Desperately needing all of yours ideas!!!!

Christmas present suggestion for in-laws

Retired couple, have caravan and travel regularly, but virtually seem to have everything they need for travelling.  They are not materialistic at all, so jewellery, pampering womens stuff (like perfume), home decor etc.....wouldnt be approriate

They prefer practical gifts...last year, gave them a fab mailbox, year be4, digital photo frame, bunnings gift voucher.

EVERY IDEA I think of, hubby says "nope", either they have it already or wouldnt use it. 

Please help me out, ideas anyone???

Do they like going to the movies? Book of movies tickets to one of the chains.....they can go as they travel.....experiences rather than stufff.....

Surely I'm not the only one that does ALL the gift buying? We both hate shopping so I do it!
My trade off is I HATE WRAPPING so I make him wrap everything, at least then he knows what WE bought everyone. 😆

I have always done the greater percentage of gift buying and almost all of the wrapping

Me too.  the ex buys the booze for his brothers but I have always bought for the kids and the girls.  Men are just not good at most some stuff.

Is there a travel/caravan guide from RACV? (Or the state you are in).

blimey joono, and you got kudos'd too, what for? people will believe anything written on here won't they, lol

my post isn't a personal one

i gave up the giving and recieving pressies a good 25 years ago

and i still think exchanging gifts on xmas, birthdays or whatever is a stupid concept & is kids stuff, all designed to part with your money

i saw the light

No, I remember your Christmas from last year when you got the huffs with your family. You said that they didn't want to see you and you felt likewise but it was mostly in your mind.

Presents can be as simple as a jar of home made jam or a plant that you have grown from a cutting.  I've learnt that a lot more as I have got older.

At some time in your life you have to love the people in it.

I think the "old chook" has flown the coop!
