Let’s face it: Finding the perfect gift for your mother-in-law can be a pressure-filled endeavor, no matter what type of relationship you have, but we’ve got some tricks up our sleeves to help you find something she’ll cherish (or at least won’t return) by Christmas. Looking for a great gift that says thanks for raising my beloved? Consider a personalized present like a cutting board engraved with her own mom’s signature recipe. Is she in her pickleball era? How about a cute new paddle for her to proudly tote to the court (this one ships fast)? Does she already have everything? We bet she can still make room for a cozy gift like slippers (the ones on our list are actually unique). Is she always on grandma babysitting duty? Go the self-care gift route with luxury hand creams or a foot massager. Whatever kind of MIL you’re shopping for, Glamour editors (and our MILs) say these presents won’t disappoint, and if you hurry, they’ll arrive in time for the holidays.
