I know she enjoys champagne, based on our previous conversations. Should I buy her a nice bottle of champagne or stick with the more traditional flowers. What are your thoughts?

Let me say she is a really lucky lady to find a nice guy like you. I would say give her flowers likes some carnations w/one rose in it. When yall are out to eat order the best bottle of champagne or wine for her. I hope everything goes well for yall.

Kudos to you for wanting to bring her a gift in the first place!
You can't go wrong with the traditional gifts (flowers and/or chocolates). She'll be delighted with either because it's thoughtful if not creative.
Stay away from the champagne at first. It might send her the wrong message. Besides if she's really a champagne buff then it's unlikely you'd be able to select a bottle that she really likes.
Also, best to stay away from anything that she would wear (clothes, accessories, perfume, etc.) You probably don't know her well enough to know what she likes, and some women are VERY particular about this stuff. Also you don't want her thinking that you think that she's not beautiful enough already.
If you want to be creative and thoughtful, maybe you can find a gift that relates to another interest of hers (maybe a movie DVD, gives you an opportunity to set up a second date)
One last thing. In addition to a tangible gift, make sure you compliment her appearance. "You look great" is nice, but be specific, "I love what you've done with your hair" or "I like your shoes, they match your purse perfectly".
Good luck.

well, do keep in mind, its your FIRST DATE!!! Don't be stupid and go extravagant..b/c if you do, she's going to expect "nice" things all the time, (flowers won't cut it anymore) and if you 2 don't work out, youre just going to feel stupid for wasting all that money. Stick to tradition or......if you've learned anything at all about what other things she likes do that! Champagne or jewelry is not the way to go on the first date, plus it makes you look CHEESY! A REAL single FULL BLOOM rose and an activity are really more of the way to go, I mean you're one paying for everything else going on.....If she wants champagne...take her to a restaurant and order it...maybe a couple dates down the road have a dinner at home and THEN bring champagne, or heck bring a nice dessert treat for 2 on the first date.....something sweet for starters! NO CHAMPAGNE BRINGING buddy! Unless you like being labled MONEY or CHEESY

I would probably wait at least one more date before you bring over some champagne; I think that is kind of a gift you wait to bring until you will be enjoying it together.
If you've met this girl already and talked a few time, then I would bring some simple flowers; however, don't bring the ordinary Shaws/Star Market $6 bundle...bring something different like one big sunflower or an orchid of some sort. She'll recognize the uniqueness.

I think both is a little much...too heavy. If you go for flowers I think you should shock her...no roses, no daisies....pick the most beautiful out there, how do you pronounce that? flowers you can find. Really make a statement with them. CHAmpagne is always good, but still really kinda boring...maybe chanpagne with a silly card attached, or a six pack, something to break the ice. I think a good laugh or a unexpected surprise impresses a girl more than guys remember.

First date? I'd say bring flowers and then if you are going to dinner, order champagne. I would read into a gift of champagne too much on a first date.

How about a Wonderful meal, with some Great Wine and/or Champagne. And have the Flowers delivered to her whilst seated with You at the Table(Lilllie's are always Beautiful-Avoid Roses,too Cliche)

I'd say if you've had previous conversations in which she mentioned a liking for chamagne and you that stands out in your mind, I think it might be really sweet to bring her a some. Especially if you tell her that you were thinking of bringing her flowers but recalled her liking for champange and so you thought you'd bring that instead. It shows you were listening when she was talking and that you cared enough to remember. I think that is thoughtful and great. Maybe you could even bring her a single flower (could be a rose but doesn't have to be. If you do choose a rose though, I wouldn't go with red. Maybe yellow. Or it could be an orchid, a tulip, whatever you think she'd like or whatever most reminds you of her). Anyway, I'm starting to babble now so must be time to just say...good luck and have a good time.

I would avoid material things on the first date. The best "gift" on a first date: be a gentleman. Be on time. Smile! Look great. Open the doors for her, etc. Just focus on having a great time. Be funny and be yourself. Flirt. Pay attention when she's talking, and if she's actually interested. If there's a connection, give her a short and soft kiss at the end of the date.
