Need help - parents going to Australia for Xmas

I am totally at a lost as to what to get my parents for Xmas they are going to Melbourne for 6 weeks to stay with my sister for Christmas this year and I am at a total loss at what to get them. This is the second time they have been out this year so they are fairly well off and can buy themselves what they want.
They are very good to us and I would like to get something they would appreciate - can spend £60 between them. Thought it might be nice to get something related to their trip but totally lost as to what so I was hoping that someone here might have some inspiration.
My sister and I dont worry about exchanging gifts and we buy for our own children and stick labels on as if the other has bought it as it is far simplier so just Mum and Dad to do.
Thanks

    is there a day trip you can buy in advance or hot air bloon etc maybe a secret phone call to your sister to find out whats going on in the area or a night in a hotel?
  • How about sending a parcel with things they can't get out in Oz that they will miss. If you send it to your sis beforehand then she can give it to them on xmas day. Im sure they would be touched by the thought and effort involved
