Question from a MIL

Anonymous
MIL again - thank you for the helpful replies! It appears that gift cards are the way to go, and I'll try to do some investigating to get her preferences for stores and spas near them.

Can't go wrong with a gap or destination maternity gift card. Does she like massages? I wouldn't do the photo shoot. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and need clothes for me right now than anything!!!!

1) I have friends who hate the very idea of being touched by "strangers"
2) People who do love massages, often have clear preferences/an established massage therapist, so unless I know who that is, I don't want to give them a certificate to some place they won't want to go.

Good call--if she is a massage person, there's nothing better than a gift certificate at a place she likes.

Otherwise, I'd say a gift card for maternity clothes or a gift certificate to a nice restaurant for a date night. If you know she's really into a certain kind of sweet, say a box of chocolates or a gift card to her favorite ice cream place would also be a hit.
