| So my daughter (15 yr old) was invited to her boyfriend's dad's birthday party. I've never met the parents in person before but I've casually texted with the mom. I feel odd sending her empty handed. What is a good thoughtful gift idea that isn't too much or personal? |

| Maybe some sort of food gift to share? |

| I would not expect a minor to bring a gift for the parents of a boyfriend. But perhaps a card. |

| I like the plant idea. |

| That's really sweet of her - I agree a plant and a card would be nice. |

| Do not bring a gift. She is just joining to keep boyfriend company. The dad does not want a gift from his son’s 15 yr old girlfriend. Adult birthday parties don’t usually involve gifts at all. They are just parties to socialize and celebrate. |

| Candy, or a house plant. |

| Do not send candy or plants. Food such as an appetizer tray is fine. |

LMAO!! A 15 year old gf walking in with a plate of finger foods. She's not a server. Tell me you're joking. |

| I agree that a gift is not necessary. If there is something small and economical that she knows with certainty that he likes, it would be fine to bring that, but a gift for a gift's sake is not necessary. |

| No gift. Totally not expected. |

| I agree that a gift is not necessary but sending her in with a box of chocolates will make both of you more comfortable when she enters the party. |

Plants are NOT a good gift. They require care on the part of the recipient.
She doesn't need to take anything, but if she does, an edible gift like a box of chocolates is better. |
