New Year is one of the family holidays, giving all households a lot of positive emotions. The choice of gifts for him has to be approached thoroughly, and especially if it is a gift for the mother-in-law. We hope that the material in our article will help readers find useful information and determine the best idea for the presentation.
The nuances of choice
It is no secret that the gift to be given to the mother-in-law will be appreciated from all sides. In order not to face the dirt and not offend her husband’s mother, you need to take into account its interests, because the gift should be liked, even if a symbolic option is chosen. It’s not at all necessary to try to surprise a woman with an expensive present, since with each new gift they can expect more from you. You can focus on the unusual ideas and care.
It is necessary to take into account the health and age of the mother-in-law, correlating the present with her lifestyle and interests.
For instance, if the husband’s mother loves needlework, but because of old age, he sees poorly, no need to give her an embroidery kit. She will be more pleased to receive a ready-made embroidered picture with a harmonious pattern as a gift, with which she can decorate one of the rooms of the house. In addition, a self-made product will indicate care, which is important for any mother.
The choice of a gift will also depend on the degree of closeness of the daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law. If the relationship is official and not quite warm, you should not resort to creativity, which can be estimated as a kind of sub-emphasis. Give something that can be useful in everyday life, but will not cause negative emotions. For example, between a service and a set of knives (or a frying pan) it is better to prefer the first option.
Going through gift ideas, consider the attitude towards yourself. If the mother-in-law accepts the daughter-in-law as a daughter, you can give her what you give to your mother. Pay attention to the status of women in society. Someone likes expensive French perfumes, while others value hand-made products more. Still others like unusual surprise gifts.
It can be a trip to the sea, or a long-awaited and unexpected meeting with close friends organized by you. However, whatever you choose, the gift should not offend the mother-in-law. For example, the same pan is far from the best option, because the mother-in-law can understand the gift as the phrase "your place in the kitchen."
Of course, someone likes dishes, but you need to pick up such gifts if the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law have a trusting relationship.
New Year Gift Ideas
If the mother-in-law loves to cook, you can give her some household appliances that facilitate the process. Such a present will make the woman's stay in the kitchen more comfortable, reducing her labor costs for preparing culinary delights.
For example, if a woman bakes bread, you can please her with a new bread machine. In this case, you can choose a device that will have the options of kneading dough, cooking muffins, jams, as well as other desserts. If the mother-in-law with the daughter-in-law is in a good relationship, she will be glad of such a gift.
If the husband’s mother attaches particular importance to the preparation of tea, you can please her by buying a special machine for brewing tea and coffee, which is called a French press. In addition to these drinks, she will be able to brew fragrant herbs in it. She is unlikely to buy this for herself, but the gift will certainly not be left without attention.
If a woman suffers from allergies, you can take care of her by giving air ionizer. This gift will be useful and very valuable for the husband’s mother, because she will be able to completely relax, not paying attention to allergies.
The gift is really useful, in addition, it will be relevant for illnesses, making the atmosphere in the house comfortable for all households.
If the relationship is warm, you can take care of the health of the mother in law by giving her massage subscription. She will definitely like these procedures, which will strengthen relations and improve the opinion of you. A lot of pleasant emotions can give certificate to the spa, where the mother-in-law will be able to independently choose the best procedure for herself. If you have finances, you can give ticket to the holiday home, where a woman can improve her health.
When choosing the last gift, it is necessary to clarify in advance whether the woman plans to leave the city these days. Perhaps this will not work due to her plans.
Maybe the ticket will be for two, but because you have to ask the father-in-law. In addition, choosing a gift with a set of cosmetic procedures, you need to consider whether a woman can go for a specific procedure, whether it is possible for her because of her health.
If the mother-in-law takes care of herself, you can give her professional salon manicure. It is rare that a woman refuses this, and the effect of such a procedure today can last from 2 weeks to a month. If the husband’s mother prefers to do manicure at home, you can give her a set of cosmetic products for coating and drying nails, which are used in the salon. It will not cost so much, but will be remembered for a long time.
Original presents
Based on the interests of the mother-in-law and her lifestyle, we can approach the issue of choosing a gift for the New Year differently. You can choose a gift that will be useful in everyday life. For example, it could be:
- special orthopedic pillow to relieve back and neck pain;
- a blanket with a heating option so that her husband's mother can warm up in a comfortable chair while reading books or watching her favorite TV show;
- a massage chair, thanks to which it will be possible to relieve muscle tension and relax the body;
- a pillow-robot that improves sleep, adapts to the breath and simulates the dawn;
- smart scales for food, if the mother-in-law carefully monitors nutrition;
- transparent toaster, in which the degree of readiness of toasts will be visible;
- smart alarm clock imitating dawn and having the option of choosing a melody to wake up;
- a mug that changes the temperature of the drink, allowing you to maintain a given temperature regime;
- tickets for her and her father-in-law to the theater or to a concert;
- biofireplace or salt lamp to relax before bedtime;
- vibration massage cape on the chair, through which a woman can relax the muscles of the body;
- a tablet or a smartphone so that the mother-in-law could communicate more often with her daughter-in-law and son.
When choosing one or another option, it is important to consider the budget for the gift, financial situation and preferences of the mother-in-law.
For example, an original gift may be gala dinner in a restaurant or a trip for two (mother-in-law and father-in-law) to the city of their youth or a certain place significant for them. Someone can afford to give her mother in law a balloon ride or a horse ride. A good gift can be an e-book.
However, when choosing a gift, it is important to consider the fact that we can not forget about the father-in-law. Therefore, some gifts may be double: for her and for him. For example, it could be warm mittens, scarves, body care kits. Someone has resorted to such non-standard solutions as buying a master class in Argentinean tango.
Symbolic tokens
If the relationship between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law is not so warm, you can give her a symbolic gift for New Year. For example, it can be a bonsai tree or some kind of souvenir at all. However, today we are used to the fact that gifts should be useful. Therefore, it is better to choose an inexpensive solution, but one that can be used in everyday life or useful for home decoration.
For example, you can pre-order production family portrait in the form of photo printing on a tree or plates. It can be hung on the wall, giving the interior a special flavor. Looking at a portrait or a family picture, the woman will think about the pleasant, these thoughts will be associated with the daughter-in-law.
It is not at all necessary to order a huge picture, since the price for it will be impressive. If you want to do something special, you can order a family collage in the form of a composition of several photos within.
Symbolic but useful gifts can be iron, blender, water filter. Other solutions include a bedding set, which is inexpensive, and is never superfluous. However, when choosing here you need to look at the quality of the material, as well as its color. For example, you can choose an option with a thematic print, timed to coincide with the New Year holidays. At the same time, it will be useful to take into account the color gamut, which should relax and tune in to positive thoughts.
Don’t give away something that is not needed and will not come in handy (for example, fridge magnets, tiny glass figurines). Such presents only gather dust on the shelves, they are quickly forgotten.
For that matter, give sweets by ordering a set in the form of unusual candies. And you can make sweets yourself. It can be gingerbread in unusual individual packaging.
Can give set of scarf and gloveswrapping it in beautiful brown paper. Paying attention to what bag walking mother in law, give her a new and high quality. If she doesn't have wallet, pick one so that the woman is comfortable using it. If she wears glasses, you can give her new and modern ones, paying attention to diopters and other necessary parameters.
Useful gifts
You can give your beloved mother-in-law a lot of things useful in everyday life. For example, if a woman is used to taking care of herself, you can update her styling products by giving her a hairdryer with several modes of operation. You can give and a curling iron, as well as a visit to a professional stylist. It is rare that a woman refuses new experiments and fresh ideas for her image.
A woman who spends a lot of time reading books can be presented for the New Year book, given its preferences in the subject of works and the choice of authors.
By the way, this is a good and unbreakable idea when a gift is bought for a future mother-in-law. The idea is not new, but it allows you to demonstrate the respect of the future daughter-in-law to the interests of the mother of her chosen one.
An equally useful gift will be cozy warm blanket or bedspread. You can choose the winter-summer option with a detachable top, so that if desired, it will be possible to lighten the plaid or, conversely, make it warmer on cold evenings. When choosing, you can choose the size so that the operation of the product is comfortable. You can buy a blanket with sleeves, which is more comfortable to sit in front of the TV screen with a cup of tea.
If the mother-in-law is “on you” with the Internet, you can give her a tablet so that she does not spoil her eyes while sitting on social networks from a smartphone. At the same time, you can download a lot of useful programs into the technology: from the best recipes to a variety of useful applications for leisure (for example, with crosswords, sudoku and other puzzles).
As for cosmetics, not every mother-in-law will appreciate such a present, because products for a specific age category can emphasize her age or say about skin aging. And this, I must say, not every woman will understand, because it is rare when she agrees that she is already young. In addition, such a gift is commonplace, however, like the purchase of sets for washing hair or towels for the shower.
You can not guess with the preferences of a woman, but because the present may turn out to be useless.
There are situations when they suggest that it is better to buy and give a mother-in-law. For example, if she pays a lot of attention to needlework, she sews, but she’s broken sewing machine, you can give a new one by asking what company the husband’s mother prefers. The gift, of course, is not cheap, but it will be remembered for a long time. If there is a sewing machine, but there is no overlock, it is better to take it in order to improve the quality of sewing, because no zigzag can be compared with a professional sewing stitch.
Sometimes I want to give something from clothes. In this case, it is difficult to guess how this or that product will sit on the figure, but if you want to make just such a gift, you should opt for tunic-type blouses. They are elastic, do not fit the figure, not too long, but not short either.
To guess the size, you can take a similar thing from the closet and select it. But if the daughter-in-law and her son live separately from their parents, you will have to select the present “by eye”.
A gift for the former mother-in-law depends on the relationship that has survived after the divorce. It happens that she remains a close person, but because she is bought all the best, as a mother. Can give delicious cake, spend time with grandchildren, present a lot of useful little things, when looking at which the former mother-in-law will rejoice in the soul.
You can go to a concert togetherso that you have more topics for communication that will remain in your memory. On the eve of the New Year you can make a pleasant surprise gifts in the form of Christmas socks, where grandchildren will be able to put gifts for their grandmother before the holiday. At the same time, both daughter-in-law and children can take part in the creation of such socks.
The best gift for the New Year can be an album with photos of family members.
If you have a mini printer at home, you can fill the album during the celebration, complementing the photos with wishes from all family members. Believe me, such a gift will be special and sincere for the mother-in-law.
