Whether you’re a newlywed or have been married for years, your partner’s mother is an important figure in your life to celebrate on Mother’s Day. While your own mother might not be shy about sharing what’s on her wish list this year, you might need some ideas for your mother-in-law. From cutting-edge skin care sets to indulgent bath goodies, here are our top ten Mother’s Day gift ideas for your mother-in-law this year.
Is your mother-in-law obsessed with all the latest skin care? Then, she’ll be head over heels for this skin care set with four travel-sized products from ALASTIN Skincare for Mother’s Day. This innovative skin care line features a patented complex called TriHex Technology that helps support the skin’s natural ability to produce healthy collagen and elastin. It contains ALASTIN’s Gentle Cleanser, Restorative Skin Complex, Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer and HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36.
With its oh-so-pretty packaging and luxurious scents, Laura Mercier bath and body oil makes the perfect Mother’s Day gift for a mother-in-law with discerning taste. All three fragrances—Almond Coconut, Ambre Vanilla or Neroli de Sud—feature a rich blend of botanical oil such as jojoba seed and starflower oils. It can be poured right into the bath with warm water for a moisturizing soak or applied directly to the skin as a nourishing body treatment.
If your mother-in-law appreciates all things eco-conscious, she’ll love these skin care goodies from Mad Hippie. Founded by two surfers inspired to create their own natural skin care line, Mad Hippie runs a recycling-by-mail program in partnership with TerraCycle so that their bottle tops and plastic seals can be recycled instead of being thrown in the trash. This three-piece kit features the brand’s best-selling Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum, AHA Exfoliating Peel and Triple C Night Cream. Together, these products help smooth rough skin texture, brighten skin tone and provide antioxidant protection.
For a Mother’s Day gift for a mother-in-law who covets all things organic, this skin care starter kit has all the fruit-forward ingredients of her favorite morning smoothie. It features mini versions of four skin-firming Eminence Organics products, all tucked into an ivory satin quilted pouch with a bamboo zipper pull. Organic acai berry, sea buckthorn berry, blueberry and goji berry juices combine to create antioxidant-packed formulas in a facial cleanser, mask, moisturizer and serum. The half-ounce and one-ounce containers are sized to last a month, making them just right for travel.
For a mother-in-law with blonde or gray tresses, consider gifting this OLAPLEX hair care kit for Mother’s Day. It features OLAPLEX’s No. 4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo to help diminish brassy tones as well as the brand’s cult favorite hair repair duo, No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment and No. 3 Hair Perfector. Along with No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask, these products all contain OLAPLEX’s proprietary bond-building ingredient that helps repair and strengthen damaged hair for a boost in both shine and softness.
With jane iredale celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, what better reason to gift a set from this iconic makeup brand to your mother-in-law for a Mother’s Day gift. This trio includes three full-size versions of jane iredale bestsellers, including the Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer, PureLash Lash Extender & Conditioner and the Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Pink.
Two powerhouse anti-aging products from the LovelySkin LUXE line come together in this skin care duo. LovelySkin LUXE VITA-CE is a high-potency antioxidant serum featuring vitamin C, ferulic acid and an octapeptide to improve visible signs of aging. LovelySkin LUXE Exfoliating Gel Mild features afaLUXE, an innovative complex that encourages your skin’s natural cellular turnover for improved texture and radiance. “Together, these two formulas go a long way to help renew the skin by reducing the depth of wrinkles and improving the appearance of fine lines,” says board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger.
The best Mother’s Day gift for your mother-in-law is something she wouldn’t splurge on for herself, and this hair care kit from luxe British brand Augustinus Bader is just the ticket.
