    Default what do you think?

    for mil/fil for christmas I have some home made jam/jelly
    for friends some home made applesauce

    do you think that's appropriate? or do you think it is cheesy?

    Hmm... for mil...coal? regifted underwear?

    Don't know much about fil so I can't answer. But the food gifts sound nice & not at all cheesy.

    LOL Darlene, it has crossed my mind. And i thought of all kinds of other things i could regift too, lol.

    I wanted to be sure these were appropriate. so that if they are nasty about the jam/jelly, at least in my heart i know they were good gifts. So i wanted to be sure it wasn't just me who would like these.

    Well, I agree with Darlene about MIL's "gift" but I'm sure you are going to take the high road.

    I think homemade jams/jellies and applesauce are wonderful gifts! In fact I gave some of those myself this year!

    I think they are wonderful gifts. You made them with your hands and put thought and care into them. If your in-laws don't like them, well I won't even go there!
