Good day everyone! Please I need your advice. I’m planning to visit my girlfriend’s parents, and of course it wouldn’t make sense to just show up empty-handed. So I need ideas for gift to take along, something that will be thoughtful, respectful, and well-received. And within the budget of 25k.
What kind of gifts would you recommend that would make a good impression?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

N.B:
1) It's just a personal visit to her parents, just so they can know who their daughter is with. It’s not a formal introduction.

2) We're Yoruba families.

I suggest you go with a fruit basket.

You may also go with a bottle of wine included.

I hope 25k can run this sha

Thank you for your input. I can extend the budget a bit.

If they are not rich and the only money you have for them is 25k, please give the cash to them.

Thanks for your input, sir. They’re an average family, but personally I’m not a fan of giving money as a gift unless it’s tied to something, like contributing to an event. I’d rather go with a tangible gift, and I don’t mind stretching my budget a bit if the 25k feels too small.

You can gift them 25kg bag of rice, vegetables oil and a dozen of red apple. You can get all these with 40k budget.

I once gifted my friend's parents a summer patio insect candle along with a basket of fruit and it went over really well. The candle is a good option because it combines practicality with a touch of thoughtfulness, and that always leaves a positive impression. Plus, who doesn’t appreciate a little protection from bugs during those evening gatherings? It fits nicely within a modest budget too.
