Okay, so that time has finally rolled around--the time when I still haven't gotten anything for my girlfriend's mom and step-dad and have no fucking clue whatsoever as to what to get them. They're the only people left on my gift list, and I seriously haven't got ANY idea of what I'm supposed to get them.

Does anybody have anything they give in circumstances such as these that's a little nicer than a gift card and not, you know, one of those prepackaged throwaway gifts from the department stores? I'm really in a bind. HALP.

bottle of wine

Thanks. Yeah, I've considered hooch. My Southern Baptist upbringing has conditioned me against it, but they're Catholics, and they're cool with drinking.

Any other ideas?

nicehooch, you want to set a tone here.

If by "nice" you mean "Wild Irish Rose", then I'm way ahead of you.

Last year I got my gf's parents a bottle of wine and a gift card to their favorite restaurant. They really liked it.

bottle of wine and a nice christmas ornament. blown glass or something unique

12/17/2007 10:21:48 PM

im assuming you already decided against the homemade porno featuring their daughter...so id agree with the bottle of wine

though if you 2 are going to be seeing them over the break, then i would add cooking dinner for them with the wine, gets major points with the mom

12/17/2007 10:40:55 PM

ok how about for parents who dont drink wine?

last year i did the gift card deal.

i may just do it again this year.

Some nice chocolate for the mother and a necktie for the father.

Boyfriend's parents are getting pretty much the same as mine, hot tea and home made hot cocoa mix FTW.

I should mention that I brought some wine when I visited them last time, but it didn't really count because it was a bottle my roommate left behind when he moved out (Qupe Syrah, I checked and some magazine rated it the best syrah under $20 so I brought it with me).
