I know, right?! My hubby and I argue about this a lot, but he tells me that it's an Asian thing. The thing is...I'm Asian! Lol. Oh well....one less thing to shop for. </p> <p>I grew up with Christmas being a holiday of unwrapping gifts around the Christmas tree. Then I see them opening a card and waving the cash in their hands. Makes me sad. </p> <p>One year, I was so mad that they didn't get my LO a Christmas gift for his first Christmas. But that's another story... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986546 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:47:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1986546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are seeing my MIL for Christmas so I am making her a gift tower:</p> <p>1) Body butter, Eos lip balm, Mascara (Bath &amp; Body Works sale!, I found a top ten list of best mascaras and will get that from Ulta, Eos is at Target, which is where I found the gift box for the top tier).<br /> 2) Snowflake Pretzels (Crate &amp; Barrel sale!)<br /> 3) PJs in her favorite color (Soma sale!)</p> <p>Gifts are more special when the presentation is pretty. The tower will have a rectangular base, followed by a round tin, topped with a smaller rectangle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986539 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:44:24 +0000 travellingbee 1986539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DisneyBee: They REQUEST cash?

They specifically told us not to buy them anything but I feel weird not getting them anything! They can't complain about an LO picture, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986479 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:23:11 +0000 DisneyBee 1986479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in-laws always request cash. Plus, I will also give them my son's school pictures with our Christmas card.</p> <p>One year, we bought them a nice set of bath towels and hand towels from Pottery Barn, but they complained and now want cash. :( I even got them a gift card to Macy's one year before my DH and I were married, and they still complained. So cash, it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986210 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:09:27 +0000 luckypenny 1986210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get them a calendar from pinhole press each year with photos of the kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986206 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:07:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 1986206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got them tickets to Jerry Seinfeld stand up that's coming in a few months, although that is more for FIL so we got MIL a personalized calendar, perfume, and a mani/pedi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986195 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 08:58:43 +0000 fancyfunction 1986195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL wanted carry-on luggage plus we get the grandparents a photo book of everything from the past year (but at this rate it may be an after-Christmas gift) ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-inlaws-for-christmas#post-1986143 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 08:15:50 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1986143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL we got a couple books from a used book store and a gift card to a local desert shop she loves.
