Been searching online but nothing really stands out. My mom/his wife passed away last year so something I can include her in any way would be great. TIA

Maybe a favorite photo of you as a child with your parents in a really nice frame? Not necessarily a professional photo but a candid shot that represents a great memory you had as child with them? Something he can hang up.

A Christmas ornament in her remembrance could be nice. As well as that picture idea.

About 25 years ago, when we were kids, dad would give us his t-shirts as sleep shirts. I distinctly remember one shirt in particular. I found two on all of the internet. Bought one for him and one for me. I know there is a picture of me in it and if I lived in town I would go through all of his old picture to find it, but I doubt I'll be able to.
ETA: Holy shite. Picture was actually in an old scrapbook the wife reminded me of. Nice!

Have a painting made of one of your dad's favorite photos of her.
Or on a smaller budget, have someone who knows how to work with Photoshop use photo of her and add Photoshop effects to make it look like a painting, then use that to get a canvas print done from somewhere like Shutterfly

Or you could even combine the two and put the picture in an ornament. Like this...
He could make a set of ornaments with various pictures in them.

Just a suggestion: Gather up the old videos and have them moved to a DVD if they're film, or parts of them combined on one DVD if they're already on disc.
Pick the good memories, maybe start with their wedding or dating years, and on thru kids, holidays, etc. If any are old 8mm, no sound, add music (some of his and your mom's favorite songs/bands/singers through the years.)

Something that originated from the year they first met, or year they got married. Like a book that was written in 1964. Or something antique created that year.
eBay is full of stuff from various years. I've been toying with the idea of getting my old man something from the year he was born. Like a Hemingway 1st edition or something.

For years thats exactly what we gave him and my mom for Christmas. We would give them a trip or buy them hotels/tickets to concerts/comedy shows across the south.

Air brush tee shirt with your mom's likeness on it and like clouds and angels and stuff in the background and RIP her name. There are places in almost every mall that provides this service
