Last year, before I was engaged to my fiance I gave his family a big basket that was just filled with a variety of things that they all like. It was good and appropriate because I didn't know them too well. This year I have to step it up a notch....
I'm thinking about giving his 3 sisters (one teen 2 young adults) snuggies (those blankets with sleeves). I really think they would like it, and I don't think we're close enough for personal gifts. Any other ideas?
Also...I honestly have no idea what to give his parents. We're also not too too close, but we're working on changing that (I live 4 hours away so its taking some time). Any ideas?
Thanks!

I've got an easy out.
Your fiance should purchase the gifts for his family . . . as supposedly he will know best what they would like. He puts both names . . . his name and your name . . . on the gifts as the givers.
You do the same . . . taking care of the gifts for your side of the family. You add future hubby's name to your gifts.
My advice? In gift-giving circumstances, act like you are already married. Buy one set of gifts for each side of the family. Put both bride's name and groom's name on the gifts as givers.
By buying only one set of gifts (not two), you two can save all that extra money for the wedding.

Gift Exchange Ideas?

Our family continues to grow as well as the list on my christmas list. I am all for ideas where I don't have to buy everyone something. What does your family and friends do?
Answer
We buy a gift for our parents, sometimes the three of us pitch in for one big item, other times just small things. We also buy for all the nieces and nephews because they are all under 5, but that will be come a gift exchange in the future between the cousins. All the adults exchange names and there is a $35 limit.
On my inlaws side, gifts are only purchased for the kids, as Christmas should be for the little kids to enjoy. Christmas has become too much about buying gifts and not really about enjoying time with family and if Christian, Jesus Christ.
