Adding a refreshing scent to someone’s home is a great way to brighten their whole outlook, and this beautiful NEST reed diffuser is a much more elegant option than traditional mist diffusers. There’s no need to add water or essential oils to this diffuser, and it fits in a much more compact space so it’s great anywhere in the home.
This set comes with a classically shaped that features modern striped etching in gold, and the minimalist look would complement any décor, especially mid century modern. While these diffusers come in a variety of fragrance options, this particular one creates the aroma of a majestic winter forest by blending white pine, fir balsam, and birchwood with a base of rich musk and amber.
According to Noisli, pine scent helps to reduce stress and anxiety, much like a literal “bath in the forest.” These sets come with enough alcohol-free fragrance to last for up to 90 days.
If your daughter in law seldom treats herself to cute fashion-forward clothing just because she likes it, this adorable Allegra K wrap coat is an ideal gift for her. Dressy enough for work, it’s also a stylish option for playtime. She’ll love the wide shawl collar and large front patch pockets with flaps. This car-length coat features a self-tie belt and a double-breasted button front closure.
Made of 80% polyester and 20% cotton with a weave that looks like wool (without the itch.) This jacket is completely lined. Get it in four fun colors, and sizes from X-Small to X-Large.
Does your daughter-in-law regularly read, work, or relax in bed? If she does, the BedShelfie is going to be her new BFF whenever she’s in the mood to languish in the sack. This clever bedside shelf is seriously easy to install on any hard bed frame, and it’s sturdy enough to hold her books, coffee, and readers, or up to a 15-inch laptop and mouse.
With scratch and fade-resistant coatings, this bedside shelf features a raised edge to prevent things from getting knocked to the floor, and she can install it between a traditional box spring and mattress even more quickly than a hard bed frame with no tools required either way.
Everyone can use a little self-pampering these days and if your daughter-in-law’s favorite way to relax is a hot bath, the ROYAL CRAFT WOOD bamboo bath caddy is a perfect gift for her. It will elevate her soak with an expandable tray that fits literally every tub up to 43 inches wide. With a book/tablet rest with a removable waterproof cover, wine glass holder, candle rest, trays for her bath essentials and washcloths, and even a matching soap holder, it’s a great way to encourage her to take time for herself and her mental health.
Made of rot-resistant bamboo, silicone grips keep the tray from slipping around. And, while it’s perhaps not the best way to relax, this tray even has a special slot for her smartphone. You can also get this bath caddy in an assortment of wood finishes and colors.
If you’ve been on the fence about getting a smart device, now’s a great time to step up to the plate with the Echo Show 8. This smart device has a larger HD screen, stereo sound, and tons of features that can keep her organized and connected with life including her family.
She can use it to watch the news, check the weather, and keep tabs on her morning commute traffic. If she asks Alexa to play an album or artist from Amazon music, she can sing along with the lyrics as they display on the screen. She can even make it her new kitchen BFF, because she’ll get a three-month complimentary subscription to Food Network Kitchen Premium so she can learn to master favorite recipes and cooking techniques from the experts.
The Echo Show 8 can be used to voice control her other smart home devices, from lights and switches to thermostats, and she can also view security cameras whenever she wants. She can also make hands-free video calls via the Alexa app to your Echo if you have one as well as send announcements or voice messages to the kids’ rooms as long as they’ve got a supported Echo device too.
When your DIL want to make a cup of tea, instant coffee, hot cocoa, or even a quick package of ramen, messing with a pot on the stove becomes unnecessary if she’s got the Chefman digital electric kettle. Like a sports car for hot water, this kettle can take water from cold to boiling in just a few minutes.
A simple digital control on the kettle’s handle gives her precise temperature control with seven presets, plus an on/off switch. It allows her to set your water temperature for perfect steeping of various teas (did you know they steep best at different temperatures?) The reusable tea steeper allows her to even make the perfect brew right inside the kettle. The borosilicate glass pot gives you an easy visual in terms of strength.
Give your special lady a gift that feels like a warm hug from you every time she wears it. When she wraps herself up in this gorgeous 100% pure cashmere shawl, she’ll be surrounded in softness and warmth because cashmere is eight times warmer than Merino wool, yet it’s much softer and more lightweight.
Used as a wrap, it’s the perfect light topper for at least three seasons of the year, and the knit fabric drapes beautifully. At 78 x 28 inches, it’s universally sized and the ends are finished with a feminine fringe. It comes in five classic colors she’ll love.
What do you get when you cross Wellington boots with riding boots? you’d get these adorable Chooka rainboots that are as fashionable as they are functional. These knee-high cuties are perfect for rain, snow, mud, and pretty much whatever the weather can dish out. When we first got a pair to check out, we were nuts about the contrast bindings and side buckle, and your daughter-in-law will be too.
These slip on and off easily, but the footbed is super cushy with a memory foam insert that will keep her comfy all day long, whether she wears them with jeans or plans for a day in the garden. They have a hard rubber inner sole and steel shank so they can stand up to hard shovel work. The slight heel also adds to their comfort and good looks. Made from natural rubber, they’ve been treated to resist odor and bacteria, which is ideal since waterproof boots aren’t built for ventilation.
When you’re looking for a fun and affordable gift, this Everplush microfiber bath wrap is the perfect way for her to step from the shower or tub and maintain her modesty. Unlike a bath towel which is always too short and never stays tucked at the top, this quick-drying wrap around features a strong hook and loop fastener right at the top, so it always stays right where it belongs. Enclosed soft elastic at the top allows it just the right amount of stretch so you don’t need to worry about size either. At knee length, this will be her new fave home spa gift that she’ll use constantly.
Make it a set by adding the Everplush quick dry hair towel that dries her hair faster than a regular towel and also helps to prevent frizz, which is a total winner. It twists into a turban and stays secure with that same hook and loop fastener.
There’s makeup and there’s skincare, and usually, the two don’t come together, unless, that is, you’re talking about skincare makeup from Jane Iredale. That’s why we loved this gift set from the first second we laid eyes on it. It is almost like a beauty advent calendar with little surprises that are as healthy for your skin as they are luxurious and beautiful.
Inside the Jane Iredale Pure & Simple Makeup Kit, she’ll all the things she needs to create a fresh healthy glow each and every day! From the weightless color and texture of PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation, Blush, and Eye Shadow to a pretty caress of Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain this clever kit will keep her makeup looking fresh and beautiful throughout the day.
Age can play a big role in finding the right gifts for daughters-in-law, and if you’re shopping for a younger woman, gifts that recognize her concerns and commitment to addressing climate change can let her know you’ve been really listening to her thoughts. The Ecolunchbox stainless steel bento box tackles the issue up front with items that are reusable and recyclable.
The kit comes with a locking bento box with two stainless steel inserts that keep her food from mixing while it’s being transported. The total of three containers makes plenty of room for a sandwich, salad, and one more food option of her choice.
