I need to buy my sister and brother in law some gifts. They are rich and have lots of nice things. I’m not rich. What do you think I should buy?

I think this is a very difficult question, and depends on a lot of factors.  I can try to understand the context of this question better by giving you my best guess: your siblings are younger, and may be living with you, at least for now.  You aren’t sure how to identify what things they need in order to be happy or fulfilled, and you’re concerned that you might not know what they might like.

Well, they like to drink, and they have three kids and a dog. But I always get them stuff related to drinking, or food.

It sounds like you’re concerned that maybe you don’t know how to offer them “a gift” of the right quality, in the right way, that they will actually like and appreciate.  And you’re wondering whether you should ask them what they might like, or try to offer them something that sounds appropriate but that might end up being really bad.
