Cards for fuel or places they like to eat on the road. It just makes travelling a little easier

If they like to read, a basic Kindle is great. Just a bit over $70 at $79 but worth it. If they already have a Kindle, get them an amazon.com gift card so they can buy ebooks. I bought the Amazon gift card at Walmart back where they sell the electronics.

Gift card is always a good idea. Can't go wrong w/ it.
If you want something physical I got hubby an indoor-outdoor thermometer that also tracks pressure & humidity. Also got one for his father. GREAT little gift for the RV and we all love it. We got THIS ONE for ourselves (matched our interior decor) and THIS ONE for his dad.

Some may have been mentioned:
1. Gas Cards or WalMart cards
2. Games/cards/books (I'd suggest a Nook or Kindle, but it's out of the range you suggested)
3. Perhaps buy a pass to the National Parks (www.nps.gov).
4. Do they have a camera? A small digital one might fit in your price range.
Happy Travels!

If any of my family buy me anything I have told them a gas card, if you buy anything for the house thank you but you had better like it. We fulltime and if we get something then something has to go out, I am afraid it mite be me.

Passport America 1/2 price camping membership. I got one for Christmas and we left AZ April 1 and in the first 2 weeks saved more than the membership would cost.

We saw my Father In Law admiring our BAL XChocks last summer so we got him that for a gift.
I would also recommend fuel card!

I agree with the gift card suggestion. Our kids & grandkids give restuarant & gas cards. Also, a gift card to WalMart is good..they have lots of items you need for an RV and food and clothing, too. Other items might include chairs, awning mat, outside table, small portable grill,or solar lights or rope lights to put around patio. You might have a sign made to put at their campsite..ours has our names & hometown.

My birthday was just a week or so back. Kids wanted to get me something for when we travel in our fiver, but couldn't find anything special or unique. Ended up giving me a mix of individually wrapped products from Omaha Steaks. Perfect, and something I'd never have thought of. The mix they got for me included a few steaks, marinated chicken breasts, hamburgers, gourmet hot dogs, twice baked potatoes, apple dumplings, etc. All individually wrapped and easily thawed in a sink of water. I keep them in my freezer at home. Before we leave, my DW and I figure out what we'd like to cook and simply throw what we want into the rig's freezer. Gotta love those bacon-wrapped filet's grilled over a fire...
I was really surprised, and appreciative of the thought. Might work for you, too.
