I'm no help, but my dad just had knee surgery so I got him travel cups, new pillows, a word search book, then I got them both a big basket full of food from Neuske's.
ETA I also did a shutterfly calendar and sent them A's school pics

I bought him a mouse pad on Shutterfly with a pic of the kids on it for him to use at work. I also got him some pistachios and a Tim Horton's gift card.
Any chance of getting hi a gift card to either total wine or maybe norms beer and wine in Vienna? Oh, I think there might be a new wine shop in oakton. My parents are part of our gift exchange group, but Joshua got him a solar powered squirrel lantern from cabela's. My dad has had it out for the neighborhood squirrels for 40 years now.
Not sure this will help you but my brother and his wife + my family go in together for my dad. We got him: gift card for skiing, Apple TV For FIL, we got him: a gift card to the local casino since he loves going with MIL (actually they don't do gift cards so we bought a chip for the tables that he can redeem) and some books he's been wanting from his favorite author.

My gift is pretty great this time. Last year for Christmas he bought us everything we could ever need to go tent camping. During the summer he came out to the lake we camped at and helped us set up. H recently drew a very detailed drawing of our campsite so I'm framing it for him.

We went in with my brother to get him a drill. Or maybe it was a saw? Some kind of expensive power tool. My SIL took care of it all. I was just thrilled he gave us an idea.
