my future daughter in law does not wear jewelry. I'm looking for ideas for something special to give her to officially welcome her into our family. Almost everything special I find is jewelry, and unfortunately that is out. I want to give her something special at her shower, so I also need ideas for that, but primarily looking for a gift I can give her on the day of the wedding. I want it to be meaningful and I've seen plaques, etc., but nothing seems to compare to the significance a piece of jewelry would have.
Any ideas? |

| A piece of art for her home? A nice bag of some kind - purse/briefcase/backpack or nice luggage she can use in her married life? What does she like, you haven’t given us much to go on except she doesn’t like jewelry. |

She loves gardening, loves the outdoors, is a nurse, has beautiful long hair (maybe a special hair clip...I just thought of that one ) A piece of artwork for her home might be a good one. I just keep comparing everything to a piece of heirloom jewelry and nothing seems to compare. But a piece of special art work might be something that can become an heirloom. |

Yes, but I just helped my son pick out a watch for her from him lol. That was a good idea, though. I could have had it engraved. |

OP here. Nice idea. Thank you. |

| My mother in law got me a classic Chanel purse. It’s a quilted black bag with a chain and I can’t really see it ever going out of style? I only use it 3/4 times a year but out of the 22 years I’ve been married I always find a few occasions to wear it. I’m not a “bag girl” but it has some practical and elegant purposes. |

| Are you sure she doesn't like any kind of jewelry? Is it possible she just couldn't afford what she really wants? |

Someone gave me a gardening bench that I love. You can sit on it or you can kneel on it while doing yardwork.

What a great gift! |

Art is so personal, though. Unless she has mentioned an artist or painting, how would you know if she liked it? |

a beautiful vase (crystal? or whatever you think suits her style)
a really nice set of wind chimes a gift certificate for them to pick out something for their yard that will grow for years (tree, rosebush, etc.) I’d recommend against a painting. I’m sure you have excellent taste, but even so, art is intensely personal. and they may prefer other styles. A painting is designed to be displayed and draws the eye. If they don’t happen to care for it, they’ll still be looking at it for years. |
