    Meeting boyfriend parents for the second time
    A few more days and I will be going over to see my boyfriend for his graduation (we are in a long distance relationship). I will be seeing his parents and sister again but I have no clue what to buy them as gifts. They are rich and have everything they need so it's a pain to think what to buy for them

    Any ideas? What they might like?

    Just by them something as a token gift. It needn't be a grand gesture. A nice bottle of wine or a box of chocolates goes down a treat, or something for the home like a big candle. At the end of the day, it's the thought that counts!

    Why do you have to buy them gifts?

    Because I don't see his parents often and I thought it would just be polite to give them some mini gifts when we meet.

    :s

    I never buy my boyfriend's parents gifts (except Christmas) and I only see them about 4 times a year (if that.)

    I wouldn't buy anything, especially if they're the kind that is rich and has everything.
    But if you really must, just get some really nice chocolates or bath wash or something.
