Jewelry is usually safe. Does she like music? How about concert tickets to one of her favorites? Pay for a massage, pedicure or manicure. Has she had a little dream to go up in a hot air balloon? Or have a Galmour Shots done? A dinner cruise on a steam train or riverboat? Maybe all the fixins' for a picnic at the beach or in the park, with her receiving lots of wine and attention? You know the woman. What is important to her but seldom addressed? ADDITION: Mother-in-law, huh? Take her to dinner. Or cook dinner for her. If she cooks, make up a gift basket of spices and cooking gadgets. Take her to a movie. Does she garden? Get a bucket and fill with gardening things like seeds, gloves, pruners, and some bulbs for pretty flowers. Do your best and then stop worrying. What she should care most about is if you love her son. Anything else should be unimportant. If she is not that kind of mom, then don't waste any time worrying about how she views a gift from you.
