Although I did cringe a bit at Pichardo's "cheap" comment, I have to agree that for a couple in their 40's it might not be taken in the same way as if they were a young couple that have to decorate a new home... If you can afford it, a a paid weekend at a resort is a good option if you want to offer something different. If you're looking for something less expensive, then a nice docoration for the home is a good option or maybe a gift certificate to a Spa...
