Restaurant gift certificates or wine clubs are also a good idea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430272 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:58:06 +0000 mrsmenow 430272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: If only a grandchild were a good, happy thing, but to my MIL it is not:(</p> <p>Thanks for some ideas guys, I dread this part of the holidays... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430229 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:25:54 +0000 Smurfette 430229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got them a cornhole set.

For MIL I got her two quilting books with some newer updated patterns &amp; for FIL...not sure yet MIL suggested pajama pants :-/ She got him a kindle fire so we might buy him a book on there so he has to use it to read. He has a regular kindle but only uses it for scrabble lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430183 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:59:09 +0000 PurplePumps 430183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A gallery frame set with pictures of everyone in the family.

Last year we also did the grilling basket, and this year I'm making a Margarita basket. A couple of Williams Sonoma mixes and salts + tequila. I don't know if you know what Tervis tumblers are, but they are suuuper popular in the south. We had one personalized with DS's picture for my FIL, and a Margaritaville one with his wife's name for her to go in the basket, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430053 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 19:03:06 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 430053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got my FIL a really nice polo shirt and my MIL a Pottery Barn throw blanket. They are pretty hard to shop for since they pretty much have everything they need! I got my Mom a new kitchen stool and my Dad a golf polo, lol. </p> <p>When in doubt, get a polo I guess! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430046 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 18:52:55 +0000 Sammyfab 430046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went in on a gift with DH's brother and SIL and got her a new digital camera. I drew her name for the family exchange and I got her a new camera case off etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430044 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 18:49:40 +0000 HLK208 430044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue! Maybe I'll put together some Starbucks mugs, coffee and such in a basket...that seems cold but we really are not close. At all. I have no idea what MIL likes and we don't see FIL or do we speak with them so probably nothing (that feels so bad to say). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-giving-your-ils-for-christmas#post-430043 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 18:43:31 +0000 mrsmenow 430043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is not very close with MIl and we struggle each year what to get her a gift for Christmas. We usually give her and her husband a joint gift. Last year it was a grilling cookbook and some really awesome sqewers from William Sonoma. I told DH he was in charge this year and he said he was going to get her a cheese tray (yes, I am serious). He is taking his time asking SIL for ideas and I figure I better come up with a suggestion or it will get done last minute.</p> <p>What are your go to gifts when you have no idea what to get somebody </p>
