I am looking for some ideas on what to buy my in-laws. They have everything and are acutally quite picky. My brother-in-laws girlfriend just bought them a digital photo frame so I need a great gift as well. Thanks for any suggestions as they are much needed!!

Fruit of the Month from Harry and David. I get this for my parents every year and they love it. Healthy and not more stuff for them to put in their house.

To make life easier and it's about fun time but too many stress out over it. I prefer to give people gift cards or make something. Since your in-laws are picky, give them gift cards to a store they like or something. When you give it to them, you can say, I know that you like "such-and-such" and thought you can buy what you like and if you don't find something right away, you can hold on it. if it's something like a play then that is a different story, they'll have to go when the play is on. Don't stress over getting things for people. Gift cards will do and I love gift cards rather than people trying to give me something because then I can buy what I need or really want.

Hi L., How about a gift card to their favorite restaurant? Grandma Mary

Tickets to a sporting event, broadway play, or a gift card to a new restaurant that they want to try. Also, a donation to their favorite charity. A great book that you know each of them would love to read-one for him and one for her, or course. Lastly, if they like to get away, a night's stay in a geat hotel in a nearby destination (depending on your budget).

Good luck!

L.
I feel your pain. Every year I struggle with what to buy for my MIL. She dosen't have any hobbies, she has too many clothes (and she is heavy), she dosen't think anything for the house is a "gift" for her. She dosent like gift cards. My husband isn't a shopper and when I have sent him out to buy her gift, he spends too much money. I go thru this at Christmas, birthdays, and mother's day. To top it off almost everything she buys for me is wrong.
I would love some great gift ideas at a reasonable price.

Happy holidays

Hi there!

Gifts for the hard to buy...

You can email me for food gifts from Tastefully Simple @ ____@____.com

Omaha Steaks is good too.

We live far away from all our relatives so we just bought cameras for our computers and our relatives computers so they can see the kids.

Or you could check into a flower of the month club or fruit of the month.

We also do photo books and calendars from Kodak for my inlaws of our vacation with them that year.

For my parents last year we did a family portrait of all the grandkids and had one enlarged and framed for above their mantel.

Hope this helps.
Good luck!
Nicole

What about making a photo book or photo calendar through Kodak gallery, or buying them a gift card to purchase their own photos? I get the phot books and calendars for all the grandparents and they LOVE them. They come out really nice and the quality is great. They usually bring lots of happy tears which for me means I scored!!!

I know that I am a little late, but how about movie passes? Harry and David fruit of the month club? My in laws are picky too and in the past I have also given them gift cards for local restaurants they like. A $50 card to somewhere like Panera Bread means they can have several meals on you during the year! Hope that helps. Happy Holidays!
