Rich or poor, a book is the best gift to give anyone
I hate getting books. I like to read, but if I get a book I feel obliged to read it instead of whatever book I really wanted to read instead.
You need to give a budget before real suggestions can be given.
Take her out for coffee sometime, and let her bend your ear and listen to her woes. Being rich doesn't make you happy, but being with a good friend who doesn't hold contemp is a great gift.

I am going to my gf's house for xmas this year. They are loaded. They all have everything they want and need. So what should I buy them for presents. It's even hard to buy for my gf because if she wants anything she just buys it. Really it's her dad buying it, but either way she gets whatever she wants.
Ideas?
Something made of wood, and finely finished.
I guess i have to ask the question, if they weren't rich, would it really make any difference in deciding what to get them? Point being, i don't think their wealth makes any difference in what will be considered a good present verse a bad one. Regardless of their finances, they want assurance that you are a thoughtful, considerate person who will care about their most valuable asset - their daughter.
Hint: have a good time, they will pick up on that and like you.
What the hell is a ‘coy’ fish?

Lol ^ thats really heart warming.
A bottle of unique wine and some interesting cheese and cured meat are the best gifts. For anyone.
Get them a 15$ wedge of Jarlsberg brand Swiss cheese and some dry/hungarian style salami + a nice 20-30$ merlot or a sparkling rosé if the GF say one of the folks doesn't like reds. Bring the food already opened on a nice unique dish meant for them to keep.
That's the best gift anyone could ever give me.
Bailey's is great too.
Ramen.
It's hard to tell not knowing what they are like but overall your best bet is a good book or booze.
If you know about their hobbies you can try to get something custom/made along those lines from Etsy
If you’re meeting them for the first time, then alcohol seems a bit low class. You sound like you’re proud of the fact that you snagged a rich girl, and need to bring your A-game.
I suggest quality tea or coffee. Maybe even coffee beans along with grinder or roaster or something along those lines. A nice pair of socks is always appreciated. A tasteful scarf that you picked out to show you took time out of your schedule to be thoughtful and it will show how discerning you are in your tastes....e.g. are you in the same class. If they have a dog, a smart collar would be appreciated. If she’s Asian in addition to presents bring good quality fruit to give to the matriarch of the family. Find an Asian friend to help you select. If she’s white, try virtue signaling. Like if you have Native American or Latino in your family, let them know that. But if they’re racist or republican then buy something nice for her father’s gun collection if he has one. Overall, parents just want their daughter to bring home a good guy. If you’ve hurt women in the past, then your character will shine through at some point. Your gifts won’t matter. Be moral, be kind, and don’t procrastinate and show up with cheap gifts or gift cards.

Finding something that they like that isn't widely available is always good. Back when I was relatively poor, I'd just pick up something for my parents wherever I went for vacation over the summer. I could get a bottle of wine for $10 or $15, but it would still be a really cool gift because it was from a small producer in Italy or France that only sold their product locally, so they were excited to try something that wasn't available to them even if it wasn't expensive.
Try to spend time with them via a new experience. I'm not suggesting you take them out for laser tag but getting them tickets to something might be a good play.
Otherwise the recommendations for high-end consumables (tea, coffee, cheese, wine) are on point.
If you can find something that they use regularly, that isn't consistent with their level of affluence and replace it with something better, that would be a good gift. For instance, replacing a crappy drip coffee maker with a really nice one.
Don't be extravagant. Maybe some nice handmade ornaments or local crafts from your area. Do things that look like you put thought into them and may be things that a bit harder to find or if travelling do something about your area where GF and you live, etc.

100% this, but only if you're planning to marry this girl.
Get Hunter Biden cocaine and dildo. He likes both very much.
Not sure what you might get her, but i can tell you what not to get her. Do not get your girl friend a Pelotin Exercise Bike. Don't do it. Trust me on this. It will not be received well. No Pelotin for the gf, okay?

Agree. I suggest:
A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn
Capital in the 21st Century, by Thomas Pikkety
Capital: Critique of Political Economy, by Karl Marx
When dad glares at you like an ax murderer, grin broadly and put your hand on your girlfriend's leg.
Few bottles of TRT will make the old man happier than he's ever been.
