An indoor garden for urban dwellers and herb lovers
Anyone who spends time in the kitchen or garden knows how much fresh herbs can upgrade a dish. While not all climates or spaces can sustain a full herb garden, this little indoor gardening kit can, so they can top every last dish with their favorite fresh herbs.
A statement print for major baseball fans

An Airbnb gift card for in-laws who love to travel
A tangible gift is great, but so is the gift of an unforgettable experience. For the jet-setting duo, bring them one step closer to their next vacation with an Airbnb gift card so they can explore someplace new together.
A smart speaker to help them get started on a smart home
If your in-laws are not really the techie types, start them out with this small smart speaker. The Echo Dot is a subtle introduction to smart technology — plus they’ll get a kick out of communicating with Alexa.
A painting of the only thing they love as much as their children
The only thing they might love as much as your partner is their pet. Show them you, too, appreciate their furry friend with a custom portrait of it.
A personal photo book of their favorite memories
If you’ve shared many memories with your in-laws, commemorate them with a personalized photo book. Sure, it takes a little more time than just picking up a bouquet of flowers, but the extra effort will not go unnoticed with this thoughtful gift.

A cheese and crackers serving board for entertainers
Embrace the shape of the ampersand for a higher purpose — a cheese platter. Turns out this shape is perfect for holding wheels of cheese and bunches of crackers, making it the perfect gift for those who love to entertain, or just appreciate a good cheese plate.
A touch lamp for in-laws who live far away
If your in-laws live far away, they'll really appreciate this touch lamp. Keep one in your home and one in theirs, and whenever you tap it, their lamp will light up too. It's a cute way to communicate and let them know you're thinking of them every now and then.
A nice candle with a reusable vessel
A nice candle is always a welcomed gift. These ones are made to embody the scents of common places, including rooms in the house. The best part of these candles, though, is that they'll be able to reuse the hand-blown glass vessel once the candle has burned down. All they have to do is put it in the freezer when the wax runs down, pop it out with a knife, and run it through the dishwasher. Our editor uses hers for everything from cotton swabs to serving snacks.
A charging hub so they don’t have to fight for the open outlet
If they’re always fighting for the last free outlet to charge their Apple products, or if they're both big Apple fans, this hub will charge all their devices at once.
A modern vase that will look great in their space
Flowers are always a great gift, but if they don’t have the right vase to put them in, what’s the point? Give them a nice, simple bud vase large enough to hold a few flowers that will look good anywhere in their home — and if you want to go that extra mile, you could put some florals in it too.
A decanter and matching glasses with a personal touch
Show them you mean business with this sophisticated decanter and set of four double old fashioned glasses. You can even add a monogram if you’re looking for a more personal touch.
A set of Bloody Mary garnish branches
For the bunch that loves to brunch — these cocktail branches are a great way to spice up their Sunday morning favorite.
A monthly sampling of some of the tastiest products from around the country
Foodies will love the chance to test small-batch, locally made products from around the country. Mouth sources and curates subscription boxes of their favorites, which they'll receive each month.
A set of passport holders for globetrotters
Frequent travelers should have a durable passport cover. This one also has extra pockets for money, ID cards, and credit cards. The matching styles, names, and cute quote are an added bonus. If you don't like the style of this one, there are plenty more to choose from.
A wool throw they’ll want to wrap up in on chilly days
Winter days spent with family call for cozy blankets made for snuggling. This one is just right and easily washable — just in case there are any unexpected eggnog spills.
An undeniably classy marble salt cellar
If you want to make a statement with something small, go for this elegant salt cellar. It makes seasoning dishes easier, and the dual compartments provide a place for both fine and coarsely ground salt. Our editor swears by this one for her own kitchen.
A set of products to help them get some post-holiday-hosting rest

Ice cream cups that never let the good stuff melt
