In Jewish culture, there is a great emphasis on respecting and appreciating our parents, and often we hear from our thoughtful brides-to-be inside Smashing The Glass’ Brides Club wanting to know where they can find some gorgeous, personalized ‘thank you’ gifts for parents and in laws.
So we thought the topic deserved its very own post. Here are some of our favourite finds to inspire the perfect ‘thank you’ gift for the amazing people who raised you. We hope you find exactly what you’re looking for here, or that the ideas lead you to your ideal find.

For mums with style, this chic ‘maman’ necklace by our fabulous Recommended Vendor, Litzi, is a perfect choice.
