Poll question: Reasonable expectations on gifts to/from in-laws?
What do you think is reasonable in terms of receiving/giving gifts to/from parents of your spouse, in terms of what you'd give/get from your own parents?
If you don't know your spouse should. It's a delicate situation. Too much looks like you're trying to impress them or some other statement. Too little and their feelings may be hurt.
My in-laws have a tradition that the adults don't give gifts to each other but the parents write checks to their adult kids. In my family, all adults receive modest, thoughtful gifts related to the person's interests or needs. We go along with each family's tradition.
