My mom and I always make a tonne of Christmas candy, and I had never met my boyfirend's mother and only met his father a couple of times, so I sent (they live far away) a big tin full of Christmas candy for their family....gingerbread men, shortbread, gumdrops, caramels, fudge, all sorts of stuff. His mother was really impressed, and his father and brother enjoyed it, too
. We'd been going out for about a year and a half at the time.
