Holiday Gift Guide: Mom/Mother-in-Law

Last week on Instagram I asked who y’all needed help finding a Christmas gift for the most, and hands down my most requested gift guide was for mother-in-laws. I know mothers-in-law can sometimes be hard to shop for… you want to find just the right thing that’s special and classic, just like her. Below, I’ve put together more than 20 intentional and thoughtful ideas that I hope are helpful! Most everything is between $25-75, some are personalized and will require a little extra time (which is why I’m sharing now) and several of them can be conveniently shopped from Amazon. From pampering products to heartfelt accessories to practical daily usage items, I hope you’ll find some good ideas your mom/mother-in-law!

1. Classic Button Down Shirt: These are the best fitting, super comfortable and well made button downs. Meghan Markle is a big fan of this designer so they’re royal approved!
2. Framed Photo: Every mom’s favorite gift is photos of her kiddos. Beautiful frame with lots of size options.
3. Birthstone Necklace: This was on last year’s Christmas gift guide and I still believe she will LOVE this! A one-of-a-kind, personalized hand stamped cascade necklace that features the birthstones of her children or grandchildren.
4. Jewelry Pouch: You cannot go wrong with a gift from Cuyana. This jewelry case is so elegant.
5. Custom Ginger Jars: For your timeless mother-in-law! These ginger jars are so stunning and come in a variety of colors and sizes (I’m of partial to the blush pink and soft blue). There’s even an option to add a custom monogram. 
6. Healthy Cookbook: I love following cousins Jill and Tori on Instagram and have been excited for the launch of their new cookbook. Includes over 100 heart-warming recipes–from breakfasts, soups, salads, veggies, sides, and mains to snacks, appetizers, drinks, and desserts
7. Seagrass Wrapped Cups: she’ll adore a set of these! They can also double as a vessel for flowers or a votive.
8. Luxurious Body Scrub: This stuff is legit for sloughing off dead skin and leaving skin feeling so smooth. And it’s non-toxic!
9. Handwriting Bracelet: This might bring her to tears! You can have her husband, her kids, grandkids, or even a loved one who has passed, handwriting engraved on a bracelet. Just find an old note or write something new and they will turn it into a beautiful, meaningful keepsake.
10. Scripture Pillow: I had the privilege of meeting the Pillow Grace gals at a recent retreat in St. Simons, GA and I was so inspired by their mission to “help the busy, tired, and concerned remember the power of God’s word.” If your MIL loves God’s Word she would cherish one of these pillow cases imprinted with scripture and a personalized monogram to remind her of Biblical truths from dusk until dawn. Use code MYCAH20 for 20% off your entire order.
11. Ginger Jar Desk Calendar: perfect for her kitchen or office desk. Would be so special paired with a Lauren Haskell Ginger Jar. Use code MYCAH10 for 10% off any products in the shop!
12. Eye Stone Massage: These are really cool! A traditional healing technique used in East Asia, Gua Sha is often called “scraping” as it uses smooth massage tools – usually crafted from crystals – to gently “scrape” the surface of your skin. As it glides over your face and body, it helps promote blood flow and circulation, reducing irritation and inflammation. This rounded set is designed for use around the delicate eye area, and may help minimize the appearance of puffiness and dark circles.
13. Custom Monogram Tray: Another favorite gift idea from Lauren Haskell Designs. Perfect by itself or you could pair it with one of Lauren’s Ginger Jars
14. O-Venture Key Ring: for busy moms who need an extra hand! This was featured on Oprah’s Favorite and is one of my go-to gifts for any mom/woman. Use code HUNTER 15 for 15% off your order.
15. Acrylic Wine Glasses: These are awesome, especially if she likes to entertain. They’re made of Melamine, BPA Free, dishwasher safe and unbreakable.
16. Coziest Socks Ever: seriously these are out of this world soft. I have a robe and a sweater made out of the same material which would also make great MIL gifts.
17. Fancy Slippers: Super chic and sure to be comfortable thanks to their padded insoles.
18. Pretty PJ’s: Splendid makes the comfiest pieces. I lived in their maternity leggings.
19. My Favorite Coffee Mugs: Juliska pieces make the best gifts!
20. Monogram Stickers: These monogram stickers are great for gifting or perfect for personalizing her own items.
21. Ruffle Serving Dish: Another Juliska piece she would love. Can go straight from the freezer into the oven and also guaranteed for the microwave and dishwasher use.
22. Floral Basket: pretty, practical and budget friendly! Also comes in a large hamper with lid. Pair these with a set of Weezie monogram hand towels for a beautifully thoughtful gift.
23. Weezie Towels: These make the best gifts! Love their piped edge hand towels, these makeup washcloths and their monogram robe (on my wishlist). See here why I like this brand so much.
