Gift ideas for BIL and SIL
We're celebrating Christmas with B & SIL this weekend. SIL always goes way overboard with gifts so I feel like I haven't gotten them enough. Can you help me think of ideas for them?
So far I have candy, socks and bath products. We did buy a gift card so they can buy a scanner, but that's about it. I did buy a bracelet for SIL and an ornament for BIL.I will likely buy Starbucks cards for both of them and likely some wine/hard cider.
Ideas about them: SIL is British, both like to cook. BIL paddles for exercise. They both have fancy bikes. They just moved to a new place in Portland, but I know nothing about their place. Any ideas?
Re: Gift ideas for BIL and SIL
If they like to cook, that's a good starting point. Maybe head to Sur la Table or Williams Sonoma and ask for some good gift ideas? You could always put together a gift of an interesting cook book and a few cooking supplies that might be used with some of the recipes. Or maybe a gift set from the Oil & Vinegar store in Bellevue Square? I love to cook and got a set of gourmet herb-infused balsamic vinegars for Christmas and I absolutely love it. Or maybe gift them a cooking class they could take together?
Another thought, you mentioned getting them wine or hard cider. If they are into wine, most wine shops have a lot of good gift ideas if you want to form a gift around wine. If you're in Issaquah (?), check out Wine Styles. Would they enjoy being enrolled in a wine club that would ship to them? A lot of the local wineries have options for gifting a wine club membership.

We did Penzy's sets last year for them and they liked them! There is a Penzy's in downtown Seattle, did you know that?
No, but I avoid Seattle like the plague and would much rather buy them online.

Don't do any spices then if you did those last year.

DH is a total cook/foodie and loves some of the spice blends from World Spice (https://www.worldspice.com/) Merchants. It's an awesome little store, super high quality spices (it's downtown).
Other ideas: Wine aerator or decanter. High quality chocolate and olive oil (check out Delaurentis (http://www.delaurenti.com/). ETA: also, really nice balsamic vinegar (make sure it's the real stuff, Delaurenti will have it).
