[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ever since I've known her, my MIL has given me what I'd describe as a hodge podge of 'generic nice items' for Christmas. Things like mugs, scarves, decorative dishes, lotions, etc. She has good taste and the items are nice/good quality, and I do like them! [/quote] Yeah - in her mind nice DIL gifts are like guest towels - fancy but impractical. If she asks again, I'd suggest something you know you could use anyway, but that doesn't scream "practical". Something you can find in a fancy gift store at a vacation spot. So - a vase, a throw or shawl, a wall hanging, a decorative beach bag or picnic basket... that kind of thing. She doesn't want to gift you anything practical! Maybe a tablecloth if it is very fancy and useless...[/quote]
