Sounds like low self-esteem all around. Why not get something supportive or loving for them? Perhaps a book about finding one's purpose, some type of wellness treatment (ayurvedic massage or time with a nutritionist), meditation cds. And you know, if they are starved for love and attention - give them just that. I would go rather for a gift of experience. You could take them to a concert where good vibrations prevail (Mozart especially!), for a nice dinner or to the zoo.
You will not be able to "cure" them with a gift, but you can give them a nudge in the right direction. Good luck!
