Christmas

Sister in law and her partner - presents?

They are late 30s/early 40s, three kids, they will be flying here for christmas so needs to be something they can take back easily.

I'm looking to spend under about £20 for a joint pres, think it would look showy to spend more as I don't expect an expensive gift from them but they will probably give us something. I spend more on the kids.

I'm totally out of inspiration, can anyone help please?

Not joint presents, but:

t-shirt
printed tea towel (I found some great ones locally with a graphic design of local street names)
luxury tights
canvas bag or printed shopper type bag
high spec corkscrew & wine foil cutter

Somethng they could use while they are here? A day out somewhere, tickets to a local attraction?

Scarf?
Key ring?

Tea, lightly package biscuits, chocolate, sweets? Depending on where they live, chocolate could be a good one - my friend in the US is always begging me to send chocolate :)

Alternatively could you offer to post it to them as part of the present?

How about a framed picture of somewhere local/in the UK that they miss or have an attachment to? TKMaxx do some lovely frames.

Thanks. Yes SIL is English but I'm not sure what stuff she would miss, am also worried it would have to be very mini not to impact on the luggage - I tend to get a bit carried away with hampers. I will have a think about a small bag of special "English" treats.

Thanks again.

Are they from the UK & live abroad now? How about a mini hamper with some of the stuff they love from the UK but maybe can't get easily where they live?
