Christmas ideas
in Holidays
Just wondering if anyone had any fresh ideas for Christmas. We need to get something for DH's parents and his brother and his gf/fiance. Price range is around $50 for each gift, though we are willing to go a little higher. Thanks!

Re: Christmas ideas
my read shelf:
I am big on basket type gifts for couples.
This is what I have been thinking for my sister and bil. They do not have netflix, but my sister would like it. Usually since I am a member they will send me a deal or two on presents. I am thinking I will get them 3 months plus a blanket (fleece last year I got one for 4.00 at Walmart that I love), a bottle of wine/case of beer/pop, Box of popcorn, some candy so they can have a movie night.
Do they have a favorite restaurant?
Do a Game night basket-get a game, some snack foods, etc.
Ditto on the basket gifts, and like PP said the movie one is always a good choice! There are so many themes you could do.
We are getting a GC for MIL to get a membership to Sam's club (thats well under $50, so you could get something else).
Honestly, I just type random things into the Amazon search bar and see what comes up. Lately, I end up looking for stuff like "cat lady gifts" or "redneck stuff."
I know a lady whose favorite Christmas gift is the calendar with all her kids' and grandkids' birthdays on it. Might be good for his parents.
Have the brother/fiance registered? That would make that easy. Or something you know they want for the wedding.
I am all about experiences over material things these days, so maybe a movie or dinner or theater CG for his parents?
We took everyone on a Spirit of New York dinner boat last year for Christmas - rather than giving gifts (we did get some things for the kids to open).
There are these small digital video recorders - I saw at Kohl's 20-40% off. They can fit in a purse, not a pocket though.
I do resturant gift cards w/ a bottle of wine and chocolates in cute wrapping.
A serving platter w/ homemade cookies.
Your brother and fiance may like one of those Established signs w/ thier wedding date - I think Kim's signs is the store name - they run about $25-$30.
Simple Human trash can, something from PB or Crate and Barrel. They may want to start getting Christmas decor.
Tickets to a show.
Perfume and cologne.
What about giving an experience instead of a present? We're planning on taking my BF's parents to a hockey game this year. This way we get to spend time with them and know they'll enjoy it.
I don't have any ideas for your brother and FSIL, maybe something from their registry, like a PP said?
