ROFL!!!

I hope you're buying the perfume from Jack's eBay store.

I'm leaving my in-laws completely up to hubby this year, he's not getting away with it again. LOL!!

Get her nothing, just a card that says "those that ask, don't get" - if she's over 50, she's bound to have said it at one time or another to one or all of her children

If that's a bit radical - garden rubbish bags?
