husband and mother in law can give gifts and the same would be tax free.
however, if you are to receive gifts in the form of some objects, like tv, freezer or car then you can receive them from non relatives as well. it wont be taxable.
usually friends living in different cities prefer to buy something online for gifting. if you are to receive such gifts then it wont be taxable irrespective of the relationship with the person gifting you.
