"I never know ... How much to spend on my in-laws&amp;amp;#8217; holiday gifts! I always ask my parents what they want and get them exactly what they ask for. It doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t make for the most surprising Christmas morning, but at least I know they&amp;amp;#8217;re happy! My in-laws, however, refuse to make requests. Which is fine ... but I never know what to get them, or what to spend! And last year, they TOTALLY threw me for a loop when my mother-in-law announced&amp;amp;#8212;when we arrived to celebrate Hanukkah, with gifts in hand!&amp;amp;#8212;that they weren&amp;amp;#8217;t exchanging gifts that year! I certainly don&amp;amp;#8217;t need a gift from my in-laws, but if I had known they were skipping gifts, I, um, wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have brought any! We wound up giving them the gifts we brought, which they opened while mumbling about the economy and how they didn&amp;amp;#8217;t need anything. Awkward! So what do I do this year? Assume we&amp;amp;#8217;re skipping gifts this year? Continue buying them nice gifts? Bring a bottle of wine? If I bring a gift, how much should I spend?
