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?!

Does she collect anything?
Flowers are great.

@peaches1038: What's your budget?
-
@youboots: nope
I thought of a digital photo frame that we could upload to remotely but they dont have wifi.
-
@Coral: hmm $50-$100
-
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.

What about a custom gift basket with a few goodies from your area? Or a birchbox subscription

@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.

@peaches1038: I have a mother in law like this so I decided to get her something to collect
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!

I would send some kind of luxury food basket. Or wine?
-
Bake some cookies with your kid/s and send them, as well as flowers. Grandmas love stuff baked by their grandkids!
-
@Coral: that's super pretty!
@Mrs. Microscope: love this idea!Thanks all! 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.
