You may not know your mother-in-law the way you know your own. This makes gift giving a bit stressful, especially considering the pressure that can come with the dynamic.

It does not have to be hard though. Get your mother-in-law a gift based on her interests or a gesture you think she would appreciate. Here are some ideas.

It is said that spending money on experiences and making new memories is the best way to invest in your happiness. Gift your mother-in-law with tickets to a live show or book her a weekend getaway.

Observe the kind of jewelry she wears. Consider whether she likes gold or silver metals, or what stones or pendants she's drawn to. Get her an everyday jewelry piece like a bracelet or necklace to match her tastes.

Strutting around the house in a good-quality robe can make you feel like royalty. Choose a plush option made from premium materials like linen or cotton for maximum comfort.

Give the gift of spa-like relaxation with a handpicked assortment of items. Consider bath bombs, body care products, a candle or even a bottle of wine.

Tableware pottery makes for beautiful decorations that also have function. Visit a local or online shop to find artisan-made pottery or you and your family could try your hand in making some yourselves.  

Give your mother-in-law a gift that she can use year-round with a customized calendar featuring different family pictures for each month.  

Maybe it has been a while since your mother-in-law indulged in a good book. Gift her a few titles from a new series you think she may be interested in!.  

If your mother-in-law is a stationary lover, gift her with personalized products like notepads, letters or stock notes that feature her name or initials monogrammed on it.

A silk shawl can simultaneously be used for comfort and style on top of looking luxurious. Opt for a patterned shawl that makes a statement or one that is neutral-toned so it matches any outfit.

This is a step up from going the traditional route and getting her a candle. An oil diffuser allows you to choose between various scents that evoke different sensations and create a sense of calm.

Encourage your mother-in-law to start a new hobby by gifting her the materials she needs. This can include a watercolor kit if she is interested in art or pickleball paddles if she likes to be active.
