Gift idea for daughter's boyfriends father

[Anonymous]

I would send nothing—it’s an odd dynamic, like is the dad then going to text your daughter to thank her?

OP here. Thank you for the suggestions! Like what some of you recommended, I might not send her with anything after all. Someone said that she was invited solely to keep their son company and I agree.

+1 it’s not like she is friends with the Dad.

Omg don't send her with anything.

How awkward and embarrassing for the dad if she shows up with a gift.

I don't think it is expected for you to give a present to a boyfriend's! dad!!! Good grief

Gifts are never expected but always classy.

Exactly. The mom, maybe you get flowers. Dads want nothing from their son's girlfriend

A book? One the family might like?

Flowers for the party would always be appropriate.

How about she makes some yummy homemade chocolate chip cookies and takes a small plate with her.
