What did you get from the In laws? And..what did your parents give to you?

They gave us really nice set of sheets, Brooks Brothers gift card for DH, Brooks sweater for me and a JCrew sweater for me, for my Bday.

My parents gave DH: a gift card to, yes...his favorite tanning salon, a fancy new frying pan (he loves cookware), and a cashmere sweater. We also got (from my parents) a new dustbuster, which I LOVE--more than any clothes I got! For my bday, my parents gave me some pretty clothes!
