My parents are getting nothing, I don't talk to my mother and I only see my father for about an hour once a year. My FIL will be getting one of the crime novels that Big W sells for $3.47. We don't have much money and he appreciates having a paperback book to read on his and MIL's travels. MIL is getting nothing as nothing we've ever given her has ever been good enough including photos of her grandchildren
