What to give FDIL for Christmas?

NYCMercedes

She's 24, likes computers, iPads, iPods Xbox, etc. She's always on a diet, wears sweats and jeans, and has a great sense of humor. Their kitchen and house is small and full. I'd like it to be really nice and could get her more than 1 gift. Ideas? Thank you.

Giftcard to itunes for her ipod/ipad?

What would you think if your FMIL gave clothes?

I am insanely picky about clothes as well as oddly shaped (and very tall, so most things have to be tried on), so it is hard for anyone to buy clothes for me, but my mom buys clothes for my brother's girlfriend and my FI somewhat frequently, and they both love it.

Also, does she have a nice case for her ipad?

My MIL gets me a gift card to VS along with an accompanying article of clothing just about every year, and I love it. If she's body conscious, yoga pants might not be the way to go but their "boyfriend" pants are SUPER comfy and not quite as fitted. I've also gotten PJ shorts and a thermal shirt from my MIL from Victoria's Secret, all of which I wear regularly. The other thing is: does she have a favorite NFL team (or MLB)? They have collections for both with sweatshirts and such that are really comfy, albeit a bit pricey. I own a bunch of Bears and Cubs stuff from there (just bought myself a new Bears sweatshirt today! haha).

I know some people might be weirded out with VS because it's a "lingerie" store, but their PINK collection has so many cute clothing options, so I guess you just have to know your relationship.

I love these VS ideas. I always think of them as sexy lingerie so thank you for reminding me that they have other stuff!

MIL tries very hard, but always ends up picking clothes that are too big or unflattering for me. She stopped doing that thankfully. 

Does she like getting her nails done? I know I get mine done every other week and a gift card to my nail salon is awesome.

She sounds a lot like me (okay, 8 years younger....) and I'm a pain to shop for.

I love Amazon gift cards, as I do lots of Amazon shopping and have a Kindle, so I go through books a lot.  iTunes gift cards are good too.

I love comfy clothes -- really soft shirts or sweaters, fleece sweats or yoga pants, etc.  My MIL is pretty good at picking out clothes for me (better than my own mother!).  Every now and then she gets me something that doesn't fit or that I don't like, but most of the time she's spot on -- and it's usually stuff I wouldn't pick out for myself but end up loving.

MY MIL gives me clothes and I love it. Or jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, earrings.....
