It might take a bit of effort, but getting along with your in-laws isn't an inaccessible dream. Sure, the word, "Mother-in-law" might conjure up an image of a haughty, domineering, bossy, bitter old lady with whom you have little to nothing in common. Dealing with the in-laws can be the foundation of colossal marital conflict.
Then there's the choosing the gifts for the in-laws. If they like you, choosing something shouldn't be too testing, but if your relationship's rocky and your parents in law can't stand you, it can be nothing short of a challenge.
When one said "I do" to their spouse, they also said "I do" to their entire family. They are, in essence, just as bound to these people as they are to their significant other.
Save yourself going down the repackaged-wedding-gifts-and-new-socks route. Whatever your budget or your in-laws' preferences, you can choose thoughtful, useful birthday, anniversary or Christmas gifts for in-laws that'll be treasured and enjoyed (even if you aren't).
