How much should I spend on my in-laws?

Match whatever your partner spends on their own parents — literally ask. $30 to $75 per household is typical; consistency matters more than the number.

What's a safe gift for in-laws you don't know well?

Quality consumables and house gifts: a good cheese board, local maple syrup, a family photo in a nice frame. Avoid clothing sizes, strong scents, and anything that implies their house needs fixing.
