Beautiful gift needed- SIL

[sunlovingcriminal]

My SIL is taking our wedding photos in a fortnights time. She is a wedding photographer, and wants no payment, but I'd like to get her a beautiful gift to thank her. She's early 50s, ethereal and I think she is a beautiful person inside and out!

She has titian colour hair, so I often get her green accessories for birthdays and Christmas. She has sensitive skin so I tend to shy away from skincare products.

I can afford up to about £100.

Hit me with ideas!

Emerald earrings. Maybe like this

If £100 is what she can afford though...

Dont be so mean, the op says she can afford up to £100 and her SIL is willing to do it for nothing!

God this place sometimes

How about something from Sheila Fleet?

There are some lovely fused glass ornaments on Etsy, I got my mum one and she loves it they come at different price points for different sizes. You can also get outdoor ones.

Hand painted scarf.

Earrings with necklace.

What does she likes?

A robe from One Hundred Stars would be suitably ethereal.

Please don't judge how much I have to spend on this, I really think it is the thought that counts and not the price. It is a second time round wedding, in a registry office. Less than 10 people there. Entire wedding is cheap as chips. We don't really have much spare cash; I could see if I could sell some magic beans?!! SIL has offered to do it, I did offer to pay, and her response was "absolutely not, wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't behind the camera".

As I said a beautiful person.

Thank you to all for the helpful suggestions... these are brilliant, and I think some may really be up her street.

Your suggestion is spot on. I've just had a peruse and she would love one of these I'm sure. Thank you so much for the idea!

Ignore any negative responses. She obviously wants to gift the wedding photography to you. I'd offer to pay for the actual photos but it's lovely of her.

@sunlovingcriminal I have this and it’s gorgeous

Actually I was just moved by your clear love for her, how lucky she is to get you as a sister in law ignore the money grabbing comments (although I have no recommendations for you!6

What a lovely thread (ignoring the one or two exceptions)
some beautiful present ideas already
All the best for your wedding day and wishing you a long and happy marriage

I appear to have something in my eye. What a lovely comment. Thank you ☺️

And that is also much appreciated.

Neither of us have plans to wed for a third time, so this better be it 😆!

Fair enough - second time around you probably wouldn’t want the full package of photos (not that I had that for my one and only wedding). The robes people have suggested seem to be very appropriate.

This is a good idea, you don’t want to get an ornament because then she will feel that she has to display it whether she likes it or not.

It sounds absolutely fine!

Please ignore the now deleted poster. What a lovely gift from your Sil, and the robe sounds lovely

Well, I did then respond that in the circumstances, it sounds fine for a few photos of a second time around wedding that is going to be low-key.

Those robes/gowns/kimonos are great! Thanks for the ideas 🙂

Actually I think that's fair. SIL has done this as a wedding gift. So it wasn't budgeted for.

How about some scarves 🧣 ? Or what about something from your fiancé that would have special significance?
