What to give your husband's parents for the New Year?

New Year is a wonderful occasion for the whole family to gather at the festive table. This magical night involves miracles, joy of loved ones and 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.

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 both easy and difficult to choose a common 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 please both the mother-in-law and the father-in-law alike.

In this case, several important points should be taken into account:

• the age of the spouses;
• their financial situation;
• their hobbies, tastes.

Depending on this, you can decide whether the gift will be practical or aimed at receiving enthusiastic emotions. So, let's take a look at some great options for New Year's surprises.

• Symbolic presents... Traditionally, souvenirs with the symbol of the year are presented for such a holiday. But it doesn't have to be a figurine or a useless fridge magnet. You can find a 3D themed bedding set, decorative cushions, or a fluffy blanket. Such a surprise will be equally beautiful and useful.
• Comfort items. There are many things that can bring harmony and comfort to your home. It 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 in a unique way. Theater tickets will appeal to an intelligent couple. Dinner for two in the restaurant will be a great 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 outdoors and improve your health. A tour to a warm country will delight any couple. And the most active spouses who love adventure can be offered a hot air balloon flight.
• Gifts for health. If the husband's parents are already in adulthood, you can give them something useful. Orthopedic pillows, a humidifier or air ionizer, massage chair covers and other such items will show your spouses how much you care for them.
• Appliances. A multicooker, juicer, bread machine or automatic vegetable cutter can be an excellent present, but only if the husband's parents themselves want to purchase such a unit, but for some reason cannot do it. If you are not sure whether this item will be useful in the household, it is better to choose something else.
• For giving. If the spouses spend a lot of time on the garden plot, a set of plastic furniture, sun loungers, a barbecue or something else that increases the comfort of being in the fresh air will be an appropriate gift.
• Entertaining presents. If your relatives love to sing, give them a karaoke system. Other options are also possible.
• Family portrait from photo... Finding an artist who can create a masterpiece depicting spouses is not difficult today. Such a picture will become a worthy decoration of the living room and a wonderful reminder of your attention to family members.
• DIY gifts. If you're making natural soap yourself, pack a couple of scented pieces nicely. If you are good at the kitchen, you can bake a delicious cake or gingerbread cookies in the shape of snowflakes, make tangerine jam for the festive table. Or you can make a collage of family photos. By the way, a photo album with photos of grandchildren can also be a wonderful holiday present.

If you cannot choose a worthy general gift, you can approach the question taking into account the individuality of each gifted person.

• Hobby items. Inquire about a woman's latest hobbies. Maybe it's knitting, embroidery, scrapbooking, decoupage or something else. Specialized stores offer a large selection of materials for needlewomen.
• Accessories. If you know your mother-in-law's taste well, you can present her with an exquisite stole. A beautiful purse or cosmetic bag will also be a good gift.
• A tea set. If a woman loves tea, you can present her with several types of good tea and a box for storing it.
• Certificate. If the mother-in-law is young and takes care of herself, a certificate to a perfume or cosmetics store will certainly delight her. You should not give any specific funds - 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.

The usual gift set, consisting of shower gel and deodorant, is also unlikely to be received with gratitude.

Household slippers and a bathrobe may delight an elderly woman, but a mother-in-law in her prime will be puzzling. New Year is too magical a holiday for such platitudes. On this day, every woman wants to shine, feel beautiful and elegant.For the same reasons, it is worth removing cookbooks, baking dishes, pots and other such things from the list of ideas.

• Items related to active hobbies. If the father-in-law is an avid fisherman, he will like the elements of the corresponding equipment. A thermos and a kettle will also be appropriate. If he is fond of 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.
• Home hobby presentations. An e-book is a great gift for a literature lover. If a man is conservative, a collection of paper books on topics of interest to him will delight him.
• A useful certificate. A subscription for 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 presented with an electronic pill box. The device will not allow him to forget about taking medications.
• Accessories. A youthful father-in-law will love 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 shaving set, which is already becoming a topic for jokes. Power tools and auto parts are items that are strange to accept from a woman, even if she accidentally guessed the right choice.

Gift options for the husband's parents can be very different. A short video review will complement the list of presentations.
