Thanksgiving gifts

Aside from wine or a pie...anything else?

In what sense? To meet her family or what? I have never heard of people giving each other Thanksgiving gifts.

As in going to her family's house for Thanksgiving dinner and bringing a gift. Except they'll probably have lots of wine and lots of pies.

Although I am actually considering the Charlie Brown DVD now because I want to see it myself.

K Sig RC I have no idea what the French have to do with this but when in doubt, I always fall back on this one phrase: You are gay.

HBADPi you're just jealous because the guys you meet off of craigslist.org and adultfriendfinder.com don't invite you over for Thanksgiving.

It's true...I'm still holding out hope that the post I made on the "Missed Connections" section of craigslist will yield some results. As for adultfriendfinder, I'm not the person on GC that knows a little something about that.

I think any traditional host/hostess gift would be appropriate. A nice plant, flowers, wine (but like you said they may have a lot of wine), a basket of stuff from Bristol Farms or Harry and David, etc.

You can't go wrong with flowers. Another gift would be a nice selection of exotic teas.

Basically I either bring Charlie Brown or secretly hint that I'm gay by bringing exotic teas and candles.

Or pick up a bag of gourmet coffee. Not the Starbucks kind. Flowers would work too.

I'd go with flowers too. Florists have some great Thanksgiving arrangements now. I was just ordering some today for my parents!

I think flowers aren't really such a hot idea . . . food would be solid if lame, maybe ask if there's something the cook doesn't like to prepare, and you can order that beforehand. I LOVE Charlie Brown, but only as a half-serious addition to a real gift.

SO BASICALLY if you can get some sick gourmet deviled eggs plus a children's DVD, you'll be ballin' for sure?

A decent floral arrangement or centerpiece could be nice.

Personally, I think you can never have too much wine.

Oh, so true!

Seriously though, I am echoing the flower arrangement suggestion.

Go with wine. Technically, the wine that you bring as a hostess gift is not required to be drunk that night anyways.

Is this the girl you signed up for yoga to meet?

I think bringing flowers is an ok gift if you're a girl, but if I invited a guy to Thanksgiving and he showed up with a floral arrangement/centerpiece whatever, my parents would think that he was totally weird. That's just my opinion though. I'd echo OtterXO's statement and say bring a nice gift basket. They're already going to have a lot of food and drinks, since it's Thanksgiving so give them something they can enjoy on a different day. Good luck! :)

Homie. I think KSIGRC meant you should eiffel tower them. I'm not sure though. You might have to ask him.

Remember the time we went up to that one girl and asked her if she wanted us to eiffel tower her? Then we were puzzled when she said "ok".

Or how about that one time we went up to that super fat chick and felt sorry for her because no one was giving the fat girl love. So we went up to her and said we'd Golden Gate her anytime. And then she said "ew you guys are gross". And then we were like, " ummm ok listen. we only said that to make your fupa and your fat ass feel better. as if we'd really bang a fat chick." But then we went away and said simultaneously, " yeah, I'd bang a fat chick".

Or how about that time we kept on making up fake memories of events that never really happened, just to make a bunch of internet people think that we were roommates.

Man, good times broski! Good times!

Rudey,
You could always bring a nice box of chocolates from Godiva or the like. I don't know that anyone has ever been disappointed with a box of Godiva. I second the wine thing as well.

Happy Thanksgiving.;)

I ended up buying a few tea assortments and special sugar cubes at Williams Sonoma and they packaged it really nicely. Recommend it as a good hostess gift if you're still stuck.

I'd wear ass chaps before I bought fruity teas and special sugar cubes.

If I can't decide on anything, I'm going to Boston Market and buying a bunch of beans or mashed taters or something, and pretending I made it.

-Rudey
--Hopefully the lady that last posted in the "What I ate for dinner" thread hasn't eaten Boston Market out of house and home when I go in.

I would actually pay money to see that... maybe you can give her an 8x10 glossy in a frame with the assless chaps? ;)

Ask your GF some things that her mom likes. That could help.

This is what I bought as a hostess gift for my bf's mom one year- a gift certificate for a restaurant. It went over very well and it was no more expensive than a flower arrangement or bottle of wine. Just find out what kind or restaurant they enjoy and get them a $30 or so gift card.

Although the asschaps idea would be a conversation starter...
