You got good practice in beforehand </p> <p>I didn't want to get too personal or anything, but I have had quite a few 'Ruby Ridgers' in my life... people scandalised by yoga... so thus my associations with elephants and unwanted discussion... ahem. I'd laugh but... Ok, yeah, I'll laugh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847446 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 02:39:42 +0000 Sandy 1847446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again ladies thank you. I'm not offended by the accusations, tough skin thanks to my mother-in-law but all I was seeking was advice.&nbsp; Thank you for those who gave it to me.&nbsp; I'm going to run the skyline gloves by my husband when he gets home. Also, I don't see elephants being political either or religious (although I know it is in the Hindu religion) I don't think a Christian would be offended, but I could be wrong so I'll go the safe route like suggested.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847418 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 01:26:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1847418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://glovesit.com/blogs/news" rel="nofollow">https://glovesit.com/blogs/news</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847331 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 21:04:39 +0000 The Cat 1847331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder why Sandy didn't answer Ryce's question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847329 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 21:01:15 +0000 Liz 1847329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I doubt they were "chosen." I'm guessing that long-ago political cartoons or mud-slinging or something were behind the genesis of the symbols. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847325 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 20:57:43 +0000 Jenni NZ 1847325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Liz! I had no idea. I had to google what the GOP was, as well, during your elections last year. Funny animals to choose- a donkey?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847324 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 20:54:59 +0000 Liz 1847324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ryce and Delurked, yes, a creative bit of marketing going on here. </p> <p>@Jenni, at some point, the unofficial symbols of the two current U.S. political parties became the donkey (Democrats) and the elephant (Republicans). I'm sure Wikipedia knows the history of how that happened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847313 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 20:18:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 1847313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of interest, as not part of your culture, how could elephants possibly be political? To me they are an amazing animal and/or something Thai, as often in Thai designs, and we saw some on holiday in Thailand. I'm clearly missing some political nuance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847275 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 17:21:31 +0000 Sandy 1847275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you guys so much for the feedback!&nbsp; It seems like the Skyline might be the best option.&nbsp; Maybe I'll just get the elephant one for myself And if anyone else feels differently please don't hesitate to let me know.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847212 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 14:02:48 +0000 Anonymous 1847212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skyline. As a Christian woman, I would never wear that themed glove. Elephants...they would signal political affiliation for many. Not a good conversation starter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847189 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 13:05:13 +0000 delurked 1847189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought echoed Ryce here...but admit it's more creatively done than usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847178 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:27:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1847178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love using her internet history to figure out gifts! Now I just have to figure out how to get my sisters to use my computer/give me passwords for theirs...</p> <p>JennNZ makes a good point about possible implications of the xtian graphic, but maybe religion is something you agree on and it ties you both together. You don't say how you narrowed down your choices, but if you haven't done so already, then you should probably look at each of these with as cynical an eye as possible, asking what possible connection could be construed. </p> <p>Good luck with the MiL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847154 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 11:34:29 +0000 Bijou 1847154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NYC skyline - I think this is a great option given her love of the city! A thoughtful gift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847141 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 11:09:56 +0000 Anonymous 1847141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just curious, Sandy, what your relationship to this company is? Because it certainly seems a bit coincidental that you would join this forum and within minutes initiate a post containing three links to some obscure fashion-related product. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847136 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 10:41:32 +0000 RD 1847136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go with the NYC skyline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847129 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 10:11:42 +0000 Sisi 1847129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skyline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847126 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 09:57:02 +0000 Kathie 1847126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the elephant the best, unless you're worried about political implications. It's fun. The NYC skyline is a close second- I'd like it better without the EKG aspect, but that part is subtle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847122 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 09:18:42 +0000 bella 1847122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also see the NYC skyline as the safest, least offensive option. Who knows what elephants might conjure up in her mind? :)&nbsp;<br />Also, aesthetically,I like that option the best as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847112 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 07:55:31 +0000 Jenni NZ 1847112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a previous practising Christian ( no longer) I'd avoid those because of the fight you had. I just think it could have hidden meanings suggested even if not meant ( "if you'd be a better Christian you wouldn't say such offensive things!") Therefore I am with Rachy. Actually I also think the NYC skyline is the coolest of the 3. Surely she would like it? Good on you for trying to make amends. I bite my tongue with my MIL all the time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847108 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 05:24:12 +0000 Sandy 1847108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachylou, I don't necessarily want to go safest although it's not bad advice.&nbsp; Let's see if others are in agreement with taking a safe approach.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847104 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 05:09:38 +0000 rachylou 1847104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lean towards the NYC skyline as the safest... Is she so vibrant she'd sport elephants? I'm a little leery of the elephants because of religion, and likewise the Christian gloves... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-advice-for-my-mother-in-law#post-1847103 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 04:59:15 +0000 Sandy 1847103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my attempt to get an objective opinion on a gift being used as a peace offering to my mother-in-law. She's a vibrant woman, full of opinions which can sometimes be offensive. One statement in particular sparked an emotionally aggressive response on my behalf. &nbsp;</p> <p>I would like to make amends for the sake of my marriage, and sanity. My husband noticed a recent website my mother-in-law visited several times while he was using her laptop:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.glovesit.com/">https://www.glovesit.com/</a>&nbsp;.&nbsp; </p> <p>She surfs the web often but refuses to purchase in fear of her information being stolen.&nbsp; My husband sneakily takes the sites she frequents and buys her Christmas Gifts, Mother's Day Presents, and wins her over with restaurants she's always wanted to go to on birthdays.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is my chance to do the same.&nbsp; The website has beautiful leather gloves which I personally have not seen anywhere else.&nbsp; That woman does have an undeniably good fashion sense.&nbsp; I just don't know which pair would bring about a truce.&nbsp; That is where you come in...</p> <p>Christian Gloves?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://glovesit.com/products/cross-embroidered-leather-gloves">https://glovesit.com/products/.....her-gloves</a>. She is a Christian woman, doesn't go to church every Sunday but has a bible in her nightstand.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>NYC Skyline Gloves?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://glovesit.com/products/nyc-skyline-heartbeat-embroidered-leather-gloves">https://glovesit.com/products/.....her-gloves</a>.&nbsp; She has a NYC skyline painting above her mantle and she's never let go of a kiss she once had at the top of one of the twin towers.</p> <p>Elephant Gloves?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://glovesit.com/products/elephant-embroidered-leather-gloves">https://glovesit.com/products/.....her-gloves</a>.&nbsp; It's her favorite animal and the gloves themselves are beautifully mastered.&nbsp; I'm leaning towards getting a pair for myself also.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've narrowed it down to those three and would like your opinions on which pair of leather gloves you think she would like best.&nbsp; Any advice is fully appreciated.&nbsp; </p>
