What to get her?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
So I've started thinking about my Christmas shopping. I really want to get my MIL something special, but I have no idea what. She likes teddy bears, but I know FIL and SIL are both getting her teddy bear stuff. I'd kinda like to do something different. I had an idea this morning, but then after all the stress with my son this afternoon, I can't remember what it was. I just want it to be really special cuz she has done so much for me. She's always there when I need someone to vent to, is always willing to whatever whenever we need anything. When I'm stressed out or anxious aboput anything, she is the most calming person I know. She just always seems to know just what I need to help me calm myself. I have Bi polar, and the mood swings can be awful sometimes, but she always knows how to bring me out of it. She's just really great, and I love her to death. I've got everyone elses gifts pretty much decided but I just can't come up with anything for her. Any ideas?

Try thinking along these lines:
What is something she would love to do, but would never treat herself? Like a day at the spa or a mani/pedi or something.

Where is someplace she would love to go, but wouldn't splurge ordinarily? Like a special restaurant or something. (For example, my MIL LOVES Emeril, and we now have an Emeril's in Atlanta, so as a special treat, because she is so good to us, we are going to take her there. She would never go otherwise.)

What is something she would love to have but would not buy for herself? Like a nice bottle of perfume, a cashmere sweater, nice earrings, or whatever.

If she likes jewellery maybe teddy bear ear rings and a necklace.

I agree with Maree. If money is tight, you can definitely find her some nice things at the free jewelry site. I love hearts and they have tons of stuff with hearts.
