1. Fruit category
Giving fruits is a must-have gift, whether it's visiting relatives or meeting your girlfriend's parents. You can choose an exquisite fruit basket with a wide variety of fruits and generally good quality, which also gives you face when holding it.
2. Smoking and alcoholic beverages
Regardless of whether the girlfriend's parents smoke or drink, cigarettes and alcohol are gifts that boyfriends must bring. Total tobacco and alcohol consumption is a major characteristic of gift giving in China, and it is also an essential gift for all ceremonial exchanges. Boys can consult their girlfriends in advance about their fathers' preferences for tobacco and alcohol brands, in order to demonstrate their attentiveness and win the hearts of their girlfriends' fathers.
3. Health products
Girlfriend's parents must also be elderly elders, so boys can bring some health products when meeting their girlfriend's parents for the first time to show their filial piety. Boys can buy some bird's nest for their future mother-in-law and some cordyceps for their future father-in-law, both of which are good choices for health products.
