Okay, so i am going to Kansas at Christmas to meet my mans family for the first time. I have never met anyones parents. I am a hippie chick canadian, and he is a sexy american in the US Army. I am so nervous because i love him to pieces and i really want to make a good first impression on his family, since i do plan on marrying this man! Since it is Christmas and his mom is inviting me to her place for a week, i want to get her something for Christmas and to thank her for her hospitality... I dont know what to get her!! Any suggestions?? I am not rich, but i want something thats not cheap and looks thoughtful. Also, on a side note, what do you think are the chances that shes gonna make us sleep in seperate rooms? I mean he is 33! Have a great day!!!

you sound like a book i just read new one by di morrissey, called the islands. it's set back in the 70's round hawaii. it's well worth the read. as for presents, ask your man about what his mum likes. maybe he should go shopping with you so he can help pick the present, then you have a better chance of her diffently liking it. or what about something home made, if you can do craft like a cross stitch. best of luck and have a good time

Thanks for the suggestions!! i would definitely take him shopping with me, but he is in Washington right now and im in Canada!! I think i will just outright ask him, although i foresee him telling me to not get her anything and that his mother wont expect me to bring anything or something like that. But i will just do it anyways lol Thanks again for your help!~
