How to pick the best Christmas gift for your mother-in-law

With a little bit of thought and effort, you can give your mother-in-law the perfect holiday gift. Consider these tips when brainstorming ideas:

  • What are her hobbies? Does she like to garden, knit, read or hike?
  • What’s something that she’d love to have but would never buy for herself? Moms tend to pass on things they want so they can make sure everyone else is taken care of. Put her first when thinking about the perfect gift.
  • Consider gifting her an experience that she’d enjoy. Think tickets to see her favorite band or sports team, or a gift certificate to the new restaurant in town.

What can I get the mother-in-law who has everything?

If your mother-in-law already seems to have everything she could possibly want or need, pull on the heartstrings and get her something sentimental, like…

  • A personalized blanket with photos of her family and pets
  • A customized calendar
  • Jewelry featuring her family’s birthstones
  • A subscription box

What are the best DIY Christmas gifts for mothers-in-law?

Nothing speaks to the heart quite like a handmade gift. Try out these perfect DIY Christmas gifts for her:

  • Homemade bath bombs. Treat your mother-in-law to a calm, relaxing evening at home with homemade bath bombs featuring her favorite scents and colors.
  • Vintage teacup candles. Is your mother-in-law the antiquing type? Find a unique teacup and use it as the vessel for a hand-poured candle.
  • Photo coasters. Find some of her favorite pictures of the family, print them out and use Mod Podge to adhere them onto ceramic coasters.
  • Reclaimed wood signs/artwork. Using reclaimed barn wood is a popular trend right now, and for good reason. Make your own sign or piece of art that she’ll treasure forever.
