Oh, our town has a holiday 'abundance' swap, which is lovely. Lots of gratitude and sweetness. I'm gifting some old Coach handbags I don't use - I know they'll end up much appreciated. And I'll pick up some sweet things. It's a beautiful event.

What a great event G. I swap stuff with family and friends.

Most of our family has gone pretty minimalistic with gift giving... except my mother-in-law. Every year I tell her that we just want to have a fun visit at Christmas, and every year she buys everyone (not just us, but everyone in her family, and she gives money to just about everyone who ever does any type of work for her) too much stuff and then complains about how much it costs.
I get it - she likes gifts. I also get that, at about 85 years of age, she's not going to change. But we don't have to reciprocate her way. We take a week of vacation and drive across the frozen Midwest each Christmas, and while there I do a lot of cooking and baking, both for meals and for the freezer. We always have a couple of small gifts for her, but the biggest gift is bringing her granddaughter for a visit.
How nice you go there and cook, I am sure she appreciates it very much.

I probably would get something useful.... a nice flashlight or food that is refreshing and light ...
