[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?

[b]For the wedding day I would only do a beautiful note written on your stationary. [/b]

[b]A framed picture or painting of a place that is meaningful to the couple. Not something that only relates to your son![/b] Ideas would be their first home, memory of where they got engaged. I got my DIL a pretty clutch that had Mrs xxxxxx beaded on it. She loved it!  [/quote]

Love this sentiment.  And something that says "Mrs. Jones" proves you are not insecure or fell "ousted" - like some MILs might. Agree OP - something hand written, from the heart - not all about you, but welcoming her to the family and saying something nice about her, and her and your son, since it is their special day.  DIL will realize that you are not selfish, and this could go a long way.

OP here.   so many great suggestions and opinions.   I've already had the fun of getting her a custom new water bottle ( her favorite color and style) with "Mrs.  Smith (not our name)  Est. 2023".  on it.   She cried, I cried...it was another touching moment between myself and this wonderful, kind, loving  girl who already calls me mom and wants me to call her my daughter.   Our families have been friends for over 10 years and I've watched her grow up and predicted this wedding probably before my son even did lol.    [/quote]

That's sweet. You sound like a wonderful person and thanks for letting us have some fun with this. [/quote]
