Perfume

Invest in her collection of rich scents: the kind of scent that makes peoples’ heads turn when she walks past. No, she isn’t too old to entice her husband so go for classics like Chanel No. 5 or Flower by Kenzo depending on your budget.

 

Newlywed with no idea of what to gift your mother-in-law with this holiday?
Or have you just run out of ideas for your spouse’s dear mother? New Year
is almost here, and you can still impress your mother-in-law with these
gift ideas. Even last minute gift buyers here (clears throat and points
fingers) will find something amazing for mother-in-law. This also works for
birthdays and no-reason-but-love gifts, so you’ll find this useful all year
round.



Home Fragrances

Holiday fragrances feature distinct notes of cinnamon, spice, rum and
pumpkin. This could be in the form of scented candles or diffuser sets.
Mothers tend to appreciate any gift for the home as they are one step
closer to making their homes more welcoming.

Surprise in a Card

Special Dish

If you have a flair for experimenting and preparing new dishes, you can incorporate that into a special soup or casserole for your mother-in-law.



Selection of Teas

Prepare a collection of breakfast, calming and revitalising teas if she is a tea lover; a cup a day calms the nerves and keeps the doctor away.
