A Guide to Buying Gifts for the In-Laws (Without Losing Your Mind)

Step 1: Determine the In-laws' Gift Budget

1. Calculate the amount of money you're willing to sacrifice for the gift
2. Estimate the amount of time you're willing to spend researching and finding the perfect gift
3. Set aside an additional 20% for 'emergency' expenses (i.e., wine, chocolates, etc.)

Gift Ideas

• Over-the-Counter Gift Ideas (Because Who Needs Personalized, Handmade Stuff?)
• Gift Experiences: Because They're Easier to Regift (Said No One Ever)
• Subscription Boxes: The Gift That Keeps on Giving (Until You Cancel It in 3 Months)

Remember, the key to buying gifts for the in-laws is to find the perfect balance between 'I care' and 'I just wanted to get you something to shut you up.'

Or, you know, just buy them a nice bottle of wine and a 'World's Okayest Daughter-in-Law' mug. That usually does the trick.
