I'm meeting one half brother and three half sisters for the first time this weekend, and wanted to bring gifts. Something small, but meaningful? Any ideas? Please help!

thanks for the suggestions; they are all adults, 35-50 yrs old, and I'm 27. Does that help?

Basket of chocolates and goodies that you put together yourself.

Hallmark Gold Crown stores have these metal "rocks" that have little sayings on them and come in a velvet bag. That would be nice because it is something to hold in the hand, very attractive and they could put it somewhere that they can see it, kinda all the things I'm hoping they find in you. Congratulations! Siblings are such a wonderful gift and I'm happy you're meeting them. So cool! Have fun!!

Umm you could try some nice wine or champagne if you of age and they are also. Maybe some gourmet chocolates. Pictures, maybe a computer slide show. Gift cards....... candles, anything that would be considered house warming or suitable for a host/hostess gift.

How about a small photo album of family and friends so they can feel accepted. That way they can learn about their other family before meeting them all. This would be personal an mening ful photos of whjen you were young that way they can compare like ness. I think if I was in your situation this would mean more to me than anything.

Well bring yourself, Bring a pleasant smile and enthusiasm, Give them a hug (the best gift) and a photo album of your childhood definitely - as well as a box of good chocolates (no crap full of jelly) OoO this is so exciting!

it really depends how old they are... for the girls if they are old enough, then makeup is almost always safe, but nothing major just lipgloss or something like that. for boys its always tougher, depending on the age, for younger than like action figures or something and for older like a cd gift certificate or maybe a skateboarding magazine or something. and the easiest thing to do is just get a whole bunch of little things and let them each choose!

how bout something that shows who u are? perhaps ur favorite books growing up, or fave books now, or dvd's.... also, u could burn a cd w/ all ur favorite songs, cuz u want them to know u better. u can make something, or paint something @ Color-me-mine.... hmmm.... a precious moments figurine? they have small ones that are like $25.... or a book about sisters/brothers..... even a personalized card to each one..... i'm sure no matter what u get them, they will appreciate the gesture.

This would be difficult because you don't state their ages. In which case I would go for one gift for all to share...something personal...like you making the effort to make home made cookies from scratch. Put them in a nice tin. It shows sincerity and the fact that you felt they were worth your time and effort.

I suggest you all give them different kinds of stone representing their characters&/personality..it's solid and it's symbolic in a way since a stone represents foundations you all hope to build.It doesn't have to be extremely expensive in kind,it's nothing out of ordinary and it's original..I'm sure they'd cherish those and keep in a box.
Hope for a fine day on your 1st acquaintance.:)

Give them each a red rose with some babys breath wrapped in green tissue from the florist.......a red rose means Love.
