I need help finding a really amazing/special gift for my FSIL. We are super close and she has been such a huge help with everything.. but she's not in the bridal party. I want to get her something really nice for her to show her how much I (and FH of course) appreciate her. Any ideas??
TIA!

Re: Need help with a gift
What does she like? Is she a girly girl? Does she like to entertain at home? Favorite artists? does she like to go to shows?

She lives in Brooklyn and enjoys relaxing. I would get her a GC for a massage/spa, but she's done that a million times. She's not a girly girl, but she definitely likes the finer things.

Re: Need help with a gift
what is your price range for the gift? My FSIL was also a huge help and I wanted to show her how appreciated she was so I got her a nao by lladro from FH. It doesn't have to be this exact one but do you think it's something your FSIL would like?

That's not a bad idea... but this would be from me and FH together (she's been a bigger help to me during this whole process than to him... IE... handling her mother, my FMIL).

Well this stays here but that's the same reason FSIL got one. She's dealing with his whole family AND she's managing to do it without commiting herself to an institution. I'll look around and see if there's anything that fits the criteria.

You da bomb! I've got several people wracking their brains trying to come up with something great... and me, who knows her so well, can't come up with anything!

Re: Need help with a gift
is there anything in particular she is really into
i dont know how much you want to spend, but maybe you'll want to spend more than what this gift costs but i love the lolita martini glasses, not sure if its really sentimental though lol.
What about a necklace

I thought jewelery... but she wears the same diamond necklace all the time so it would probably go to waste.
PS... I do love those lolita martini and wine glasses... so cute!

ooh does she drink margaritas? Williams sonoma has the best margarita mix, maybe 2 of those and some margarita salt? We've given that as gifts before but it's tough if you're not sure what she drinks.

I love them too, and its a great gift. For helens shower i bought her china but also wanted to get something else and bought her the lolita glasses. I think i'll be doing this for when i need to get others a gift.

She'll drink anything with alcohol in it. I'll look into this!
