gifts for parents

What are you getting your parents as gifts? My future MIL is the most jealous women in the world.. but ya know what except for the fact she is having a huge rehersal dinner for us and it's only because she's inviting everyone from her family, everyone from out town.... I need to get my mother something more b/c she is busting her butt and hitting their pockets a ton..
any input?? any ideas?

Why not get your Mom a pair of earrings to wear for the wedding? Your FMIL does not need to know about them. It is something for you and your Mom. Or you can get her a ring with your birthstone and her birthstone in it. Or you can also get her a Tiffany picture frame for your wedding photo.

I am getting my mom. stepmom and MIL mother handchiefs. They have a pretty poem on them. Since we are paying for 99.9% of the wedding ourselves I do not feel like we need to spend a ton more on gifts too. But I want to get them each something special to keep.

My parents are doing more for the wedding and ...

My FH and I want to buy my mom the necklace she is wearing to the wedding and my dad a watch (we'll probably engrave it). We are also getting them their parent album (and his parents - both sets) but we are getting my parents a 16X24 size potrait of the family as well.
I plan to write my parents a wonderful card and poem and toast them at the rehearsal dinner!
I know what you mean about jealous in-laws!
