HELP - holiday gift ideas for the in-laws

they're super-boring people .... they don't do anything, they're technologically stupid, they don't care about anything other than their family.

we already got them a ton of frames and whatnot.

we're going on a family trip (cruise to the caribbean) right around the holidays ... any idea of travel stuff we could buy them?

we're aiming at around $50 total for both of DH's parents (possibly less)

any ideas?

TIA

Onboard credit for the cruise! Easy-peasy!

i might do that ... but i do feel like it's a bit of a cop-out since we originally wanted to go on said excursion with them.

it's def on my list of last resorts

what about a camera for the trip?

CVS sells these really cool disposable VIDEO cameras! I think they are like $13 and then $13 for processing, and you get a 20minute DVD

its pretty cool!

Is your trip before or after the holidays? If its before you can make a photobook of your trip. We're doing a wedding one for both of our parents for their christmas gifts...maybe you can do that? We're using ritzpix but I think shutterfly and kodak have them too.

Maybe you can send a nice bottle to their room on the cruise. That would be a nice idea,

OR if there is a resturant on the cruise that you have to pay for (like one of those really nice ones instead of the dining area) you can put money towards that.

Good Luck! I'm stuck on my boring in-laws too!
