Try getting a sampler plate of traditional greek and turkish food (both are fairly similar with key differences)  Ask the resteraunt if you can order a little of everything.  They should be able to cut you a deal.  Particularly cool if you want to do it in traditional greek style and rather then have it plated for you you have it all laid in serving dishes on the table and pass it around thanksgiving style.  This encourages communication and socialization in a time that, in American tradition, is normally kinda quiet.

A turkey\nBox of mashed potatoes\nBox of stuffing\n2 packets of gravy\ncan of corn\ncan of cranberry sauce\ncan of yams\nmini marshmellows\npumpkin pie & can of whipped cream\ninstant coffee\nhot coder packets\nI always include a cream or fruit pie also, because I do NOT like pumpkin pie & some others don't either...\nI also include the fixins for a green bean casserole & a green salad...  I try to include what "I" would like to feed my family on Thanksgiving & enough to feed a good sized family or at least enough for a couple of days leftovers.  I also throw in a foil roasting pan & box of foil & a gallon of milk.\n\nGood for you for doing this..... GOD BLESS!!!!

What a thoughtful gift giver you are....\nThere are all sorts of great sugar free candies available now, but I would limit to one, or maybe two items of candy.\nHow about some personal items like bath salts, nail polish, a gift certificate for a facial, movie pass or dinner at Applebee's (they have weight watcher selections now).\nPerhaps a new video or CD, or an offer to help with something.  \nI'm sure the recipient of your gift will be blessed because you thought of them.\nGood job!

I'm the type of person that doesn't like to just give someone a simple old gift, I like to make it a little more exciting than that. Here is one idea. Hopefully you have some time before her birthday. This is what I would do if you have about a month or a little less time before her birthday. Each day, for 21 days, give her a small gift. This could be some makeup, a new purse, some cash, starbucks g/c, a day at the spa, cds, etc. Give her something for each day up until her birthday and then on her actual birthday give her something big, that she has wanted for a while, or something that she would like really like. You could give her a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City, or take her on a cruise, etc. This is where you would decide what to give her, what you think she would like the most.\n\nI think it would be especially neat if the little gifts added up to her final gift. You don't want it to be real obvious what it is going to be, but once she has everything you want her to be able to see the connection. Let's say you are going to give her a cruise. Okay, so you could give her some small (not travel size or it may be too obvious) lotions, shampoos, etc. you could buy her an MP3 player to listen to on the plane, some books, etc. Add things in that would be of interest to her, but also useful for her trip. You could even take her to the mall one day for a shopping trip and get her some pictures in one of those machines, then she could use the picture for her passport. Then on the day of her birthday you could take and wrap the cruise documents in a large box, like a sweeper box or something, then she will open it and it will just be the little envelope with the documents in it. You could also wrap her up a box and inside of it have a clue. You could create a map or use a real map that she has to use to find the next clue, give her hints where the clue is and then she has to hunt for it, it sounds  a little childish but because she will be going on a cruise I think it would still work. Plus, it will be a lot of fun for you and her.\n\nHope this helps!

I would make a nice gift basket that the whole family can enjoy - you could do coffees and teas for the adults, hot cocoas for the little ones, and assorted cookies & chocolates along with nice mugs for each of them. Most of this can be found pretty inexpensively if you look. \n\nOr, you can also do a pasta bowl, loaded with pastas, a couple different gourmet sauces, a pasta server, grated cheese, etc. \n\nOR, you can do a snack basket - popcorn, munchies, soda & beer, and if you wanted to, throw in a game or some movie rentals. \n\nSince you don't know them, it's tough. But you've been with your beau for a while and if he's bringing you to meet them, you're probably going to be around for a while, so buying that first gift without knowing them is hard. Good luck!

How about a framed picture of you in front of your home and a thank you card.\nA gift certificate to something relaxing say a dinner and a movie, a pedicure. Spend how ever much you can afford.

Give the gift of yourself!  Make coupons redeemable to babysit, clean, shop, shovel snow, etc.  Decorate them nicely.  Relatives will love them.  \nBake cookies for gifts to friends.  \nMerry Christmas.  Love is the best gift of all.

For the woman we all need some pampering. So I would suggest go to Dollar store get: back scrub brush, assorted bath salts, fizzy bath balls, tub pillow, bubble bath, candle, hot facial mask put in pretty basket with bow  I did this and it was a hit.\n\nGuys anything with food.  Perhaps a big bowl filled with assorted bags of chips salsa or assorted popcorn, goldfish crackers, or yummy cookies.

Anything food that can be added to the menu or dessert.  Wine is also an apporpriate thing to bring.  If a different gift is your desire a nice vase or bowl would be acceptable, something that is out of the ordinary.  Do not be surpirsed if you do not receive a gift in return.  That is something that happens in all Orental Cultures.

Invite close friends over and have a small party. Have them over for dinner and make it like it is Thanksgiving, have everyone bring things over and then buy something for the party like at thanksgiving

have everyone bring a gift and just put Lady or Gentlemen on the tag. have food of course as this is primary importance and liquid refreshment. if liqueur is served have cokes or non alcoholic drinks also as some may not want alcoholic drinks then have a picture cut in two pieces one half for a lady the other half for a gentlemen when the two haves are found these two would be partners for a scavenger hunt.
