Just set up time for a nice dinner and let them know. A gift to me feels weird - you’re doing them a courtesy by letting them know already in advance, a gift feels like a dowry
I waited until my girlfriend (now wife) was at the movies with her sister. Guaranteed to not come home early and nobody would be texting her

Write them a $10k check
Ha ha I thought this was going to be a work proposal 😂 I set up a FaceTime as we were in different countries

Also highly dependent on where your partner is from.
You want to be respectful of their culture so I’d do some research.
But I’d say the safest way is to take them out for dinner.
I made up a cover story that I needed to help my pops with something. Drove a couple hours to take the now in-laws out to lunch. Father in-law feigned ignorance but quickly broke the act and gave me a hug and his gratitude. It’s a good memory for me.
Took them out to brunch. No gift, but paid for the meal. Asked for their support, vs. blessing or permission.

I didn’t. My wife probably wouldn’t have said yes if I thought I needed her parents’ blessing/approval since we’re both adults with agency.

First I thought it was a work proposal. Then I thought you were referring to your project partner. Yeah, I need to quit
I didn't know people still did this, feels like a time warp! Crazy.
It isn’t a permission thing anymore, it’s more a courtesy thing…
Well, I hope so anyway.
Now wife was at work (weekend shift), drove up to her parents with a 6 pack of her dad’s favorite beer and hung out on their deck. Overall pretty casual. I personally think the idea of asking is weird, but knew it was important to my wife and her parents so went with it.
Use her sibling’s help of you can. More effective and efficient.
Don’t ask. This is old school and a bit sexist.
