Thanks for all the ideas. I am still leaning toward the magazines. A- It is easy. B- I think this will be the last year we exchanges and they can have a gift every month from someone they really don't like. :p Not very Christ like I know...... I normally try to spend around $10-$15. If I shop all year, that is easier to get a nice gift for little $$$. I need to contact the cheap magazine websites and see if I can buy now but not deliever until Jan.
I don't know what is going on but..... yesterday the inlaws stopped by, came into the house

and talked to us....all of us.....MIL even talked to her grandchildren. Dh and I have noticed that MIL is trying.......it is forced trying

but trying...... This is strange, dh and I have decided to move as soon as my dad dies and I have his estate settled. And when God gives us a new job and housing! Dh is finally ready to cut some of the ole apron strings. Then MIL starts being nice???? We haven't said a word to them about our plans. I know we are never to say it is too late but......... my feelings are ....it is too late to try to be nice now...... after twenty years of marriage????
