Finding gifts for your in-laws (or future in-laws) can seem like a daunting task, especially if your S.O. is less than helpful when it comes to figuring out what they would want! 😛 Of course, the longer your know your in-laws, the more in-tune you’ll be to exactly what they’d be so excited to open up during the Holiday Season. However, you can’t go wrong with these gift ideas your in-laws are sure to love (and hey, even if they don’t love them, it’s the thought that counts, right?) 😉
1. Picture Perfect
Your in-laws will always be excited to receive a photo of you and your fiancé/husband to add to their mantle or fridge! If you two got married this year, use this as an opportunity to print off one of your amazing wedding photos from your photographer and put it in a beautiful, classic frame.
2. “Date Night In”
A “date night in” package for your in-laws could come with a movie they’d enjoy, a bottle of wine, and something decadent like chocolate covered fruit. Even if your in-laws have been together for decades and have the whole marriage thing figured out, it never hurts to throw in a little extra romance every now and again. 🙂
3. Feminine Finds
If you’re at a loss about what to get your mother-in-law, it’s a general rule of thumb that anything pretty and feminine will always be appreciated! Lovely baubles and jewelry are a girl’s best friend, of course, as well as accessories like scarves, and beautiful blooms that she can plant in her garden and grow throughout the year!
4. Kitchen Gadgets
Your in-laws might know their way around the kitchen, but they might not know about all the crazy awesome kitchen gadgets that are available nowadays. Introduce them to the world of making vegetable noodles with a “spiralizer”, make chopping garlic easy as pie with a garlic press, or get them out of their comfort zone with a sushi making kit!
5. Father Time
Hopefully your man could give you a bit of help when it comes to figuring out how his dad likes to spend his free time. Maybe he’s into sports, fishing, tech, or all of the above! Creighton basketball or Maverick hockey tickets would be great for the sports fan, accessories like bait and tackle could be awesome for the angler, and a portable phone-charging battery would be amazing for the tech-savvy, traveling businessman.
6. Double Date
Finally, you could treat your in-laws to a double date with you and your fiancé/husband! Have your in-laws choose the place and engorge on some delicious food, conversation, and (hopefully a lot of) laughter! This gift is a fun experience for the four of you, and is the perfect way to sneak in some extra family time around the holidays or anytime they decide they want to use their double date “gift card” with you both!
We hope you find this list useful, as we certainly do and will be following it ourselves in a couple weeks! 😉
