Is this a good gift for 30 year old?

Gift for daughter in law. I can't tell if this is something a young woman would like. Any opinions?

I like it, but I'm 43 so not your exact target

Naaaaah · 24/10/2021 17:16

It's beautiful and a fabulous gift. If it's her kind of style, go for it!

Yes, I can't tell if I like it age 58 so not for someone age 30

Well it depends entirely on her personality, fashion sense and likes.
I'm 30 and I would never wear it - especially for over £40! However friends of mine would probably like it.
Sorry thats not very helpful but I don't think anyone on here can really help. Why not ask your son if it is to her tastes?

HerRoyalWitchyness · 24/10/2021 17:17

I'm 30 and I like it. I suppose it depends if that's her style or not

Do you think it's hideous and or frumpy? Be honest.

I like it (I'm 41 though so not the same age range, as much as I would like to think I am) but if you're not sure you would be better going for a voucher so she can choose something herself.

ffiffi123 · 24/10/2021 17:22

I'm 36 and I wouldn't wear it, depends on style though!

I personally wouldn't buy clothes for anyone except my DH & toddler, it's too much of a personal thing and you're always likely to get it wrong Confused

So nice to have such a lovely & thoughtful Mother in law Thanks

Sleepyquest · 24/10/2021 17:24

I'm 30 and I don't like it because it's not my style. Is she that kind of person?

I think she would like it. Just wanted to give something nice to open as she's been working so hard.

I'm 33 and whilst it isn't my style, I don't think it's hideous or frumpy at all either. I'm sure your DIL will be very appreciative of the thought.

TeacherMa · 24/10/2021 17:31

It's quite an 'out there' pattern. is it similar to things she normally wear? If she usually dresses quite plainly, I wouldn't think this would be something she'd appreciate.

Only you will know if it's something she's likely to wear based on what she usually wears.

Fallagain · 24/10/2021 17:32

Clothes are very personal. Im 37 and i wouldnt wear that. It looks more like summer clothes.

whosaidtha · 24/10/2021 17:33

I'm 32 and I like it. But I can think of 1000 things I'd rather have if your budget is £60. That's a pretty bug budget. Especially if you're not 100% sure she'll love it.
Personally I wouldn't spend more than £20 on it.

afinethingindeed · 24/10/2021 17:35

I'm 33 and I'd wear this - I love it! I wouldn't pay that much for it myself but would gratefully accept as a gift. Lovely idea!

Namechangeforone · 24/10/2021 17:36

It's not very seasonal. I'd get a cardigan or jumper you'll know she loves

Isababybel · 24/10/2021 17:43

Im 31 and hate it, sorry. If she wears similar clothes though to that sort of style then go for it.

NeverTheHootenanny · 24/10/2021 17:44

I’m in my 30s. I think it’s beautiful but don’t think it’s my style. I think you would need to be quite boho (and slim!) to pull it off.

CoastalWave · 24/10/2021 17:46

It's beautiful - on a very slim, very tall blonde model type person!

Personally, I would buy some toiletries she likes - Clinique, Estee Lauder etc, give her some stuff to pamper herself.

It is amazing but I know I would end up shoving it in my wardrobe and just looking at it!

They like to travel so thought if they started to do South Asia again then it's something to pop in the suitcase

If she normally shops there then yes - otherwise it’s a specific style and may not bet her thing.

I agree.

Can you get her a plain kimono in a colour she likes? Preferably silk.

Or a stylish cashmere sweater.
