[quote=Anonymous]Mine is a very generous MIL in terms of time and gifts and just general thoughtfulness. I try to buy something more personal. But she has so much I find things are sometimes hard. Despite my DH being one of 4 kids our 2 kids are her only grandkids and she is besotted with them.

for gifts I tend to do something that she can share with them as its her favorite thing to do; one of the most successful was afternoon team for 2 for her and my DD.   I felt weird as it was like here is the gift of you babysitting my kid...but she loved that excuse for 1 on 1 time without Mommy rules on treats in a special place. They went shopping, had afternoon tea etc.. am sure it came out as more of a gift for my DD than was intended, but MIL still talks how much fun she had and would like to do again.

For herself she really loves dance and I have in the past when events match with a birthday/Christmas bought her tickets to a show, art gallery, always for 2 and sometimes dinner attached. She goes with a friend. She has a;ways liked these as its something she likes to do and is interested in.
