Gifts play an important role in building the right relationships. To maintain a warm and friendly relationship, you should make presentations just like that, and a gift from the mother-in-law, chosen with a soul, will delight the daughter-in-law, prepare a fertile ground for friendship and respect. What to please, what gift to present to the future daughter-in-law, we will consider in this article.
It is not difficult to choose a surprise for a birthday for your son’s young wife, if you know her hobbies and tastes. Otherwise, it is better to choose universal gifts, without claiming originality, because the preferences and wishes of the young daughter-in-law are still unknown.
What should not be given
Surprises that can stun or frighten a girl will not work. Gold jewelry with a diamond, mink coat, car - inappropriate offerings. And also not a good surprise will be the proposed assistance in repairing the apartment of the future daughter-in-law. As a rule, when the repair takes over the mother-in-law, she does everything to her taste. This is already considered a violation of all the personal boundaries of the future daughter-in-law. In no case should you offer such help - this will completely scare off the still-unsuccessful daughter-in-law.
Public congratulations from a hired orchestra or creative team are also not the best present from a mother-in-law. You can immediately delete large household and kitchen appliances from gift offerings.
It is inappropriate to present a watch as a gift if the daughter-in-law is inclined to believe in folk signs. It is believed that they energetically affect the owner. Or you need to "buy off" such gifts with coins, that is, accept the offering, and give the donor a certain small amount of small money.
It is also undesirable to give pets. There are several good reasons for this:
- Pets instead of joy can bring unnecessary trouble and money costs;
- with such a gift, only close family members of the family can guess;
- Responsibility for the life of a pet is not to everyone's liking.
Best Gift Options
Giving a future daughter-in-law needs inexpensive gifts. In any case, the young girl’s son will like these things:
- soft umbrella - the right thing, always useful in the household;
- road beautician - an indispensable thing in travel;
- jewelry box or miniature figurines for jewelry - rings, bracelets, chains hang on them;
- mascot - a charm for the home, family;
- bathrobe for a bath;
- towel set for a bathroom;
- hydro massager;
- certificate to the spa;
- coffee, tea, sweets;
- aroma candles - help not only create an atmosphere of comfort in the house, but also have a healing effect on the psyche.
It is reckless to give gift sets related to the care of the skin of the face and body. It is individually. The aroma of perfume is difficult to guess. Only if the girl herself does not express preference.
Universal and inexpensive gift offerings can show a good, kind attitude towards a future young daughter-in-law.
If the girl has already entered the family, then her needs are easier to recognize. A gift in this case is selected in accordance with the tastes of the birthday girl. Giving a daughter-in-law a birthday is not forbidden:
- gold jewelry - chain, earrings, ring, bracelet, pendant with a horoscope symbol or icon;
- medium-sized household appliances - iron, vacuum cleaner, food processor, slow cooker, electric meat grinder, humidifier;
- linens;
- if a woman is driving, you can present car accessories: a brush for cleaning snow, a cloth for windows, a car flavor;
- beautiful, stylish leather diary, briefcase, card holder;
- certificate for cosmetic procedures;
- gift basket with a set of tea, coffee, sweets, sweets, fruits - This will undoubtedly please the daughter-in-law.
Surprises can be both material and spiritual. It can be tickets for a performance, a concert, an evening of relaxation.
If you plan to give young daughter-in-law tickets for a camp site or for a trip to the sea, then you must definitely warn in advance, as people may have their own plans. Otherwise, such a surprise can put the daughter-in-law in an uncomfortable position.
The daughter-in-law will be pleased with a set of expensive quality dishes. Cutlery, especially silver, is also a necessary thing in the household. According to popular beliefs, you should not give a set of knives - this can lead to quarrels and troubles in the family.
A good gift from the mother-in-law will be a bouquet of flowers. But an unusual bouquet, but an original one. Now there are many flower shops where they will make a wonderful composition of extravagant plants. If you know the preferences of the daughter-in-law, then you can choose flowers taking into account the taste of a relative. A shapeless bouquet of country flowers is not an option for a birthday present.
In addition to the bouquet, you can take a nice card and wish you health, happiness, love. Write everything by hand, and not choose a card where there are ready-made wishes.
If you know the hobby of the daughter-in-law, you can give a gift for this lesson. It can be:
- embroidery kits:
- knitting supplies;
- sets for decor;
- paints, brushes, canvases;
- sewing machine;
- knitting machine;
- casket for needlework;
- book corresponding to the hobby of the daughter-in-law.
DIY gift
DIY items are always original. Keep warm and good energy of the hands. This sign of attention suggests that the birthday girl is dear and beloved, and the time and effort spent on the craft only confirms this. If the mother-in-law is a wonderful culinary, why not present a home-made meal. Although many girls talk about diets, they like sweets and will be delighted with such a gift as a cake, unusual cookies, fruit baskets, muffins.
You can associate a cardigan, cape, pullover with the condition of fame of the size of the daughter-in-law. Plaids, original rugs, bedspreads will be a good offering. The mother-in-law, who has a long knitting experience, can knit a beautiful dress for the daughter-in-law.
This option should be discussed in advance so that the gift does not gather dust in the closet, but becomes a really necessary thing in the wardrobe of the birthday girl.
You can also surprise the daughter-in-law with embroidery. It is now fashionable to embroider with beads. The picture embroidered with beads will become a decoration of any apartment.
A wonderful surprise for the daughter-in-law will be custom portrait paints on canvas by a real artist. Such a work of art will bring not only aesthetic pleasure, but also fill the whole house with positive energy.
The modern look of a gift is a money envelope. This offering is universal and will appeal to any daughter-in-law, as it is sometimes difficult to cater to a person’s taste and mood.
An expensive present from a mother-in-law can be the result of generosity, but can be used as a means of manipulation. Accepting an unjustifiably expensive offering, one should think about whether it was presented with sincere sympathy or with the aim of putting it in an awkward position and making it obligated to the donor. In any case, you need to know that gifts love "reciprocal gestures."
If there is no way to repay “with the same coin”, you probably should not accept expensive offerings. You need to talk boldly and honestly with your mother-in-law.
Gifts from sister-in-law
The brother’s sister is the sister-in-law, in most cases maintains friendly or friendly relations with the daughter-in-law, and therefore is aware of her tastes and desires. It’s easier for the sister-in-law to pick up a sign of attention to the future daughter-in-law, as they are usually on the same wavelength, they know all the new items in perfumery, in creams, in fashion. What should not be given from the mother-in-law, it is permitted to give from the sister-in-law.
For example, you can give a brother’s wife to a brother-in-law:
- underwear, if the relationship is trusting;
- cream for skin care of the body, face;
- hair care kit;
- clothes
- perfume;
- certificate for visiting a plastic surgeon, if the daughter-in-law herself discussed this option;
- fashion accessories: beautiful leather belt, clutch bag, jewelry;
- hats;
- footwear.
The right gift option is to go shopping together with a young daughter-in-law, to pick up really necessary and suitable things for her.
Whatever the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, one needs to strive better for a bad world than for a good war. Accept the choice of a son, adopt a new person in the family.
The initiative in this case should come from the mother-in-law: small presentations, sincere signs of attention will create favorable conditions for respectful, good relations.
Undoubtedly, the gift from the mother-in-law should be from a pure heart, given with joy. Importantly, gifts should be accepted with a sincere, kind gratitude. Even if the gift was not to your liking, it’s not worth showing it, because the donor may be more upset than the birthday person. In no case can you give away gifts, because it may happen that a gift comes back after some time back to the donor, and it will be very ugly. Do not forget that giving surprises is as pleasant as receiving.
