should I take a gift?

I would.

This sounds like a lovely idea. Who wouldn't be charmed by a simple spring flower posey?

Definitely take the flowers! It's Easter Sunday. Everyone should have flowers. Take her an Easter egg too. Can't see why it should make anyone else feel uncomfortable!

I think it's a lovely idea! And as gonegirl says, some chocolates for everyone to share after the meal.

I'm sure most people going for lunch will take something especially on Easter Day.

I would certainly take a gift such as. flowers, chocolates, a gift voucher for a garden centre etc

I would take the flowers, it is each person's choice whether to take a gift and you feel you would like to so please do.

I didn't say chocolates. I said an Easter egg. There is a world of difference.

Definitely take flowers

I would take a house plant- flowers die so quickly and the plant is a lovely reminder. An Easter egg is also a good idea.

Take something you would like to receive.Have a lovely time.

I would definitely take a small gift if invited to lunch at someone's house- its up to the others if they dont want to but it is polite to do so.

I always take flowers - in Holland it is the norm and I just got into the habit. I wouldn't worry about making the others feel guilty.

The others won't feel guilty- they will probably take something too. Hope you manage to find somewhere open if the lunch date is actually today, Enjoy the day!

I see your post doesn’t mention Easter Sunday. I was confused by someone mentioning Easter eggs.

The lunch is actually next week (sorry should have mentioned that) - I have decided to take the flowers!

Great idea, OW!

We are having friends over for lunch today. I will certainly not get upset if they only bring themselves , in fact I’ll be very happy. However if they bring flowers or anything else I will also be happy and grateful.
I would never go to a meal without a “little”something as a token of appreciation.

Flowers or a small plant are always very welcome. My ex daughter in law always gives me flowers when I see her and they are much appreciated.

So yes for a new house, who could object?

I would not dream of attending an event like this without flowers and, probably, a bottle of wine. The hostess will certainly not be phased by being presented with a gift like this and the other guests can think what they like, you are on the moral high ground.

Definitely the right decision. Don't see how anyone could be in the least put out.

Yes do take them.

I would most certainly take flowers irrespective of the others attending. They can make their own decisions. Only problem I find is that the hostess can sometimes be overflowered. I've never found that a problem, mind you.

I would take the flowers - lovely idea
