The best answer in this thread. This is the way. Forget the damn gift exchange - no adult needs anything.

I donate to causes for them. Saving whales, otters, planting trees, cleanup efforts in the neighborhood they grew up in, etc. They don’t need anything.

I’m sure their son knows them better and has a closer relationship and thus can take care of this.

Asked SILs if they wanted to go in on a gift (there are a bunch of us) for MIL on Christmas, and they actually said no, so it is now DHs responsibility.
