I'm meeting them tomorrow night but not for dinner. What should I bring besides wine since they don't really drink?
Good gift to bring when meeting the girlfriend's parents?
- Thread starter Kouros
- Start date
Bring some flowers for the mom if you are going to their house.
What is the context of the meeting? Just hello when you pick her up or?

Just to meet them.
I would think they would offer coffee? how about bakery cookies or a cake.
Swish! Nicely done, Jim.
Exactly! The baked goods will be appreciated without being over the top. Treat their daughter well. That is, by far, the best gift that you could possibly give the.
Take along a bottle of Lilac Vegetal for the dad.
It depends. A cow or sheep may be appropriate or perhaps a silver goblet. 
Take something that has a little bit of a personal connection and is unique as it can be an ice breaker and conversation starter as well as show some character.
So, say if you have an ethnic background bring something delicous from a bakery that your fam has been going to for years or that's something you've always loved.
If you're from a different town, bring something from a specialty store that's from your town that is particularly notable... is there a chocolatier there that's well known.
Whatever you get, make sure it's small and high quality, not quantity. You want the gift to show thoughtfulness and good taste but not that you're bribing them

Why not ask your girlfriend this question?

Very well thought out answer.

I always appreciate a gift of a silver goblet. Perhaps best to hold off on the livestock until haggling over the brideprice.
I agree here. Make sure their not vegans, on weight watchers or some other issue that could cause a problem with your gift.
If some guy brought me that rotgut I'd show him the door faster than you can say skunk.
For a quick meet and greet you don't need anything. The first dinner you're invited to then bring something small.
hahahahahaha
A framed picture of yourself.
