Need ideas!

[Emmysmom222]

Help! I have to do the two things that I hate the most tomorrow. Spend time with MIL and go shopping LOL. Granted the fact that maybe this is a step forward towards her accepting me, and hopefully I wont have to hear many sweetly administered cruel comments, but she wants me to go to pick out some stuff I would like for Christmas. She doesn't believe in giving a gift unless it's a gift one needs, and there is really nothing I need!
I have a new set of pots and pans from just 2 years ago (the non-stick ones) I have a full baking set that I got last year, too much silverware as it is, plenty of drinking glasses, 2 sets of dishes.. I can't think of ANYTHING!!! She's really obsessed with kitchen things, so maybe if I can think of something that's not too little and not too big for there, I can get it over with sooner lol. I know it sounds cruel, but I can't help but be uneasy around her, considering the last 6 years she's been on my back about everything under the sun, and at least once per meeting, she has a rude comment about private areas of my body. So, anyone have any ideas?

Bump, anyone have any ideas at all?

You could ask for a smoothie maker. They are about the size of a blender and $20-$30.

Smoothie maker sounds awesome!!!  Um-crockpot, rice cooker, steamer, cool mixer, coffee maker, waffle maker, indoor grill (DH has one and uses it all the time, and its small), new canisters for sugar, flour, ect.

good luck!!

bread maker

Oooo a smoothie maker would be great!! So wouldn't a steamer and rice cooker! SO got the indoor grill for Christmas last year and my own mother gave me a crock pot, but I could really get a lot of use out of the steamer. Those are all great ideas, I'll point them all out so she can't complain about having a variety to choose from!

I don't have a bread maker either, another awesome idea! You ladies rock! :)

I was going to suggest crock pot. My parents are buying us one, so excited! lol. Or a wine rack?? towels? blender?

[Emmysmom222]

A wine rack is a good idea, she's always bring some up with her and I have no place to store it besides the fridge. Sadly I don't need towels, everytime I look for one I notice there is 3 or 4 more extra in there that she keeps bringing. I have a blender too, but I don't trust the darn thing after my last one exploded.
