MIL/FIL gifts

[Anonymous]

Can we start a collection of gift ideas.

Something that says, “I don’t know that much about your inner world and I don’t want to” and “please accept this gift as apology for my child clogging your toilet.”

Luxurious, but not so luxurious that it prompts any uncomfortable financial conversations.

I’m sure some of you have great selections.

Asked SILs if they wanted to go in on a gift (there are a bunch of us) for MIL on Christmas, and they actually said no, so it is now DHs responsibility.

I’m sure their son knows them better and has a closer relationship and thus can take care of this.

Please please please let all the whiny MILs manifest to say “I want lunch alone with my son without you.”

I donate to causes for them. Saving whales, otters, planting trees, cleanup efforts in the neighborhood they grew up in, etc. They don’t need anything.

The best answer in this thread. This is the way. Forget the damn gift exchange - no adult needs anything.

You do you. Some people like their in-laws and are actually ok with getting them gifts.
