My DH doesn't do the hunting and fishing stuff - he loves music and movies - but that stuff is hard to buy when you don't know what they really want and need. My Great Aunt always sent us a pineapple pound cake from Harry & Davids. He loved it. He actually looked forward to it every year. He also loved it when my friend would bring him a plate of his favorite cookies. I found out my BIL loved it when I would send a 2 pound box of Sees Chocolates at Christmas, when my sister told me one year they were not eating those types of sweets anymore, he told me not to listen to her, he loved getting the Sees. My mother quit baking about the same time I left home (I was 19), and so one of her lady friends would make send him a plate of cookies every time she made cookies.
So don't underestimate the gift of food, they may really appreciate it.
