What are you getting your parents

What are you buying them for the holidays? 

I need some big gift ideas for my aunt and uncle (and some others), since they are like parents to me, I figured maybe I can get some inspiration from you guys!

    My mom is pretty tough this year but we decided on a Keurig. She really wants one and it?s something my father would have gotten for her. We are also getting her a gift card for Barnes and Noble so she can buy some books for her Nook and probably some clothes.

     

    For my MIL and Step MIL they are both getting the same thing. My Step MIL is all about small local businesses and homemade stuff so I am making some soup in a jar mixes and some cookie in a jar mixes. I am going to also buy some big soup mugs and have Belle make handprints on them. My MIL is getting the same thing. We don?t have the best relationship with her and have no clue what to get her.

     

    For my FIL we will probably just get him some Summer Sausage (the gift box with cheeses also) from Hickory Farm. He loves that stuff and they live in the middle of nowhere so he doesn?t get it very often.

    I seriously have no clue. But I don't buy "big" gifts for my parents... they would rather us save our money.

    For my parents I think I'm going to get them a Royal Caribbean gift cert. They are going on a cruise in February, so they can use it for an excursion or towards some on board shopping.

    My FIL is getting married the weekend before Christmas, so I think we are going to get them one gift as a Christmas/wedding present. No clue what though! 

    I don't think I am getting my MIL anything actually. I'll get her some type of photo gift from Evan. The past 2 years she hasn't gotten us anything... she always says she didn't have time to shop or get to the bank etc, and she'll mail us something. But never does. I know that is not what the holiday is about, but she's on my sh!t list anyways! Plus it's always just awkward getting her and her H a nice gift and then having to hear her excuse of why we don't have anything.

    We aren't doing anything spectacular.  I went to wild birds unlimited and bought my dad a bell bird feeder since he mentioned getting one but wouldn't spend $25.  My sister and I are also buying him shoes.  My dad still thinks things cost what they did in the 1980's or something.  He can't imagine spending $60 for a pair of Nikes. 

    We have no idea what to buy my mom. I wish she would want a pandora bracelet. that would make my life so easy
