Re: Gori finally meeting the new Pakistani inlaws to be… gift?
I was in your shoes not too long ago. When my SO took me to meet his parents for the first time (they live in a different state), I asked him to help me pick out a gift for them. Even if not for “them”, I definately wanted to take something at least for his mom. I was super nervous. SO told me how his mom LOVES crystal decorations…especially brand name stuff. So I picked out a decent priced Waterford crystal vase for her with my SO’s help. Gues what? His mom loved it! During that weekend I was with them, my SO told me at one point he was alone with his dad…and his dad told him how much his mom loved my gift. And after returning from a recent visit to his parents, SO told me his mom is keeping my vase in their family room.
Moral of the story: The best person to give you ideas on gifts is your fiance! None of us know your fiance’s family. Every family is different. Your situation is more “delicate” b/c you’re gori and his family is essentially being “forced” to accept you…so you need to be careful not to make any “mistakes”. The salwar kameez idea is brilliant! Ask your SO what he thinks you should take them.
GOOD LUCK!!! Let us know how it goes…
LOL… our desi mums love little crystal things.. especially branded ones
Waterford, Wedgewood.. i dont know many.. but ive heard these names being thrown around. But yeah, u can never go wrong with those kind of things.
