Gift Guide: What to give to your Mother-in-Law who has Extremely Conservative Taste
You’re in quite a pickle. You want to (continue to ;)) impress your mother-in-law and it’s about time to get her a gift. The problem? You have different taste. You’re like me and like platforms and feathers and yellow nail polish. She likes chinoiserie and eight hour cream and twinsets. Don’t swing and miss by guessing at an exciting yet conservative gift! Instead use the guide below outsourced to my several contacts with highly traditional women in their lives and compiled by yours truly to still give it some quiet undertones of pizzazz. Conservative does not have to mean boring!
