USINFO | 2013-09-10 14:49

In the past the bride and groom were the sole centers of attention at a wedding and the only ones who received gifts. These days, it seems everyone at the wedding is supposed to get a gift of some sort, including the new mother-in-law. While this could lead to bad jokes about straitjackets or one-way tickets, there are some sweet gift choices that can show her how you really feel.

Locket
  • Choose a quality silver locket and have it professionally engraved with a message to your new mother-in-law. The message can say something about how grateful you are to be a part of her family, or it can express how happy you are to be marrying her child.
  •  
Leather-Bound Scrapbook
  • At any wedding, photos are a must. Like you, your mother-in-law is going to want her share of the memories. A beautiful leather-bound scrapbook will give her a special place to keep them,. Have it engraved with your name and your spouse's and the date of the wedding.
  •  
Perfumes or Chocolates
  • Ask some of her friends what some of her favorites perfumes are and give her a goody bag filled with them. You could add some makeup or pricey lotions to the bag as well. Alternatively, if your mother-in-law happens to have a sweet tooth, a box of fine imported chocolates would be a delicious and welcome surprise.
  •  
Entertainment
  • After the stress and excitement of the wedding, your new mother-in-law might want to have some fun relaxing with friends. If there is a play or a movie nearby that you think she would love to see, several tickets for her and a group of friends would make an excellent choice for a gift. A less expensive choice would be a set of music CDs featuring her favorite artists.
