i have been dating a guy for about two months, and i just met his parents right before easter. his mom made me an easter basket so that i would have a gift while i was there too. it was hardcore sweet. but because she did that, i have my own little dilema now. the parent's anniversary is on friday, and i was wondering if i should get them something. like flowers or a card. or just tell sam (my boyfriend) to wish them a happy anniversary from me. would it be too forward to give them a card or gift? i need advice from whoever wants to give it.

Just get them a card.
It's a kind gesture and you can't go wrong.
Unless they LOVE trees and HATE cards.

i'd give a card or something sentimental or whatever.

i find it strange that other people are expected to celebrate your anniversary. i suppose it's different culture but do you guys generally celebrate other peoples anniversary or just parents? having said that a nice gesture is a nice gesture - it cant go wrong. get a card.

no, it's other people's as well, here's the traditional gift list:
Wedding anniversary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think just the big ones are the ones important to celebrate (e.g. 25th anniversary.)
but like everyone else in the thread has said, I think a card would be just fine.

I once brought an amazing little applepie to my bf parents and they gave me half of it back, I was kinda insulted by that, Imean its a tiny fucking applepie, the bf could have eaten it by himself

i always just sign my name to the cards the boy gives.
he does the same when it's something with my family.

Maybe you can fuck traditional and just piss in their pot plants as a sign of affection?!

Nothing says you care like steaming wee.

Totally appropriate to get them a card and some flowers.

I know it probly seems like a nice gesture, but if I was unfortunately the parents I would think you were weird because you have been with the boy for about a second. Maybe just stay clear of the house for a week so the drama will be avoided and forgotten within a week.

do the card thing - just don't have loud sex in their spare room when we didn't want the two of you staying there anyway... xx

see. one of the issues is that he doesn't live with his parents anymore. and the reason i asked is because i don't want to seem weird, but i don't want to miss a good opportunity to make a good impression. grrr. its a tough call.

I really don't think it's a tough call at all. You met them. I presume that he asked you to meet them even if you have been together for two months. I realize that you worry about trying too hard, but a card and maybe flowers would be very sweet. Maybe even something like, 'It was nice meeting you a few weeks ago. Congratulations on your anniversary. Love, so and so' See? That isn't weird.

yeah a card would be fine - like pablita said, a simple but nice message.
i guess if you wanted to go a bit further you could bake something as well, make like youre a regular baker and it would look like you didnt go to too much effort.
then you'd have to keep up the charade of being a regular baker.
which might be a little time-consuming and if you're not that good at baking to start with might not be the smartest idea.

what this lovely young lass said

i would just do it.

and if they get weird about it, start giving them cards for everything. arbor day, national holocaust remembrence day, etc. then they'll just think you're one of those obnoxious greeting card and precious moments character collector types.

please dont ever care for me
