What gift would you bring your boyfriends familiy?

A fruit basket would be nice... or something you baked like a cake, an apple pie or some cookies.

Since your boyfriends family is in another country, take them something from your hometown. A nice candle (not a Yankee candle, they are so nasty) it's small, and can pack easily... Local favorite easy to travel with food. Wine is good, but hard to travel with...

Then when you get there you can pick something up. Flowers are the best I think. They are fresh, pretty and if they don't like them they die within a week!

Just make sure that whatever you bring, have a little story to go with it...like, "These candles are handmade by the Amish people near where I live." It gives interest in the gift and can help start a conversation! Which is something you were interested in anyway!

If they drink then a bottle of wine actually might be a good idea but be SURE that they drink first. If they don't then ask your boyfriend what he thinks that they might enjoy. If he is introducing you to his family then he is on the way to making a SOLID commitment with you so don't worry about trying so hard. His mind is obviously made up. Congrats.

Especially if it's your first time meeting them, I would go with a nice medium-sized bouquet of flowers...from a good florist, not the supermarket! Though not in a vase, because then they have the pleasure of assimilating the flowers into one of their own treasured pieces that fits their tastes. I think this is always a thoughtful way to say "thank you for inviting me into your home." And sure to win points!

I suppose really, it depends on what you are going there for. Is is a simple introduction?, a special introductory meal? or are just going round for tea and to say hello? Its a lovely idea to take something but a small token of goodwill is suffice. You could take a small plant, a nice box of biscuits, or even a box of roses or quality street. That way you would probably all share them together, you included.

Bake something. Don't take wine, they might think you're an alcoholic. Pick up some cookies from a bakery or something like that if you don't like to cook. That's what I would do.

I wouldn't bring wine unless you know for certain they drink. Flowers are nice for the mother...a plant is nice for both :)

if they both enjoy wine, go with that! i think flowers are more for his mother to enjoy. I would go w/ baking something sweet or get them a yummy box of chocolates!

A plant might be your best bet. Or do what I do.. go straight for the stomach. Bring a dessert!! Good Luck sweetie.

Bottle of good wine or something from the pastry shop should be good.
