Is it appropriate to give a baby gift in this situation? If so, what?
So, a little background... My boyfriend is currently on an LDS mission, and I LOVE his family! It's actually pretty likely I'll marry him when he gets home. Anywho, his older brother and sister-in-law are expecting a baby in March. I actually only have met this brother once because he lives in California. I would love to make a blanket or get something for their baby, but it would be kinda weird since I don't know them too well. Would it be appropriate to give them something? Any ideas? I'm just not so sure on this one.

If you're that close to the family, even if not the brother, then yes, it's appropriate. Don't give anything huge, but you probably should give a small gift. And if you feel awkward, just give them to the guy's mother or something and ask her to pass it on. That way it's very casual.
Blankets, baby clothes, bibs, undershirts...all needed, all appreciated, and usually all inexpensive.

Not at all inappropriate.A baby gift to me is like,a sign of your blessing and a welcoming of the baby to the world. If you hadn'tt met his brother at all first,im sure his brother and sister in law would know of you anyhow.Even then a gift would stilll be alright.I reccomend baby blankets. mothers can never have too many.Every time ive used the ones ive gotten as gifts im reminded of the person who it came from,which is special to me.A personally made blanket would be great as a gift. good luck!!

IS SHE fairly a pal . Or somebody who become a pal and dropped to an aquaintence? in case you fairly could choose to no longer circulate save your self the difficulty and deliver a giftcard and card to reach an afternoon after her bathe 25-50$ OR in case you prefer to circulate you're purely in charge for the present no longer the fee of the eating place. so the comparable 25-50$ present could prepare.

Yes, I recomend that you give a small present, nothing too big though. Maybe a baby blanket or a stuffed animal, or maybe a cute little outfit. Nothing to extravagant though.
Good Luck!! :D

No and flee from the LDS as fast as your little feet will take you, don't let the fraze "love is blind" lock you into a cult. here is why,

It sounds to me, to be an appropriate and thoughtful thing to do.
