Buying for the inlaws.

I am sure we brought this up last Christmas but I am wondering what everyine is doing for their inlaws. I guess it could be said that we are not really close with The Mr's family and therefore never seem to know what to get them. In the past we have gotten them books, restaurant gift certificates, a framed photo...this year we are at a bit of a loss.

Re: Buying for the inlaws.

  • Because of my in-laws hardships, we'll be covering the cost of food when we all (DH, me, 2 BILs, DH's nephew) converge on their house for Christmas. We went everyone to feel like it's Christmas despite their hardships, so we're going all out on food.

     

  • We decided to get them the framed family photos that they had talked about getting after the wedding but couldn't afford.  Lame, but something that they wanted.

  • I think we are giving them a gift card to a resturant and also a note saying thathey are to use it on themseleves and we will keep their youngest daughter (who is 9) with us. They never do things by themselves so we think that they will enjoy some alone time. They are also getting a coffee mug that was colored by Jaiden and framed christmas photos of him too.

  • After a lot of soul searching lately, I've decided to give up my "She gives the Best Gifts Ever!" title; MIL will get a check from DH (what they used to do, pre-me) and this year I will send flowers. I had to find a way to take some of the pressure off. A little un-inventive, but it will have to do. Still don't know what to do for my own parents.
