Great gift for married twenty-somethings?
I want to get a going away gift (I'm going away, actually) for two people who have been good friends and looked out for me the last few years.
They are married (to each other), just under 30, and expecting a baby.
They both like to go out fishing in brackish waters.
They enjoy going out to eat (though being pregnant has limited that a bit - nothing with a strong smell)
They like the beach, drinking (again, when not pregnant), and enjoy listening to music.
They are also both well-connected to their respective families.
What can I get for them? My price range is $50-$100.

Kind of nerdy, but I finally bought this knife sharpener kit and it is such a joy to always have razor sharp knives. I was never able to get good at sharpening knives with a stone or a sharpening steel but this seems fool proof

How about a nice bottle of wine with a promise that you'll come back to share it with them when she's able to drink it?

We ( a mid-20's married couple) love getting movie tickets or gift certificates to restaurants. It's basically buying us a nice date.

Maybe a cool poster/print, framed, for the baby's room! Something that will remind them of you, like a band you all like (TheSmallStakes has awesome music posters). Or a neat alphabet poster in a font you like.

A chest freezer! For storing fish and food and it is useful and fairly cheap. Many 20-somethings are at the point where they want one, but haven't gone out and spent money on it yet.

One of those auto-rocker swings for the baby. They will kiss your feet for giving them the Naptime-is-Right-Now spell.

A gift subscription to Netflix for three months-ish?

Response by poster: I wish I had posted a couple days ago, because these are great ideas. I went with a gift certificate to an upscale wine marketplace/restaurant, because I only had an hour to do it.
