i am really struggling to decide what to get for my future mother in law as a thankyou gift for the wedding any suggestions? we have gone all out with the flowers spent more on flowers than my dress so i dont want to be spending extra on flowers as presents to everyone when they will all be taking flowers home with them anyway from the table centre pieces. i have decided what to get everyone else, but she is just so hard to buy for, she doesnt have many interests, she doesnt even like flowers, doesnt wear perfume, jewelry or makeup, her house is very minimalist doesnt have photos out or orniments or anything like that im just stuck on what to get help!

we bought my mum and my mil a key charm from a lady on facebook. they both loved them and mil cried :')
they had the wedding date and our names in a little bottle top, and then loads of weddingy charms. like a mini bride and groom, a butterfly to match our theme and a swarovski crystal :) there was more. oh and their initial and a charm saying 'brides mum' and stuff :) they were GORGE!
if you want i'll put the ladys name on my wall :) I think they were £20 each but at least they last :)

We are getting both mothers photo albums from the photogorapher (when they get round to editing our photos that is!!!). we thought about flowers but MIL isn't a fan, she doesn't wear jewellery or make up, and only wears chanel numero cinco perfume, so we figured this would be a safe option!! We still haven't told them what they are getting yet, it will be a nice surprise!!! xxx
