That wonderful time of the year approaches again and it’s high time to brainstorm Christmas gifts ideas. So many options out there, which can easily become overwhelming, and not to mention, time-consuming.

So, below we selected a few ideas to help you put up a nice Christmas gift for your mother, which can be replicated for your mother-in-law, without any issues:

1. Healthy lifestyle readings

You will never fail if you go for some inspirational readings on lifestyle, health, and longevity.

2. Cosmetics sets

The majority of women love cosmetics, so if your mother (in-law) also uses make-up then you will make her happy with any set you can get her. Famous brands include Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Dior, and L’Oreal. The brand you choose depends on the budget you have available.

TIP: Chose a set with more make-up accessories, mascara, lipstick, eye-shadow, but have in mind the preferences your mother (in-law) has when it comes to this topic

3. Face and body creams

The same goes for creams. You can get as a gift an anti-aging cream, for example, or a face mask, or hydrating body lotions. Good to check if she already owns some, so you can buy similar brands or similar scents.

TIP 1: Victoria’s Secret has some amazing body lotions

TIP 2: Advanced Night Repair Serum by Estee Lauder is a classic

4. Perfume

Although this is a very nice idea, you need to know what scent she prefers. Buying someone a perfume without knowing exactly which brand or scent they like, can be risky business. So, information is key!

TIP: Check the perfumes she owns and if you buy a new one, ask the salesperson for recommendations. They should definitely know what to give you.

5. Jewelry

A piece of jewelry never disappoints, if chosen correctly, of course. So, for your mother (in-law) you can go for a pair of earrings, a nice bracelet or some chain with a pendant, for example.

TIP: Unless you precisely know she doesn’t like it, buy her jewelry made from gold. Much more elegant and appreciated at her age.
