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

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


Flowers for the party would always be appropriate.

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.

Omg don't send her with anything.

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

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