You could to a nice chef's knife and cutting board. Or a set of steak knives. Or an immersion blender and soup recipe book. Nice wine glasses from Crate and Barrel and a bottle of wine?


What? No. The Ugg slippers that OP's son suggested are perfect. I'm aghast at your sexist suggestions. And I cook and bake. But these seem a lot like gifts for this woman to serve/perform for OP's son.

Good choice!

Talking to your son FTW! Congratulations on this new adventure in life, becoming a MiL. Choosing a gift based on a personal recommendation shows DIL you are seeing her as a person. Much nicer than an impersonal gift card.

I feel like young people tend to be too picky and judgy so probably unless you've luxe budget, a small money card is a safe option. Well, they may still judge you for not making enough effort.

If two adults date for years and decide to get into a long term relationship, shouldn't they be able to understand each other without holding each other's parents responsible to really introduce them to each other?

A cashmere scarf or throw blanket.

Definitely not perfume and definitely not anything she can't take on a plane, if she's flying.

How about very high end battery operated candles, like Uyuni

No perfume unless you know exactly what she wants. Gift card to Sephora, nice spa in area, museum membership

What's on wish list of young working women? Something nice but not bank breaking. Gift card? Perfume?
