Gift Guide for the Grandma or Mother-in-Law

This post contains affiliate links. View my full disclosure policy for more information.

Many of you all requested that I do a mother-in-law or grandma gift guide, so here I am to deliver! I decided that I would combine the two because my mother-in-law is also a grandma to my kids!

This gift guide only has one “grandma-specific” type gift, and I left the rest very open-ended. These gifts are perfect for mother-in-laws with or without grandchildren. I thought about things my mother-in-law or mom would enjoy. Hopefully yours will too!

Gift Guide for the Mother-in-Law or Grandma

Photo Canvas // My mom requests photos of the kids every year. To make it easy, I like to print them on a canvas so it is ready to hang in her home. Snapfish currently has a great deal on canvas prints, where you can get 2 for 70% off! Get one for your parents and your in-laws! If you do not have kids, this is a great idea to give a wedding or family photo.

Alex & Ani Bracelet // I love Alex & Ani bracelets. They are so cute for stacking. This one is the “Because I love you, Grandmother” bracelet. I adore that it isn’t cheesy whatsoever, but is sentimental.

Skinnytaste One and Done Cook Book // I ordered this cookbook right after I broke my foot because I wanted really simple recipe ideas that only involved one pan/pot/etc. This is a winner! If your mother-in-law loves to cook healthy meals and wants simple ideas, she will love this.

Serving Bowls // My mother-in-law put serving bowls on her wish list this year and I love the look of these. They’re a medium size for snacks/salads, so it would be nice to grab these with a larger one to make a little set.

Block Letter Monogram Necklace // Every time I wear this necklace on Instagram stories, I get questions from women of all ages. I think this is a lovely gift idea for literally any woman on your list. If you’re stumped as to what to give your mother-in-law, this is a fail-safe gift.

Chenille Slippers // Who doesn’t love a pair of luxurious slippers? Chenille and faux fur? Yes, please. But wait until you see the price on these. They are so affordable! Grab these with the cardigan I linked below for a comfy cozy theme.

Yeti Tumbler // Everyone loves yeti tumblers. Seriously! They keep liquids hot or cold all day. This was my favorite thing to take to school when I taught because my water would stay cold and icy all day at work. Grab one of these in a fun color. If you’ve got a little extra time, find a local small business to personalize the yeti!

Barefoot Dreams Cardigan // These cardigans are pricey, but for good reason. They are unreal. So soft! Seriously any woman would enjoy this gift and feel super pampered.

Personalized Note Cards // Stationery is one of those things that you typically do not buy for yourself, but you always appreciate when you have it on hand. Grab her an artist-designed set of personalized notecards.

VINGLACE Stainless Steel Wine Insulator // I have one of these and I absolutely love it! They’re like a yeti for a wine bottle, and it’s so genius! If your mother-in-law loves entertaining or making sure her Chardonnay is the perfect chilled temperature, she will absolutely love this. It’s one of those “wow” gifts.
