If you’re wondering what to get mom for Mother’s Day or what to get your mother-in-law for Christmas, this entire list of gift ideas is gold! I’ve got the best Christmas gift ideas for your mother-in-law – at all price points, for all types of moms!
I’ve thought about all kinds of grandmas and moms – those who love to cook and entertain, those who are obsessed with their grandkids, those who love to snuggle up with a good book, those who are still in the workforce, and those who are ready to globetrot.
When it comes to gifting moms and mothers-in-law, I always try to give something with a personal touch, even if it’s not personalized… for example, if she’s been having trouble sleeping, a silk pillowcase. Or if she has a big trip coming up, something nice for the flight.
A few of my favorite gifts for moms & mother-in-laws + why I love them:
1 – Ancestry DNA Kit
