Hello Reddit,So I've been dating my current GF for 2 years now. I don't usually interact much with her parents, but over the past few months I've been seeing more of them so I'd like to get them each a holiday gift. The issue is that they both used to be farmers in China (they actually ended up moving to NYC to have my current GF due to the 1 child policy), and so due to language/cultural barriers, I don't talk or interact with them as much as I would like. My GF sees my family all the time, they always get each other gifts for birthdays, holidays etc., and it sucks that I'm not as close with her parents as she is with mine. I'd love to get them a gift that they would use and appreciate, but it's hard to think of something that I know they'd appreciate. They invited me over for dinner recently which went very well, so I was thinking to offer to take them out to a restaurant of their choosing as a gift (though they don't eat out often so not sure if they'd want to do that). My GF said that they both wanted some cold weather clothing for when they walk the family dog, but every item I show my GF she immediately says "oh they wouldn't like that"...I also asked my GF about things they like to do, to which she responded "all my parents do is work, eat, sleep, and watch Chinese dramas", which obviously didn't serve to help me (lol). I feel terrible that I need to go to Reddit for suggestions on what to gift them (though Reddit never lets me down!) but at this point I feel hopeless...I realize strangers likely won't know what to get them any more than I would, but Redditors always seem to be way more creative than myself. Anyway, thank you for reading and I appreciate any suggestions! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/a446p8/gift_suggestions_for_gfs_parents/?utm_source=ifttt
