MIL gift?

[rere]

I'm trying to come up with a gift idea for my MIL.She is particularly unimpressed by most everything including me so it's a bit tricky.She started knitting a few years ago but I'm not sure if she's still doing it.But in the past I put together an assortment of yarn for her to try out.I got her a project bag and a subscription to a knitting magazine.So I think I've "done"the knitting present.

I have given her a lap blanket(not made by me)hand made pillows,framed pics,calendars with pics of my girl,homemade lemon vodka,handmade placemats and pot holder....

She is very social but doesn't have a lot of interests.She likes to play cards.

ANY ideas would be welcome.

I can do a lot crafts but not knitting or crochet.

Thanks for any help!

Giftcard for her to have lunch out.

Hand made thank you cards - you mentioned she was social, so I figured she might need these.

Does she have any vices - like favorite chocolate, coffee, soda? Some of this as a gift might be nice too.

Does she have friends over to play cards? Maybe a basket of fancy things to serve... Card themed coasters?

Jewelry? My MIL seemed to appreciate jewelry and there are so many pretty beads and such.

I like the handmade card idea but I don't know if she sends thank you cards(I have never received one)and I don't want her to think I'm implying anything.

The only thing that I can think of that she really likes is icecream.Hmmm?I'll have to think about that.Is there any sort of handmade gift there?

Lovely idea but beads are not her style.She wears a bit of jewelery but it's all gold.
