New Year is a wonderful occasion to gather the whole family at the festive table. This magical night involves miracles, the joy of loved ones and the exchange of gifts. However, the choice of presents is sometimes confusing. Let's figure out what you can give your husband's parents for the New Year.
Paired Gifts
When preparing for the holiday, you must decide: either the gift will be addressed to both spouses, or you will prepare a surprise for each of them. It is easy and difficult to choose a general New Year's present at the same time. On the one hand, the task is simplified by the fact that instead of two gifts you need to come up with one. On the other hand, you have to find something that will equally please both the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law.
Well, if the husband tells you the solution, because he knows his parents better. If he does not have any ideas, you will have to call your imagination to help.
In this case, several important points should be taken into account:
- age of spouses;
- their financial situation;
- their hobbies, tastes.
Depending on this, you can decide whether the gift will be practical, or it will be aimed at receiving enthusiastic emotions. So, let's look at some great options for New Year's surprises.
- Symbolic presents. Traditionally, souvenirs with the image of the symbol of the year are presented on such a holiday. But it does not have to be a figurine or a useless fridge magnet. You can find themed 3D bedding set, decorative sofa cushions or a fluffy plaid. Such a surprise will be equally beautiful and useful.
- Comfort items. There are many things that can bring harmony and comfort to a home. This can be a stylish floor lamp, biofireplace, decorative fountain, bonsai, salt lamp and similar products.
- Gift-impression. If your spouse’s parents are still young and full of energy, you can please them with the opportunity to spend time together without two. Theater tickets will appeal to an intelligent couple. Dinner for two at the restaurant will be a wonderful gift for those who are busy with different things and do not find time for a beautiful romantic vacation. A trip to a sanatorium or a recreation center will allow you to spend time in nature and improve your health. A tour to a warm country will cause a lot of enthusiasm for any couple. And for the most active spouses who love adventure, you can offer a balloon flight.
- Gifts for health. If the husband’s parents are already at a mature age, you can give them something useful. Orthopedic pillows, a humidifier or an ionizer, massage chair covers and other similar things will show the spouses how you care about them.
- Appliances. A slow cooker, a juicer, a bread machine or an automatic vegetable slicer can be an excellent present, but only if the husband’s parents themselves want to buy such an aggregate, but for some reason they can’t do it. If you are not sure whether this item is useful in the household, it is better to choose something else.
- To give. If the spouses spend a lot of time on the plot, the appropriate gift would be a set of plastic furniture, sun loungers, a barbecue or something else that increases the comfort of being outdoors.
- Entertaining presents. If your relatives love to sing, give them a karaoke system. Other options are possible.
- Family portrait by photo. Finding an artist who can create a masterpiece depicting spouses is not difficult today. Such a picture will be a worthy decoration of the living room and a wonderful reminder of your attention to family members.
- DIY gifts. If you yourself are cooking natural soap, beautifully pack a couple of fragrant pieces. If you are good in the kitchen, you can bake a delicious cake or gingerbread cookies in the shape of snowflakes, cook tangerine jam to the festive table. And you can make a collage of family photos. By the way, a photo album with photographs of grandchildren can also be a wonderful holiday present.
Mention should be made of unwanted gift options. Do not give dishes if the parents of her husband have so much. Towels and tablecloths are also usually found in excess of mother-in-law. Flower vases and other decor items most often turn out to be superfluous and simply gather dust on the shelves.
Mother in law gift
If you cannot choose a worthy general gift, You can approach the issue, taking into account the individuality of each gifted.
- Hobby related items. Take an interest in the latest hobbies of a woman. It can be knitting, embroidery, scrapbooking, decoupage or something else. Specialty stores offer a large selection of materials for needlewomen.
- Accessories If you know the taste of the mother-in-law well, you can give her a refined stole. A beautiful purse or cosmetic bag will also be a good gift.
- A tea set. If a woman likes tea, you can give her several varieties of good tea and a box for storing it.
- Certificate. If the mother-in-law is young and looks after herself, the certificate to the perfumery or cosmetics store will certainly please her. Do not give any specific means - let the mother-in-law make a choice on her own. A subscription to a manicure or a visit to the spa is also a good option.
In no case should you give age-old cosmetics. No matter how expensive she may be, a woman can take this for an unpleasant hint of her age.
An on-duty gift set, consisting of shower gel and deodorant, is also unlikely to be appreciated.
Slippers and a bathrobe can please an elderly woman, but the mother-in-law in full bloom will cause bewilderment. New Year is too magical a holiday for such platitudes. On this day, every woman wants to shine, to feel beautiful and elegant.For the same reason, it is worth removing cookbooks, baking dishes, pots and other similar things from the list of ideas.
Present to father-in-law
- Items related to active hobbies. If the father-in-law is an avid fisherman, he will like the elements of the appropriate equipment. A thermos and a kettle will also be appropriate. If he is interested in sports, you can give him, for example, dumbbells. A home exercise machine is an expensive, but extremely useful gift for someone who wants to keep fit.
- Presentations related to home hobbies. An e-book is a great gift for a literature buff. If a man is conservative, a collection of paper books of interesting topics will delight him.
- Useful certificate. A subscription to a free car wash or interior cleaning is a pleasant surprise. Any motorist will appreciate it.
- A gift for health. An elderly man taking medication can be given an electronic pill box. The device will not allow him to forget about taking drugs.
- Accessories A young father-in-law will like a soft scarf, a cozy fashionable sweater or warm gloves. If this is a business man, you can present him with a tie or cufflinks.
You should not give a standard razor set, which is already becoming a topic for jokes. Power tools and spare parts for cars are objects that are strange to take from a woman, even if she accidentally guessed with a choice.
Remember that the New Year implies a festive atmosphere. Do not go too far into practicality, let the gifts pleasantly surprise, bring joy to the house. If you approach the choice with all responsibility, you can be sure that your family will become even stronger and happier from your attention.
