gift cards to either a store or a place they can eat at.

I second the gas gift card. RV's use a lot of gas.

Not everyone would appreciate that. I know I wouldn't.

This will likely be an unpopular opinion but I do not do gifts this time of season. If there isn't a no gift giving agreement in place I would not attend...

At 70 years old and diabetic, food type gifts should be easy to chew and sugar free, so maybe cheeses and crackers? OR add sausage rolls for a snack? OR a fruit bowl/basket?

Or when going on an RV trip, sometimes it is nice on a road day to stop for lunch rather than cooking, so maybe a gift certificate for a chain that would be in their area? Cracker Barrel? Dennys? Subway? Try to think of places that would be in the area of their trip
