Ugh, help! I'm stuck on a gift for MIL. She moved here from CO to help with the twins and she's amazing. Bought her a GC for a pedicure for Mother's Day and I don't think she's used it.
I'm making ornaments out of their Christmas pictures for family, but this woman has been so good to me and I really want to give her something special.
She loves to shop but if I get her a GC she'll use it on my kids. She drives to visit my nephew once a month, 5hrs each way, so maybe something travel related? I'm drawing a blank, and I used to be so good at this!

Can you just get her a GC to a store she likes, that has no baby items. then she will not use it on the kiddies! How high is your budget for her? Is a nice clutch or handbag out of the question?

I like the idea of it being travel related. What about a gas/restaurant gift card? Or does she stay at a hotel when she goes out to see your nephew? If so maybe a night there.
I'm also a fan of the pamper yourself gifts. A nice hand lotion /mask /bottle of wine? I also like the purse or wallet too. Something she needs and uses daily but could be a little more luxurious

Budget isn't really solid- if we think of the perfect gift, we'll make it happen. She saves us so much in babysitting alone.
yummeecookee, her daughter runs an online boutique and she gets free stuff to try out all the time. I don't think it would be as special as it would be for most people- she'd probably return it and use the money on the kids. I like the idea of a gas card plus something smaller, but accessories and anything fashion related are kinda out

samelly, a bathroom supplies bag... I like that. Luggage might be an option but I'm thinking maybe the bathroom bag with some smaller nice toiletries plus the gas card would do the trick! Thank you!

I like a nice travel mug idea, maybe you can personalize one on Shutterfly? I think I got an email they have 50% off through tomorrow.
I am doing a photo book for my MIL, a Nana necklace for StepMIL, and my mom is getting a butterfly grandma wall hanging and a CD.
I knew I should have poked around shitterfly a little more. Too late to order, we're heading out of town before any reasonably priced delivery would make it here.
