Help! What do I get my Future Mother In Law for her B-day!!!

[IndiBlue]

I need help! I have no idea what to get my FMIL for her birthday on Friday!

I want to get her something meaningful! She''s give me an heirloom stone for my engagment ring and I want to get her something that signifies just how much I appriciate her.

I can''t spend more then $75-100, Jewelery is fine....Any suggestions?

Does she wear pins? Swarovski makes some beautiful ones in your price range. I''ve gotten them for my own mother in the past. Then there''s Lois Hill if she likes sterling silver, or Judith Jack... Have you seen the thread on jewelry storage? There are lots of great examples of beautiful jewelry boxes on that one.

Hi Indiblue,

If you really want to get her something that would be meaningful how about:

Buying a collection of beautiful picture frames and then take some candid shots of her son, pick the best one, have some candid photo's taken of you, pick the best one, and then of course, candid shots of the two of you together, pick the best one, or have some taken of you and her together, and wrap them up with pretty paper and bows, instead of a card, you could give her a poem that you have re-written on pretty paper ... one that talks about maybe a mother's unconditional love .... and then tell her how much you appreciate the fact that she did an excellent job raising her son and teaching him how to love, and that if it wasn't for her love, support etc... You can make it as sappy as you want. Or, find a poem about friendship, and describe how your friendship with her is just blossoming, and that your hoping over time that your friendship with her will blossom into a beautiful rainbow of cherished memories, etc...

Sometimes, we want to buy someone something so special, that we often overlook the simple, uncomplicated gift of ... Love

. It doesn't have to be expensive to have meaning.

You will know your FMIL better than I, or , ask your FH, does she like gardening ... perhaps you could do up a basket of lovely things that included pics, just in a floral theme.

The other thing I think is special, is to hand write out a pretty invitation and take her out for lunch. Just the two of you. Maybe go out to lunch and do something afterwards together.

Hope this helps,
