Maybe something marriage-related would be nice, like [Welsh lovespoons](http://www.welsh-lovespoons.co.uk/) or something similar that relates to your/the SIL’s heritage. You can get small ones - they don’t have to be displayed on a wall. A restaurant voucher is a nice idea if they have regular babysitting and like to eat at restaurants and if it works at the restaurants they like. A voucher for somewhere generic like Amazon would be more likely to be used; they might then buy something that they would otherwise have considered too frivolous but nonetheless enjoy.
