My mom got me some shoes I really wanted. I didn’t ask for anything and really didn’t want them to buy me things but my mom loves to give gifts.
Me and the H aren’t really doing gifts this year. My mom also usually gets me great face products (that I normally wouldn’t buy for myself) and I always appreciate that. I sent my parents flowers and am upgrading them to biz class on their next trip to visit me.

The only thing I've asked for this year are scratch off tickets. My husband and I do this for every holiday and anniversary. My MIL though has gifted us watching the grandkid while we go on a little overnight vacation.

Pottery barn blankets. They are on sale right now, I have a few and gift them to pretty much everyone >50 when I don’t know what else to get them, but they are so luxurious.

I got my grandparents a few blue apron meals since they love to cook but I worry about them going out in the winter for groceries.

Blankets are a great gift!

I work on a small 4 person remote team- 2 peers and our manager. My 2 peers were recently hired and started in February this year. I actually trained them since I have held that position (Manager). I have been at the company for 6 years and moved to a Sr. IC role. My skip-level was previously my direct manager. My manager told us about a plan to meet up in person this summer for team building. It slipped in a meeting today that everyone but me is included in going. More in comments.
