If a woman is fond of gardening, you can give her seeds, elegant containers for seedlings and flowers, garden accessories.A universal choice is roses, but the minus of all kinds of plant exotics is the possibility of causing an allergic reaction, so this choice must be approached with all care.

• Sweets, tea and coffee... An excellent reason to try new varieties and even order products from other countries - this will both delight and broaden your horizons. A basket of different fruits will come in handy for the anniversary in the cold season.

• Books. It can be not only fiction, but also a variety of self-instruction manuals. Cookbooks, books about handicrafts, about cars (if the mother-in-law has her own car), textbooks on foreign languages, travel guides to different countries and cities, history and art.

• Hobby materials... Usually the whole family knows about the existence of a constant hobby. If it is sewing, embroidery or knitting, yarn, sets and machines for embroidery, fabrics, threads, a new sewing machine are well suited for a gift. You will like craft paper and paper for quilling, professional scissors for cutting, expensive paints, brushes and easels, a set for coloring by color or antistress coloring.

• Dishes, furniture and cozy things for the kitchen and home. It can be a service (new or even antique), cutlery, paintings, a set of bedding, a blanket, a tablecloth, curtains, decorative pillows - the choice is limitless, and you can rely on the general style of the home interior. A hero of the day may dream of updating some pieces of furniture - then a new sofa, table, chairs, bed or wardrobe will do. The donation of large items should be discussed in advance, it's okay if there is no surprise: the significance of the gift is already quite high.

• Appliances... Toaster, telephone, multicooker, food processor, blender, vacuum cleaner, floor lamp or table lamp, TV or home theater, laptop or tablet, devices for purifying and humidifying the air - usually such gifts are received with joy and are in demand on the farm. A pleasant and useful supplement to this gift will be a training master class. After all, pensioners often put aside the donated household appliances due to a simple fear of not understanding the controls.

Even deeply elderly ladies should not be denied the desire and opportunity to be beautiful. To show that you care, you can give your mother-in-law a set of cosmetics for her birthday: on the packaging of the product, you can find the designation of the age for which it was created. Perfect for:

• night and day face cream, foot, hand and nail creams;
• masks and scrubs;
• shower gels and body oils with exquisite fragrances;
• Handmade soap;
• shampoos and hair conditioners (it is useful to make a choice in favor of professional products - often retirees do not try them on their own);
• a certificate for completing a course of beauty treatments or massage in a conveniently located beauty salon.

When choosing a perfume, you can consult with your wife and "spy" on occasion, which the mother-in-law herself uses. If you request information about her perfume on the Internet, you can compare the scent pyramid with other perfumes and select similar ones. So the risk of not hitting the mark will decrease, and the mother-in-law will try a new scent. A gift certificate to a branded perfume shop is also a good option.

These gifts have one significant drawback - the possible prejudice of the hero of the day.

A lot of joy is brought not only by items that can be put on a shelf or used in everyday life.To liven up everyday life, you should give an impression on the anniversary - these emotions will be remembered for a long time. It might be a great idea professional family photo session, she will not only bring her relatives closer, but also leave memorable photos in the archive. The whole family, under the guidance of the hero of the day, can go to a shopping and entertainment center, take part in quests, watch a movie, and look into the most cozy cafes.

The benefits of engaging in new activities are undeniable, and certificates for attending master classes (handicrafts, painting, cooking) or language courses can be a gift for your beloved mother-in-law. Perhaps my mother-in-law has long dreamed of learning a specific foreign language, but could not find a company and a suitable time.

The sports center is also a great platform for new experiences. You can give your mother-in-law a subscription for the type of sports activities that are suitable for her age. It can be a subscription to the pool and gym, yoga or gymnastics. If the mother-in-law is inclined to extreme and adventurous, she may be delighted with the presented opportunity to jump with a parachute or direct the launch of the fireworks in her honor.

If the mother-in-law has long dreamed of visiting another country or relaxing at sea in the cold season, the anniversary can be a special occasion for an expensive gift. Another variant - a voucher to a sanatorium, where a loved one can take care of their health and relax.

The classic option is tickets to a concert hall, theater, museum or art gallery... It is better to buy a ticket for two persons, so that your beloved mother-in-law does not have to go for impressions alone.

Perhaps the birthday girl does not believe in omens and will be delighted with any gift. But many representatives of the older generations listen to the "folk wisdom" - an inappropriate present can ruin the mood on a holiday and make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, we will consider the most common options for unsuccessful gifts.

• Watch... This gift was initially considered undesirable for lovers and married couples, but the belief has moved into the field of gifts for everyone. Stopping the clock is associated with the end of a relationship, and such an interpretation is unlikely to bring positive emotions.
• Handkerchiefs. It's simple: a person will have to shed many tears, and they may not turn out to be tears of joy.
• Mirror. Many people believe that mirrors are capable of accumulating negative energy, so the choice of this household item is left exclusively to themselves.
• Home slippers and other footwear... This omen is associated with parting - it is as if a person dresses and sees off the person being gifted from his life.
• Tablecloths and towels. For superstitious people, they are associated with quarrels and family problems.
• Comb. Like a mirror, this object is credited with the ability to remember information about a person. Keeping in touch with the donor, the comb will convey all the secrets to the ill-wisher.
• Knives, forks. Like any piercing and cutting devices, these kitchen utensils can be associated with threat and negativity.

The only way not to step on the "superstitious rake" is to find out in advance about a person's attitude to signs.

If you are sensitive to your mother-in-law's preferences and lifestyle, the gift will surely please the birthday girl.
