How well do you get on with your mother-in-law? Is she the mum you never had? Or is she the devil incarnate? Either way, here are 5 suggestions to give her the time of her life (or for you to enjoy yourself). It’ll be a gift she’ll never forget.

Mothers-in-law have a terrible reputation, but let’s face it—some really take the biscuit! That said, we’ve got to respect them and get on as best we can, like it or not—after all, these unique women are our partners’ mothers. Let’s play nice and pretend we’re chuffed to bits. Here are 5 plans that’ll surely give her a surprise she won’t forget.

1. Can You Picture Your Mother-in-Law on a Treetop Adventure Course?

If she’s not afraid of heights, this could be a brilliant way for her to try something different and share a laugh together. She’ll move from tree to tree, reaching platforms via monkey bridges, zip lines, Tibetan bridges, and rope nets. With varying difficulty levels, there’s a course perfect for her—guaranteed fun!

2. How About Rolling Downhill?

Zorbing is one of the trendiest leisure activities lately—and for good reason. It’s affordable, straightforward, and delivers a rush you’d struggle to find elsewhere. She’ll be perfectly safe inside a giant PVC ball, securely strapped in with a harness. (Though maybe pop her a travel sickness pill first—just in case!)

3. Reckon She’d Dare to Try Paragliding?

Age is no barrier to enjoying life or trying new things—flying included. This thrilling sport lets you soak in breathtaking views and unwind with the silence and vistas from above. An instructor will accompany your mother-in-law, putting her mind at ease. She’s in for a treat!

4. Fancy a Scuba Diving Taster Session?

Is your mother-in-law the type who sunbathes on Benidorm’s beaches every year? She might be a sea lover without even knowing it! A scuba diving intro lets her experience underwater life, weightlessness, and breathing beneath the surface—pure magic!

5. What If She Took the Plunge with a Skydive?

Bet she’s never done anything like this before. An adrenaline hit that might just shift her perspective—or even improve her mood! Jokes aside, this is a must-try sport at least once in a lifetime. The sheer thrill is unmatched by anything else on earth. Those will be the most exhilarating 5 minutes of her life!
