Anyone have any gift ideas for my sister-in-law? Sheās in her early to mid 30ās.
Iāve always been a loss on what to get her mostly since I feel like she really doesnāt have any hobbies even before she had kiddos. For the past few Christmases, I would go find all the influencers she follows and see what everyone is shilling. I just donāt feel like putting all that effort again and following a bunch of influencers that I donāt give a flip about.
-cute/trendy item that holds things (fanny pack, insulated cup, tote bag, zippered pouch).
-stuffed with small items that are slightly nicer than she might buy herself (socks, mini candle, lip balms/scrubs and hand lotions, hair clips or scrunchies, face/eye sheet masks, tea, hot chocolate, liquidIV packets, candies, stickers, etc).
-$10 giftcard to her regional coffee chain of choice.

This is a cute idea! I gifted her a Stanley last year and she has a belt bag, so I gotta figure out something else to stuff lol
Small zipper pouches are always a good option! You can find some cute ones and theyāre always useful as purse organizers, pencil cases, travel cosmetics bags, for chargers or dongles at work, etc. I can never have too many of them! Haha.
I typically give experiences to my kids for their large gifts. This year 14M got a season ski pass (a couple of weeks early) and 12F is getting box tickets to see the musical Six when it comes to town.
A recommendation for anyone struggling with gifts for adult relatives/in-laws: couple of years ago we gave up trying to figure out what my in-laws would like and started getting them gift cards to really nice restaurants in their city. They have always raved about the meals they had and itās been nice to give them something we know theyāll enjoy
Iām gifting salt&stone hand crĆØme and gift cards to mostly everyone. The kids this year wanted remote control cars, and some random real pet things. We also got them some gambling toys because we ban them the rest of the year. They will be disappointed by the contents but very excited to open them. We did the mini brands and the little magic mixie ones.
We have to shop for our parents ($100 each), my SIL&BIL ($50 each) and then 3 gifts for my familyās secret Santa ($35 limit).
Our budget for immediate family is $500 per person. My husband and I used our Christmas money to have a dresser made so we could pass ours to our daughter.
I bought my daughter a $20 lego set and some stocking stuffers (hair ties, bath tabs, socks) from Santa and then we bought her a couple books, winter boots and a little tool box for when she helps my husband with projects. My husband is also refurbishing an old steamer trunk for her dress-up clothes.
We also spend about $200 on gift cards for my daughterās daycare teachers and I made cinnamon ornaments with my daughter for grandparents and such.
I donāt plan any of the gifts for my in-laws, just my family. Itās a split that works well for my husband and I.
For my mom - I always try to buy a few nice things for my mom to spoil her, as she is an incredible gifter (and my dad is, unfortunately, not). I have a Dyson hairdryer, and my mom loves using it! I bought her the Dyson Airwrap with attachments. This is what her hairdresser uses on her.
For my dad - Every year I get my dad the same thing: a membership to the MIM. I also got him a little gift pack of locally made fermented hot sauce, some local coffee, and a cute gold clip/scoop for the coffee.
For my brother - My brother is planning on moving out on his own soon, so I bought him a Runescape themed cookbook. I got him the same pack of fermented hot sauce, some Japanese candies, and a Cup of Noodles model kit (mostly as a joke gift).
For my cousin and his girlfriend - I bought a gift card to a nice restaurant.
For my grandmother - a Michael Kors bag, because sheās obsessed with my moms, and a sherpa jacket that I got from Macyās during their Cyber Monday sale.
For my little cousins - candy storybook thing that my aunt used to get me when I was little, and $5 each.
Secret Santa - We signed up to give gifts for a gentlemen that lives in an adult care facility. He just wanted pajamas and cozy socks, so we bought him a set of nice flannel pajamas, thick wool socks, a bag of reeseās trees, a body care set, a gift card to Burger King (his favorite) and some nice warm clothes.
