Age old dillemma, what to get someone who has everything?

my step-father-in-law is rich, he is generous beyond believe, he feeds the homeless 5 nights a week, he loves his wife and her kids (and their wife's and children), he owns his businesses (he doesn't wear a suit or tie), he is a christian and is very devoted, he likes to cook (but has storage's full of cookware and recipe books), he doesn't wear cologne, he gives away watches that other people buy him... there are a lot of other factors... i'll edit once i remember.. He is always so nice with us, we love that my "ma" has found real love after being in a love-less relationship for so long, he takes good care of her and loves her so much. We just want to get him something for Xmas that shows him how much we love him too. We've already agreed on a beautiful christina card with some good chosen words from us but what kind of gift would be nice for him? i was thinking of some sort of Gourmet basket...
--------------------
Basket is a good idea but here's my take on it. Start with a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling water and 2 wine glasses. Include a gift certificate for a dinner and movie date or a couple's message at the local spa. If money isn't an issue, a special motel would be in order. We have a nearby B&B that dresses up individual rooms like different countries. But if the sparkling water and glass basket is all you can afford, it still gets the point across that you appreciate the man he is and what he's done for your mother-in-law and indulges him in what he probably wouldn't spend money on for himself.
