41 Best Gift Ideas for Your Mother-in-Law in 2023

Does your mother-in-law have a pet that she adores? My mother-in-law has a cat named Loki who she loves so very much! She also loves houseplants but is very careful to only purchase plants that aren't toxic to cats.

I was excited to find the "Plants for Pet Parents" online store because every plant they carry is safe! This 4-pack of pet-safe plants makes a great gift for pet parents and it's especially nice if you won't see her over the holidays and you need a gift that can ship directly to her.

Not only is this an amazingly smelling candle from Unplug Soy Candles, it's also a beautiful piece of decor that will look great on a mantle, bookshelf, or end table. It's made with premium fragrance oils and pure soy wax.

Also, make sure you pair it with Unplug Soy Candles' USB lighter. It's not a gas lighter like you're used to. Just use a USB and charge it! It's the coolest lighter I've ever used!

This 100% European linen dress from Quince is perfect for any mother-in-law. The style of this dress has a vintage flair and since it's available in a variety of colors, you are sure to find the perfect one to compliment her.

I have this dress in the blue pinstripe and received a compliment the very first time I wore it! The linen fabric is breathable and the best feature -- it has pockets!

Oh, and did I mention it's super affordable too? (Linen is usually so expensive!) You'll be shocked at this great deal!

I LOVE this over-the-sink colander! I carry it out to my garden to grab fresh tomatoes, lettuce, blueberries, etc. and then stretch it over our sink for easy rinsing. It's dishwasher safe and collapses to a small size for easy storage. It's also available in a variety of colors.

Every year I bake cookies and sweets to give away to family and friends over the holidays but inevitably there is always someone on my list that I can't gift treats to because they are either on a gluten-free or vegan diet. That's why I was excited to discover Mightylicious Cookies. They have a large variety of delicious cookies that are gluten-free and they even have some vegan options as well! They are the perfect sweet treat to gift to a mother-in-law or anyone you are shopping for who is gluten-free and/or vegan!

You can't underestimate the value of a good night's sleep! While on vacation with my mom, she mentioned how the (bad) pillow in her condo had been affecting her sleep so much.

This pillow from Eli & Elm is perfect for side sleepers - however, I'll add that my husband, who has this exact pillow and loves it, also sleeps on it on his back sometimes as well. He always gets a great night's sleep on it!

Your mother-in-law will be so thankful for this pillow!

I have this pan from Zavor and I use it multiple times a week. I love that the nonstick ceramic coating contains no toxins or heavy metals.

For someone who has everything, consider giving her something she probably uses all the time, but a good quality version, like olive oil from Kosterina.

Cold-pressed in small batches from a single blend of early harvest Koroneiki olives grown in southern Greece, EVOO has a high chlorophyll content, making it rich in healthy polyphenols (an anti-inflammatory antioxidant). Polyphenol content measuring over 55mg/kg is required for olive oil to be deemed extra virgin - this Kosterina harvest measured 470 mg/kg of polyphenol content!

Is your mother-in-law the one who cooks Thanksgiving and/or Christmas meal? If so, she will definitely appreciate a new roaster pan from Viking! It's compatible with all cooking surfaces AND it's dishwasher safe! As a bonus, this one comes with a digital thermometer too!
