We hope in the near future to be able to purchase a home in our area. My in laws and my parents have both graciously told us that they will help us with the down payment.
I want to get them both something to show our appreciation. I also plan to write a heartfelt letter telling them all just how much we appreciate their help.
What gift would you get parents for this kind of generous help?

I would work on a a card showing appreciation for the parents they are or have it put professionally on a plaque. I don't know if I would purchase a gift. It wouldn't feel right to me to spend money on a gift when they are gifting you with money. I would definitely concentrate on writing out my appreciation to them as parents, how they are always there for you, selfless, want the best for their children, etc.

Wow, I have to write it out well, but you are correct, a gift probably is silly if they are giving us money.
Thank you. I really like the idea (OP)

The finest gift is a gift of oneself. Courtesy of Henry David Thoreau, not of Zenobia Zaqarias. Normal parents really do not want their financially-strapped children spending money on gifts for them. Thought, time and caring are what count, so the verbal, rather than material, expression of appreciation is paramount. A prompt invitation to a festive dinner or Shabbos in your new home, crowned perhaps with a homemade cake on which you have written "Thank You Mom and Dad, our house is your house (literally!)" or something like that, would be just the ticket.
