What Are Some Gift Ideas For Meeting My Girlfriend’s Parents For First Time?
Posted by: akka in Gift Ideas Discussion, tags: First, Gift, Girlfriend's, Ideas, Meeting, Parents, Some, Time, WhatI am meeting my girlfriend’s parents for the first time in under two weeks. I’m not a ‘youngin’, so I have been down this road before, but 20+ years ago.
What are other gift ideas beyond wine and flowers? For further refinement, we are meeting for dinner in a restaurant.

Hey I think you can get them something practical yet personal. For the mom, you can get her a nice pair of gloves. I recommend you check out KinaRosa on Etsy ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/kinarosa ) These gloves are handmade, very high quality. They are unique yet affordable. My mom loves the gloves. I am sure it’ll be a great gift for your girlfriend’s mom since it’s winter time. If you are not sure what color to buy, go for black, chocolate brown or burgundy red. They are safe colors that every woman loves.
For the dad, do you know what he likes? I think it’s always good to go for more practical gifts for men. If he like cigars, you can buy him a nice box of cigars. If he like coffee, get him some good coffee beans. If you really don’t know what he likes, you can get him a nice pen. My dad likes pens from Cross. They are not too expensive, but they are good pens.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your gift searching!
Because you are meeting in a public place, you should not feel obligated to bring a gift. You could offer to pay for the meal or buy a round if you are all comfortable drinking in each others presence, or maybe paying for dessert. If you still feel like taking a gift, as your lady about her parents’ interests and consider books as gifts. They are small and unobtrusive and will not cause a distraction in the restaurant. You could also call the restaurant and ask if it would be okay to bring wine or chocolates.
If you’re meeting for dinner at restaurant, you shouldn’t bring food/drinks for the obvious reasons. Flowers for her mom would be the best in my opinion. If you’re still undecided, don’t bring anything at all but make sure that you make a good first impression by showing them that you have good table manners.
I never heard of bringing anything, they are inviting you to their home for a meet.
So dress like you are a good person, not casual unless this is a picnic, otherwise
slacks, nice shirt and cleaned shoes.
Keep up the conversation and smile
Offer to pay for the meal perhaps.
