Gift ideas needed - 25th anniversary and sick grandfather
I could use some suggestions on gift ideas... We're going to a 25th anniversary party for my aunt and uncle this weekend, and I am at a bit of a loss as to what to get them for a gift. I'm not really sure what hobbies they have, if any, other than that my aunt is a big football fan and they like to travel to the Caribbean and Hawaii... Right now my only thoughts are a nice picture frame or a gift certificate to a restaurant. I'd like to spend $100 or less.
Also, my grandfather is in the hospital for the second time this year. Last time, I sent peanut brittle (his favorite), but they've now diagnosed him as diabetic so that's out. I am sure he doesn't care much about flowers, and he hasn't used the puzzle and sudoku books my cousin sent last time. I won't be able to see him for another two weeks, so I would like to send something to show we're thinking of him. He's mostly deaf, so I can't even talk to him on the phone, which sucks.
Any brilliant ideas? I am feeling very uncreative lately and should really move on both of these soon. TIA!

Not sure how long he is going to be there, but we got my grandmother soft pajamas to wear at the hospital.
25th is the 'silver' anniversary i think. Could you get a double silver frame, engrave it with their wedding date, put in a wedding picture & then send them a picture from their party for the other slot.
Could your grandfather eat plain nuts? Every old man I know loves pistachios. I don't know why this is other than I agree they are good. Does he read at all?
