Like flowers, a bottle of scotch, etc.
Any other good pointers for this situation worth sharing?

if you are going to dinner at their house, for example, a gift is not a bad idea, just like you would bring to anyone's house if they were hosting you; whatever you are doing when you meet them, i would bring something appropriate to that event. ie. dinner, something more formal, like liquor, lunch, something more informal, etc. yes, a gift would be fine, nothing outrageous, just a normal host gift.

It depends on your age.... if your younger than 21 than I think it would make them a little uncomfortable. If you are over 21 though it is VERY appropriate to bring a gift. Parents always like to be thought of, it makes them realize that you are serious. Bring them a bottle of wine or some kind of gift for the home. DO NOT BRING FLOWERS. Flowers are for women mostly and the last thing you want to do it piss of the father. Make sure he can enjoy the gift also.

I've always brought flowers and if you'd like to splurge a nice small arrangement or basket sent ahead of time gives a nice touch. Alcohol is not always a good idea, they may not be drinkers or only enjoy a particular type of liquor or brand. Good Luck!

No, do not bring a gift. But go there with a friendly attitude. Tell them Hello and happy to meet them. Not overly friendly, but nice. Stay callm and don't be outspoken. Absolutely , no arrogance. They are experts at picking up on ones attitude. Don't degrade or talk about your family. Always be kind and gracious. When you leave, tell them it was nice meeting them. Good Luck !

It's always a great idea to bring a gift. If you're unsure, ask your bf/gf what the parents like. Maybe a nice fruit basket. Just don't get anything wildly extravagant or obviously cheap.

It would not hurt to bring a small thoughtful gift. The small gift would also serve as an ice-breaker too.
Be kind and smile!

Not necessary. You are the gift to them.......their future DIL. When your relationship with their son is more stable and has a future, then you may want to give them a gift when you visit.

I don't think it would be necessary unless it was based around some kind of party. Just be nice, don't brag too much, etc.
