What to give a mother-in-law for the New Year?

New Year is one of the family holidays, giving all household members 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 decide on the best presentation idea.

It is no secret that the gift that is planned to be given to the mother-in-law will be appreciated from all sides. In order not to lose face and not offend my husband's mother, you need to take into account her interests, because the gift should be liked, even if a symbolic option is chosen. It is not at all necessary to try to surprise a woman with an expensive present, because with each new gift more may be expected from you. You can focus on the unusual idea and concern.

For example, if the husband's mother loves needlework, but due to old age does not see well, no need to give her an embroidery kit. It will be more pleasant for her 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 dwelling. In addition, a hand-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 with her mother-in-law. If the relationship is formal and not quite warm, you should not resort to creativity, which can be regarded as some kind of trick. 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.

When looking at gift ideas, consider how you feel about yourself. If the mother-in-law accepts the daughter-in-law as a daughter, you can give her what you give your mother. Pay attention to the status of women in society. Someone likes expensive French perfumes, others value handmade products more. Still others like unusual surprise gifts.

It can be either 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 frying pan is far from the best option, because the mother-in-law can understand the gift as the phrase “your place is in the kitchen”.

If the mother-in-law loves to cook, you can give her some household appliances that facilitate the process. Such a present will make a woman's stay in the kitchen more comfortable, reducing her labor costs for cooking culinary delights.

If the husband's mother attaches particular importance to making tea, you can please her by buying a special device for brewing tea and coffee, which is called a French press. In addition to these drinks, she will be able to brew aromatic herbs in it. It is unlikely that she will buy this for herself, but the gift will definitely 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.

If the relationship is warm, you can take care of your mother-in-law's health by giving her subscription for massage. She will definitely like these procedures, which will strengthen the relationship and improve the opinion of you. A lot of pleasant emotions can give certificate to the spa, where the mother-in-law can independently choose the best procedure for herself. If you have finances, you can donate a ticket to a rest house, where a woman can improve her health.

Maybe the voucher will be for two, and therefore will have to ask the father-in-law. In addition, when choosing a gift with a set of cosmetic procedures, you need to consider whether a woman will be able to go for a specific procedure, whether it is possible for her for health reasons.

If the mother-in-law takes care of herself, you can give her professional salon manicure... Rarely does a woman refuse 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 the manicure at home, you can give her a set of cosmetic products for covering and drying nails, which are used in the salon. It will not cost so much, but will be remembered for a long time.

Based on the interests of the mother-in-law and her lifestyle, you 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 can be:

• special orthopedic pillow to relieve back and neck pain;
• a blanket with a heating option so that my husband's mother can warm up in a comfortable armchair while reading books or watching your favorite TV show;
• massage chair, thanks to which it will be possible to relieve muscle tension and relax the body;
• a robotic pillow that improves sleep, adapts to breathing and simulates dawn;
• smart scales for food, if the mother-in-law carefully monitors the diet;
• transparent toaster, in which the degree of readiness of toasts will be visible;
• smart watch-alarm clock, simulating dawn and having the option of choosing a melody for waking 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;
• bio fireplace or salt lamp to relax before bed;
• vibro-massage chair cover, through which a woman can relax the muscles of the body;
• a tablet or smartphone so that the mother-in-law can communicate more often with her daughter-in-law and son.

For example, an original gift can be a festive dinner at a restaurant or a trip for two (mother-in-law and father-in-law) to the city of their youth or a certain significant place for them. Someone can afford to give their mother-in-law a hot air balloon ride or a horse ride. An e-book can be a good gift.

However, when choosing a gift, it is important to take into account the fact that one should 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 resorts to such non-standard solutions as buying a master class in Argentine tango.

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 the New Year. For example, it can be a bonsai tree or even some kind of souvenir. However, today we are accustomed to the fact that gifts should be useful. Therefore, it is better to choose, although an inexpensive solution, something that can be used in everyday life or is useful for decorating a home.

For example, you can pre-order manufacturing family portrait in the form of photo printing on wood or plates. It can be hung on the wall, giving the interior a special touch. Looking at a portrait or a family picture, a woman will think about the pleasant, these thoughts will be associated with her daughter-in-law.

Symbolic but useful gifts can be iron, blender, water filter. Other solutions include a bedding set, which is both inexpensive and never superfluous. However, when choosing here, you need to look at the quality of the material, as well as its colors. For example, you can choose an option with a themed print, timed to coincide with the New Year's holidays. In this case, it will be superfluous to take into account the color scheme, which should relax and tune in to positive thoughts.

For that matter, present sweets by ordering a set in the form of unusual sweets... Or you can make sweets yourself. These can be gingerbread cookies in unusual individual packages.

Can be donated set of scarf and gloveswrapping it in pretty wrapping paper. Paying attention to how bag mother-in-law walks, give her a new and high-quality one. If she doesn't have wallet, choose such that it is convenient for a woman to use it. If she wears glasses, you can give her new and modern ones, paying attention to the diopters and other necessary parameters.

You can give your beloved mother-in-law a lot of things that are 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 also donate a curling iron, as well as a visit to a professional stylist... Rarely does a woman give up 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, taking into account her preferences in the subject of works and the choice of authors.

An equally useful gift will be cozy warm blanket or bedspread. You can choose a winter-summer option with a detachable top, so that, if you wish, you can lighten the blanket 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 also buy a blanket with sleeves, in which it is more comfortable to sit in front of the TV screen with a cup of tea.

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 tell about skin aging. And this, I must say, not every woman will understand, because rarely when she agrees that she is no longer young. In addition, such a gift is trivial, however, as is the purchase of sets for washing hair or towels for the shower.

There are situations when it is they who suggest what exactly is better to buy and give to the mother-in-law. For example, if she pays a lot of attention to needlework, sews, but her sewing machine, you can donate a new one by asking which company your husband's mother prefers. The gift, of course, is not cheap, but it will be remembered for a long time. If you have a sewing machine, but there is no overlock, it is better to take it to improve the quality of sewing, because no zigzag can compare with a professional overlock stitch.

Sometimes you want to give something from clothes... In this case, it is difficult to guess how this or that product will fit 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.

A gift for a former mother-in-law depends on the relationship that has survived after the divorce. It happens that she remains a close person, and therefore they buy all the best for her, like a mother. Can be donated delicious cake, spend time with grandchildren, present a lot of useful little things, at the sight of which the soul of the former mother-in-law will rejoice.

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 pleasant surprise gifts in the form of Christmas socks, where grandchildren will be able to put gifts for their grandmother before the holiday begins. At the same time, both the daughter-in-law and the children can take part in the creation of such socks.

If you have a mini printer at home, you can fill the album in the process of 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.
