Entering the family of their second half, girls wonder what to give the parents of a young man at the first meeting and on all subsequent visits. Indeed, inappropriate gifts can ruin the relationship between the future daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, so it is worth preparing in advance.
Try to pick up gifts for the parents of the future husband with him. Of course, there are men who do not understand their mother's tastes at all and do not delve into the intricacies of their father's hobbies. You will have to rely on your intuition, observing some of the nuances of choosing gifts for the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Presentations for the first meeting
If you are preparing to visit their home for the first time, you need to carefully consider what to give the young man's parents. However, in such a situation, they will not judge you strictly. The main thing is to put your soul into a gift.
It is most reliable to start from the hobby and taste of the potential father-in-law and mother-in-law. For example, give your mom a potted houseplant, a needlework kit, a colorful cookbook, or an artwork from her favorite writer.
Dads can most often please with a box of cigars or a stylish lighter, cufflinks, watches.
If you want to make a gift to both parents at once, bring something made with your own hands. For example, a cookie or pie. Flowers and a bottle of wine are perfect for such a present. Of course, if the boy's father and mother drink alcohol.
If you did not manage to find out from your beloved what his parents like, rely on your hobby. Bring them something to remind them of you. A hand-knitted blanket or shawl for the mother, slippers for the father, an embroidered wall panel or hand-painted dishes.
Gifts for family holidays
When choosing gifts for the parents of the future husband, consider the reason. For a birthday, it is necessary to divide presentations for women and men. One generic gift can be given for the wedding anniversary.
A potential mother-in-law can be presented with expensive perfume (if you know her taste and in the absence of allergies), cosmetics, beautiful accessories - gloves, a hat, a bag, a purse, jewelry. The gift does not have to be expensive, the main thing is that it is individual.
Be sure to remove the price tag from the box and accompany the present with at least a short note on a bright postcard. In this way, you will express your respect to the groom's mother, and your gift will not be official.
Choosing a gift for dad is a little more difficult, so call the guy for help. To emphasize your almost kinship bond, present the future father-in-law with an item of clothing, for example, a pullover or scarf, perfume, weapons, fishing equipment, or a car accessory.
On the wedding anniversary, the groom's parents can be presented with a family album, already filled with photographs from their youth, images of your chosen one in childhood and you with him. This will subtly emphasize your connection to their family.
