last year I bought my MIL a photo set, the boxes all stacked into each other...

she has lots of photo's around her place... and I have never seen it up yet... hmmm

This year I asked DH what we should get her, and suggested as a joke a mitre 10 gift voucher... which he jumped at and thought it was a great idea!

10 mins later he says... what did we get her for her birthday and last christmas... and I said.... drumroll......

"A MITRE 10 GIFT VOUCHER!"

LOLZ

We bought MIL a hand blown champagne flute with a turtle pattern, from a local gallery. Very elegant and unique (she loves turtles). We probably should have bought two? Oh well, she lives alone....And a bottle of lemon myrtle body wash.....

I got MIL a beautiful Royal Doulton Nativity Set..... So hard to get a woman a gift who already has everything! She loves that sort of stuff, so I'm sure it will be a win.

sounds lovely, what does lemon myrtle smell like? (I've never heard of it before )

Lemon Myrtle is an Australian native rainforest tree. It has a lemony scent (surprise, surprise!) but is more fruity and fresh than citrusy...I find it hard to describe smells...I just know if I like them or not!

MIL wants money in a card to go towards a nice big thing she wants, so we are putting $50 in a card for the both of them

Sounds lovely, I'm a bit like you, hard to describe them! lol

Might have to have a look see if I can find some, might be a nice change

Thanks for the idea

I got my MIL and GMIL a hand painted pot each with Grandma and Nan on them, that's what the kids call them. They're also getting a couple of photos.

I haven't bought them presents in years because they are serial re-gifters and I've lost count of all the presents we've gotten back the year after we've given them. I figured they can't give me back pots that say nan or grandma. Well not for a very long time anyway

[Daydream Believer]

Photo coasters with pics of the kids

[YoYo]

I got her the Maggie Beer cookbook....big huge one that I've always wantd to get for her. Also some photos of the kids so she can put them into frames of HER choice!

[Astrolady]

My MIL seems to hate everything I buy for them inc $160 worth of family portraits that we gave them one year. She wanted her darling son to do an Astronomy Star Trail for xmas So now I just give them food.
