Hi all, sorry for any typos, im typing this from my phone.Christmas is here and I really want to give my bf (28m) a trip as one of the gifts. I'd either go on a trip to Europe to watch his favorite soccer team with him for 5 days and do some tourism around there, or go to an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean.I truly want to make this about him and make him happy. I know he'd be happy with either, but I wanted to take him to see his fav soccer team because that's more of a dream of his.The problem is that his family is very close to him, and him and I live 2.5h away from them. His parents and brother are super symbiotic with him, they want to do everything together and spend as much time together as possible. Its suffocating at times... i love them tho! Theyre very sweet to me. Anyway, knowing we love go to on trips, his parents have expressed the desire to go on a vacation with us (i told you, any waking moment they can spend with my bf, they'll take) to go on a cruise or something sunny like that, but no actual plans have been made. Next month we're going to SC and they expressed a sad face when we announced it saying "aww we wanted to go to a warm place with you guys..." basically saying that we planned this without asking them about it. Scoff....Then, here's the real issue. His brother (24) also loves the team. Bf and his brother been to this country in Europe before, but to visit city A, not where the soccer team is based on, lets call it city B. My bf has told me that they have this dream of going back to city A (nothing mentioning city B). Brother doesnt have a gf, so going on a trip the 3 of us would be him thirdwheeling. Or me, as the brother is high maintenance and gets moody if things dont go his way.Anyway. With all this background, I want to get my bf the trip to Europe, but im imagining all these scenarios of drama that the family can create bc Id be taking bf to see europe without even consulting the brother and asking him to come. I honestly dont want him to come. The other side of me tells me to play it safe and just go to the Caribbean and play it like a little romantic honeymoon just to be safe.Help, guys I need advice!!!! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/ee4ejq/gift_of_a_trip_no_idea_what_to_do_kinda_desperate/?utm_source=ifttt
