What will she be using it for? If cutting larger strips and pieces, a regular mat would be good. But, If doing a lot of smaller cutting or trimming, a rotating mat is wonderful! And, it is usually that 'treat' buy that we don't get for ourselves!

NZ, I bought the Matilda mat on Craftsy and love it. I'm wondering if maybe it's sold out? I don't know. I got it for half price several months ago.
Whichever one you buy will be a wonderful gift for your MIL!!!
PS. I have the square Olfa rotating mat but I don't like it very much. I like the round one a lot better.

I have the Martelli one and like it but I haven't used it a whole lot. I got the 3 piece set at a show. It wasn't quite as expensive at the show. You could probably get away without the ironing mat part.

One thing to consider is that the square rotating mats have corners that snag things. When this happens you can mess up what you are cutting. Ask me how I know... I have since gone to Martelli's roundabout. This works much better.
