DP AND I have been dating for 2 years in Feb .
The last 6 months I've got to know his parents who live a 3-4 hr drive away .
His siblings live in various parts of the world along with young nephews x 4.
So Boxing Day I'll be meeting the whole family together for the first time as all coming to UK for Christmas .
I'll be staying for a few days and would like to bring a gift but feel I don't know them well enough to buy individually ( have met his brother as well as parents but not many others who will be there ) .
I'd just like to pick something tasteful but that maybe is enjoyed by everyone ?
I'd really appreciate any ideas please ?
TIA x

Cinema voucher so you can all go out for a treat?
Chocolates or board games

If they are game types take a board game. Or a film to watch together?
But best bet a nice hamper of chocolates wine cheese and popcorn/ sweets for the kids.

Most definitely a board game that everyone can play. Family Trivial Persuit is food as it has childrens and adults cards. Shout is another good game. A game, a tub of chocolates.

Oh and do watch The Family Stone on Netflix

Nice tin of biscuits/sweets, bottle of wine /baileys for the adults hot chocolate with marshmallows for the kids.

I think a hamper is the best idea. How Old are the kids? Board games are a bit risky if they aren’t the type or if the already have the set games they play. What about a silly short kid focused game like monkey mania, or the splat in the face (?) game.

A gentle amount of pressure, I'd say.
