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???

LOL thats funny Joanie 🙂 Maybe not all that practical but I larfed...
What about a hamper with a christmas cake and some chockies and lollies and some nice tea and coffee etc.
I reckon when people seem to have everything stuff to eat and drink is practical 🙂

Hang on a mo' . . they are Your inlaws and therefore your Husband's parents.
So why is "hubby" sitting back and saying "nope" to Your gift suggestions for His parents?
Tell him to choose something and refuse to take on so much responsibility for somebody else's obligations.
what iapetus said, plus
only make them bisquits if you are a good cook (cos it's all about the taste not the thought), and I assume you aren't into baking otherwise you would have thought of that (or they don't like sweet things).
but really, tell your behaving-like-a-bleephead husband to think of something or they won't get anything.

Why not start a 'mum's birthday celebration' trophy.
It gets engraved and sent between your mother in law and you each and every year. xo
Include a box of chocolates from hubby.

What about a pictorial book of Australia that will help them to choose places that they would like to visit?

Give yourself a gift at the same time as the in-laws.
Tie a nice red ribbon around hubby's neck and present him as a travelling companion for their next trip.
Then perhaps, he would know what would be most appropriate for the following year's gift.
