What should I choose as a gift for me?
Making a long story short, my future parents-in-law want to buy me some sort of expensive gift as a wedding gift. The only problem is that I already own just about everything I want. I already have custom suits, and I don't like to wear a watch, which are the two things they were thinking of. I'd rather they didn't buy me anything, but they're set on it. What can I suggest as a cool gift that isn't something silly (like a new TV or motorcycle), or just straight up money?
Basically, some sort of classy, expensive gift.

Anal with their daughter FTW.
This is a tough proposition. You want to seem grateful, but not greedy. And as classy as the gift is, you must be classier in accepting the gift, as well as in treating their daughter.
Do you like art? To hang on the wall? Or a nice piece of furniture?
Cooking lessons?
I'll tell you what a girl once told me (even though it didn't stick with me) -- An important man wears a watch.
A timepiece is traditional, and it's pretty pimpish.
More suits is always nice. Or how about some fine shoes?
Or how about a ground effects body kit for your sweet Ford Neon?

I love buying gifts
you are a lawyer right do you own a nice briefcase?
What about a desk? some cool wood, real craftmanship or antic.
A set of first edition books that you like.
Do you cook? a set of high end knifes
A big ass barbeque.
Got room to build a sauna in your hosue?

A nice new barbeque sounds pretty good.
If your current BBQ is more than 5 years old go with that. __________________

These are great suggestions, thanks. I already have our condo jam-packed with stuff, and our HOA won't let us have barbecues on the balcony. So that's out.
I was thinking of custom-made shoes, always wanted those, but it seems like people might think I was ridiculous for spending 3k on a pair of shoes. Including myself.
I already own a pretty nice briefcase.
You see my dilemma. One thought I have is a really nice digital SLR would be a good gift.

Maybe something for the home...like a nice custom library/study with desk, chair, and bookshelf, all with matching wood? A pool? Gazebo and landscaping in the back yard? Hmm.
I don't know. But I do know that I hate you for having custom suits. I actually only own 4 suits since I somehow lost one moving home. Last week I tried on an $80 suit (actually separates) from walmart.
PS: Okay, I don't hate you. I especially don't hate you if you have any old size 42 jacket/34 waist suits you're thinking of throwing away, or size 10 shoes...
