Re: Gift Idea For My MIL....

  • Maybe donate some toys to an angel tree in her name?
    .
  • What is she into?  What is her personality?

    My MIL loves to cook, loves red wine and is very faithful/religious.  She travels quite a bit.  She has a great sense of humor too.  

    I always give her pictures of the kids, in frames.  She loves those.  If you don't have kids, maybe a picture of you and Dh? 

    So...this year I have so far for her:

    Cooking Magazine

    Yogurt Maker

    Red Wine Aerator

    Monogrammed Jewelry Roll/Travel Thingie 

    Hardcover Book on Places of Worship Around the World 

  • What would your MIL consider special?

    My mother loves to read so I bought her a gift card to her favorite bookstore. My mother had "wish list" items on her list that were more practical, but I added the bookstore GC as the special item.

  • It would be easier to suggest you some if you let us know the choice of your MIL.
  • I bought my MIL a collage picture frame that has "FAMILY" in the middle.  I had planned on putting pictures in them of the two of them, my BIL, SIL and their two kids and us.  I talked to her the same that I bought it and she mentioned that there was a small one that she wanted so I got lucky in getting her something that she wanted.  She also wants to take pictures of all of us when we drive down there this weekend so I opted to leave the pictures out. 

    Sentimental gifts like that are always a good idea.

    Anniversary
  • I got my MIL a necklace from thevintagepearl.com with her grandkids names on it but they have a lot of other great gifts too.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Thank you all for the wonderful ideas! What makes my MIL so special is that she is a wonderful person, she is always giving and providing for others! She is always having us for dinner and make our birthdays special. We ended up getting her new pi's, a plush rob and a beautiful Pandora bracelet. We got her a few charms to get started including a mother charm, a scissor charm (since she enjoys sewing) and her birth stone charm! :-)
