    Ladies,

    In laws are here in US for 6 months. Since there is not much celebration in US for Diwali, we are thinking of buying some diwali gifts for them. Most probably we will go with ipad for FIL. Just don't know what to buy for MIL..

    She wanted to buy diamond earring for a while. But that's out of our budget. The range she is looking is around 3 lacs in India (again, she has her own money and never ever asked us to buy her the earring).

    She is a great lady and I wholeheartedly want to buy something she can use for a while. She already has an ipad and iphone. What else can we buy here?

    Any suggestions?

    If your MIL likes precious beads, you can take her to bead shows and buy her choice of ruby, emerald, jade, pearl strings, she can make necklace sets, bangles out of it.

    Assuming the budget is same as IPAD budget for FIL, a designer Handbag if she is fan of hand bag.. If she loves cooking take her to Surla Table and she can make sure you spend your budget. I go crazy in sur la table. They have good kitchen gadgets.

    Chitra,
    The problem is, she won't understand the value of those. For her, a handbag is 500 rupees worth no matter how much you spend on it. She hardly gets out of home in India. So, it won't be of much worth.

    Same with kitchen gadgets. For her, it's as equal as Rs. 10 paathram. She won't understand the value of it.

    The budget doesn't have to be in ipad range. We were planning to buy another ipad for them as they use it a lot and both of them fight for it. Hence ipad for FIL (as the ipad is MILs).

    Here is an option. Cash ( what ever ur budget is ) with a note that it would go towards the purchase of her diamond earrings. She can make up the rest.

    JAG,

    She herself has money for the diamond earring. She is just holding the purchase for whatever reason. So money might not be a good gift and DH will get mad even if I suggest that. He wants us to buy something for her.

    Now a days, many sale going on with fantastic mid range jewellery and in iPAd cost you can buy super duper set.
    alternatively, you can get her bracelet or handbag like somebody said.
    Buy a smal cruise tix so for like a couple of hrs, she can chill out with all of you.
    Or you can create a basket of things she needs...like movie tix + chocolates (if she likes) small handbag + cosmetics (if she likes), + cases for her gadgets if she does not have them, nicely arrange in basket n wrap it up
