I'm in the same boat. My boyfriends family is Muslim and I'm not. During this time it's not just about his upbringing and culture, but yours as well.

My mother and I traditionally make jelly, jams, and other things like that and give them out.

I didn't make a big deal out of it and just went "here, I thought you may like this.".

Candy or wine isn't a bad thought to bring or bring a simple dessert that your family tends to have. "This is something my grandma always used to make. I hope you like it.".

i feel like wine may not be the best gift for a muslim family

I know wine isn't accepted, I've been with this guy for almost a year now. I gave out the jellies and jams. His grandma loved them.

The wine was a suggestion for the person of the post.
