For the Entertainer
Customized Glassware - Great for those who love to entertain and want to add a personal touch to their at-home bar. These would be a great housewarming or wedding gift, too!
Corkpops Wine Opener with foil cutter - The easiest way to uncork a wine bottle! This newer model comes with a foil cutter, too.
Wine Foil Cutter - Great for the friend who already has a wine opener they love! Pair this with the wine saver featured next or your favorite bottle of red.
Vacu Vin Wine Saver - Extend the “counter life” of your opened wine bottle with this simple vacuum sealer.
For the Tech Lover
Amazon Echo Show - My parents have this and love it for playing music, reading recipes, asking about the weather, viewing pictures from family — it does it all!
Amazon Echo Dot - My father in law has these all over his house to play music and control the lights! Pair it with a smart plug (featured below) to get that functionality!
Smart Plugs - Allows your Amazon devices to control your lights, appliances, and more.
UE WONDERBOOM Portable Speaker - We’ve had this small but mighty speaker for years, and it is still is great shape. It’s compact and waterproof which makes it easy to take with you everywhere. It also sends out a mega sound and is great for watching outdoor movies.
Apple TV - Since we live in a world where every streaming service is separate, this is a great way to access everything at once. It’s easy to use and will blend in with any home decor.
Amazon Fire Stick TV - This is a much more affordable option that offers similar functionality to the Apple TV.
For the Outdoorsy In Laws
Cornhole - I recommend getting the regulation size! While it is large and a little bit more expensive, it holds up well over time and is sturdy enough to withstand even the hardest of throws!
Boccee Ball - A great, classic yard game that everyone can can play!
Kan Jam - I’m terrible at throwing frisbees, but I still love playing this game. This is a great, unique option that not many people own.
Rocking Foldable Lawn Chairs - If a rocking chair and a folding camp chair had a baby…this is what you’d get. Super comfortable “rocking” lawn chairs that use a hydraulics system. We love ours!
Insulated Mug - 14oz handle - Great for the parent or in law that loves to enjoy coffee outside on cold mornings.
For the Chef
Instant Pot - I feel like there’s nothing this appliance can’t do! We use ours weekly to make soups quickly and to steam egg bites.
Air Fryer - If you want restaurant quality fries, look no further. This also makes your leftovers taste like a “first day” meal.
For the Gardener
AeroGarden - Perfect for a chef, too, so this could fit into either category. This is a simple and space efficient way to grow indoors herbs or veggies!
The Sill - A great house plant business that provides almost as much plant education as they do actual plants!
For the Homebody
Amazon Throw Blanket - This lives at the end of our bed as a nice decorative touch during the day and acts as a mid-weight blanket at night. Super versalite and still looks great after dozens of washes.
Target Throw Blankets
Candle Set - Candle sets are always a safe bet, because your parent or in law is bound to like at least one of the scents!
