my mother in law ( and father in law) came the day after I gave birth and stayed the whole yom tov.. she was amazing and did everything for me.. all the cooking, cleaning laundry , looked after my toddler, made me food etc...
what can I buy her to show appreciation?
has to be online because she lives in another country and ill never end up sending a parcel.
....
any origianal ideas??

How about uploading a load of pics of you and the kids to somewhere like Snapfish and making her an album, and sending it ?
(Comes out like a book)

Or a mug with photos on - they have other gift ideas too - aprons and shirts etc

a linen set is always useful and not a cheap gift.

The best gift for my mother in law is if she found out my husband was divorcing me.

Being that you're anonymous, what (in your MIL's mind) did you do to deserve this?

I know it was Yom Tov so there may be none of these, but did anybody, before or after Yom Tov, take a picture of your in-laws holding the baby? If so, you might want to enlarge it, buy a really nice frame, and send it to them.

How thoughtful of you to be trying to think of the right gift for their help. Sometimes people take things like that for granted, unfortunately.

Whoops, I'm sorry I wrote that, since it would involve sending a package and it's not an on-line thing. You could order a beautiful picture frame online and send her a photo separately, as it's not so hard to mail a picture.
