A Special Gift - need suggestions!

My FMIL is making my wedding gown (long distance no less) - I want to buy her something special for all the work she is doing.

I absolutely love my dress, it is turning out exactly as I wanted it.

What could I give her as a gift to show how gratedful I am?

Since she's long distance, why not flowers? Or a thank you Clever Cookie! Just a thought.

What about a gift cert. for a spa? If you're not sure which one she goes to, you can get one at Spa Wish.com that is good for 100's of spas all over.

I got one once & it was great!!

You could also try Things Remembered or Mrs.Field if she's a cookie nut or ... Harry & David if she's into fruits - I got a veggie basket that was awsome from them. We grilled Veggies for a week straight!

Red Envelope has some nice stuff!!

If your FMIL is making you your wedding dress--I would definitely get her something with thought and meaning (no gift certificates--in my opinion)---how about pretty jewelry with her birthstone in it whether its a necklace, earrings or a bracelet or a really huge gift basket of her favorite wine or liquor and some nice wine glasses---maybe Lenox or crystal --
