How about a gourmet food basket from Hickory Farms....
Hershey also sells gift baskets... kinda a step up from a box of chocolates. Both are sold on their Web site Also, there is that Edible Arrangements. They have a site too. |

when you first see them
look into their eyes give a face of joy and excitement ask them if they're excited that they're going to be grandparents if they're jaws drop, laugh it off and say "just kidding, i got it aborted last week" those are memories they will never forget -------------------- |

QUOTE (Inferia @ Jan 27 2009, 05:21 PM) Hmm, I need something a little less personal. They're "country folks" (not exactly, I'm not sure how to describe them), I'm not sure if wine from where I'm from is too uppity. I think they'd appreciate something a little bit more "down home". Cookies. -------------------- |

QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Jan 27 2009, 04:26 PM) If you want to go the food route, I'd recommend giving them something you've made yourself, e.g. cookies or banana nut bread. QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Jan 27 2009, 06:04 PM) hosue plant. or homemade cookies/other desert. Nope, you're the copycat. I was just reiterating.

I got some chocolate from a local chocolate shop and a couple of dog treats.
Anything else I should know about meeting the rents? I kinda figured it's no different than meet anyone else, but it still feels awkward to be in a house full of people who all know each other. -------------------- I go to the maize and blue

Just relax and be yourself. Ask your bf what you should expect.

Probably a lot of questions on me being chinese, I'm not sure if I want to do that. I don't particularly want to be viewed as chinese, but more of as a person, if you know what I mean. I'm not sure if anyone on this board would have experiences with that.

Gong Xi Fa Cai. Talk about being American if they ask about it, since you are. They might just be curious about or something. On that subject, do your parents know you're dating a non-Chinese guy?

Thank, happy niu year (
) Yeah, they do, they've met him over christmas. I'm just worried that this meeting will be really weird, we're sorta the black sheep of the family.
