What do you want for yourself for Christmas and MIL vent

lkamenko

Ok, I usually don't vent about MIL, but I guess today is my turn.

She asked me on what I want for Christmas around thanksgiving and I gave her a choice of stores I want a gift card to and an option of a jewelry I saw she bought for herself, so I said something like that would be nice if she does not want to give a giftcard...

She talk to my DH yesterday and tells him she still did not buy me a present, because she does not want to buy me a gift card - it is "unpersonal" and the jewelry is too expensive and she has no idea what to get for me. So I need to come up with something else. But, but - it is, what, 4 days before christmas!$%^

Vent over.

Now the question: what would you ask for a gift from your MIL in a $50 - $100 range besides the gift card?

TIA.

Ugh. That's hard because all I really need are clothes! I did ask for a new jewelry box from SMIL. Are you a wine drinker? Maybe an electric wine opener & wine aerator from Brookstone (if you don't have them!) Are there any kitchen accessories you need or want? What about a nice new purse?

Welllll, what do you like to do? Do you have a hobby you need something new for? New shoes/workout gear? Scarf/gloves? Crafting stuff?  Fancy coffee?  Steam mop? Purse?

I do need clothes, shoes, but no way I am letting her choose those for me and I need to try things on. Thank you ladies for some good ideas. I like the new sheets idea and may be something for the kitchen...
