Parents 25th wedding hamper ideas

Hello all,
Just a few ideas needed on this lazy (might be just me!) saturday afternoon if possible.
My parents are going away in april for their 25th anniversary to the same place they stayed in 25 years ago, and i was thinking of sending down a hamper of things for the owners to place in the room prior to their arrival. At the moment i've got as possible items for the hamper; A letter from each of us expressing how much they mean to us, a collection of old photos and some posh chocolates. Being a student working of countless essays im a bit stuck for ideas, anything else would be amazing!
Thanks in advance x

    What a lovely idea, I would suggest a bottle of bubbly if your budget can stretch to that, if not some of the new world sparkiling white wines are really good, you cna get them for about £7 or £8. Maybe some paperingness like some massage oil or smellies?

    you could make them a comilation cd of tunes from the time they met.
    (ok so maybe the room won't have a player but they could play it in the car trip home...)
