[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or buy the guy a toolset (but again bring him just a card).  People are suggesting gifts if you were invited to the BF’s grandma’s party.[/quote]

This man already has tools.

A card is appropriate or something like a small box of candy. A card by itself is best.  Absolutely no plant or flowers.  Think of your husbands.  Would they want these from a 15 year old girl? No, they would take the box of candy and later let the entire family eat it, which is fine.  [/quote]

As the "50 year old man" in this equation:

1.  I have tools but lose them constantly...I don't need another toolset (though come to think of it, I do need one of those cheap micro-tool sets with teeny flat head and philips head screwdrivers), but I can never have too many;

2.  Nobody is coming up and presenting me with gifts or a card...there is a table in the entryway and people put something there if they want when they walk in the door.

3.  My kid's GF should not give any gift that is reasonably given on Valentine's Day...that includes flowers, candy, homemade cookies, etc.  A cactus or other random plant doesn't necessarily meet this definition but is sufficiently strange and unwanted.

4.  I don't expect her to give anything and if after the party is over and I am opening cards or gifts, it is fine to see a comical birthday card from her...but by no means would it even register if I received nothing
