present for gf's parents

[glagic]

i have a feeling that i should be getting my gf's parents something for christmas. any suggestions on what i should get them? my gf and i have been together for 4 months so far.

hmm... have you met them yet? do you get along with them? it really is nice of you to consider them, but personally i think 4 months is a bit early for me to begin considering my gf's parents for christmas gifts... or maybe that's just me... :shrug:

What about taking them a poinsettia (sp?) Or something simple like that? Maybe a holiday scented candle? I wouldn't get too elaborate this early in the relationship.

good suggestion kim! i like it.

it's simple....you don't have to worry about what their tastes are. also, it's kind of a gift for their "house"....so it's not for either one of them in particular. it's generic, yet it says "christmas" -- it's not just useless crap.

so you look polite, thoughtful, and like you have good taste, but not like you're getting a little too excited about the relationship with their daughter

yea...ive met her parents. we get along well i guess. they pick us up from school and bring us back on weekends. they usually ask if i want to tag along with them to get food. i was only thinking something like a gift basket. nothing really big.

the flower idea sounds decent, but i was thinking something maybe a little bit more.

ya, sending a poinsettia for the two will be good. but your gf's mother will probably want some more. so take your girlfriend to victoria secret and have her model some stuff for you. Give the one that looks best to your gf's mom. when christmas rolls around and your gf wants to know where "her" victoria secret stuff is just tell her, "oh, you mean the stuff i had you model? I just needed to see what would look nice on your mom." and she'll understand then she'll say something to the effect of, "I love you*"

Really... I admit I don't understand women that well, but to me that sounds kinda creepy. The important question though is what do the female posters on this board think? :confused:

don't worry, neither does revil :hihi:

btw, i think (or at least i hope) that this was one of his typical evil/hilarious jokes

I would agree with Kim, or a nice gift basket, but make sure it would be with stuff they BOTH like, or if all else fails you can get them like sees candy...hehe

I suggest a poinsetta, chicks dig that, then a nice bottle of bubbly, and if you have a lot of cash a $50 gift card to sears for her dad.

Unless you've proposed already, I suggest a sappy card and *maybe* a poinsetta.

Oh, and while you're alone with her dad, slip him a small bottle of his favorite booze.

I agree with Kim...a really nice plant..you can get the combo" house " gift & not spend a whole bunch of money...a poinsettia like kim said..or a Christmas cactus which will last all year round so they can have to keep way after you break up with their daughter and they'll be able to remember you by ( just kidding ):D
My vote is for a plant ...
Being a parent of two grown children..I'd appreciate one...please send to me right away :P The pink cactus's are beautiful !!
