    Wow, I can't believe it's time to start collecting gifts for my party!

    For my future mother-in-law, I was thinking about getting this but it might be cheesy for a woman who kind of artsy and silly (loves Star Trek, Egypt and the color blue)

    I thought she could carry it at the wedding but I would get her something else too. 

    And I have NO IDEA what to get my future father-in-law.  He just a big teddy bear that is into outdoor stuff, tea and history. 

    ANY and ALL thoughts are welcomed!!

    We got both FFIL and FMIL the Willow Tree "Father and son" and "mother and son" figurines.

    We just got our FMIL/FFIL a nice frame that we will put one of our wedding pictures in from Waterford Crystal.

    I found a beautiful frame for 50% off!

    We're probably going to get FMIL a sterling silver frame and put a photo in it of us at the wedding and then get the frame engraved. So more like an after wedding gift.

    ETA: What about some sort of leatherman or survival tool for your FFIL?

    @LindseyMarie52- these are from Etsy... the seller is ccbgknikolich !  They are like $14!

    @everyone - I was thinking about getting a frame but I didn't know if giving them an empty frame was okay.   Do you put in an engagement photo or an IOU certificate?

    Ooh, a survival tool might be good for FFIL!  And then hanky for FMIL and the frame for both of them.  Decisions, decisions...
