10 Great and Simple Gift Ideas for the Mother-in-Law
Buying a gift for the mother-in-law can be quite tricky, so we’ve come up with 10 lovely (but simple) ideas to help take the stress out of gift buying for your partner’s mum.
- A set of toiletries
A nice set of toiletries always make a nice gift as they’re something that everyone uses, but people rarely buy luxury ones for themselves. Go for a really frivolous set or even a big hamper if your budget allows to really ‘wow’ her and spoil her.
- Delivered flowers
Fresh flowers delivered to your door is a great treat that is perfect for birthdays and other special occasions as it really treats the recipient. You can even order a florist delivery online at sites like http://www.flowerssameday.co.uk/ which is great if you’ve left it a little last minute, too!
- A tea and mug set
Mums love tea, so a nice set of fancy tea and a new mug to enjoy it from is a lovely idea that she’d no doubt really appreciate. You could also opt for a matching coaster for extra brownie points as well.
- Scented candles
A lovely and simple gift for the home and to help your mother-in-law treat herself is some scented candles. You can’t beat the ones from www.yankeecandle.co.uk when it comes to quality and variety, and the prices aren’t too bad for the sizes.
- Perfume
Perfume can be a tricky thing to buy someone, but if you know what sort of brands and scents she likes, you can easily make an informed decision. If in doubt, take a peek at her collection and see what she’s running out of; particularly more pricey ones that she’s unlikely to replace herself.
- Framed photos of the family
A framed photo of the whole family, or even just the little ones, always goes down well. If you want something a little different and maybe a little more modern, a photo canvas is a nice idea.
- A photo locket
Photo lockets are lovely and are a really special and timeless gift. There are loads of different options available on this site which are really lovely, and you can fill them with pictures for her so it’s complete as soon as she’s given it.
- A plant for the garden
If your mother-in-law likes gardening, something pretty for the garden like a plant is a good idea, especially something a little more luxurious than she’d usually opt for, like roses, for example.
- A foot spa
Help her relax with her very own at-home foot spa. They’re not actually that expensive either these days and you could give it to her in a set with new fancy bubble bath and slippers if you want to go that extra mile for extra brownie points.
- A spa day gift certificate
Or if your budget is a little higher you could get her a ticket to go and have a full day at an actual spa which is guaranteed to be a winner for any occasion!
