A kick in the pants?

I picked up a couple little things for my Monster-In-Law. She's big into the "Red Hats" (or whatever the heck they are)... our gift shop at the Hospital had tons of stuff at 75% off - in pristeen condition, so I got a few little things for her.

For FIL I think I'm going to go to the Machine Shed Gift shop and get something tractor related there for him. He usually likes their historical books.

Kimmer does she belong to the Red Hats Society? Very big with older ladies right now.

My SMIL will be getting some hand painted christmas glasses. 12 of them with one of santa's reindeer on each of them.

FIL who knows probably a die cast car

MIL something about angels because she is one at times.

I wanted to get the ILs a printer, but MIL informed me last night she told FIL she wants an all-in-one-printer, so I'll just have to wait and see now

I have no idea. Since it will have to be mailed this year, it has to be somethign light! I was thinking of amousepad with Jonathan's picture on it for MIL since she's working at home all the time now. And a tie with Jonathan's picture on it for FIL.

Yep Jan... it's the Red Hat Society. And she's driving everyone with it. She even has a Red Hat Society Onesie for Lauren.

Kim Avon is selling a Red hat ornament for Christmas, I ordered one for my Mom.

I think we are get my MIL and FIL the fold chairs for outside. So when they come to watch Alisha in parades and things like that they do not have to stand, that is hard on FIL so I think that will be a good gift. Not sure if we are doing Brother's or Sister In laws at all this year.

I made her a redbird jacket that matches Kate's and Steve got her a West Virginia Speciality Edition Monoploy game. I have another couple of things I may give to her as well. I'm trying to decide between giving them to her or my SS. They are things that I have made as well.

Well, last year the inlaws gave me a list of things they could use so I will probably use the list again this year.
For Example:

MIL: a big night shirt, socks, towels, wash cloths

FIL: PJ's, plain ball cap, socks, cologne

Some of the stuff we have gave MIL in the past...I found it in the upstairs closet which means she is getting rid of it. So I am going to get them what they need.

They aren't getting much. Maybe I'll make them some picture crafts... candles... or something like that.
Every year I get something for them... and every year they say to me "oh, I'm sorry Shari. I didn't know we were exhanging gifts."
Now - understand - they've said this for the past 10 years!!!!
Idiots.

Do you know what you are getting

I'm making calenders with themes for each month and pictures to go with it. Ex: for one month we are doing pics of the grandkids fishing, for one month we have pics of grandkids with umbrellas, etc. Each month I am going to decorate with scrapbooking supplies. I'm doing it for both sides so I'll have different pics for each side. My sisters and my SIL are helping so I don't go
