What is the perfect gift for a prospective mother in law?

You can ask your fiance what she might like, or find a unique gift from your country that you would like to share with her. A nicely framed photo of yourself and her son, or a nicely framed photo of the three of you together, could be an excellent gift. Or if she's coming to see you, get a spa day out or something similar, that way the two of you will have a chance to go and do womanly things together and get to know each other better. Best of luck! It's very considerate to be thinking of things to do to make this a nice relationship, because so many people have problems getting along with their in-laws.

Confirmation is the last sacrament before marriage,so it should be something that she will hold dear to her heart.\n\nAll of the above ideas are good,but she may already have plenty of things in the way of jewelry and already have a Bible.\n\nI would suggest something more personal. Hallmark has some wonderful gifts for religious occasions.\n\nPerhaps if she collects something,such as Precious Moments figurines,you could get her the one for Confirmation,or an Angel.

I would go for something small and thoughtful, rather than "inexpensive".  If you talked with your FIL (father-in-law), I'm sure you could gather some quick information about the things she likes to do, her favorite cologne and such.  Maybe she's into crochet or knitting, then you could buy a pattern book and some yarn.  Or maybe she's into golf, you could get her some club-covers or some personalized golf-balls.  Or maybe she's into photography, you could get her a new camera bag.\n\nSome other, more general, ideas off the top of my head are:\n\nHallmark (or Wal-Mart, if you prefer) has some nice photo ablums, memory boxes and such.  \n\nA scrap-book starter kit with everything she needs except the photos to get started with scrap-booking.  \n\nA "frou-frou" bath set with bath crystals, lotion, soaps, ect.\n\nA gift certificate to a local salon for a manicure and/or pedicure.\n\nA robe and nightgown set.\n\nA set of mittens with a scarf and hat.\n\nIf all else fails, get a gift certificate for some place nice like "Bed, Bath and Beyond" or a nice restaurant as a couple's gift.

Take all the family's pictures and put them on a tape along with some of her favorite songs.  Put in movie clips of family events if you have some.  Like weddings, birthday parties, and Christmas morning.  That why all she has to do is push in the tape, and she's got all the people she loves most in the world right there with her.  \n\nIf you can't do a tape, then make her a photograph album.  You could go out and take pictures of her favorite places, her friends, and new members of the family.  I know I would treasure something like this, and it would mean so much because you took a lot of time and effort to make it special.\n\nMy mother made me one of photos of our family while I was growing up.  And I have it on the coffee table.  I will always treasure it, so I think your Mother in law would like this.  I did a large sofa size picture for mine with all her grandkids, and she had it hung in her house till she died.  I now have it hung in mine.\nI hope you find just the right gift for your Mother-in-law, and she's all ready very lucky, to have such a sweet daughter in law like you!\n\nGod bless us all..................

two suggestions a family portrait and a mother's ring or bracelet.

Spending time with her would be the best gift you could give her.  Take her out to lunch or dinner.  That will mean more to her than any gift you could buy.  You sound like a good son.

I think a letter expressing your feeling or treasured moments with her, or is your any kinf of pot, a poem could work as well\n\nGo to the dollar store, buy a nice picture frame and display the letter...add one single rose to that. (if you could afford it),,,,\n\nThat would be the best and most personal gift any woman can receive....something from the heart, and not store bought.

I have had 2 mothers in law.  I was equally nice to both at the beginning.  I wanted to make a good impression.  The 1st one HATED me.  But then her son was a spoiled cry baby and she never wanted to give him up.  He's 40 and still lives at home.  The 2nd one LOVES me.  Her son is a MAN.  He treats me well and we have a lovely family.  I think it depends on several things.  Whether the mother has any intention of ever giving up the son.  Whether the son has enough spine to stand up for his wife.  The wife needs to accept "helpful advise" in a kindly way.  Say "Thank you, I'll consider that.  I appreciate your help".  Treat your mother in law how you would wish to be treated.  I think it comes down to what type of person she is.  I thank God for my new mother in law.

I think you should get her a one of a kind designer diamond or coloured diamond bracelet with matching earings and chain. Note that you have to talk one on one with the jeweler and tell them that you want to create something unique, elegant and outstanding! you know so that she will be the only one in the world who has it!  you know with women we can never have too much jewelery! that's a fact!

These ideas are some from gifts my husband has given me, or I have heard of from other women, or things that I want :)  So maybe they will help you imagine what would work for you!  :)  This is kinda fun!! lol\nA ticket for a weekend for two at a romantic Bed and Breakfast\nA check for her to use for her - only her - for personal things and clothes.\nI would love very very nice pajamas with a matching robe (but if she is a mother with young kids she probably would want something more practical)\njewelry - the best, of course, or the best that you can afford.\na jewelry cabinet - they are the big ones that are like mini dressers - the run from 99. to over 400.  It holds alot of jewelry!\nA special piece of furniture - an antique rocker, antique hope chest - I would personally love it if he bought something from an antique store but she might prefer new things.\nwhatever her hobby might be - give her somethign that is really cool in her realm of hobbies - like very nice easel for painting, or new oil paints and expensive sable brushes, or waterpaints, or a gift certificate for her favorite hobby store.....  this would work for me but not all women and you would know if it would work for your wife!  \nplane tickets to a warm beautiful place for a vacation for the two of you for sometime in January!  wow -THAT would be cool!\nI know that I buy myself stuff through out the year but when Christmas comes - I want something I wouldn't normally buy myself, something seen as extravagant, something that makes me feel like I am really special to the person that bought it for me.  \nA special gift from an antique store just melts my heart.  That means that it is more than likely one of a kind and really specially chosen for me.   But if she doesn't have those same feelings then she might think it's junk and that you were cheap! yikes!\nAnother thing is if she has shown any interest - you could call your local university and see if the adult ed classes are having dancing lessons and you could sign you and her up for a few weeks of dancing classes.  The classes all over the U.S. are filling up with people who have never danced before who want to learn.  My husband and I went last summer and while we probably flunked the classes, we laughed the whole time we were in the class and had a great time!  It was a lot of fun!\nYou can also ask a female relative or one of your wife's best friends what she might be wanting and what they think.  Not knowing your wife makes it hard for me to answer, but on the other hand I am telling you things that might be new and different, too.  :)\nVery best of luck to you and your wife is really lucky to have a thoughtful (and early!) husband!!

The letter & the photo ideas are nice ones. As a mother, I can tell you that the best presents are always those that come from the heart. They needn't cost much (if anything at all). just so long as it's given with all the love you have for your mother. My daughter has given me "World's Best Mum" certificates & stuff like that, but the best thing ever from her, was a photo of her at her school prom with a poem that she'd writen herself, about how she felt about our relationship. Stuff like that is totally unique, a keepsake, memories that you can look back on with love in years to come. Give her something that shows how much you love her - I know she'll be more pleased with that than if you spent loads of money on something that any daughter could buy for her mother.

Most women love small but romantic gifts. A card, a tiny box of her favorite chocolates, a candle from the dollar store, or a pretty plant are all nice. Best of all, of course, is something you make for her. Even if you don't excel at the arts, she will appreciate a drawing (even if it's just stick-type figures), story, poem, or song you created out of your love for her. My husband wrote me a very beautiful poem, just using words and phrases that ran through his head about me. You could also make her dinner, give her a massage and/or a long, relaxing bath. Find out what means most to her. Tell her you want to make her feel loved and have her make a list for you of the type of thing that would do that. You might want to read The Five Love Languages to find out more. Good luck! :)
