Among Friends

[qvcfreak]

I was going to suggest a nice warm scarf.

I think a nice pair of gloves and a scarf, gift card to some place in the area that is popular or something along those lines. It doesn't have to be huge just something nice and try to pick something you would enjoy getting yourself.

I would go with a candle.  Vanilla is a nice neutral scent.

You can also ask your brother what he thinks she might like.

Wow, I guess I'm odd man out here. It would never occur to me to get a gift for someone I've never even met who just happens to be my brother's latest girlfriend. Thus, I'm sorry but I have no suggestions. 🤷‍♀️

I think it's great that you want to get her a present.  It's always a wonderful thing to be thoughtful.  There are some really good suggestions on here, but I'll add a nice mug or mug set depending on your budget, or a bath and body set.  Everyone uses body cream during winter.  I'd just go with a subtle scent.

I would get her a small Visa gift card to get what she likes.

[DottieBlue]

I would definately get her a gift, she must be someone special to your brother or he wouldn't be bringing her. 

It doesn't need to be expensive or elaborate.  The other posters here have some great ideas.

I think it would be rude to exclude her in the gift-giving and may make everyone feel awkward if she was left out since the gift exchange would occur in her presence.

I would have a gift for her under the tree. It is a welcoming gesture whether or not she is his girlfriend next year. A nice unscented hand cream would be something she could use in winter. The ornament idea is a good one so that she can remember her first Christmas with your family.  I wouldn't fret too much about what you get her. She will be happy you included her.

She's gonna feel really awkward receiving all those gifts and she has nothing to reciprocate.

Of course you should bring a gift!  What a thoughtful gesture.  She might be a bit nervous meeting all the family and your gift will make her feel welcome. A pretty scarf is also my recommendation if you live in a colder climate.

I do this all the time with bf/gf of my extended family.  Sometimes I never see them again after the holidays (break-ups), but at least I know they had a great Christmas experience meeting me! (HA! HA!)

BTW, no I would never expect a guest to feel uncomfortable with not having a gift for me--that is the responsibility of the family member who brought the person!
