The time for gifts has not yet reached. Go empty handed since this is the first time. Study them, appraise their environment then strategise for subsequent visits
actually he does needs to go with something to show intent, its in the Igbo traditional way :-)

Typically a carton of drink will do. I don't recommend giving cash atalls. The drink is not to show that you are wealthy, it just to show "amam ihe" ie wisdom.

I am speaking from my several exoeriences as an Igbo boy. That drink shows an intent as it is done in the Igbo land.

Just make it simple this time: Assorted wines for her dad and give the mum some cash in an envelope when leaving the house; anything like 30k - 50k is ok for now. Don't be too flamboyant with cash this period even if you can afford it. Give the siblings a token too.

Goodluck!

30k-50k ?
Is that the bride price?

A good but not soo expensive wine and some nice " high target "wrapper 6 or 12 yards should be more than enough.

If you want to go further, get 2 bottles of wine : 1 alcoholic & 1 non alcoholic wine.

With all these replies, no one has really said something tangible. Nairalanders, must you always joke with everything? Op, my advice to you is that you shouldn't buy to impress them. Instead get them what you can afford. Because if you get them expensive items now, they will always expect expensive things from you in the nearest future. That is if you would even be accepted by them.
Re: Visiting My Fiancee's Parents For The First Time, What Should I Buy For Them? by 36STATES: 1:48pm On Jun 02, 2018
A bottle of brandy for the father and 5k envelope for the mother or a bottle of brandy and bottle of wine for the family... both options depends on the financial position of the family.

Don't show too much money if you don't have it, don't raise their hope too high.
Also weigh the family well financially. If they are wealthy or ok, just play the good son in-law card, if they are not, show them you can
contribute your quota and forming a bond with her mom quickly can help tremendously.

BTW: If the papa of the girl na the type wey sha-prapra, buy two dozen 'sachets' of Chelsea dry Gin for him and buy a bottle of same thing for the mother!

Otherwise, if dem be S.U, just buy one Hym book for the man and one head tie (the S.U types) for the woman.

Is it a must to bribe buy something for the parents? If they already know you are spending on the daughter.... then they should be happy to welcome you with or without gifts...but what do I know?
If you believe you must take a present...then you should first learn what they like from the daughter. Why buy wine...only to find out then the father hates alcohol with a passion?

I will advice you not to buy them any gift since you are going there for the first time, though some family are too expectant/demanding but it's advisable not to buy anything for the parents, it's the first meeting.
Just get something like gift or cash for her younger ones, that will create an impression that you're caring.

Even if we no tell you, shey you no dey watch home videos ni.
First meetings are for familiarization***

After reading about death in marriages everyday, you still want to trade this path? Are you prepared for the worst? The road is rough o.. Anyway I wish you best of luck and a safe journey. Have a smooth ride bruv.

Now for what to buy;
Get a quality wrapper for her mom or ask your fiancée what her mom likes.

Then for her dad, if he's a traditionist buy one bottle of hot drink and a good staff with a pair black shoe and a quality black trouser. But if the man is a churchy person buy a quality wine (non alcoholic) and a good quality suit for him..

Ps; make sure to put some money in an envelope for her mom o. Women like money and that old woman will never stop thanking you for that money..
