This may be time-consuming, but it wouldnt be terribly expensive. You could take a bunch of really meaingful photographs (family, friends, pictures of past family members, pictures of you and your husband, grandkids, etc) and make them into a calender. My brother and his wife did this for my parents, and they were extremely blessed! Really, anything personal would work just great. If either dad is a "workshop" kind of guy, you could have your husband make a special plaque made from wood, carved with "So and so's workshop". One year at Christmas, my mom selected many beautiful beads and created a rosary for my grandma. It moved her to tears! It was personal and very unique. Anyway... I hope that you find the perfect gift! Good luck!

You can make ornaments with a picture of you two on them or write "Merry Christmas 2006 Love (your names)" on them. Another good idea would be to make a wreath for them. I've made a wreath for my parents when money was short and it only cost about $4.00 for the materials. They still have it and it meant more knowing that it was made by me than me just buying it. I hope this helps out!

this year i got gifts for 8 friends (girls) what i did was buy 8 movie packs of candy(all different kinds) and wrapped them i tied a card to the top and they loved it! i also put a candy cane on the envelope on the card. so in all i spent around $14. at walmart they also have a box of 24 big candy canes for $3. since you can spend $5 per person tho, i would get each of them--- -a box of movie theater candy($1 @ walmart) -a fun sized pack of candy bars($0.98 @ walmart) - a bon bons lip gloss($0.98 @ walmart) OR -get a bulk sized thing of lip smackers chap stick/lip gloss and give each one 1 (around $8 walmart) so the total could be around $3 per person OR you could get them -fuzzy socks($4 @walmart, come 2 in a pack, so if you splip the pack it ould be $2 per person) -a mug and fill it with hot coco mix, candy cane, little candy bars good luck!

I like the calendar idea, only I would personalize it with photos for the 12 months. Include their kids' photos from when they grew up; very touching for those who have everything, and not too expensive.

Make a video of a day in the life of you and your husband. It will be a nice touch to see you as a cupple doing good just after the marriage.

A scrapbook one for each family. Begin with the grandparents or great grandparents, and continue thru to your wedding. Leave pages to add new additions.

Just after they got married, my brother-in-law and his wife gave home made calenders, with pictures of them. It is still treasured by my wife.
