MIL gift idea help.

My grandmother in-law wants me to take her shopping for my MIL's christmas gift. The only thing is neither one of us have any idea what to get her. My DH is absolutely no help either. I even asked my MIL if there was anything she'd like & she said she couldn't think of anything. Her boyfriend always gets her good electronic items. She doesn't like mani/pedi stuff. I'm at a complete loss. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • I'd have to know more about her. Does she have hobbies? Does she collect anything? Is she more of an experience person (take her to lunch vs giving her another necklace)?

  • She doesn't collect anything because she doesn't like clutter. She used to do cake decorating but then her mom moved in with her & she's not allowed to use the kitchen. She likes to read, she likes wine, she has alot of jewelry already. She's been doing alot of renovations on the house.

  • The new Barbara Kingsolver book just came out. 

    Wine sounds good (or generally going gift shopping at the liquor store is a great idea)

    CD (I'm eying Susan Boyle for my mom)

  • Why are YOU shopping for MIL and not DH? Sounds like his problem, not yours. JMO

  • Reidel has nice decanders and glasses for 2 - even if she already has crystal, these are more every day.  They sell them at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  Maybe adda bottle of wine if you want toget a bigger gift.

    I don't know what kids of electronics her bf buys her, but if she is into cameras and pictures, maybe a digital picture frame?

    Last thought is a wine and cheese pairing at a local restaurant that has them.

  • Maybe a cake decorating class?
