Something serious, death of friend.
I wrote a letter to his parents, and they emailed me and thanked me and said I could come by and bring friends to their house sometime, I want to bring them flowers or something, whats something I could make or buy for the, to show that they mean a lot and they've been on our hearts and minds a lot?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but we dont know what to do.

Well, when my dad died, some of my friends got together and bought me a tree to plant in my yard in memory of him. That really meant a lot to me, and whenever I look at the tree, I think of my dad AND of how caring my friends were. Trees are pretty expensive, though, so if you can't afford that, you could maybe get them a nice flowering bush, or even a nice houseplant. Just some ideas... but I think plants are really nice gifts because they're so pretty and peaceful and they last a really long time.
I'm really sorry about your friend. =[

one of my friends passed away recently. this is what we did:
some kids (i helped a little bit) got some of the projects that she had done that year and made a poster out of it. we used pictures of her that were in the yearbook.
a lot of people sent them flowers, or sent donations to a special account set up for her to help pay off the medical bills, and maybe pay for her little brother's college.
a lot of people made different little posters and stuff, or sent pictures, of her.
in english class, our teacher gave us a free period when we could write letters to her family.
we bought a star and named it after her and gave the framed certificate to her family.
since i did yearbook, we dedicated a page to her. also, i bought a yearbook for her family and had all of her friends sign it. it was so amazing... the pages were all filled up with messages. then i gave the book to her family.
we are going to have a balloon release at her grave on her next birthday.
there was a memorial service at school.
in every class for a few weeks, there was a bouquet of flowers in her empty seat.
that's basically what we've done, i hope you can get some ideas from it. also, if your friend was on any teams or anything, get them involved in something. i'm sure everybody would be willing. my friend was in a lot of different organizations and everybody really reached out.

This is by no means a dumb question.
You could take flowers or food, but they probably have a lot of flowers, plants, and food already.
Have you considered pooling money with your friends to donate to them to help cover the expenses of his death?
Starting a memorial fund, in other words.
Or, if they have one already, donate to it. That is a great way help to the family in their time of mourning and loss. And it shows your care and concern for them.
I'm sorry for you, his family and friends for your loss.

I think flowers would be enough. But maybe, you can get them something that they both like. But nothing too big. Because they might think bad. Or they might think that you feel pity for them. I think flowers would be enough though. But that's just me.
