| I have been going crazy trying to come up with a good gift for my bf's mom. For their family, they do a drawing where everyone draws one person they buy a gift for. The limit is 70 bucks...and so far I have not had any good ideas for a gift! She is not a horse person..and honestly, I don't know of any real hobbies she has. I have asked her husband, other family members...nobody has given me much of a direction. So, looking for anything the general woman might need/want/love =] I know she loves to work out/run/bike..but her health is deteriorating, so she isn't able to do as much anymore. She also loves going out on the water, boating. Any and all ideas are more than appreciated!! Thanks all =] |

Location: Missouri | I have this issue with my MIL every year too, mostly bc my husband ALWAYS drops the ball on shopping. Ugh. Do you have kids? When in doubt, I always get my MIL a nice canvas of my kids' most recent professional photo, a photo book of them, a personalized gift from them, etc, etc. |

| How about a gift certificate for a massage? I always feel so good after a massage. I haven’t had one in a long time but that would something I would love. |

| She may not be surprised by ordinary things now. Custom gifts are more popular now. You can consider it. I gave my son custom face socks at Christmas. You can go to this website https://myfacesocks.eu/ to find out. |
