Christmas Gifts for In-Laws (You Don't Like)
What To Buy ... What To Buy?
There's nothing like In-Laws! Brothers and Sisters-In-Laws love to protect their siblings from the mean spouse they married, while you're never good enough for the Mother and Father-In-Law. And the holidays always seems to bring out the best in all of them ... towards you. (Yes, Virginia, I'm being facetious!)
Some may be very good at hiding their feelings towards you. Just remember, you're an intruder into their family circle, and no matter how welcome they make you feel, they're going to talk badly about you once the holidays are over.
So, use these suggestions, wrap them in your best Christmas wrapping paper, and watch the results!
Besides, if they're gonna talk, why not give them something to talk about?

Here's Some Ideas To Make Them Love You!
1) Massage Parlor Certificates for all male in-laws. Find the most seedy type of massage parlor around and purchase gift certificates for only the male members of the family. Once you give them out, set up a "family evening" to provide them all with transportation to "Shanequa's Therapeutic Massage and Gentlemen’s Club.” Once they’re inside, call the local police department and talk to them about the “sins” occurring inside. Be sure to take pictures as your relatives are led out wearing only loin cloths and handcuffs. They will be great conversation pieces for future family reunions, as well as something to discuss when figuring out what to wear for next Halloween’s family party!
2) Vacuum cleaners for the mother and sister-in-laws. On the card, print, “Just wanted to get you something you could use year around. I saw you needed one the last time we visited!” Don’t buy the most expensive models by any means. That way, the next time you visit their homes, you can always ask, “Oh no, did the vacuum cleaner I bought you tear up already?” It’s a gift you can enjoy every time you visit!
3) Weapons that shoot for all male members of the family that suffer from road rage “itus” and anger management problems. Demonstrate how to clean and use them, as well as the ease in loading. The guys will love these, but the females of the household will hate them. You’ll create many “in house” arguments that will occupy the time they’d normally be talking about you, and may even help in ending an argument or two! Forever!
4) Glade Mist Machines for all the female in-laws. Same principal as the vacuum cleaners. Tell them how you had a hard time figuring what to buy them for Christmas, until you saw the mist machine and remembered how their house smelled last time you were there. Then, ask them if they ever got rid of the dog (you know they never had). Watch their faces and enjoy the fun!
5) All-You-Can-Eat Buffet gift certificates for all on diets. Tell them how the salad bar is fantastic, but the juicy, golden fried chicken (that is perfectly seasoned and crunchy on the outside yet pure Heaven on the inside) and fresh baked, apple pie simply melts in your mouth, especially when you take it to the freeze machine and cover it in fresh vanilla ice cream! Watch the drool start to flow and lay it on even heavier for more laughs!
6) Cooking School Certificates for the female in-laws. This is another way to attest to the culinary skills of the households in question. This is also a good time to tell them that, again, you didn’t know what to buy them so you asked their husbands what would be the most needed thing in the house that needed improvement. Then say, “Oops, I told y’all I wasn’t going to tell them that” and watch the fun begin!

7) Rabbits for all in-laws with kids. There’s nothing more painful to keep than a rabbit. First, none will have a place for it, or want it, but the kids will be so excited to have one (especially after you tell them that Peter Cottontail wants to see it Easter before leaving any Easter baskets) that the parents will be stuck with it. Talk to the breeder ahead of time, and only purchase female rabbits that were kept in the same pen with a male or two. In a short time, the fun will really start taking place!
8) Mature Theatrical Releases. For the family members that feel they’re too old for such nonsense, provide them with a reason to visit the doctor and enjoy the embarrassment of going to the pharmacy after those little pills that bring about big evenings of nostalgia. Be sure to purchase those that display as many tattoos as possible. In the months to follow, “Have you gotten any tattoos, yet?” can always be a great conversation ender when they start to get on your case about something ridiculous.
9) Sexy Underwear (that’s way too small). Make a quick trip to the web and purchase something that an eighteen year old would have a hard time fitting into for both male and female in-laws. Then, watch the faces as presents are opened and tell them how well it will go with the videos you purchased them! If you really want to have fun, tell them to go into the bedroom and try it on. You can get even a bigger kick if you bug the bedroom in advance and sell chances on the time it takes for the thong to snap!
10) Booze, Booze, and more Booze! The best way to shut up your in-laws from talking about you is to get them drunk. Not just a little, a lot! Spike the punch, spike the tea, spike the coffee, spike the green beans if you have to. Just get them drunk.
Be sure not to drink any of it yourself, as you’ll be needed taking pictures of the fools trying on the lingerie, shooting the weapons out of the windows at passing trucks, and of your mother-in-law vacuuming, as she staggers around the house with a wine glass in her hand. Slobbering drunks that have passed out also gives you reason to leave early, so you can get back home and really enjoy what Christmas is all about.
A Day Off From Work!!!
Some Final Thoughts
If you follow the above advice, you will be sure to enjoy the gifts you provided for a long time. If you decide on trying to purchase something “useful” and “meaningful” you’ll fail miserably, as always. Then, you’ve only yourself to blame for the ridicule you receive the rest of the year.
Why wait?

By the way, in-laws, I'll take one of these!

You never let down a friend, do you? : ) I really appreciate you helping me out. Hub ideas? Actually, most of my hubs come from real experiences that I stretch to the extremes. A newscast on meteor showers started one, this one when my wife asked what we should buy my daughters in-laws, and my one on hospital treatment from my stay there. A friend of mine once asked how we wrote jokes when I did stand-up. I told him, "Just start talking about something and don't stop ... something's bound to be funny." To show him I looked up on a hill we were driving by and spied a church and a graveyard. "Now, Bill, if a restaurant had a graveyard next to it, would you eat there? Of course not! So why do churches have graveyard's next to them? It's not good advertising! Come on in, worship, and end up staying next door ... forever!" He got the point. lol
Thanks again for all your support, Daisy! You're fantastic!

In honesty, I did! Not one of my more sane moments, but still, a moment to remember. I said it to my wife, but it was overheard and quickly passed throughout the room. I can only imagine what was being told as it made it's way throughout the crowd and into the ears of the last recipient. I was from the "big city", anyway, which only validated their opinion of "city folks." As with many who have performed stand-up, my tongue is sometimes faster than the brain synopsis to the common sense area. lol
May you and yours have a fantastic Merry Christmas, filled with smiles and love! Many thanks!
OMG, you so did not. ROLF. Oh, you are wicked.
Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas.

I don't think there's any problem, as my surviving in-laws have never bought me the first gift. My oldest daughter's in-laws are the few that I've met in Ky, but I took care of them at my daughter's wedding reception. I looked at all the people on his side of the family, thought about how much it would cost me each year in gifts, and proclaimed, "Damn, I know how to get a family reunion together with this bunch. I'm just going to pull a semi up in the middle of Main Street and holler Free Cheese!" Most haven't talked to me since. : ) The moment, interesting. The money I've saved, priceless! lol
Thanks for commenting and the kind words! Merry Christmas!

I do try to ensure all will have something coming, especially if they deserve it. I just hate for anyone to be left out! : ) There is a dual meaning with the rabbits. It could be as stated, or perhaps, could someone be questioning the need for a pregnancy test? Oops! Sorry, again, just trying to cover all the bases!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great holiday!
Haha. You are too funny. Poor in-laws will have it coming. Enjoyed your humor and the laughs and I DO hope you won't be receiving any of these from your in-laws, because we know what that means. HAHA.
There is something for everyone in this hub. Someone tried to give me a rabbit once. Hmmm.... what was she trying to say? Hehe. Fun hub and voted up!

I recognize I went a little overboard on some of them, but I was trying to take care of everyone. lol Some may have a little worse in-laws than others, so the severity may need to be a little harsher. I'm really glad this put a smile on your face. It has served its purpose in doing so!
Greatly appreciate the comments! Many Thanks!
Funny! Funny! Funny!
I am sharing this one right away , as soon as I wipe the tears from my eyes from laughing so much.
In-Laws! Everyone has them and some of them just need to be re-paid for how they act toards you.
Some of your ideas are a little radical (and expensive), but they are all FUNNY!

That's one way of not having to purchase them gifts. Tis a shame as I'm sure you could've found several of these to fit the need. lol

Hi RC... still laughing... glad I am not on your shopping list. Yet another that is a favorite for those with children are the noisiest and most annoying toys you can find. Of course include some extra long lasting batteries for the added satisfaction you wil be remembered... lol... Voted up and all across... this is a keeper.

Yours sounds like my wife's mother. A couple of years, she bought me a pair of discount brand socks. Then, she finally just said, "I didn't know what to buy you so I spent the money on your girls." Oh well, at least they got the extra .99 spent on them. : )
Thanks for visiting! Much appreciated! Btw, I wish you the safest of moves out West!
You must be friends with my current monster-in-law. She *always* knows just the perfect things to give me every year...well, the years that she remembers that I'm married to her son anyway.
The picnic tablecloth clips have to be the number one present she ever gave me. She really shouldn't have spent so much money! (The clearance tag for 50 cents was still attached).
Great hub. Voted up and shared.

There are some things that are visually unkind. I always feared seeing my grandmother in spandex, my mother-in-law in a bikini, or my father-in-law in a speedo. (oooofff! I shudder!) lol You may want to check the search history on your computer. If you find local massage parlors, be wary! : )
Thanks so much for your kind words! Greatly appreciated!
I always know where to go for a good laugh!! Fortunately I get along well with my mother in law but my husband can't say the same about his. I guess I will just have to pass these tips along to him although I'll have to avoid the sexy underwear visual. Voted up!

Now you're getting to some of my recent hubs. See the changes! : )
The reasoning behind #3 is that by demonstrating proper usage and handling, you'll be appreciated. If you're appreciated, you're safe, for the most part. Later, when the arguments start in their own homes, one half of the party may be immediately eliminated, and the other eliminated when residency changes to the metal bar hotel. See, two birds with one stone, or shot, as the case may be! lol Of course, there's always the element of danger involved, but, wouldn't it be worth it? : )
Happy you enjoyed this one! Greatly Appreciated!
These were all great ideas, but are you out of your mind on #3? Giving guns to overprotective brothers and fathers after all of the other shenanigans you just pulled? That's likely to get you hurt! Very funny, thanks for the laugh!

How funny. Love these. Laughing is such a great way to put things in perspective. Taking life too seriously can be bad for your health. I am sharing this on fB ...
And by the way, I love the I want a hippo song...I look forward to hearing it each year. When I need a good laugh, I will be back.

Perhaps she's at a complete loss as to what to buy you and she lives close to a soap store. Maybe she's always loved horses and this is as close as she can get to sharing her passion (okay, I know they stopped using horses in making soap years ago, but maybe she doesn't, lol), and perhaps, she really wants soap as a gift and is hoping you'll simply give it back to her when birthday time comes around! Perhaps, her mother always washed her mouth out with soap when she was younger for using profanity and she's hinting that she doesn't like the way you talk. : )
Try reverse psychology on her. "Oh my gosh, you got me soap! I never would've guessed I'd get soap ten years in a row from you! I love the way you always give me the gift that reminds me cleanliness is next to holiness. Really though, you don't have to worship me. Though, there are times I feel like asking you if you'd like to join me in the shower! I like scalding hot water. How about yourself? And it's pink this year! How surprising! I guess you went through all the primary colors in years past and are now going for blends. How exciting! I can't wait till next year. I'm going to paint the bathroom mauve this summer. Just a hint on the color to keep your eyes open for when you're shopping next Christmas!" Maybe, she'll take the hint. lol
Thanks for the return visit! Much appreciated!
I thought this was so funny I had to read it twice! I have a relative who always brings me soap. I've even asked her if she is trying to tell me something and she just smiles...and in case you were wondering....I have soap everywhere in my house and I and my house are very clean. Maybe she is regifting from her in-laws!

And you know, I may have to let you know what happens when I give away a few of these gifts! ;) Well written! Voted up on all accounts and shared!
I talked someone into spiking the punch one Christmas for a mother-in-law who didn't allow her husband to have even a beer in the yard on a hot mowing day. She really liked that punch too, that she made, and couldn't figure out why it was so much better this year. Of course fear of being found out kept it from being the fantastic day it should have been for me, lol. (I wasn't always an angel.)
You have some funny stuff. I enjoyed it. ^

OMG...
Richard - me thinks if you followed through on these well-thought-out gifts - you'd have NO in-laws left to buy for next year..
Hmmmm...perhaps that's the plan? lol..
As far as the 'eye-candy' for us women? I'm sorry, but THAT looks to be around 12 years old - got anything in REAL MAN-size?

Hilarious! I love these ideas. My in-laws are, how shall I say it? Stodgy? I think the adult videos would be just the ticket. What makes it even more fun? My husband's family only buys personalized gifts for the kids. The gifts for grown-ups are pooled we have to play "Dirty Santa" to get them. What could be more fitting than someone winning a gift box of dirty movies and sexy underwear while playing 'Dirty Santa?'.

Ha, ha... Hahaha... Haha.... You're bad! Oh, you are BAD!! Loved it though.... Hehe! Excellent gift ideas, and great pictures, specially the one at the end ;)
Love the massage palor one.... I have all brother in-laws, ahahahaha.... No, I won't do that to them! And then again ^_^
Great work, Richy, voting up and awesome!
I can't stop wiping the tears that keep flowing with each laugh. OK got my breath back. lol I am sure glad my hubby and I have only one in-law in the family. That would be his son's wife. I will have him read this for ideas cause she certainly is not well liked by anyone especially his daughter who does not care at all for here sister-in-law. Hilarious pics and loved the videos. I saved Judy Garland for the last because that song always makes me cry. lol So passing on your wonderful ideas and on and on. Loved this and much enjoyed.
Great stuff. I have given out some wild gifts, but never to my in-laws, because they were great. The gift that kept on giving was a Barbie Workout video disguised as a porno video. It was given as a gift 3 times that I know of.
Awesome ideas here and made me laugh you have said it all
A very funny read! I enjoyed your hub from the start till the end! Keep your trademark humour going. Way to go!
Thanks for SHARING. Funny & Interesting. Voted up

Nice of you to visit!
Usually, they give me gift certificates to Best Buy, knowing that I'm a music and computer addict. lol It used to be gift cards to Target, but since I'm not a real fan of the store, I tended to send them back as birthday gifts! : ) Good to see you smile!
Thanks for the comments! Greatly Appreciated!
Ha, ha, ha. You must be very popular in your family! They will probably give you a ticket to the North Pole, valid over Christmas & the new year. By the way, what did you get last year?

My wife has had to live with my humor for 33 years. She's grown accustomed to my twists and turns, and so has her family (as several of these have proven themselves to be effective, lol). Glad you liked this!
Appreciate the comments! Many Thanks!
