Want practical gift ideas this year, useful stuff, day to day, and things you might not buy for yourself.. any thoughts or suggestions very appreciated . Thanks~


Answer
We didn't have much money growing up and my Mom always says food is one thing everyone uses!

She used to fill a box for each kid with their favorite snack foods, Ramon noodles, pudding cups, jerky etc... Things we normally couldn't afford day to day. Still a good idea for teenager boys!

Make your own gift baskets, as a example, maybe a colander filled with spaghetti noodles, sauce, hot pads and a pasta spoon.

Along that idea, Do you have a favorite recipe? Something everyone always asks for the recipe? Make a gift basket with it, maybe a pan and ingredients with the recipe typed on a nice card?

My kids like getting a tooth brush basket, fill a tooth brush holder with special accessories that each kiddo likes.

Oh, Sam's club has some very reasonable priced picture gifts. Cups, calenders even mens ties. Did you know that you can upload and order your pictures online and pick up your order at Sams or have them shipped to you? I just did a large order and they came out just beautiful

Blankets, we picked up the softest comforter at JCPennys that was only 38 or so dollars for a king!

With the uncertain times now I know many people are getting 72 hour emergency kits or survival food as gifts too.
FrontierSurvival.net has lots of food
FrontierSurvival.com has tons of 72 hour kits and gear.

Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Post baby shower gift ideas.... Pampering in mind;?




G


It is my sister is laws baby shower - I need gift ideas of what to get her - The theme is Post baby gifts with pampering in mind - No gifts for the baby as she already has everything she needs. Her and I are very close so I would like to give her something nice - any ideas? of course aside of the spa and facial certificate.. What would a new mom (of two) enjoy more? thanx....


Answer
Include a booklet of babysitting vouchers, so she can go on a shopping spree or use that free time for whatever she wants (even sleeping) - she'll love that since every new mom needs some time to herself - speaking of experience...
Get a free template for a babysitting voucher here: http://www.best-baby-gifts.com/free-baby-gifts.html

Apart from that make her a gift basket with lots of mom stuff (lotions, bath essence, dosy , postpartum stuff, also chocolates if she likes them - and who doesn't?, etc.)

how to use pampers gifts to grow points?




KKMOM


I have 87 gifts to grow points with pamper's and it says I have enough to get a pack of diapers, but when I try to get them online it only gives me the option to pay for them. This is the first time I use this and I don't know how to actually use my points. Do I have to go get the in-store? Does anyone know what to do?? Please help! Thanks!


Answer
On the Canadian Pampers site, the Gifts to Grow rewards do not give an option to redeem for packs of diapers. There are a few "rewards" worth 10 & 20 points each, but they are only good for entries into sweepstakes to win diapers and wipes, and and ALEX creative sweepstakes, and donations to charities. After the 20 points, the next thing you can redeem for is a 400 point 11X14 photo collage from Shutterfly. Are you sure the 87 points will give you a pack of diapers and not a chance to WIN diapers for a year?

50th birthday?




anne b


What would be a good gift for a 50th birthday? I need nice gift ideas!!! (not gag gifts)
This gift is for my sister-in-law, who lives out of town.



Answer
You could go to the bank and get a brand new fifty dollar bill and put it in a card. Or get fifty new one dollar bills and put it in a drawstring bag.

Or you could get a really pretty container of some type (box, basket, even a gift sack) and put 50 snack size candy bars (her favorite type) inside.

Make a gift basket with pretty robe, scented candle, bath oil, soap and scrubbie, bath pillow, a box of chocolates and a good book - wrap the whole thing in tulle and tie with a beautiful bow.

Good/creative gifts for a 50th Birthday?




Trevor B


I need a VERY last minute gift for a 50th birthday party tonight. Anyone have any good ideas that I could pull together fast?


Answer
Buy here something online where you get to print off a voucher of gift card and some product information that you can format up nicely and hand to her. Things like an Amazon gift card on an experience day - something where the actual gift has to come later because you are letting her choose which book/music/experience she wants.

gift ideas for parents?




anonymous


im trying to figure out what to get my parents for Christmas. They are next to impossible to buy separate gifts for, so I usually get them a together gift, usually something for the house. They're both in their mid 40's. This year I am completely stuck on what to buy them though. I'd like to spend around $75, and no more than $100. I'm a broke college student, so I can't be spending too much, haha. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! : )


Answer
Gift subscription to a monthly cookbook or netflix..
Nice wine and cheese gift box?
Kitchen gadgets..
New bathroom towels

Awesome kitchen gadgets?




Scrapbook


Hi

I need to get something for my brother's birthday, and for Christmas [yes, I'm aware it's October :P] but I have NO idea what to get him!!!!!!!

I asked him, and he said an immersion blender, but my mom is getting him that [it's also WAAAYYY out of my budget]

So, any suggestions??

Please make it like under 15$ and available in Canada.

Thanks!
Oh, and btw. He hates cook books. Apparently, they 'box in' his 'creativity'. Blah blah blah :P



Answer
how about a $15 gift certificate at his favorite kitchen gadget store? I am a cook and I don't like other people buying me stuff as then I feel obligated to use it even if I think it is a useless kitchen dust collection toy. Anothe suggestion would b a copy of a cook book he doesn't already have.

House Warming Gift: Cousins First house (age 18)?




G


My cousin has just received his money and has purchased a house, ready for uni- well when I say house it's more a 1 bedroom ex-council flat in Chelsea- but still a home's a home.
I asked him what he wanted and he said 'Art work' so I don't know what that means.. therefore I have selected out a few things that I think he would like. Which one do you prefer..

by the way, if you's don't think 5 is great, I'm buying it myself.



Answer
Glad you like it, because it certainly isn't French Impressionist in the usual meaning of those words in art.
I hope you know his taste because I would have trouble living with several of those I looked at. And the prices on them are way out of my league for a house warming gift

Bespoke Wedding Gift List?




Pooky


I'm quite against the idea of writing a wedding gift list, but lots of friends and family have requested that we do. I was wondering though, is there any website that provides the facility to write your own bespoke list so instead of saying I want picture frame xyz from john lewis we could say, we'd love a picture frame that would go with a green room and leave the choice to the guest? I'd much rather have gifts that my guests had chosen themselves but appreciate that some people want some guidance about the kinds of things we'd like... any help much appreciated!

Girlfriend birthday present ideas?




Jack


Hey,

So my girlfriend is going to be 22 on Monday and I'm wondering what to get her! I have a limit of around £50. There is nothing that I know of that she really needs, which is where I'm stuck.. For previous xmas/birthdays something of hers has been broken and I've replaced it for her.. iPod, mobile phone etc. But now all is working!

So what should I buy her? She loves reading books but I couldn't pick one for her.. maybe an Amazon gift card? :S


Thanks.. :p



Answer
She might like these books:

The Vampire Diaries series by L.J. Smith
Eragon series by Christopher Paolini
Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schreiber
Blue Bloods series by Melissa De La Cruz
Cirque du Freak series by Darren Shan
Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis
Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George
Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J. R. Ward (I only recommend this book if you are over the age of 16 and mature)
Night World series by L. J. Smith
Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Angels in Pink by Lurlene McDaniel
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen
Post Secret by Frank Warren

But if not try making her a homemade dinner, taking her to a movie, making her a card, a poem, take her on a picnic, really anything cute and romantic like that. I would love it if my boyfriend did that. But if she isnt into stuff like that (but most females are) go with the gift card.

What's an appropriate H.S. graduation gift under $20?




Miss Luke


I am a science teacher at an alternative school. One of my students, a girl I've taught for the past 4 years, is graduating next week; her last day of school is tomorrow. "N" has overcome significant challenges, and is only the 2nd person in her family to graduate from high school. Moreover, she has done so while maintaining honor-roll status throughout high school, WITHOUT getting pregnant, and WITHOUT having to repeat a year of school. Her behavior, furthermore, has improved dramatically this year. (You perhaps would have to work at my school to appreciate what formidable achievements these are.) Consequently, in addition to attending her graduation, I would like to get her something to show her how proud I am of her accomplishments -- but I am truly stumped. ANY ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
@Aden -- You HOPE I'm "not the kind of person I think you are??" Aden, I am the "kind of person" who cares very much about her students, thinks about them constantly, and tries to go the extra mile to support them when few other adults in their lives will. Why WOULDN'T you want me to be that kind of person?

Maybe it's hard for any of you to understand why a teacher would buy a present for a student -- but you don't know what some of my students have been through. 99% of our student bofy falls below the poverty line, and our graduation rate is about 55%. This girl DESERVES some recognition for her efforts.



Answer
as a teacher, i think that you have to get her something slightly neutral just to not have it look badly to the wrong people. for example-if you got her jewelry it might be taken the wrong way. a picture frame with an inspirational quote around it is a meaningful gift and conveys what you want to say-that you are proud of her, and you want to continue to inspire her success in her future.

if she is continuing onto college, you may want to get her something fun as well-such as a white board for her dorm room with some cute magnets. those together would make a nice gift. and would not send the wrong message to anyone. but are meaningful and would show her that you care and are so very proud of her.

however, some school districts have rules against teachers accepting gifts from students, so there may be rules for vice versa-i would double check that giving such a gift would not break any rules and lead to any disciplinary action.

she, as well as many other children, are lucky to have such caring teachers in their lives. they need role models now more than ever. I am inspired that there are still people that care! teaching is a life-consuming job, often thankless, and lower-paying than it should be. we should be paying more tribute to those preparing our children for the future. i hope this helps!

stayl8749


For a man.?????


Answer
Food gift or food for the party? Food & Wine gifts are my fav type to give for people who seem to have everything they need (like a 50 year old). Gourmet coffees, teas, chocolates always go over well. Grilling gifts always work too - nice grill set, grilling cookbook, you can supplement with a gift basket of spices, sauces, etc. Or a magazine subscription.

gift for marriage celebration?




Ingrid


Hello,
we are invited to a marriage celebration in New Zealand. I am unsure how much a gift voucher should be?
My husband knows the couple from his sports club.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks a lot
They are married now for 1 or 2 years.



Answer
Maybe the gift should accord to the tradition of New Zealand. The tradition of every place's wedding is so different, so you'd better have a little check on it. And something practical is better, cuz it can remind they couple of you.

Quick critique of my Christmas gifts?




travis2310


Ok so I want anyone reading to give a quick critique of my gift choices. I appreciate your time.

So, for a Vietnamese Catholic family consisting of my 62 year old friend, his 54 year old wife, and their 14 year old daughter.

For the man: A 144-piece tool set with screwdrivers, a hammer, clippers, different wrench variations etc.

For the wife: A Homedics relaxation fountain

For the daughter: A bath set (?) that my Mom "thought was nice".... it had lotion, body wash, and some other feminine thing in there.

Thanks for the help



Answer
They are all great gifts and I think everyone will love them.

Christmas gift for Mom?




Natalia


I need help on finding the perfect Christmas present for my mom. She's the "spa" kind, and likes anything that will make her smell good. Creams, lotions, candles, that kind of thing. But what can I do to make that special? Thanks so much.


Answer
Make her a gift basket with her favorite scent body lotion, body wash, bubble bath, a mesh scrub thing, and some bath beads. Add her favorite magazine or a nice book for her to relax with. You could even buy a relaxation CD to put in the basket with her "spa" items. If you have the money, you could also get her a gift certificate for a massage at a local massage therapy place or spa.

anthonyros


I am 20 years old and I have a single 27 year old next door neighbor that I have a crush on we have been next door neighbor for 15 mouths now and it is almost Christmas time I want to buy hear a dozen pink roses and a name necklace is this a good idea or if not what should I do
to let her no I have a crush on her but still be romantic about it I was going to set the flowers on hear door step and later give hear the necklace in person.
Please help me

This the necklace I have in mind

http://www.mynamenecklace.com/images/products/big_101-01-067-01.jpg



Answer
That type of gift is way too romantic - you're friends - not a couple - if you want to drop a hint that you're romantically attracted to her, why not give her a gift certificate to a nearby restaurant and a gift card for the movies - if she suggests that you two go together, then you're set! =)

Opening gifts...?




OFFICIALLY


Not too sure what it is called but has anyone been with the bride and groom when they opened their gifts the next day that they received from their wedding? I heard someone say it is some kind of brunch you have and family and friends come over to see them open the gifts.
What is it called?
Has anyone been to this?
What is the proper procedure to inviting people?
Who do you invite?
Anything particular goes on at this "event" or "party"?
Thanks in advance.



Answer
It's a "gift-opening party" usually done the day after the wedding. Usually it is hosted at the bride's parent's house. I have been to one before and the immediate close family and friends from both the bride and groom's side were invited, not the whole guest list from the wedding!! You just eat and talk about the wedding and possibly look at pictures if any have been developed already and just have a good time with the bride and groom.



From the San Diego Tribune, on April 30, 2006:

A gift-opening party isn't a nationwide tradition but is very popular in certain areas of the country. It essentially takes the concept of the day-after brunch one step further.


What happens is that your friends and family all gather together and watch you open your wedding gifts (it's basically like a bridal shower, only in this case many of the gift-givers may not be present).
If you're not crazy about the idea, here's a compromise: After the brunch, once most of your guests have hit the road and only your very close friends and family are still there, take some time and open the gifts for those folks to see.

50th Birthday Food and Gift Ideas?




stayl8749


For a man.?????


Answer
Food gift or food for the party? Food & Wine gifts are my fav type to give for people who seem to have everything they need (like a 50 year old). Gourmet coffees, teas, chocolates always go over well. Grilling gifts always work too - nice grill set, grilling cookbook, you can supplement with a gift basket of spices, sauces, etc. Or a magazine subscription.

Unique gift ideas for my dad's 50-ish birthday?

Q. Okay so I'm not sure exactly how old he is, but hes definitely getting old. :-P My parents wedding anniv is on the same day so I'm going to take them out to eat, and I bought my mom some clothes. Now, I'm confused what I should buy my dad. I want it to be something unique and different. Any ideas??


Answer
No silly Over the Hill gifts or any of that other junk. My Dad said on his 50th birthday that it was nice to be surrounded by family and no stupid party. Go out to eat and maybe give your Dad a gift card for Lowe's or something he would like. No need to be unique or different. Men aren't into that stuff. They are into Lowe's or even a gift certificate to something he likes. If your Dad is a big baseball fan, buy him two tickets to a baseball game. That is maybe something he wouldn't do for himself.

What 's a great wedding gift for under $50? under $100?




Heart of F


Modbride...that might be true, unless you've know them for a long time in which case you know what their tastes gravitate toward----like a family member


Answer
modbride, speak for yourself - that isn't true for the majority. a gift that shows someone has taken the time and effort to buy something meaningful is the best gift. cash? in our circle its something someone throws in an envelope 'cause they can't be bothered to shop.

now in answer to your query, my mum and dad say, and i happen to agree, the best gift they give is a young tree. whether it be a lilac, a sycamore, a maple, a weeping willow, it is something that the happy couple will watch mature and grow as they do.
for condo owners the folks often purchase smaller trees, and shrubs. roses, azaleas, that kind of thing.
and the gift can fit any budget! whether its fifty, a hundred, or five hundred dollars!

Any birthday gift idea under $50 for my aunt (late 40s)?




A


My aunt's in her late 40s. She's simple but generous with gifts. Unfortunately, I can't give something grand for now. Besides from clothes, bags and picture frames - got any suggestions? Thanks in advance!


Answer
A fifty dollar gift card for a restaurant or fancy store might be just the thing!

Gift for wife's 50th birthday?




XOUT


My wife asked that, in lieu of buying her an expensive gift, that I give one of her boys a big chunk of cash for college. I still want to get her something. I am taking her on a trip, but want to get her something she can hold in her hands, but is not terribly expensive.

She is pretty, looks much younger than 50, slender, athletic and very feminine. She also will not tell me what she wants for a gift, or implies that she doesn't want anything, which I assume is not true.

Why do women not want to tell you what they want for a gift? My first wife was the same way. I wouldn't hesitate if somebody asked me that question! Why do I have to figure it out?????? Help!!!!!!!
The college money was already delivered. Keep the nice suggestions coming, I really need help with this one, it is a serious question. The losers who made the vulgar comments would be best to keep their opinions to themselves.



Answer
One of the best gifts I ever got didn't cost my husband a dime. For some reason, turning 20 really was freaking me out (not much longer till I'm 30, and I'm looking forward to it).

I woke up on my 20th birthday to a pink carnation (my fave flower) on the pillow next to me. When I finally dragged my butt out of bed, pleased with the flower, but still feeling pretty bad because of turning 20, he sat me down on the couch, kneeled down next to me and held my hands. He told me how beautiful and amazing I was, and how he was so happy to have married me. He told me how he was looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. How he appreciated me, cherished me and valued me.

Of course, I broke down into tears at this point! I was in my bathrobe with my hair uncombed and he still thought I was the most beautiful woman in the world.

We spent the rest of the day curled up together watching movies, or in the hottub splashing and laughing. I've never had a better day and it didn't cost a thing.

is it normal if your boyfriend doesn't get you a birthday gift?




jen


just wondering...my best friend and her boyfriend have been going out for like idk how long i guess 7 months and she keeps saying how her boyfriend didnt get her a birthday gift. she keeps askin me what she should do (like should she break up w/ him or whatever) and i have like no idea what to tell her. any advice? from what i can see her boyfriend seems to be a good boyfriend...i never really thought he was rude or anything he seems nice...
i'm prety sure she told him when her birthday would be...and he apologized but he didnt get her a gift even after he apologized



Answer
Well, if he KNEW it was her birthday, he should've, at least, acknowledged it...with a "happy birthday", a card, a gift,...

If he's too young to drive then he's relying on his parents to drive (and possibly pay) for a card and gift. Maybe he didn't ask, maybe he couldn't, maybe he did and they wouldn't take him).

More than likely (as long as you know that he DID know about her b'day)---he is just clueless. Alot of them are. They have to be trained to behave the way you want them to...if they don't know any better, they have to be taught.

Why don't you talk to him and find out if he knew it was her b'day. If he didn't, now he will, and he can still make it up to her (and do better in the future, but she may need to be more open about what she wants and expects from him). If he DID know, then you can let him know how his gf is feeling about it all and HOPEFULLY he does try to make it up to her anyway.

If he just doesn't care either way then...he's probably not worth keeping around...that's up to her though, of course.

Would perfume or a necklace be a better first Christmas gift?




Rob


Me and my girlfriend have recently started dating. We are both older and I have been out of the game for a while. Which gift would be better to show I care for her deeply but not come off as creepy? If I went with a necklace I would want to get one with her birthstone in the charm.


Answer
Necklace is better than perfume.

My bf has gotten me earrings and i love them! Ask her if she has her ears pierced, don't say why though. I personally like earrings more than necklaces. I remember to wear them more. There are also really nice birthstone bracelets. Look at those too! Im not trying to overwhelm you with ideas just giving you some options!

Also does she like to read? Or drink coffee or tea? Try to get her something personalized, like if she loves coffee get her a mug she can always use. Things like that come off very thoughtful and nice.

Christmas gifts...perfume, bath sets OK at airport?




BabyBella


My bf bought his little neice a kiddie bath set and I was going to get his mother and sister perfume sets are these ok at the airport? I know there is a limit on liquids could someone please clarify for me? thanks much.
Mailing isnt much of an option its to the Bahamas and that could take 3 months and possibly never get there.



Answer
It would be safer to mail these items to your destination. Also, gifts cannot be wrapped as they need to be checked going thru security. Gifts will be unwrapped.

Go to the following website www.tsa.gov - if you are traveling internationally, call your airline as those restrictions may differ.

The perfume sets can only be packed into check in luggage - but I would worry about breakage. So if I were you I would go to your postal store and have them pack and send the items.

Good Luck :)
