For just a little "thinking of you" gift, a mason jar cookie mix goes a long way toward making someone happy, or home-baked goods in general, wrapped up all festive-like. Are you craftyish at all? My friends tend to really enjoy homemade sugar scrubs and other handmade items that are easy to whip up in a pinch..
I'm not super crafty. May is a crazy gift month for me, with birthdays for my Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother-in-Law but not sure what to get any of them. I'm thinking of gift cards, but that always feels like I put no thought into the gift.

if it wasnt for the $100 day challenge, I might've left the computer. This challenge brings you money people. Power of the peach
Again it was another day that I nearly gave up in the morning.
Competitiveness is a good thing sometimes :D

Who is the relative? I'm a fan of framing nice pics of my kids/family for older relatives (they have everything they need for the most part).
I'm thinking of that for Mother's Day. My go to gift is usually something with a picture of my two boys on something I make from Shutterfly, but you can probably only do that so many times. I don't know.

No worries.@SweetiePuff 's idea of nice framed photos is marvelous for each of those people. There are a lot of places to get cheap but nice frames! You could still add in a cookie mix jar or some baked goods if you wanted. For Grandpa, mine always got tickled to death over a spiffy new shirt in his favorite style. For Grandma and MIL, a little gift basket with bath items or a cozy blanket tends to work well. You can always add in the framed picture as an extra personalized surprise to anything you come up with.

Does anyone have a go to gift you buy for relatives when you have no idea what to buy them?
Photos. I give all of my friends and family portraits of themselves, their whole families, or their pets... often printed and framed if it's a big life event. No one in my circle goes without home movies, photos of major events, etc and so on. Photos before they move, photos of the new place after they get unpacked... etc and so on.
