What gift should I give to my elders when I meet them for the first time?

Questioner：11-05 11:06

I have been dating my girlfriend for three years. Next month, I will go home with her to meet my elders. This is the first time I will meet these two elderly people. What kind of gift should I give them? Please recommend something.

Best answer

When you meet elders for the first time, you don’t know their needs and preferences well enough, so you often feel at a loss as to where to start when giving gifts. If you have a general understanding of their living habits, actual needs and personal preferences before giving gifts, it will be more effective. You can ask your girlfriend to help you with this.

1. Health gifts:If the elder you are meeting is a person who pays attention to health care, then the first choice is to recommend health gifts to him. For example, foot baths, massage chairs, sleeping pillows and foot massage pads, etc., can all relieve fatigue and pain, maintain health care, and protect the health of the elders.

Second, thoughtful gifts:For most elders, they don’t like fancy and high-end gifts, but thoughtful gifts are more popular with them. For example, a warm scarf, a thermos cup, a Chinese-style blessing ornament, these gifts are full of human touch and will make them feel the warmth of their loved ones.

Third, practical gifts:Many elders are relatively frugal, they prefer practical gifts that are tangible and can really spend money on the right things. The editor believes that the most representative of this type of gift is household appliances, such as smart mopping machines, automatic dishwashers, soybean milk machines, rice cookers, etc. No elder will refuse such a labor-saving and worry-free gift.
