What to give your daughter-in-law for the New Year?
On New Year's holidays, I would like to please all family members with good gifts. When a son brings a girl home, she begins to be perceived as a daughter-in-law. It's great when the relationship immediately develops well, and the young girl becomes a member of the family. If it didn't work out right away, then the mother-in-law should approach the matter wisely.
With the help of a presentation, you can melt the ice in a relationship, because any daughter-in-law will be glad to receive attention from her husband's parents. In the article we will tell you what you can give your daughter-in-law for the New Year, and give useful advice on choosing.
How to choose?
If young people are still at the stage of relationships, but the son is serious, the girl is automatically perceived as a future bride, so there must be a gift for her as well. Try to make a pleasant and original surprise that will help her quickly integrate into the family.... Since you still do not know her preferences too well, ask your son for advice, because he, too, should be interested in a comfortable atmosphere between the parents and the girl.
If the young are already married, then picking up a present will not be difficult, especially if you are disposed to each other and have managed to study the addictions of the young wife. The gift may be related to a hobby, hobby, or something useful for the home... When you hand over your present, try to put your soul and kind energy into the transfer, be sure to hug and kiss the girl, because she is your son's wife. By the way, the brother's wife is also called the daughter-in-law, so the sister will also need to take care of the gift.
If you are about the same age, choosing a gift will not bother you at all, because peers often have the same tastes.
Among the variety of items offered by stores, there is a category that is best avoided. At first, you might think that the present is useful and necessary, however, from the side of the daughter-in-law, it may look different. These items include cosmetics and hygiene products. These are too personal items, so you should not choose them. The same goes for underwear, tights or stockings. Clothing is another gift that adds to the list of taboo gifts. No matter how hard you try, it is unlikely that you will be able to accurately guess the girl's preferences. If you know that the son's bride is going to buy one of the above, it is recommended to purchase a gift certificate for her in this store.
Perhaps another category of gifts that will not please young people in any way are gifts with hints. Of course, every mother wants to become a grandmother, and looks forward to the birth of grandchildren in the family of her children. However, if the husband and wife decided to postpone this event, then the mother-in-law will only have to accept and wait. Sad sighs and stories about children of neighbors annoy no less than gifts in the form of children's accessories with the words "for the future" and other similar things.
Practical gifts for the home
If the couple is married and has been living together for a long time, the daughter-in-law will certainly thank the mother-in-law for useful gifts for the home.
- Appliances... A new kettle, microwave oven or multicooker will never be superfluous in the house. Try to pay attention to the technique you already have and donate something new. For example, if the son's wife is trying to stick to the right diet, she will definitely be happy with the steamer. If a girl works and does not always have time to cook delicious dishes, she will be glad to have such an assistant as a slow cooker.
- Dishes... Beautiful tableware is a versatile New Year's present. Choose from a sophisticated complete set for six, including small and large plates, round and oval platter, and soup dishes. A tea set with cups, saucers and jam rosettes is a great idea. Modern shops offer a wide range of tableware, among which there is sure to be something for your daughter-in-law. If it is not possible to give a whole set, you can present a salad bowl, a decanter or cutlery.
- Linens. Another useful gift for the home that will be welcome. No matter how trite it may be, a good set of bedding will appeal to every housewife. Try to choose something classic, delicate shades to please your daughter-in-law. Instead of a set, you can choose a beautiful bedspread or blanket for the bed, which will fit into the interior of the bedroom and refresh it.
- Indoor plant. If the son's wife is fond of floriculture or loves to decorate the apartment with flowers, a beautiful houseplant that will complement the collection will be the best present. It is not recommended to give a cactus, especially for the New Year. Better to buy orchids of domestic varieties, gardenias, Kalanchoe, roses, geraniums or begonias.
- Home decor elements. This category includes paintings, table or floor vases and lamps, and clocks. Try to select items so that they are in harmony with the interior of the apartment of the young. A neutral option would be a painting with a landscape or still life, or a painted flower vase. Take one of your favorite photos of your daughter-in-law, print it on canvas, insert it into a beautiful frame and present it to the young people. Rest assured that they will be delighted.
Classic presents
There are a number of gifts to please any girl.
- A tea set. Many people like to try different varieties of tea, and if the daughter-in-law is one of them, present her with a set with different varieties, preferably rare, for the New Year. May be complemented with a Chinese tea set, consisting of a small earthenware teapot with a cup.
- Decoration... On New Year's holidays, you can present jewelry to your daughter-in-law. If the young people are already officially dating, but the girl is still in the role of the bride, you can give her a silver ring with cubic zirconia or zircons or expensive jewelry. The son's wife is already worthy of higher ranked jewelers. A beautiful gold ring, earrings with a small diamond or a chain with a pendant will delight the daughter-in-law. If you have developed a very warm and close relationship, and the couple has been married for a long time, the mother-in-law will do the daughter-in-law a great honor if she gives an expensive piece of jewelry that is passed down from generation to generation in the family. Usually these are jewelry made of gold of high standard, with large stones. Explain to the girl the value of this product for your family, she will certainly be flattered by such a gesture.
- Theater tickets. Tickets for a joint trip to the theater will be an excellent choice for a poetic nature who loves a live performance of their favorite novels, rather than a movie. After visiting the theater, you can go to a cafe and chat.
- Creative gifts. In their free time, many married ladies are engaged in creativity. An original idea will be a set for embroidery with canvas and threads, diamond embroidery, where drawings are made of small stones, as well as paintings by numbers, which will allow you to create real masterpieces. Order a painting with a photo of the family, and let the wife enjoy the creation of her own hand.
- Certificate for visiting the SPA-salon. An ideal option, especially for a working woman, which will allow her to relax and have real pleasure at the weekend. A variety of massages, body wraps, solarium and other procedures will significantly improve your mood and will definitely improve the relationship between your daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.
For two
After the marriage, the son and daughter-in-law became one whole, a real family, therefore a gift can be made for both at once.
- Vacation package. If possible, present the young people with a trip to the sea or to Europe. Your gift will be highly appreciated. Every day the son's wife will remember her good mother-in-law and rejoice that she was lucky enough to have one.
- Tasty pie. A cake prepared by your beloved mother will be the best gift. It will be in addition to the main presentation. Prepare your son and daughter-in-law's favorite cake and bring them home on New Year's. A delicious tea party will be provided.
- Pair photo session... Many women want to film with their beloved husband in a professional studio, with good makeup and hair, and in a beautiful dress. Unfortunately, not everyone succeeds in convincing their spouse to take this step. But the gift from the mother will certainly be accepted with great pleasure, the daughter-in-law will receive the desired photoset, and the photographs will remind her husband's beloved mother.
- Paired items. These are inexpensive items that are used every day: cups, T-shirts, slippers with funny inscriptions and pictures. Many photo studios offer to order any item with a photograph of the customer. Buy wall clocks, puzzles and other items with a joint photo for your son's family. You can present bathrobes for two with gold or silver embroidery. This is a very solid gift. A name or any other inscription associated with a person is embroidered on the back, and a crown or a flower on top. For example, you can order two robes, one of which will be embroidered with "beloved son", on the other - "beloved daughter-in-law." It all depends on your imagination.
- Board game. A great budget option for a New Year's gift. Buy the game "Crocodile" or "Monopoly", let the young spend the evenings together or with friends, playing interesting games.
Whatever gift you choose for your daughter-in-law, remember that it must be presented with soul and love. The daughter-in-law is not just the son's wife, but your daughter, who must be accepted accordingly.
It will be much easier for a son if the relationship between his mother and wife is friendly and pleasant.
