Good xmas gift Idea from my mil? What do you think?

So my mil is OBSESSED with lenox. Its really the only thing any of her kids ever buy her b/c its the only thing she will like Chat Icon

Every year she has a big xmas party at her house with everyone in the family.
I was thinking of buying this lenox serving piece and putting like pastries on one, cookies on another, and all rainbow cookies on another ( my fil's favorite)

and wrapping it up in cellophane and bringing it over early the day of the party as her xmas gift.

What do you guys think? Should I get a xmas pattern or plain ? She only has big parties at xmas time but the plain she can use for anything Chat Icon

it's very nice, AND just to let you know, I saw tons of that piece, first quality, at the Lenox Outlet. It's overstock from last year, but it's definitely first quality. I picked one up for my aunt, and I got a halloween server for my FMIL ($15!!!) Chat Icon

It is a great gift idea and I would probably try to go for a more general pattern so that she could get more use out of it.

I would love it in the holiday pattern!
And if she has big holiday parties, I think that's a great gift for her!

She will love using the holiday pattern for her big parties - does she have other pieces to go with it?

I agree! cause if it were me being practical, I would probably buy the plain ol' general server for myself.
But would love to receive the Christmas pattern as a gift... something I would never do for myself.

I think it's a good idea. Does she have any other pieces with the Xmas pattern? If so, then definitely get that one...if not, either one would be fine.

That's a great idea, that's my mother's Christmas china, she has all the pieces, I try to get her something she doesn't have but it's hard.

Great idea Chat Icon

Very Nice!! I would go with Christmas pattern too. My mom has a set and even though it can only be used for a short time each year, she loves it.
