[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just give her a piece of jewelry based on the meaning/significance even though she doesn’t wear jewelry. I don’t really wear jewelry, but I still appreciate that I have some family heirloom-type pieces because they represent a meaningful connection. [/quote] Yes, start off her joining the family by demonstrating to her that you dismiss her individual preferences. Gifts are about you and your family, after all. Not her. She has no value as a person outside of her becoming a Smith.[/quote] You sound lovely. Why would that show that OP is dismissing her individual preferences? OP would explain why it’s meaningful and why she’s giving it to her. You can do both — share a family heirloom and also respect her individual preferences via other gifts. I was expressing that I, a non jewelry wearer, would still be touched to receive a family jewelry heirloom from my future MIL. [/quote]
