I need gift ideas

[Demosthenes]

I'm going on vacation in about a month, and I will be spending it up in NY with my ex's family (it's less complicated than it sounds). Her parents treat me like their son and shit, and I need gift ideas. I brought them expensive Chocolate last time and before that Very fine wine. I need ideas for a new gift to get them, from all "not a rich man" price ranges. No booze again, I don't want to seem like a one trick pony.

[edit]

They are rather classy, level headed and normal people. They obviously dont expect anything, but I'm basically living with them for a week, and I'll feel like shit if I don't bring anything.

[Devek]

Classy? Not expecting anything?

Donate to a charity in their name. Think about it.

[Demosthenes]

I love you Devek, but no.

[Metah]

A good cigar?

[Demosthenes]

I cannot get her non-smoking parents "good cigars".

[Metah]

Look man, either you smoke or you don't, its 50/50. I went out on a limb, alright!?

How about... a new appliance? A blender or toaster of some sort? Everyone could use some new appliances.

[Remyo]

Art of some sort, or sex games can't go wrong with sex games.

[Elesirdur]

Where do you live? Are there some kind of regional treats or knick-nacks you could bring them?

[Senoska]

Classy? Get them the strongest blackman you can find, they will love you for it.

srsly tho get them a trip somewhere, mr.money.

[6souls]

do they have a turntable/record player? you could go to an antique store and get them a old record that reminds them of their youth.

or

go to a indie unique gift store and pick out something special there.

soy candles, too. show them that you care for their health by getting them clean burning soy candles. no black smoke, no suet. its perfect.

Well, surprise them with a carriage ride, then dinner after. Buys you time with the ex, if you get my drift. Just make sure they don't feed the horses beans, or chili beans. Alternatively, you can replace the carriage with a rickshaw.

[Scythiroth]

Gift card. >_>

[Elesirdur]

Gift card. >_>

"Hi, have something that's less useful than money and can expire. If you need me I'll be fucking your daughter raw from 7:10-7:15 tonight."

Just whatever you do, don't try and impress them by telling the prospective in-laws you've got a house in the Hampton's when you really don't.

Next thing you know you'll be burning down their cabin with carelessly still-lit cigar while your dofus friend goes skinny dipping with his freaky girlfriend.

This made me lawl. 5 minutes of sex ftw.

I'd say if you can cook, cook for them a majority of the nights you stay there. My dad really impresses his in-laws with his cooking and they're always super impressed. Or, if you're good at fixing shit, they'll probably be really grateful too.

Or you can just get em your dick in a box, right?

If they are classy, and like some wines... find a good, mid-price wine. Not your wine in a box, but an actual bottle of good wine. It's a very traditional hostess gift, and shows some class.

[Heian]

Your dick in a box.

[Kurp]

A subscription to The Onion... seriously, that has gone over very well everytime I've done it. I guess it really depends on the people you're giving it to though.

[Demosthenes]

She's the Ex and there are no prospects of getting back together. He parents are almost like parents to me.
I recall saying

Also Sigi, did you even read the OP? I like the indie gift store idea, although they do have more than one turntable record players.

[Bxbaby]

Take them to a Broadway show and dinner in the city.

[Septimus]

A fine cheese sampler. It is the logical progression after chocolate and wine.
