.......It will ruin his self esteem and shame him into single-hood.

Spent more then I wanted but I got a Date (Dinner & Movie) GC, Visa GC and Katy Perry Perfume gift set and attached 2 condoms inside the birthday card.

Should be lots of embarrassing looks since her father and grandparents will be there. But I'm sure they are not stupid and know that she is already sexually active with my son.

Cheesecake Factory, Here we cum!!

One of those baby slings and a ten pound bowling ball to put in it....

How about one of those picture frames (10x12-ish) with the cut-outs for 4 or 5 photos, filled with pictures of your son at various ages? Shows her that you're willing to share him with her.

May not be as meaningful if they've been together since 7th grade.

No one complains about this sort of gift and it's fairly general, which I think is a good idea. They're not engaged, yet.

And with the smallish gifts, if she doesn't like the nice pen, book mark, small box of Godivas, little book of poetry (heck, I don't know what she likes) ... then you're not out too much money if she doesn't like the little treats.

I'll admit, though, I'm a bit of a gift giver, having like getting them myself.

Good luck,
Elisabeth

edited to add: A little gift bag of small treats is enough on it's own according to your budget. People spend more today with gifts than is my habit. So I considered a gift that would be around $50. For me, I would be more along the lines of $20-30, like an iPhone charger. Again, you have to figure out a budget and keep in mind, if you go overboard with this young lady, she'll probably expect similar monetary layouts in the future.

I'm being abrupt about speaking of cash outlay. But in the end, it makes a difference. Figure out what you wish to spend, first, then go from there.

Completed the thought.
