When I say no, my family mostly just thinks I'm being a b*tch. <br /><br />Thankfully, my husband's family totally understands so all I need to do is let go of worrying about what my family of origins thinks.

I'd considered making photo frames or a calendar with all of our family's pictures, or giving everyone a baby spider plant, from the ones constantly propagating in my window. Maybe next year.<br /><br />Otherwise, I highly recommend google for ideas.
