I decided to get a little garden stone with all of her grandkids names on it for their yard. They have a little area with mulch where it would look cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730686 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 20:51:39 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2730686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bake some cookies with your kid/s and send them, as well as flowers. Grandmas love stuff baked by their grandkids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730677 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:54:56 +0000 erinbaderin 2730677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would send some kind of luxury food basket. Or wine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730673 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:44:57 +0000 gotkimchi 2730673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: I have a mother in law like this so I decided to get her something to collect :silly: so I got her a pandora bracelet once and now can get charms for it for different occasions. I figure at least it's sentimental! I know you said she doesn't do jewelry but I eventually gave up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730672 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:44:23 +0000 Coral 2730672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: What about a sola wood flower centerpiece? (Confession: I am getting one from etsy for mother's day and am super excited.) Here's one I found. They will live forever and you can have them custom dyed in her favorite color. </p> [attach=7986/17/op90pz.337x600.il_570xN.1235045013_jx9r.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730667 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:40:53 +0000 youboots 2730667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a custom gift basket with a few goodies from your area? Or a birchbox subscription </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730665 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:39:46 +0000 azjax 2730665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she like sweets? I love giving and receiving Shari's Berries for sweet lovers! What about doing the personalized label on a Yankee Candle in her favorite scent? Is she a foodie? If so, check out olive oils and tapenades from The Olive Press or the Sonomic Almost Vinegar from Sonoma Portworks. I put the almost vinegar on pancakes, fruit, in salads, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730664 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:38:07 +0000 peaches1038 2730664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coral: hmm $50-$100 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730663 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:37:43 +0000 peaches1038 2730663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: nope 😩 I thought of a digital photo frame that we could upload to remotely but they dont have wifi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730661 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:36:52 +0000 Coral 2730661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: What's your budget? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730660 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:35:45 +0000 youboots 2730660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she collect anything? </p> <p>Flowers are great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mothers-day-gift-for-mil-with-no-hobbies#post-2730659 Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:32:29 +0000 peaches1038 2730659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help me think of a gift for mil! We live about 12 hours from them and only get to see them 1-2 times per year. I already send printed pics all the time. She has no hobbies or interests other than spending time with her family, which includes DHs 2 sisters and their kids. She doesn't wear jewelry and doesn't like massages. The only thing I can think of is flowers, but I'm meh about that idea. Any genius ideas for me?! </p>
