If you don’t know about any, ask a friend or perhaps get ideas from the internet. About.com also has an entire hobby section where there are many crafts to choose from.
Your Favourite Childhood Book – Buy your mum a copy of your favourite childhood book and write a thank you note inside for always reading it to you when you wanted her to.

Make them A Playlist – Burn your parents a CD or make them a spotify playlist of music to listen to when they’re alone, commuting to work etc. Make sure to choose the songs you knew they love — it’s a great way to show them how much you pay attention to their interests.
