[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DIL here. Definitely not art! Of the ideas listed here, I would personally like the spa day and the classic Chanel bag. [/quote]

+1 young DIL here. I really recommend against the art. I love my in-laws dearly, truly, but we have different styles and they have given us art before and then there is pressure to put it up even though it is not at all what I would have chosen. I realize spa day is probably not the type of gift you were thinking of OP, it sounds like you were thinking more heirloom. I'm not really a purse person, but a very simple bag I could use at weddings might work. I really didn't expect a gift from my MIL on the wedding day for what it's worth (and she didn't give me anything).

I would be cautious with these recs as I do agree they sound like other folks in your age range giving ideas.

The most meaningful thing to me probably would have been a heartfelt note. That would be really kind! In the note you could say that you would love to pick out a plant or tree together that you would purchase that blooms around the time of their anniversary. Can be indoor or outdoor if they have a home already. A family member did this for me for my son's birthday and it was so thoughtful. And since she likes gardening (for others it would be too much pressure to keep the plant alive!)[/quote]
