It's my mil's birthday tomorrow and it's a significant one. I have no idea what to get her and a roughly $100 limit, including shipping. Also it has to come from somewhere that will send it out pronto, to arrive asap amd absolutely before shabbos
She is a big reader but last w times I got her anything I got her a book. She likes high end toiletries but I have also done that to death. She is very elegant and intellectual. Already does her nails, etc. so can't treat her to a spa.

Is she the type to enjoy a massage? Do they have a massage envy close to her or Ojas massage

High quality chocolates?

If you can recommend a brand that's really high quality that might work. But she won't like ones that are just "fancy".

Magazine subscription?
Maybe a luxurious throw blanket to cuddle up in while reading?
A wrap/scarf for chilly evenings?
A pendant or a pair of earrings?
If you think she'd like to try something new, a gift certificate to take a class - something like pottery making perhaps?

Not sure if this fits your requirement.

I like the ones from Cocobliss in Boro Park. (646) 784-6930
I went into the store and then mailed them out myself. It was Purim time, last minute, so they were not offering to ship it. Maybe they would do it now at a quiet time.

They look like this. No experience with the site tho

My first thought was a gift card for a facial/ massage, but that's probably more than $100.

Perhaps check out Domani Home. A nice faux flower planter?

For starters buy an expensive gift card like the $5-10 handmade ones, write a nice note and tell her to check her mailbox for the gift. So at least the card is on time.
