There are many anecdotes about the relationship between daughters-in-law and mother-in-law. They are formed in different ways, but no one canceled the holidays, and no matter how you treat your daughter-in-law, she is already part of your family, and you still have to make gifts.
What you don't need to give your daughter-in-law
It is very difficult, without communicating closely, to guess with a gift to a daughter-in-law. Especially if your choice fell on jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes and the like. Therefore, if you are unsure, it is best not to risk it. There are many other things. Clothes: skirts, dresses, blouses, too, put aside, guessing the size and taste is not easy.
What can you give your daughter-in-law
You can make a mistake with a gift by choosing household items. Here you need to choose what is suitable for the style of your daughter-in-law's house. Quality items will always come in handy. Remember one more rule, which says that the gift should not be cheap.
It is better to give one beautiful potholder than a set of low-quality kitchen towels, you will spend about the same money to buy both.
Bed linen, kitchen and bath towels, potholders, napkins - all this can be given as a gift, both by buying in the store or by doing it yourself. If you do not know at all what to give, a modern form of presentation - a certificate - will come to your rescue. Choose a store, buy a beautiful card there and give it to your daughter-in-law. And what to spend it on, she will decide for herself. This is, indeed, a very convenient option.
It is very easy to choose a gift if the gifted person has a hobby. Then you can head to a specialized store according to the daughter-in-law's hobby profile. But be careful, people who have been passionate about something for a long time are usually very well versed in their paraphernalia, and they already have most of the tools and devices, so it is better to donate consumables.
Another good option is that you can give your daughter-in-law a new hobby. Try to choose an initial kit, for example, scrapbooking or embroidery accessories, perhaps the girl will like such a gift and she will seriously take a great interest in it.
Remember that gifts can be more than material. The best present for a young mother from a sister-in-law, mother-in-law or other relatives of her husband will be free time. Let your daughter-in-law go for a walk, go to your friends, sit in a cafe, while you yourself sit with your grandchildren.
The daughter-in-law will appreciate such a gift and will certainly be very grateful to you.
You can not choose a gift alone, but involve your son in this activity. He probably knows his wife very well and will help you with the choice, or maybe he will tell you something that you have not even thought about. After all, two heads are better than one. In any case, a gift is always a pleasure. Do not be afraid that the daughter-in-law will be meticulous about the present, because all people value attention, and not just material values.
