 |
|
| In about two weeks im meeting my boyfriend of two years parents. Normally in my family when we go over to someones house, we bring a gift of some kind. (usually wine or flowers something of that sort) I just wanted to know if that was appropriate or if i should not bring anything at all. my boyfriend says i dont need to buy anything, but to be honest i feel like im being rude. so should i give them a gift or not? |

| If your a good baker, bake them a dessert. If not, then don't bring wine unless your over 21.... |

| Yes bring them a gift! Even if it is just chocolates. If they are nice people they should appreciate the gesture. |

| Since this a major event in your relationship, you want to make sure to be as comfortable as possible.For you, it sounds like coming without a gift would make you uncomfortable.Chances are virtually nill that there is any way bringing a gift would reflect negatively on you, but if you don't bring one, you will feel that you are being rude, despite what bf says.Bring a gift!!!! |

| Yes get them something, I was taught to do that to any place I go that had to do with meeting anyone the first time. Find out from your boyfriend what kind of things they like and get that for them. |

| it's perfectly acceptable to take a gift to the home of any host. flowers for a centerpiece, wine, a dessert of some kind...any of those are perfect host gifts, and it's also really sweet of you. your parents raised a polite, thoughtful young woman, apparently. there's no harm in taking a small token. just don't go overboard and get something lavish or extravagant. i'm sure they'll love you.good luck! |

| that would probably be a nice token, just don't over do it, don't focus too much on he gift, the parents want to get to know YOU, just be nice, respectable, be yoruself and you should be fine |

| I agree with you, coming with empty hands would be rude. Bring something like good pastry or small cake or pie (not a bottle of wine). This will be an incentive to have a tea-time together and a nice conversation. |

| Yes its very important costume to bring them a gift when i met my ex girlfriend parents i brought them a yak. If don't bring gift it be very big dishonor to the family and to go into house when they feed you and maybe your going sleep there. |
