What gift should I give to my boyfriend's elders when visiting them?
QuestionerQuestioner:06-21 10:03
This year I am going to meet my boyfriend's parents at his home. I am very nervous. Do I need to buy some gifts? What gifts should I bring? What should I pay attention to after I go?
Best answer

It's actually very simple. When you go to the man's house, you should first establish a good relationship with the men's ladies, such as his mother, sister, and sister-in-law. Smile more and talk less. It's best to find someone you feel closer to and sit next to her. Don't sit opposite them, as that will make you feel like you're being interrogated and put you under pressure.


When you go, just dress neatly and cleanly. There's no need to dress fancy. Be polite, talk to adults about things they like to say, and agree with their opinions. Don't pretend too much, as that will make you look unreal. Be gentle, and keep some reserve, as there will be unexpected surprises!


When you go to your boyfriend's house for the first time, you need to see what kind of people his parents are. If they are average, you can choose to give them clothes. If they are from a public institution, you can give them some tea. Another thing you should do is buy things their parents like. Or buy a razor for his father. If he likes to smoke, buy him a pack of good cigarettes or a pair of leather shoes. If it is winter, buy him a set of thermal underwear.


1. Massager

When people get older, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable. Giving a massager to the elders can show that you are filial and considerate. So I recommend giving a massager as a gift when you meet the elders for the first time. It will not seem real. Be gentle and keep some reserve. There will be unexpected surprises!

2. Tea

Many elders like to taste and drink tea. You can ask your boyfriend first. If your boyfriend's parents are also interested in tea, you might as well buy some good tea for them.

3. Purse

If your boyfriend's father is an official or a businessman, you can consider giving him a wallet. I believe your future father-in-law will like it.

  • This depends on your own financial ability. You can give your boyfriend's mother a necklace or jade bracelet, of good quality; you can give your boyfriend's father a set of purple sand tea sets or tea leaves, or health tonic wine.

  • It is also very important to observe the expressions of others. You should behave according to the expectations of your boyfriend's family. If his family is diligent, then you should also be more dexterous and take the initiative to do the work you can do.

  • I have only heard that the man needs to bring some formal gifts when he goes to the woman's house. It seems that girls don't need to bring too expensive gifts when they go to their future mother-in-law's house. You can bring some specialties from your hometown and a bouquet of flowers to your boyfriend's mother.
