Besides gift cards, electronics, electronic-related stuffâ¦
Answer
It really depends on how well you know them. I would think a gift card for gas or a restaurant would be the best because then they could take a date out for a nice evening.

What gifts should I bring for the parents in a Vietnamese family that doesn't drink?
Non-Rednec
I am going to Ho Chi Minh City to meet a Vietnamese girl that my friend introduced me to. I will meet her family and understand that it is a custom to give gifts when meeting them. The problem is the traditional gifts for the men (alcohol and tobacco) won't work in this situation as the family doesn't drink or smoke.
Any suggestions on gifts that I could give to the parents (both her mom and dad) and maybe her grandmother?
Answer
I was born and lived in Vietnam for 12 years, and have traveled back twice in the past 3 years. From my experience and talking to neighbor, anything made in Europe or US is a great gift. Make sure the item is not made in CHINA as they are considered poor quality and cheap. A big box of good chocolate, electronics, fancy cookies, cookwares ( avoid knives because some Vietnamese considered the act as cutting all ties), watches (Guess, CK, Levis, Tommy... people know those brands), cosmetics (make sure they are made in Europe or US). Money can be given if you know the girl well and consider her family cuz its very awkward to give money as well as the other side will feel awkward receiving. To sums up, food items that are nicely packaged, electronics, jewelry (does not have to be extravagant) or everyday house items you might find in target or macy's. Hopes that helps.
