need gift help for g/f's parents

[MrDingleDangle]

i need gift help as i am going to my g/f's parents house for chinese new year. I have met them twice before, but they speak very limited english so I dont know them well enough to figure something out

i was thinking a nice bottle of wine, but she says they normally dont drink wine

lol i was thinking wine until you said that last line; thats what i'm giving my good friend's mum for letting me stay at this house for couple of weeks.

maybe a cool book? like a coffee table book- one of those hardcover things?
or...
something from the pottery barn

lol j/k.
I say if they are asian.... then goto a chinese bakery and get some stuff there.

I'm Chinese. I'd say a box of peaches or some other fruit. You've got the right idea.

 

[NutBucket]

MANGOS!!!! well, if you can find them relatively cheaply

 

[alkemyst]

do a restraining order against yourself, and wrap it up in a nice box.

They will be proud and your 'g/f' will be happy, do they know you are coming over yet?
