I will spent Christmas with my boyfriend and his parents. Since right now I am working in China and here they sell all kinds of fake bag--Fendi,LV,Ferragamo,Coach... And they look so nice that it's so hard to tell! Is it appropriate to give my boyfriend's mom a fake designer hand bag as Christmas gift? That will be the first time I meet them. What do you think?

don't worry about the appropriate gift or not!! your mum b/f will hate you whatever you buy for her. it is nature!
just be yourself and if you think it is nice, then get it for her. whenever i buy a gift for someone, i think if i like it or not. if its something that i would wear, then yes i'll get it.

Giving her a knock off bag might give her a poor first impression of you. You don't want to have her connecting you with a fake. Try giving her something that is unique to China. An attractive, but not too expensive plate or vase perhaps.

It's not about the gift. People should like you how you are and not depending on the gifts you give them. it's the thought that counts. Don't worry, a nice mom would love it. Oh yeah and make sure you know what she likes and uses because what if she doesn't wear bags.

I think it is fine to give her a fake one They look just as nice without the ugly cost. As long as she likes hand bags I say do it. Besides, it's always the thought that counts and clearly you have put a lot of thought into it.

Its appropriate till you are not making an impression that it is original, or for that matter you are not making an effort to clear the immpression of an original.

I see no problem with it. If she realizes the difference, she'll probably think you weren't able to afford the real thing and she'll appreciate the effort of finding something similar.

Sorry, but no. If you give her a fake, not a real, and she knows/can tell it's a fake it will be saying, "sorry, but you're not worth a real designer purse."

Yes! I think she'll love it. Just give it a good look over, because there are good copies and bad copies.
Good Luck!

No. You shoudn't get her a imitation. It will not seem too sincere. If you get her something you can afford and you are sincere about it, I think she will feel your sincerity and not mind so much about the price of the item.
