The New Year is one of the family holidays, giving all households 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 of this article will help readers find useful information and decide on the best presentation idea.
The nuances of choice
It is not a secret that a gift that is planned to be presented to mother-in-law will be appreciated from all sides. In order not to lose face and not to hurt her husband's mother, you need to take into account its interests, because the gift should be like, even if a symbolic option is chosen. It is not necessary to try to surprise a woman with a costly gift, because with each new gift you can expect more from you. You can focus on the unusual ideas and care.
It is necessary to take into account the health and age of the mother-in-law, correlating the present with her lifestyle and interests.
For example, if her husband's mother loves needlework, but because of old age she sees ill, no need to give her a set for embroidery. She will be more pleased to receive as a gift an already finished embroidered picture with a harmonious pattern, with which she will be able to decorate one of the rooms of the dwelling. In addition, the handmade product will indicate care, which is important for any mother.
The choice of a gift will depend on the proximity of the daughter-in-law with the mother-in-law. If the relationship is formal and not very warm, you should not resort to creativity, which can be assessed as some kind of hoof. Give something that can be useful in everyday life, but will not cause negative emotions. For example, between a set and a set of knives (or a frying pan) it is better to prefer the first option.
Turning ideas of gifts, consider the attitude to yourself. If the mother-in-law accepts the daughter-in-law as a daughter, you can give her what you give to your mother. Pay attention to the status of women in society. Someone likes expensive French perfume, others more value products made with their own hands. Third like unusual gifts, surprises.
This can be 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 pan is far from the best option, because the mother-in-law can understand the gift as the phrase "your place in the kitchen."
Of course, someone likes the dishes, but you need to pick up such gifts if the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law have a relationship of trust.
New Year Gift Ideas
If the mother-in-law loves to cook, you can give her some household appliances to facilitate the process. Such a gift will make a woman's stay in the kitchen more comfortable, reducing her labor costs for cooking culinary delights.
For example, if a woman bakes bread, you can please her with a new bread maker. In this case, you can choose the device that will have options for kneading dough, cooking cakes, jams, as well as other desserts. If the mother-in-law with the daughter-in-law is in good relations, she will be glad to receive such a gift.
If the husband's mother emphasizes the preparation of tea, you can please her by buying special apparatus for brewing tea and coffee, which is called a french press. In addition to these drinks, she will be able to brew scented herbs in it. It is unlikely that she herself will buy this, but the gift will definitely not be ignored.
If a woman is allergic, you can take care of her by giving air ionizer. This gift will be useful and very valuable for the mother of her husband, because she will be able to completely relax, not paying attention to allergies.
The gift is really useful, and it will also be relevant in case of illnesses, making the atmosphere in the house comfortable for all households.
If the relationship is warm, you can take care of the health of the mother-in-law by giving her subscription for massage. She will definitely like these procedures, which will strengthen the relationship and improve the opinion about you. A lot of pleasant emotions can give certificate in the spa, where the mother-in-law will be able to choose the best procedure for himself. If you have money you can donate a trip to a holiday home, where a woman can improve their health.
When choosing the last gift, it is necessary to clarify in advance whether a woman is planning to leave the city these days. Perhaps this will not work because of her plans.
Maybe the voucher will be for two, and therefore you will have to ask the father-in-law. In addition, choosing a gift with a set of cosmetic procedures, you need to consider whether a woman can go for a specific procedure, if she can for health reasons.
If the mother-in-law takes care of herself, you can give her professional salon manicure. Rarely a woman refuses 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 a manicure at home, you can give her a set of cosmetic products to cover and dry nails, which are used in the salon. It will not cost so much, and will be remembered for a long time.
Original Presents
Based on the interests of the mother-in-law and her lifestyle, it is possible to 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, these may be:
- special orthopedic pillow to relieve back and neck pain;
- a blanket with the option of heating so that her husband's mother can warm up in a comfortable chair while reading books or watching a favorite TV show;
- massage chair, through which you can relieve muscle tension and relax the body;
- a robot pillow that improves sleep, adapts to breathing and imitates the dawn;
- smart scales for food, if the mother-in-law carefully monitors food;
- a transparent toaster in which the readiness of toasts will be visible;
- smart alarm clock, imitating the dawn and having the option to select a melody to wake up;
- mug, changing the temperature of the drink, allowing you to maintain a given temperature;
- tickets for her and her father-in-law to the theater or to a concert;
- biofireplace or salt lamp to relax before bedtime;
- vibrating cape on the chair, through which a woman can relax the muscles of the body;
- a tablet or a smartphone so that the mother-in-law can communicate more often with the daughter-in-law and the son.
Choosing one or another option, it is important to consider the budget for the gift, financial position and preferences of the mother-in-law.
For example, an original gift can be gala dinner in a restaurant or a trip for two (mothers-in-law and father-in-law) to the city of their youth or a certain significant place for them. Someone can afford to give her mother-in-law a balloon flight or a horse ride. A good gift can be an e-book.
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 can be double: for her and for him. For example, it may be warm mittens, scarves, body care kits. Someone resorts to such non-standard solutions as the purchase of a master class in Argentine tango.
Symbolic signs of attention
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 some souvenir. However, today we are accustomed to the fact that gifts should be useful. Therefore, it is better to choose, although an inexpensive solution, but something that can be used in everyday life or useful for home decoration.
For example, you can pre-order the manufacture family portrait in the form of photo printing on wood or plates. It can be hung on the wall, giving the interior a special flavor. Looking at the portrait or family picture, the woman will think about the pleasant, these thoughts will be connected with the daughter-in-law.
It is not necessary to order a huge picture, because the price for it will be impressive. If you want to do something special, you can order a family collage in the form of a composition from several photos in frames.
Symbolic but useful gifts can be iron, blender, water filter. Other solutions include a set of bed linen, which is 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 a version with a thematic print, coinciding with the New Year holidays. At the same time, it is useful to take into account the color spectrum, which should relax and tune in to positive thoughts.
You should not give what is not necessary and not useful (for example, fridge magnets, tiny glass figurines). Such gifts are only gathering dust on the shelves, they are quickly forgotten.
If it comes to that, present sweets by ordering a set of unusual candies. And you can make sweets on your own. It can be gingerbread in unusual individual packages.
You can give set of scarf and glovesby wrapping it in beautiful wrapping paper. Drawing attention to which bag mother-in-law walks, give her a new and high-quality. If she doesn't have wallet, select such that it was convenient for woman to use it. If she wears glasses, you can give her a new and modern, drawing attention to the diopter and other necessary parameters.
Useful gifts
Favorite mother-in-law can give a lot of things useful in everyday life. For example, if a woman is used to looking after herself, you can update her styling products by giving her a hairdryer with several modes of operation. You can give and curling as well as visiting a professional stylist. Rarely a woman refuses new experiments and fresh ideas for her image.
A woman who spends a lot of time reading books can be presented on New Year's Eve. the book, given its preferences in the subject of works and the choice of authors.
By the way, this is a good and non-broken idea when a gift is bought for a future mother-in-law. The idea is not new, but it allows you to demonstrate the respect of the future daughter in law to the interests of the mother of her chosen one.
Not less useful gift will be cozy warm blanket or blanket. You can choose the winter-summer option with a detachable top, so that if you wish, you can ease the blanket or, conversely, make it warmer in cold evenings. When choosing, you can choose the size so that the operation of the product is comfortable. You can buy a blanket with sleeves, in which it is more cozy to sit in front of the TV screen with a cup of tea.
If the mother-in-law is “on you” with the Internet, you can give her a tablet so that she does not spoil her eyes while sitting in social networks from a smartphone. At the same time, you can download a lot of useful programs into the technique: from the best recipes to various useful leisure applications (for example, with crosswords, sudoku and other puzzles).
As for cosmetics, not every mother-in-law will appreciate such a gift, because products for a specific age category can emphasize its age or tell about aging skin. And this, I must say, not every woman will understand, because it is rare when she agrees that she is no longer young. In addition, this gift is banal, however, as the purchase of sets for washing hair or towels for the shower.
You can not guess the preferences of women, but because the gift may be useless.
There are situations when it is they who suggest what exactly is better to buy and donate to mother-in-law. For example, if she pays a lot of attention to needlework, she sews, but she has broken sewing machine, you can give a new one, asking what company my husband's mother prefers. The gift, of course, is not cheap, but it will be remembered for a long time. If there is a sewing machine, but there is no overlock, it is better to take it to improve the quality of sewing, because no zigzag can be compared with a professional obmetochny line.
Sometimes you want to give something from clothes. In this case, it is difficult to guess how this or that product will sit on the figure, but if you want to make just such a gift, you should stop the choice on tunic-type blouses. They are elastic, not tight-fitting, not too long, but not short.
To guess the size, you can take such a thing from the closet and choose according to it. But if the daughter-in-law and the son live separately from their parents, they will have to pick up the gift “by eye”.
The gift for the former mother-in-law depends on the relationship that has survived after the divorce. It happens that she remains a close person, and therefore she buys the very best, like her own mother. You can give delicious cake, spend time with grandchildren, present a lot of useful trifles, when looking at which the former mother-in-law will rejoice in the soul.
You can go to the concert togetherso that you have more topics for communication that will remain in the memory. On the eve of the New Year you can make nice surprise gifts in the form of Christmas socks, where the grandchildren before the holiday will be able to fold gifts for the grandmother. At the same time, the daughter-in-law and children can take part in the creation of such socks.
The best gift for the New Year can be an album with photos of family members.
If you have a mini printer at home, you can to fill the album in the process of celebration, complementing the photos with wishes from all family members. Believe me, this gift will be special and sincere for the mother-in-law.
