Something that has been a popular gift that I've given over the years is a nicely framed photograph that I've taken. I just chose a photo that I thought suited them... whether a nice landscape, flowers, mountains, even a picture I've taken at a Flames game. I had it enlarged, usually to 8x10, and then purchased a nice frame with the matting already in it (because I couldn't afford custom framing) and put it all together. It looked really sharp, and the person receiving it really appreciated it, as it's from the heart - kind of a home made kind of gift. And it only really cost about $30 bucks.
Since there seems to be a few photography enthusiasts on CP (thanks for all the great tips btw!) this might be an option for gift giving.
