 |
|
| My future in-laws have invited me on vacation with the family during the first week of December to Orlando, FL. This will be my first trip to Florida and I'm anxious to go. However, I want to get my in-law something as a thank you gift for inviting me and for also paying for my flight AND letting me stay at their condo. I'm not sure what I could get them as they are very wealthy people and whatever they want, they buy themselves. I'm very intimidated by them and want to make sure I leave a good impression. I know I can't buy wine or alcohol as they don't drink, and I can't buy flowers as they are allergic to a lot, too. So does anyone have suggestions? Also should I give the thank-you gift before or after the trip? |

| Give the gift after the holiday with a small thank you card attached.I would suggest as a gift, a weather station, it's usually mounted in timber, about 2 feet long and it is designed to hang on the wall. It's a device which gives the temperature, humidity and barometric readings and looks really in place in any house. I would think that you could pick one up for about $50. Have a nice holiday! |

| I have always found that a good gift for people who already have everything is food. Maybe pack a little gift basket with lovely teas, chocolates, biscuits, caviar, pates, etc. I would give it at the start of the trip and write a nice thank you note when you come home. |

| How about a framed picture of you and your fiance? Or a small album of pictures of everyone on the trip. Photographs are something that they can't buy themselves! |

| Here are some suggestions:-Let them know that you'd like to treat them to dinner out one night of the trip.-Get a nice picture frame or album and fill it with pics from the trip when you get back.-Get them a gift certificate to a nice restaurant in their hometown.-Send them one of those cookie- or fruit- bouquets-Send them a food gift: box or chocolates, fruit basket, muffin basket, Omaha steaks etc.Don't forget to write them a thank you note when you get back from the trip. Have fun! |
