If you've got your gifts for mum sorted already, you’re off to a great start — but don’t forget about the other motherly figures in your life, like your mother-in-law!

Mother’s Day isn’t just about the mums we’ve always had, but also the mums who’ve come into our lives later on and have (hopefully) grown to love us as their own. 

It’s the perfect occasion to show her how much you appreciate her and thank her for raising your spouse so well! 

If you’re close enough to your mother-in-law to know her likes and dislikes, picking out a gift should be fairly easy. 

But if you’re still learning what she loves and loathes, fret not. We’ve got a power-packed list of gifts for your mother-in-law to inspire you.

Mother-In-Law Gift Ideas

Gift-giving can be challenging, particularly on Mother’s Day. While shopping for your mum, partner or friend might be straightforward, shopping for your mother-in-law can be a little trickier. 

If you’re not sure where to start, you’re in the right place. We’ve collated a list of mother-in-law gift ideas that will surprise and delight. 

Take time and care to consider what kind of gift suits her lifestyle and interests. The best gift for your mother-in-law is one that was chosen thoughtfully and sent with love! 

1. Gifts for Your Long-Time Mother-In-Law: Fresh Flower Bouquets

The Paris bouquet, pink and white flowers for Mother's Day

Mother’s Day would not be complete without flowers, that’s for sure.

If you’re unsure about what colours and flowers she’ll like, we’ve curated a list of our top Mother’s Day bouquets to make her smile.

Here at Floraly, our flowers are sourced only after you order, so they are much fresher and can be enjoyed for longer than bouquets with flowers that have already bloomed. 

All our lovely bouquets are delivered in our signature Floraly gift box and come with a free personalised gift card for your Mother’s Day message.

While it’s fresh in your mind, why not pre-order your Mother’s Day flower delivery on our website?

This Mother’s Day, why not treat your mother-in-law like the queen she is and give her luxurious sateen sheets from Ettitude

Their signature sheet sets are made with 100% organic bamboo lyocell, which make them soft and smooth like silk. 

Bamboo has a lot of great benefits. It's breathable and thermoregulatory, meaning it will keep your mother-in-law warm in winter but cool in summer. Bamboo is also hypoallergenic, lightweight, and sustainable.

We're sure she’ll enjoy a good night’s sleep and feel well-rested and recharged every morning when she's sleeping on these beautiful sheets! Available in a variety of colours to suit her home, this is a worthy investment that she’ll definitely thank you for.
