the point is not how much money is spent the thought, time and consideration taken to decide what gifts to get.

Excellent point. I hadn't even thought about that.

Wait, what? I know you aren't "in" to Christmas or whatever, but do you ever get people gifts? Do you go around handing out wads of cash for every birthday/Father's Day/etc? How can you possibly be anything other than socially retarded and not realize that giving gifts isn't about the price tag?

Anyways, I'd recommend getting a couple nice bottles of wine. If they don't drink that much, get them a nice bottle and one of those sausage/cheese/fruit gift baskets. If they don't drink at all, get them a really nice gift basket.

DrVanNostrin,

There's no way they expect you to buy them each a gift.

Thanks to all for the good ideas. I'll go with something cheap and simple like coffee or wine or something.

(who I get along well with)

This is very important, imo, at the beginning of a relationship. Especially when within close proximity of said family. Buy gifts for them.

The best ideas are clearly to get some good chocolates, a decent bottle of wine and some tea, bath items or a game/toy/DVD for any younger siblings that exist. You can do this for less than $80 and it's pretty much foolproof.
