In that boat with you. Fortunately for me, we now do 'secret Santa' where each person buys for one other person, and hallelujah, I got my sister-in-law.
Maybe you could get her a journal and a nice pen to write in it. Might give her a chance for some self-examination!

For your husband's sake I'm sure you want to be civil with her. My go to gift for someone that I'm not sure what to get for them due to .....well, anything, is a set of lotions from Bath&Body Works. It's a nice gift, no one can really complain or say it was thoughtless. In fact, for all they know you took an hour trying to find a scent they would appreciate. It's a gift that will not be unflattering, compared to maybe an ugly sweater someone gave you out of spite, so after all is said an done, you were thoughtful and sincere, and probably the bigger person. Whatever you choose, good luck!

Well for one she is certainly RUDE! She should be thankful your even getting her anything at all, let alone telling you what to get her. Go ahead and give it to her anyways, if she doesn't like or want it give her the receipt as well. Next year maybe you should just send her a card since she is so ungrateful.

That will be hard if you are only going to spend $15.00 on her, how about a 8x10 glossy picture of you, lol.

go to the dollar store and buy her one of them ceramic glass angels, only make sure it has a small chip on it's shoulder. Then take the $13.92 you will have left and treat your self to lunch for a job well done. :)

A giftcard is impersonal enough to let her know that you still don't like her, but it's thoughtful enough so everyone will think you are trying. Good Luck!

Gift certificate for a pedicure. It's a nice thought if you liked her, but you don't so it's kind of ornery
