| Not a boomer. I think a family quilt if you have one would be a nice welcome to the family gift. Showing that you are willing to share a family piece with her, shows that you consider her a part of the family. We have a family quilt that we keep on the basement sofa for movie nights. I think my great grandmother would be thrilled to have her great great grand kids huddled under her handiwork. |

Get her a hori hori knife for the garden. I wish I'd had one growing up on the farm. Our garden alone was over an acre. When my mom used mine, she had me order 4 more!

| I’m a young(ish) gardener and I would love to have some really too-notch garden tools. I know the difference between cheap and really nice tools, but I don’t buy myself the nice ones because they are pricey. If your future DIL doesn’t already have a really nice set (ask your son!) you could buy her one. She’ll think fondly of you whenever she uses them! |
I’m the gardener below you and yes—this is my most treasured garden tool! |
| Maybe an antique vase with her favorite flower on it .... something she can display in their home forever. |
m Very cool! Get one with the protective gloves. |
Family gifts should be OFFERED to the blood family member. Not foisted, offered. Leave the married-ins out of it; too much pressure. I hate quilts and old-fashioned things. A gift should be about individual joy, not pressure. It’s not about you. It’s about her. |
| I would give her an heirloom, a piece of jewelry that is special to you passing it to her. Agree also with a classic Chanel bag or VCA necklace |
New posters really need to read the original post and the other suggestions before posting! |
Sigh... either ya'll just don't get it or you're trolling. |
A pretty Le Creuset with family recipe cards inside |
Recipe cards ok but let her pick the cookware please. |
| ^ I think it is pretty, symbolic of family and love ❤️ and a classic. Most young brides do not buy this brand. |
I actually agree with this. Or a Korean hand hoe (https://www.homedepot.com/p/DeWit-Korean-Hand-Hoe-Right-Hand-31-2906/301955988?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&srsltid=ASuE1wQ7QW47LTQ5ZleTLb-xYvhKUv5iHbAGydxKuDVP-aZFLx3HKCAVvD4) |
What do they buy? |
