[quote=Anonymous]I let the kids choose birthday gifts. None of the grandparents need anything. Well, MIL is on a limited income but she much prefers a sentimental gift over a gift card. I usually ask the spouse if they want/need anything, and they always say just a call to wish them a happy birthday.

My dad's birthday is soon, so we're having a shutterfly candle made with a pic of him when he was little riding his horse. The kids think it's the most awesome invention ever. My dad is the most sentimental person I've ever met, so I figure it's a good mushy gift. When people see it he can a) gush over his grandkids who picked out a cool gift and b) talk about his horse and reminisce.

For Christmas we try to do bigger gifts, but honestly the most well received gifts have always been the sentimental ones, regardless of price. Like my mom cross stitches, and DD learned to as well. She's making my mom an ornament for Xmas. She picked an angel design to stitch, and it's pretty hideous. Not my mom's style at all. But I know that ornament is going to be the centerpiece of the tree forevermore. I could probably let that be the only gift and mom would be happy as a clam. [/quote]
