I have no idea. MIL really likes photo gifts, so I was thinking about one of those photo afghans from CVS, but they're like $110 after taxes! I just don't think I can pay that much since we also have to buy everybody else's gifts AND we have E's birthday party two weeks before Christmas. I'd like to keep it around $50. So I need some inspiration...what are you planning on buying?
Re: What are you getting the In-laws for Christmas?
A lump of coal!
If I like MIL, I'd order a photo calendar from shutterfly for her. I love shutterfly.
My sister ordered these from etsy.com last year! She said its super easy t work with her and she really liked how they came out! Seems like a cool gift for a grandparent!

We had proffesional pix taken and we are just doing a photo in a frame and calling it a day! So boring but we have to save money too!
If I had my way, they'd be getting nothing. But in reality, they will probably just rcv prints from our family Christmas photos scheduled on 12/11.

We're going to make photobooks for them. Either from snapfish, shutterfly, or picaboo .... whoever has the best deal going on. Recently we got a free photobook from picaboo (retails for $30 they might have that deal again) and it came out beautiful. I'm sure the inlaws will love their present this year.
I just keep an eye on baby cheapskates facebook page for the newest deal on these
I WISH this is all we did. It's not so bad on my DH's side, we usually just buy for his parents, brother, and grandfather...but on my side, everybody buys for every.single.person! I tried suggesting that we just buy for the kids and then draw names for the adults but they weren't having it. So I think I'll just be getting crafty with some homemade gifts this year!
What about a gallery wrapped photo canvas of your LO? I'm doing a few of these for our family (and for us). It's normally an expensive gift and looks like it but, this site is offereing a great sale right now (if you order the 8x10" it's free, just pay the shipping):
