Buying a gift for your mother-in-law can be a stressful endeavor. Never you fear! From pricey to inexpensive, we have 11 gifts that your mother-in-law is sure not to toss in a drawer.

Your mother-in-law will love a night away from cooking dinner (or ordering pizza). A nice dinner at her favorite restaurant will be a welcome change from her normal routine. And she'll think kindly of you as she slurps down some creme brulee.

Magazines such as Real Simple or ShoppingSmart are good bets for your MIL. If your mother-in-law has a specific interest, such as crafting, get her a subscription for her hobby. Go one step further, and purchase her a Kindle complete with loaded subscriptions and books.

Sites like Etsy feature one-of-a-kind pieces that usually won't break the bank. Buy your MIL a decorative bowl, vase, or mug.

If your mom-in-law loves water or tea, a fruit infusion pitcher is a great idea. A cylinder in the middle of the pitcher houses citrus slices, strawberries, cucumbers, etc., which infuses into water or tea for a delicious treat.

If your partner's mother is a bit of a homebody (and maybe a bit of a cheeseball), a Snuggie makes a warm and fun gift. A Slanket, though? That's just crazy talk.

Mother-in-laws love pictures of the grandchildren. Pre-load family pictures on a digital frame so she can display as many grandkids pics as her heart desires.

All moms need a spa day. Give her a gift certificate to a day spa or even a getaway weekend.

Nothing says cuddly chic like cashmere. Dove grey is hot this season and a neutral that goes well with pretty much any color.

Show your MIL that you are really in tune with her favorites. Buy digital versions of her favorite songs (try Amazon or Itunes), and burn them on a CD. Don't forget to customize the label.

A Web site such as Snapfish will turn your snapshots into personalized gifts, including throws, mugs, and collages.

Give your MIL a day off by being her maid for a day. You'll score big points and be a huge help to a fellow mom.
