how much would you spend?

[George]

if you had to see your very new partner's parents/family over christmas, how much would you spend on gifts for them? would you get them individual presents or something like a big box of choccies to share?

Nothing really. Giving gifts in this case is a form of bribery in order to get the parents acceptance. But, for the sake of peace the usual stuff.

I would not see it as bribery, I would see it as more courteous especially if you were meeting at their house

i've gone for a largeish box of chocolates, not too big that it looks like showing off but bigger than average.

I always made my in-laws tablet, a Christmas cake, treacle toffee, cranberry and white chocolate biscuits and biscotti and a bottle of wine, all wrapped up in sparkly paper.

You can be my DiL.....love tablet!
