The Winners - Past and Active Gifts!
Here are some of the "winner" gift ideas we've given over the years. Some of these are still "active" gifts, so it'll be interesting to see what family members read my post and spoil their upcoming gifts!

The joke amongst my husband and his siblings is that there's a favorite child. So for his mom we did a personal inscription of, "We all know David is your favorite." Instant laughs!

Soaps that smell like your favorite book characters! They had a Harry Potter series that I LOVED, especially the Snape one. Hopefully they'll bring it back!

Apple Watches do so much for us, but they don't always fit our outfits! Especially when trying to dress up! Copper Robin has these gorgeously decorated bands, to make your hardware a little more appealing.

Dr. Pepper is the drink of choice amongst most of the family. And so, they often go missing from the main fridge. So, we got Mom a personal Dr. Pepper fridge for her office, so she can always be ready!

If I see something I want that is limited-availability, I go ahead and buy it for myself and let my husband gift it to me later! This ended up being one of my birthday presents. I loved the flowers and bright colors, and the inspirational scripture! Keeps me going on the hardest days!

Got the "Forgetting Something" version for my mom, because we had just been talking the week before about how our brains are constantly jumbled! So many other great sayings, and the towels are cute!

My mom and I are big list-makers, and you need motivating paper to get your lists completed! More witty sayings, and the same vintage design as the towels!

My mother-in-law loves puns, and I couldn't pass up this sticker! We paired it with a Salad Dressing Mixer Bottle, to umph up the gift.
If you ever find something you want to gift but it's not quite enough, find another small gift that coordinates!
Christmas-Specific Gifts

In our church, we get married in local temples, and each location has it's own look! The snowflake look using the building spire makes these super unique! They are also relatively inexpensive, so get multiple styles!
We got married in the Las Vegas temple, my husband's parents in Salt Lake City, and my parents in Los Angeles!
