Suggestions for parents living abroad

Options
My parents are living in Spain and I won't get to see them before Christmas :(

Any suggestions for a Christmas gift for them? I'd preferably like something I can purchase and send rather than me make something as I don't have a lot of time and hate post offices! I get them a calendar from Photobox every year with pics of the children so they'll have that. Mum likes wine. Dad is harder to buy for. They are taking my youngest to Florida next year so I thought something for that, but I'm stuck!
