Q. My MIL has everything she needs, and I wanted to get her a digital camera for christmas but her daughter said she wouldn't use it. I want to get her something that is nice and that hopefully she will like, My budget is around $100 for her. If you guys have any ideas please share them with me.
Answer
brandy, first of all please don't do gift certificates, or gift cards. to my way of thinking they just scream out "i couldn't be bothered trying -so here go buy something". of course thats just my thought. but here is what my d.i.l.'s have come up with.
my first daughter in law was apparently in the same boat, so she decided to buy me a charm bracelet, not those new-fangled things that are flat, but a proper charm bracelet, and then for special occasions she finds new charms to give me. in fact when they wanted to announce they were expecting their first child, they bought me a baby bootie charm for my bracelet!
my second daughter-in-law started me on ornaments. these are 'willow' ornaments, and every christmas i receive a new piece.
my third daughter-in-law was at a total loss until one day she overheard me saying i had never had a pedicure or manicure. now, every christmas and birthday i get sent off for both!
so think along the lines of my beautiful d.i.l.'s......and find something you can add to as time goes on.
good luck!

Gift ideas for in-laws?
With Christmas coming up I am planning out my shopping lists as I do every year. This year however I am having an extremely hard time with gift ideas for my Boyfriends family. We have been dating for over 5 years, and every year its the same thing.... They total dislike everything we get for them and every year I am sure that they return it all. The things they can't return they re-gift or throw in a closet!
This year I do not want to waste my time energy and money on such ungrateful people. But I have to have something for them. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Here's a mother's wedding gift article. There are ideas in there that would be great. http://www.weddingclipart.com/guide/wedding-gifts/mother-of-the-bride-wedding-gift.html
As far as the ingratitude...I know, I know. I have a family member like this. Can NOT be pleased. You know what? I give something each year anyway. They're always perfectly nice gifts and somewhere along the line, somebody in the family will probably use them. You have a big heart. You want to give. That's all that matters...IMO.
