the holidays are approaching and i'm the world's worst gift giver. buying for my sister-in-law causes me great stress so i ask for the wisdom my fellow head-fiers this year. my sister-in-law: mid 30s, mother of 18 month old and pregnant with 2nd child. they don't live near me so i don't know her very well, and i have no idea what her hobbies include. i doubt she has much time for hobbies anyway these days being a new mom and all. so give a fella some ideas.

It all depends on how much you want to spend but I would say a day out at a spa or if you want to spend a bunch of money a cruse.

Devin said it, luxury gifts are generally well received by women, they aren't into "things" as much as men typically are. A gift card for a massage / nails / etc. would probably work well.

I can tell you with certainty that her hobby is her children. I suggest a gift card at Toys-R-Us or Babies-R-Us. She can find things that she can use there also, such as a nice diaper bag.

Sure - if you want to alienate her forever.

Buy gifts for her, that have NOTHING to do with children. Spa, gift card to a clothing store she likes, anything that spells "RELAX without children".
