Has anyone brought a gift to a first meeting with someone on eH?

Or has anyone received one? [no jokes here]

What was it?

I have a little something in mind, but I want it to be a surprise - if I am able to find it.

I'm thinking a first meeting means that this person probably doesn't know me very well. Assuming that's the case, I'd feel uncomfortable with someone giving me a gift at a first meeting.

"uncomfortable", "creepy", "very bad idea"

I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm getting the opinion that I should not do it.

I would be ok with receiving flowers, but that's about it. Seeing that you have never met the person before, I would even say that is going out on a limb!

I think that it is too risky (of making her uncomfortable) for the chance of very little reward.

Save the gift for a second or third date.
