I’m only a couple years into shopping for my in laws. But I’ve learned there’s not much direction or guidance in that land. And E’s parents certainly put my creative shopping gift to the test. Oh no, they’re not picky or anything. It’s the exact opposite: they are some of the most contented people you’ll ever meet. Regardless, I love the act of giving presents and bringing a bit of well-wrapped joy. So I’ve compiled this in law gift guide of the best things to buy them this holiday season.
