I think it's primarily the groom's gift to buy presents for his family members, regardless of the holiday {The exception at our house is Christmas, when everyone buys gifts for everyone. }, but if your mother-in-law (or future mother-in-law) has been extra sweet to you this year, there's no reason you can't spring for a gift on your own for Mother's Day. (Or at least point your groom in the right direction!) Here are six ways to raise a glass to your mother-in-law on Mother's Day, plus add-on gifts if she's been extra-extra-good!
Mother's Day Gift 1: Latte Mug With Fancy Coffee
Rain Drop Latte Mug from Etsy seller sproutstudio, $22.
Mother's Day Gift 2: Shot Glasses With Top-Shelf Booze
DIY Shot Glasses by Feathers & Freckles.
Mother's Day Gift 3: Water Bottle With Fun Gym Gear
I have a glass and silicone water bottle and I LOVE it! I'd gift this one with cute headbands or fancy gym socks! BKR Silicone + Glass Water Bottle in Betty, $28.
Mother's Day Gift 4: Champagne Flutes With Festive Bubbly
Firecracker Flutes from BHLDN, $60.
Mother's Day Gift 5: Vintage Teacups With Yum-Tastic Tea
Vintage Pink Depression-Era Glass Teacups from Etsy seller TheZoeBird, $70.
Mother's Day Gift 6: Wine Glasses With a Summery White
Yes, I know these are technically whiskey glasses, but I love a stemless, heavy-bottom glass for wine. (Less spillage!) Wine Enthusiast Madison Avenue 2-Piece Whiskey Glass Set from Kohl's, $34.99.
Obviously not every mom does shots (though you should see my friend Dave's mom and a bottle of tequila) or drinks tea, so you'd have to pick the most appropriate drink for the mom you're buying for. But every mom drinks SOMETHING, right?!
Which of these gifts would you buy for your mother-in-law for Mother's Day? How 'bout your mom?
