  • My mom: A pair of Murano glass earrings that we bought in Venice
    MIL: A music box that we bought in Sorrento
    FIL: Something for his iPad (we didn't see anything for him in Italy, LOL)

    Plus, everyone is getting some chocolate that we bought in Switzerland : )

    Our Italy trip made Christmas shopping very easy this year : )

  • Not sure on the inlaws quite yet. I think we're leaning towards a new GPS since they've been doing a lot of traveling lately.
    It's weird that this was the QOTD because I was going to go post as my Thursday confession that I basically tricked my parents into picking their gift. I wound up getting the two of them tickets to go see Mamma Mia on stage in Pittsburgh.

  • This is going to sounds awful, but I have no idea!
  • um...wedding albums. I know it's late. oh well. I was supposed to last year, but we didn't get our photo CDs until mid-late Dec. so there just wasn't time. I made ours too and I'm pumped to see it!!!

  • I have no idea what I'm getting my mom yet. Whoops. And my dad's family doesn't exchange gifts.

    MIL is getting new pajamas. FIL, who is a giant nerd and a man after my own heart, is getting a Doctor Who "build your own sonic screwdriver" kit.

  • I just bought tickets for my parents to see Gabriel Iglesias, the comedian.  They LOVE him and I know they will have such a good time at this show.  I'm really excited I was able to get them tickets!

    I have no idea what we are getting H's parents.  He is horrible at getting them something and doesn't even think we need to get them anything.  H's dad is 81 and not in the best health, so I feel like we need to make every holiday special because any one of them could be his last.  I hate saying that, but it's a reality we have to face.  I hope he figures it out soon.

  • Mom - calendars for home and their summer house Dad - some sort of first aid kit he asked for ILs - no clue H is responsible for them since I don't really speak to any of them.

  • @ystaalenburg that guy is so funny!!

  • My IL's - no idea. We do "Secret Santa" and none of us have to get everyone something. Technically H is the only one who has to get his dad something, but I want to do something small for them. 

    My dad - either a titans beanie or something of that nature. He loves to keep his bald head warm.

    My mom - http://www.ebay.com/itm/380732019832?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 this peacock. My mom loves the metal yard art (They live on 28 acres, so it's not like there's all this metal yard art in a neighborhood, it's in a private treed yard.) She already has Rusty the Rooster, the greeter for our wedding.

  • My parents are getting giant boxes of K-cups. She picked it out. Said they need nothing else but they always seem to run out of coffee.
    His parents haven't mentioned anything yet, but my MIL said yesterday "nothing, I've got my present already, new grand babies!"
  • I got my mom a few sweaters that she wanted.  My dad needed some new shirts, so that's what he got.  MIL wanted a few Alex + Ani bracelets.  FIL got some shirts.
  • Ok, xxjen015 your sign holder totally made me think of the post by the Blogess about her giant metal chicken named Beyoncé. Please tell me you have read this???
