Gift for boys under $50?




judson


Hi,
I need help. I have grandsons 12 and 14. One has a mp3 player. What is out there that all the kids like, something I can afford? I'd like to spend no more than $45. Is there a popular trend right now? Thanks.
I'm afraid Happy is right. They would rather have cash or gift cards. Was just hoping that there might be something a bit more wrapable. Thanks all. judson



Answer
Not really anything you can get for under 50 but something that I think is a good idea is a giftcard. I would get them a movie giftcard. Kids are always going to the movies. They dont tend to have jobs at that age so it would be nice if when they went to the movies they dont have to ask for money instead they can just use their card. The cards are good for the consestion bar too.

Any good mother's day gift idea under 50$?

Answer
Gift card for a manicure

Make a laminated (or non-laminated) bookmark: find pictures of the two of you or pictures she would like out of a magazine or inspiring words- it can be a few small pics or just one. Cut the construction paper to the size you want and start gluing the pictures on, then take it to Staples/Office Max, Office Depot or a store like that and get it laminated, then cut it. After hole-punch the top and put a ribbon or twine of some kind through the hole and tie it in a knot. You can even skip laminating it.

Make a 'love jar' and fill it with origami hearts, flowers and slips of paper with notes of appreciation written on them or 'I love you' written in different languages (on the back write which language it is).
