Congrats are in order and the champagne should be flowing, because if you’re searching for what to get your partner’s family for the holidays, your relationship is probably going pretty well.

While it’s a huge step for you and your relationship, it’s enough to make any partner feel a little nervous.

It’s not easy to even find a gift for the guy who’s hard to shop for or the girlfriend who loves taking care of her skin. After all, it’s hard enough to find perfect gifts for your S.O.’s parents when you’ve been together for a while, so finding one to give for your first time meeting is tough to even think of.

Though you could always stock up on Anthropologie candles and call it a day, a memorable first impression might mean that you have to think outside the wick.

To help, we’ve gathered up 13 great gift ideas for your partner’s family that they’ll appreciate and definitely ask your partner to have you back next holiday season.

Take a look below:

Matching jammies to wear around the fire.

Get comfortable with your partner’s family by literally getting comfortable with them. Snatch up some cozy, matching PJs, and the whole crew will be thanking you for keeping them snug after that heavy holiday meal. Don’t forget a matching set for the family pet, too.

A board game to spice up the night.

A person can endure only so many awkward getting-to-know-you convos, but a group game can help break the ice in a fun way. Team up with your S.O.’s mom or dad for a round of Codenames, let Grandma’s army capture Europe in a game of Risk, or see just how crazy your potential future in-laws are with a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity.

A fancy agate cheese board.
