What do I get MIL for Christmas?

Food magazine or book and donation to a good cause.

Contigo travel mug?

I bought my MIL one of those because (a) it doesn't spill and (b) it keeps stuff hot for an insanely long time, which I thought she'd appreciate while running around. It was inexpensive during a Lightning Deal or something, but I'd certainly have paid full price if I had to.

Of course, this reminds me that I need a new lid for mine (dropped it & it cracked; I am devastated!)

Do you live close? A gift of time is what my MIL wants. We try to make 'dates' ... like getting tickets to a play for the kids to take her too or my husband blocking out certain days to take her to lunch or do things around her house.

Have you asked her if there's something she would like or need?

How about pajamas? Boring and unoriginal, but she might at least enjoy and wear. I wouldn't get her anything for the house, it sounds like she's set in what she likes/doesn't like. I'd stay away from the food since she eats out so much.

Since she is a foodie, have you looked at a good subscription through goldbely? https://www.goldbely.com/?gclid=EAIa...SAAEgIsxfD_BwE

We gifted DH's BIL a burger sampler package from Lafrieda (http://www.lafrieda.com/) for his birthday last month! He and SIL thought it was pretty awesome!

We’ve received and enjoyed this basket from Costco before:

Also look at Zabars.

My mother enjoys the digital frame we go her a couple years ago... one of the NixPlay ones that we can all email pictures to then the automatically appear on her frame.

It's so fun isn't it! I honestly wish we'd just stop exchanging gifts. It such a waste because I know she throws them away or they sit in her attic. We sent her a photo blanket last year and she won't put it out because it doesn't match the decor of her house (and I intentionally picked one that had the exact same colors as her living room).



We can't do photos because I don't know the proper size of her frames. She has a certain frame for each kid and each family and she will only put that specific size on display. I tried this once and got it all wrong, even though I just went from the sizes that she already had displayed. She doesn't put a tree up either. But the BBQ is a good thought! She does love the best food. When she goes on vacation, the only thing she talks about it all of the restaurants she ate at!



She only wants pictures of the kids if she's in them!

Some great ideas though for food options. I will be looking into them and hopefully we can find something! The reuben kit is a great idea, as I know she loves rueben. I didn't really want to spend that much on her, but I may do it.

Someone that particular--just send a cheese basket from Harry & David and cross her off your list.

Omaha Steaks?

If you know which restaurants she enjoys, then give gift cards and be done with it. I know it seems generic to you, but it also sounds like the thing she is most likely enjoy. Perhaps a gift card that would also allow her to treat a friend? Maybe that would be appreciated.
