4 Ideal Gifts for Your Mother-in-Law in Glens Falls

Cross that toughie off your holiday shopping list this year, and make use of our four ideas for gifts for your mother-in-law in Glens Falls!

1) You Can't Go Wrong With Jewelry - Or Can You?

Jewelry is a popular gift for any woman, and can be an easy go-to for a tricky gift receiver like your mom-in-law. While there's nothing wrong with choosing jewelry, make sure you aren't randomly selecting something from a clearance rack - give her a piece that has meaning.

Close 2 UR Heart operates out of The Shirt Factory and their pieces center around outdoor recreation and the Adirondacks. If the mother of your spouse is super outdoorsy and/or loves Lake George and the Adirondack region, browse what they have on their site.

2) Go for Gorgeous Adirondack Scenes Captured by a Local Photographer

4) Find Your Way to Her Heart Through Her Stomach 

Glens Falls Farmers Market: Open Through Winter

From local jams and honeys and baked goods and more, you're sure to find something she'll love at the Glens Falls Farmers Market. They sell artisan goods as well, so you may feel compelled to branch out from food!

The winter market takes place inside Aviation Mall on Saturday mornings, so stop by and see if you can dig up that perfect gift for your mother-in-law that she'll love forever - or at least until she consumes it.
