Help with MIL and SIL

[littlestrawby]

Hi all

I'm struggling to come up with ideas for presents for my MIL and SIL. In prior years I've left DH to sort his own family as I have so much other stuff to sort out for Christmas but invariably he leaves it until the last minute then gets them a voucher.

I am on mat leave this year so have a bit more time and want to find them both a really nice present. Problem is I have no idea what to get them!

SIL: 40, two children, very petite, trim, glam. Very fit (lots of running, yoga etc), very sociable and a great hostess (yes she is perfect ). Has a beautiful house and is always right on trend so I kind of feel like she already has everything!

MIL: likes to keep up with the jones' so always knows what is 'in', enjoys exercise, very house proud, particularly likes gin but I feel we've exhausted that route. She doesn't really have any stand-out interests or hobbies so there's no obvious type of present to get.

Keeping my fingers crossed for some mumsnet wisdom!!

For SIL, maybe a really nice luxury candle for her home, Jo Malone or Diptyque?

For MIL, Isle of Harris gin has been mentioned a lot, and it looks gorgeous! (I ordered a bottle for my mum, who has loved gin since before it became so popular)!

Or perhaps a nice flower subscription for either of them?

Thanks for your thoughts Golden. A flower subscription is an interesting idea, MIL would probably love that! :) I'l float it with DH and see what he thinks. We got her some gin just a few weeks ago for a different occasion so I'm trying to avoid another gin gift if poss!

Can't go wrong with Jo Malone, great idea thank you.

For MIL a magazine subscription. One of the high end ones like House and Garden.

For SIL - candle route is good but also consider a magazine subscription something like Tatler. i subscriptions have good deals on a the moment.

Would they like tickets for a show/event like Crufts, London fashion week etc?
