Should I bring gifts when I will hangout with my boyfriend and seeing his mom the second time and first time for his dad?

I’ve met my bf’s mom and grandma a week ago. I gave them flowers each. We all met in my bf’s grandma’s house. Tomorrow I will be going to my bf’s place (his parent’s house) to hangout with him. I will be seeing his mom the second time and first time seeing his dad. Should I need to bring gifts? If so, what should I bring?

Gift giving is too cringy for me. I think the one thing my sister did that I admire the most is what she did for a secret Santa event, for Christmas at school.

So she knew who she had to buy the gift for. She got the money from my Mom, and bought the gift for herself. She took the gift out of the box, and shit in the box. She then proceeded to wrap this box up as a pretty gift. Yes, the girl actually got her gift... there at school.

Respect... I don't think I'd even be able to pull that one off. Anyways... I don't think I would want a gift. Also, you're running the risk of it becoming expected to provide a gift. So when the day happens that the gift is not given, yet it was expected, your expectations from the gift-giving won't be as expected. Unless you gave them the gift of shit and then anything you do that isn't shitting in a box will probably be considered a good thing.

Yes that's a good idea. What about some special dish that you made?

My boyfriend will pick me up at work so I don’t have time to cook.

Ohh. chocolate truffles? If not diabetic. Whatever I think simple gifts are enough

I thought so too. Thank you

Keep it simple, like a box of chocolates.
