A nice collection of teas from tea forte and some pretty tea cups.

If they liked Blue Apron, do it again.

Enough with this.

Yes, enough with women acting like it’s their job to over-ride their husband’s priorities and relationships with the other adults in his life, and acting like they have to swoop in and “save the day” by imposing their will and priorities on the gift-giving dynamics.

Sounds like the ILs have appreciated her gift choices in the past. Her DH’s lack of ideas does not mean he doesn’t want the family to give them a gift.

Psssst…OP can provide ideas, and her husband can do the work of actually getting the gift.

The grocery stores have a nice selection of holiday-trimmed gourmet and imported gift items.

I really like Uncommon Goods. I’ve always found good gifts there. We got my SIL and BIL a make your own gin kit this year.
They have options for cooking, gardening, home decor.

You can get photos made into just about anything (ornaments, mugs, blankets, calendars, puzzles, totes, etc.). I bet they’d like something with pictures of their grandchild.

Digital Photo Frame

A grandparent’s memory book that they can fill out (this might appeal to some, but others might resent it)

streaming subscription

consumables (chocolates, wine, baked goods, etc.)

another Blue Apron gift card (or other meal kit service)

Coffee table book of a place or topic that interests them. Succulent in nice ceramic pot.

One of those photo frames you can email photos to

Spices, marinades, olive oil, indoor herb garden, a plant, matching Cody socks, digital picture frame.

Jigsaw puzzle.

We’re Jewish but spend Christmas with my in-laws (MIL is Jewish but FIL is not) and we do Santa with our kid, so we do exchange presents on Christmas morning. I’m at a loss of a small gift to get for my inlaws for hosting and so they have something to open during gift exchange. Husband isn’t much help thinking of anything.

They are very Covid cautious. Last year we did a Blue Apron gift card which they liked and the year before a gift card to a restaurant local to them (prepandemic). They don’t have any obvious hobbies to align a gift with.

So yea, any ideas?
