[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the suggestions! I like the idea of a sincere note and a homemade (or homemade-ish) dinner. You're all probably right that simple is better. The photo idea is nice too, except that my mother-in-law is a very good amateur photographer and enjoys taking photos of the kids and printing out her favorites. Not only do they already have tons of photos in their house, but most of the photos we (and my parents) have are also from her. But maybe something like a photo mug, or travel mug, or calendar? Like one of these things: http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-gifts. Has anyone gotten anything particularly nice along those lines?[/quote]

We've done photo gifts from Shutterfly for the grandparents. On the one hand it's kind of like, who needs another coffee mug. BUT it's my mom's favorite coffee mug, so I consider it money well spent. The other two "hits" were a photo Christmas tree ornament and a desk calendar. Yeah, they're kind of tchotchkes, but in our case the grandparents loved them. I made sure to use photos they hadn't seen.[/quote]
