ZF, you've got no idea! Last year was their year to spend with her family, so they left their gifts for us all at the IL's and me, SIL and MIL all got terrible gifts. SIL and I got a Polo Ralph Loren shirt - both were two sizes too small, mine was PASTEL and her's was green and looked like a mans shirt. MIL got this tacky oversized white patent leather bag with big silver buckles all over it and it was so not MIL's style. So we all laughed our heads off at the gifts and put them aside, but this year they are having Christmas with us, so if we got another bad gift from her we'd have to pretend how happy we are So I would rather just avoid the whole situation.
