For those who don’t count gift-giving as one of their best traits, Mother’s Day may elicit mild decision paralysis. The antidote: Don’t procrastinate. With the holiday approaching, right now (not a few days before) is the most opportune time to find something that thoughtfully speaks to her taste and interests. And if you’re crossing more than your own mother off the shopping list—like a mother-in-law—it may require a bit more creativity to come up with a gift that shows your appreciation for your significant other’s parent.

Because she’s likely at the stage in life where she doesn’t need anything, Mother’s Day provides a lovely opportunity to find a gift that will feel like a little indulgence. For the mom who is always talking about her summer sojourns in France, perhaps a beautiful coffee table book to inspire her next adventure? Maybe she holds court in the backyard during the summer months, and a new straw hat or lounge chair will complement her afternoons in the sun. Think about how she spends her time and tailor a gift accordingly. To help spark a few ideas, discover our edit of 42 Mother’s Day gifts for your mother-in-law ahead.
