What's The Best Birthday Gift For Mom?

My mom has very expensive taste but, I have limited funds right now. I'm trying not to spend more than $60 on her birthday gift. She is turning 55, has expressed an interest in Chuckchansi's Spa but its too expensive, is very picky about food, alergic to Seafood and pork, likes purfumes which sale for no cheaper than $85, wants to go to L.A. but I can't afford it and can't be trusted with gift certificates because they will sit in her pocket book! HEEEEEELLLLPPP!

Answer
For mom's birthday gift, have a look at a personalized Photo Collage Jigsaw Puzzle from jigsaw2order.com. Just send a selection of photos and specify any other hobbies or favorites she may have. 15-25 photos usually works best. You can also specify any words that you want - a message of favorite poem. Based on your photos and input, the professional designers at jigsaw2order.com will create a unique photo collage layout for your approval before making it into a puzzle. Don't worry, you get a chance to review and approve the photo collage design before they make a puzzle. Once completed, it can be framed and put on the wall as a keepsake of the birthday.

What is a good gift to give a woman for her 85th birthday? I'm stumped.

Answer
Well, I don't know what are your relationship with this woman, but perhaps you can by her a comfortable and nicely looking rocking chair. I gave my grandma such a gift and she was very happy.
If she is very close to you, you can give her something personalized. I have seen nicely looking pillows and blankets with family photos on them.

Gifts for boyfriend from New York?

Jenna:))

I'm going to New York tomorrow, and my boyfriend knows I love photography so he bought me a super nice tripod that I've been trying to save up for. So I figured I'd get him something cool in return (and another thing for our anniversary coming up). Any cool ideas?!

Answer
Well, we all know you love photography, but you haven't told us anything about him. What are his interests? How old is he? Does it have to be NY related? Maybe you can take a sexy 8x10 photo of yourself (no, not naked) or a black and white photo of the city skyline and put it in a nice frame since you love photography and he gave you a related gift? I personally like those thick, gothic looking silver/pewter frames. Maybe even a matching candle holder or something?

How much does it cost to send a gift to New York?

Dad-likes hunting and fishing-handyman-49 years old-has way too many things for fishing and hunting:poles,bows and arrows,clothes,a boat,etc...
Cousin #1-Nine year old girl-hard buying clothes for-likes all sports-especially Soccer and Basketball

Sorry Babydoll but I don't think a 9 year old girl or 13 year old boy is going to want a framed poem for Christmas.

Answer
DAD~~~

Does he like football?

Tickets to see his favorite team play or a cooler with the team colors would be good Christmas gifts for father

Does he like to cook out?

A new grill, grilling utensils, or a large outdoor fryer and turkey frying kit would be nice Christmas gifts for father-in-law. If he likes to cook in instead of cooking out, gourmet cookbooks make good Christmas gifts.

Cousin#1- 1. Some girls pretend that they 'outgrow' the love of dolls, but most girls just love dolls of all kinds. Young girls like baby dolls while older girls may like collectible dolls. At any rate, dolls are one of the all time best Christmas gifts for girls.

2. Some girls really are tom-boys and don't like dolls. So what are great Christmas gifts for girls who don't like dolls? How about basketballs? Many girls enjoy the challenge of sinking the basketball.

3. Pretty things like music boxes are always super Christmas gifts for girls.

4. Girls of all ages love to add to their wardrobe, so trendy clothes are excellent Christmas gifts for girls.

5. Have you ever met a girl that doesn't have a vast collection of shoes? Shoes, including Christmas shoes, are marvelous Christmas gifts for girls of all ages.
.

7. Another thing girls really like to do is to decorate for the holidays. Early Christmas gift ideas list for girls might include things like Christmas decorations, Christmas dishes or special, personalized Christmas ornaments.

8. For the sweet tooth, Christmas gift ideas such as Christmas candy, Christmas cookies or Christmas stockings filled with goodies are very thoughtful.

9. For girls who like to cook, cookbooks or cooking utensils are good Christmas gifts.

10. Flowers... Girls of all ages love flowers. Christmas flower arrangements are sure to be Christmas gift ideas for girls that will bring a smile to their faces.

Cousin #2- 1. Teen boys like to 'fit in' with their peers, so music is usually a big deal for them. A good car stereo or boom boxes are great Christmas gifts for teen boys.

2. Unless you really know what kind of music is 'in' you shouldn't probably buy actual music CDs, but gift certificates to music stores are logical Christmas gifts for teen boys. Also, buying memberships to legitimate, legal MP3 download sites are wonderful Christmas gift ideas for teen boys, besides, a legal membership for downloading music may keep them out of trouble.

3. Some great Christmas gifts teen boys really like are car or truck accessories, if they have a vehicle. Anything from floor mats to chrome hub caps make good Christmas gifts teen boys will love.

4. Most teen boys in this day and age like video games, so video games, video game accessories or gift certificates for gaming stores are excellent Christmas gifts for teen boys.

5. If you are really at a loss for Christmas gifts ideas for teen boys, consider getting a gift certificate to eBay where they can choose their own Christmas gifts at great prices! eBay has literally everything, new and used items that are auctioned off. Sometimes the thrill of bidding and trying to win an auction is just as fun as buying the merchandise itself. Nifty Nicky's nephews think eBay gift certificates are the best Christmas gift idea for teen boys she has ever come up with.

Expired gift certificates in Illinois?

Cassie C

What is the current law in Illinois regarding an expired gift certificate?

Answer
Illinois residents who received gift cards this holiday season may be able to redeem them for cash even if the gift cards expire, Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias said today.

The Treasurer’s Office is holding more than $5 million in unused gift card balances for Illinois residents.

Giannoulias’ announcement comes after a record year in gift card sales and in advance of a new law which aims to make gift cards more consumer-friendly. As of Jan. 1, gift cards must not expire for five years after issuance and cannot charge fees which diminish their value.

“In Illinois, gift cards never stop giving,” Giannoulias said. “Even when gift cards expire, consumers can recover their money from the state.”

Owners of expired gift cards can search for their refunds on the state’s unclaimed property database at www.cashdash.net or call (866) 458-7327. Even if a name isn’t listed, the state may still have a person’s unused balance.

Most gift card retailers do not record the name or contact information for the purchaser or recipient. The unredeemed balances come to the state marked as “owner unknown.” In such cases, the purchaser or recipient must file a claim with the Treasurer’s Office using the serial number on the expired gift card.

Unfortunately not all retailers who do business in Illinois send unclaimed gift card balances to the Treasurer. Unused gift card balances are sometimes remitted to the state where the retailer is incorporated. That’s one reason why the new gift card law is a win for Illinois consumers, said state Rep. Jack Franks of Woodstock who sponsored the legislation.

“Our goal was to put an end to the gift that keeps on taking,” Franks said. “That money needs to stay in the pockets of consumers.”

An estimated $8 billion in gift cards went unused in the U.S. in 2006, according to TowerGroup, a research firm in Needham, Mass.

Similarly, a recent Consumer Reports National Research Center survey found that 27 percent of adults who received gift cards during the 2006 holiday season had not used one or more of them nearly a year later. That is an increase from 2005, when 19 percent of consumers had one or more unused gift cards.

Over one-third of those respondents said they didn't use the cards because they either forgot about them, lost them, or the cards had expired, according to Consumer Reports. More often, people said they didn't have time to shop or couldn't find anything to buy.

Still, gift cards remain wildly popular. TowerGroup projects gift-card sales will top $100 billion in 2008, compared with estimates of $80 billion in 2006.

“Gift cards are king. Illinois laws make them all the more appealing to time-pressed shoppers,” said Lynda DeLaforge, co-director of Citizen Action Illinois.

The Consumer Reports survey found that 62 percent of consumers planned to give gift cards in 2007. They were the most-wanted gift among women and ranked third with men.

“When it comes to gift cards, it is buyer beware,” said Jack Gillis of the Consumer Federation of America. “Illinois consumers can be thankful for a new law that protects their pocketbooks when it comes to gift cards. Banning fees and insuring that gift cards are good for at least five years will go a long way to insuring that these cards really are gifts and not overpriced sales gimmicks.”

Father's Day or Birthday Gift Ideas?

Q. Hello! I'm a 13 year old girl, and I don't know what to get my Dad for his birthday. It's April 23, and we will be in Chicago April 22-24. He's a Cubs fan, and he works in construction. I don't know if it's just MY Dad, or others are like this, but it just doesn't seem fitting to get him a card with a tie on it. He's not a business man. He's not formal at all, really. He's really laid back and I don't really wanna make him something that a younger person would. I'm at the age where I can't make him those cute little gifts anymore, but I'm not old enough (too shy is more like it), to call one of my uncles to visit, because we'll be in Chicago!

It would be REALLY appreciated if you could help me!

Two Gifts to buy with $40?

Q. Okay so, tomorrow we don't have school. My brother offered to take me to Easton Town Center so I could do my Christmas shopping. But I'm stuck. I have to buy something for my Grandma and My Mom ! BUT I only have $40 to spend, because I also went Christmas shopping earlier this month. PLEASE tell me what I can buy for them, while staying within my budget. Also I only plan on going to places ( stores ) in Easton. I would greatly appreciate it. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS : )

Answer
$40? for two gifts?

That sounds like a DVD for each, that they would both like . Some movie they would enjoy seeing.

I suggest "The Legend of 1900" or -"Second Hand Lions" for Grandma.

"A Walk in the Clouds" for your mom, or maybe "Under the Tuscan Sun.

Trust me on this.

Is gifting a straw sale?

Q. My dads going to buy me a gun for my birthday but he learned aboUt straw sales and is concerned now. I am 16 and unable to get one myself. Is it legal for him to get me one?

Answer
A straw purchase would be where someone buys a gun on another persons accord because that person can't for whatever reason. So if you for example gave someone your money to buy the gun for you that would be a straw purchase. Buying a gun for others is ilegal and can land both people in prison for 10 years. Buying a gun as a gift though is not illegal so long as the individual who is getting the gun is not using their money and could legally buy it themselves. So by the core of your question it is not a straw purchase.

However you are not 18. But you are of immediate family. Transfers are different when it comes to immediate family. So at 16 you can possess a firearm but until you are 18 it would still legally be your fathers. And when you turn 18 you can take ownership of it. Possession and ownership are not the same in this regard. You can use it, you can keep it in your room and so on but if you move out before you are 18 you cannot take it with you. You can hunt on your own with it but you cannot go out to the range or plinking alone. At least not until you are 18.

What's the deal with gift cards and sales tax?

Q. If I purchase a $100 gift card from Apple, do I pay sales tax?
If the person I give it to, goes to Apple and buys something for $100, they would pay sales tax in cash, right?
Okay, but what if the item they buy is $95 and the sales tax is 5%? That comes out to $100. So in this case, the gift card could cover the sales tax right? So confusing...

Answer
Think of a gift card as money that can only be spent at the store it came from. You can use it to pay any sales tax on your purchase.

itunes gift card voucher code?

please can somebody give me an itunes redeem card code.. because i really, really want to just get a few songs and i dont have much money. i will be really greatfull. and i will also rate that person as best answer. thanks for your help
please, please, please !!! :(

Answer
I see these questions all the time, and the replies always sound something like, "get your own card" or "get a job". So i don't think you'll have any luck finding someone willing to give you anything. If you're that desperate, use this site.

http://www.gaminglagoon.com/?ref=527903

Yes, it's another one of those survey sites, but I know from experience that this one is not a scam. It can become quite tedious though, filling out those forms. If you feel you have the time signup, read the directions, and earn the points for an itunes gift card. Otherwise, good luck bumming one! :)

i think that it is nice if you both get gifts for each other. it is not fair to demand a gift from him and claim that you are not going to get him a gift because girls shouldn't get men gifts. it is not only sexist, it is selfish.

I need ideas ... for teacher gifts... on Valentine's day.?

Q. I feel bad.. I never got things together in time to gift my child's preschool teachers + director + p/t staff this past Christmas. I'd like to make it up to them by giving some type of creative gift(s) this Valentine's day instead. I need to keep it within a reasonable budget.. but not cheap...I'm thinking of some type of small gift baskets.. but stuck on the big picture from there. I don't want to go with typical things like shower gels or desktop teacher gifts.. ya know... trying to be creative.

Answer
I used to own a teacher store and we would make up gift baskets to themes that are covered in each grade. Our baskets would run anywhere from $10 to $50. I would try to include a book to read aloud to the children, a teacher resource book (Teacher Created Resources makes really nice theme-based books at the early childhood level), something hands-on like a game or puppet, perhaps a fun notepad or accent decoration or stickers, and something just for the teacher like a bookmark, gift certificate, etc.

Example: If your theme is ice cream, you could put in a book about how ice cream is made, a TCR book on ice cream, an accent packet of ice cream cones, and a $5 gift certificate to DQ.

If you are located anywhere near a medium to large city, there is probably a teacher store--or order from one online. Ask your child's teacher what themes they will be covering in the spring. For the top of the basket, have your child help you make a heart-shaped card that says something like, "I love my teacher because she makes learning fun."

Teachers loved these because they were useful and fun at the same time.

Where is the best place to buy wholesale items for a gift shop?

joseph

Answer
Gift shops are an important segment of our business. We wholesale fashion jewelry and accessories as well as Mardi Gras items and masks. These items may or may not fit in to your business plan.

Many gift shops attend gift markets where wholesalers present their line to retailers. Regional shows may be near you and national shows will be in major cities. Many others are trying to save travel expense by finding wholesale sources online. FGMarket is a directory of wholesalers, but there are many others like it.

Does anybody know of any good gift basket wholesale companies?

samantha m

I can't find any decent wholesale companies anywhere! It's been so frustrating. If anyone has any information at all, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much!!
It's so frustrating. I don't know why it's so difficult to find. You'd think the companies would WANT people to find them so they could get business.

Laser hair removal for xmas?

JonahsWhal

Ok, we are not doing much this year for xmas except for the kids. My wife and I are doing 1 present each. She has a little prob with slight whiskers coming in lightly on the chin. She usually plucks them and wants to get it lasered in that one spot.

Would that be a good gift, or not for xmas? Gift certs to ideal image? I know she wants it, just not sure about xmas?

Answer
Laser is not the answer, it's a LIFETIME commitment, and the only ones benefiting is the company making profits. ONCE she stopped, the hair will grow back like before. We've plucks our hair for ages!

Grandma and my grandma before me, did that. So are the future grandmothers. We've tired everything else, but plucking never goes out of style.

Do you know how much hair you got? That will cost a lot of money!!!!

Lasers work best on people with pale skin and dark hair (like me!), but these days there are even options for women with dark skin and light hair. Keep in mind dark skin may require 2-3 more sessions.

It's impossible to predict how successful lasers will work on everyone. Results depend on the quality of the laser, the type of hair you have and the number of procedures you have done. Never trust a company that guarantees hair removal. I suggest you try to a consultation in person before you sign up.

Laser hair removal isn't cheap (about $200-$500 a session depending on where you live and the areas being treated. Again, it takes about 6 sessions to get rid of 70% of hair permanently. Touch-ups are always an option at about $100-$150 a session. With treatments averaging $65 per five minutes and a series of sessions required, permanent hair removal businesses are being set up in shopping centres and beauty clinics.

Glamour magazine ex-editor ended up scarred for life. For this very reason, you want to skip the discount places and get treated by a trained technician at an established medical facility. These places do NOT offer discounts.

Example of one who had them done.
My laser hair removal treatment takes 8 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to see 60 percent reduction in hair growth. For best results, I got maintenance treatments done once a year for 4 years . Now I don't want to do this anymore! what is the best way to remove them from now on ?

THE laser hair removal industry should be subject to national regulations to protect people from being burned in their quest to remove unwanted body hair, consumer magazine Choice says. An investigation of six salons and clinics in Sydney found four had staff who were not trained in operating hair removal machines, while two had received training from the equipment manufacturer. ~ AAP, October 20, 2011

Laser or waxing, once you stopped, THEY WILL COME BACK as before. It's totally a waste of $$$$. It is a billion dollar business, btw. NONE is permanent.

What is a good birthday gift to give a 90 year old woman?

Jessica

Answer
Some time--a gift of your time.

To be taken out to dinner by you, not for her birthday, but on a Tuesday, when nothing special is going on.

A book of stamps, a box of assorted greeting cards, as it is hard to get to the store and she would like to send birthday, sympathy,etc. cards.

Pre-cooked, home-made meals, individually packaged, so that she can freeze them, then take them out and enjoy them when she wants to.

A home-cooked meal, brought by from time-to-time, and you to eat it with her. It's just food if it is dropped off; it's a meal when enjoyed with a friend!

Gift certificates for her heating, gas, electric bills.

Gift certificates for the grocery store, local restaurants that deliver, gift certificates for the local chain drug store, Wal-Mart, etc.

An offer to drive her to the doctor, dentist, etc.

An offer to clean her home, or a maid-service gift certificate.

A chance to spend some time with you, and a lingering hug when you leave. Older folks really, really miss being touched and hugged. Often, their mates have died, their children and grand-children are grown and too busy, and they are touch-deprived. It is a sad but true fact of getting older.

Help with parents' anniversary gift?

TXzebra

Ok so my parent's anniversary is coming up in like 4 days and I don't know what to get. I'm only 14 so I don't have a fortune to spend on some amazing expensive gift. What can I give them that seems sincere? Thank you!!!

Answer
I used to do this when I was little, but it would probably still be a well received gift. I'd make up a bunch of coupons for around the house stuff, like- this coupon is good for one night of washing dishes or weeks worth of laundry with no whining, or for making dinner or watching a sibling, or a family game night instead of going out with friends. If you have any cash at all, flowers are usually safe, or even a 10 dollar gift card somewhere for them to go on a date. They know you don't have lots of cash but they might like the idea of a date. I used to put the coupons in a vase or cup or staple them to a vase I made out of construction paper along with some paper flowers. If you have siblings or someone who might like to help you with a present you could always combine forces and buy them something, but if not- homemade and sentimental is usually a safe route to go.

Gift ideas for Husbands 30th birthday?

carissa m

He doesn't want a party and I was going to take him on a Discovery Flight but he said no to that too. I need a really good gift to give him that won't cost a bunch of money. He likes golfing, sports, and deer hunting. I looked into buying him some tickets for a sports event but too expensive!!
Thanks a head of time!

Answer
It's nice you are so thoughtful. Why don't you consider framing your photo? Take an old (or a new) photo, and get it framed.
It is a very personal gift, and it doesn't cost a lot of money.
Maybe a teddy bear (it's a cute gift)?
Or, think about a whole day you'll dedicate to him. Give him massages, make him a romantic meal, watch movie together, slow dance...
Hope I helped a little. :)

What do you think of this gift for my husband's 30th birthday?

Sophia's M

He's an exercise freak so I'm thinking of getting him a new stationary bike for cardio since his is so old and dysfunctional already. His ipod broke months ago and he has been using mine every day, so maybe also an ipod Touch? He also needs clothes, socks, underwear, etc. I know that "30" is a pretty big birthday so I want to give him a nice present. What do you think?

Answer
I think it is a great gift! My husband wanted to get another ring for my birthday and all I wanted is a gym membership. I got one and winter will be here soon in Alaska so no more bicycling. Your gift is great!

is it bad to get a gift card for my bf for christmas?

a.t

I already got him a ps3 controller faceplate and i want to buy something else. Is it bad to get a 15 dollar gift card also?

Answer
Same as above gift cards are great!

A PSN (Playstation Network) gift card would go great with the Playstation controller (Link Below):
http://www.game.co.uk/Accessories/PlayStation-3-PSP/Playstation-Network-Card-20/~r343951/?s=psn

Another Idea for gift card if £20 is too much, An iTunes gift card providing he has an iPod/iPhone they can be used for music, films, eBook's, apps and some other im sure. (These can be brought online at most retailers and also found in allot of shops just ask)

If you want to stick to the iTunes theme but still don't wont to spend that much Gift an App, its cheap but money isn't everything its more of a thoughtful gift imo and there are great apps out there and at really cheap prices for the run up to xmas.

Hope you find something nice and have a good xmas :)

Any good ideas for a 40th birthday gift?

Free Think

My "special friend" is turning 40 next month and I am trying to think of something very special and romantic, as much as possible. I was thinking about a hot air balloon ride but I don't think I can afford that. I was thinking that an activity of some type would be more meaningful and memorable than a material gift.

Any ideas?

Answer
a well planned out picnic on a ride to no where. just drive and find a spot. bottle of wine cheese crackers, potato or macaroni salad chicken rolls grapes and two cupcakes and a candle. oh and wine glasses, corkscrew and a blanket. just drive talk and when you see a good spot stop. and just enjoy each other for the day away from everyday life and stress. a great gift idea would be just a wonderful picture of yourself. if you live near a lake or ocean you could write I love you in the sand and lay down behind it in a cute casual pose and that would make a great picture if I love you is not what you want to say you could write happy birthday in the sand. Good luck

Gift ideas for my mom's 40th birthday?

She says she doesn't want anything, but I want to get her something. She's really into arts, crafts, sewing, and things like that.
I don't want to get her shoes or clothes because she has lots of them and if all else fails, I guess I will stick to a gift card, but I really want to get her something personal. Any suggestions are nice, thanks!

Answer
Any daimond if you can afford. As she is interested in swing then a good quality swing macine is ideal gift. You have not written price limit, as it is always one of the deciding factor.
If you can't able to get any better materialistic thing then - A beautiful smile, a caring and loving daughter, a sharing friend(daughter) who helps her in daily schedule is BEST gift for your mother.

From computers to tablets, Microsoft to Apple, are there any good holiday gifts to buy on a decent budget? $100-$500 or up if it's really that worth it…

It is the worlds most advanced eReader and has a battery life that lasts up to 8 weeks. It is $119 off amazon. but if you want the one with 3G and without special offers it can get up to $200. It is a really neat gift and great for all book lovers.

Fly fishing gift ideas?

theresa V

My dad is an experienced fly fisherman does anyone know of a gift I could give him? Vacations? Anything memorable? He's got all the equipment and even ties his own flies, we've gotten him supplies and all the gear before so not looking for anything materialistic. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Answer
Your father is very lucky to have people buy fly fishing themed gifts for him!
As you suggest he has most of the gear so fly fishing related gadgets would probably be off the cards- unless you go down the route of limited edition gear which I certainly would appreciate if i was in that situation.

I realize you didn't want to go down the material gift route, but here are some slightly unique and quirky pieces.
http://www.orvis.com/store/product_directory_showcase3.aspx?dir_id=1686&group_id=8138&cat_id=16935&subcat_id=16942

In terms of vacations it is simply a question of how much are you willing to spend and what does he enjoy fishing for? In the past I have used Orvis approved lodges and have found them very good:

what is gift for 15 year wedding anniversary?

desstan

Answer
Crystal is the traditional gift for the 15 year anniversary while watches make a modern 15 year wedding gift choice.

why is paper gifted to a couple on their 1st wedding anniversary?

Q. there is some sort of chain like for 2nd ann. they get cotton. who made this up? what else do u get for each passing year( gold for 50th ann.)? pls give the details as best as u can!

Answer
Each year the gifts get more expensive to celebrate each year you are together...

In the medieval times only milestone anniversaries like 25th and 50th were celebrated. To mark the occasion of Silver or 25th wedding anniversary a husband would crown his wife with a wreath of silver. Likewise, he presented her a wreath of gold on a Golden or 50th wedding anniversary. By middle-to-late 1930s, people began to celebrate 1st, 10th, 20th and 70th anniversary along with 25th and 50th. A gift for each of these milestone anniversary years was also decided by the society. The logic of presenting gifts was that stability deserves a reward and more the stability the greater should be the reward.

1 paper
2 cotton
3 leather
4 linen
5 wood
6 iron
7 wool
8 bronze
9 pottery
10 tin
11 steel
12 silk
13 lace
14 ivory
15 crystal
20 chinaware
25 silver
30 pearl
35 coral
40 ruby
45 sapphire
50 gold
55 emerald
60 diamond
65 blue sapphire
70 platinum

Romantic gift?

Sanka

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and its her first birthday since we got together, she means alot to me and its a serious relationship, but i have no idea what to get her! i need something romantic and unusual, what do you think i should get?

Answer
To show her that she's important, you don't have to spend a lot of money or come up with a grand idea. Make her feel special that day. Wish her a happy birthday early in the day. Send her flowers at work or at home...or show up with flowers. Let her know you're thinking of her throughout the day.

As far as gifts, a night out to a special restaurant with a good atmosphere is nice.

It's very romantic and thoughtful to get a gift from someone and realize they actually pay attention to things you say. ha ha. Is there something she's been eyeing that she wants (purse, mp3 player, new phone, book, music, jewelry)? What are her hobbies (reading, writing, sports, arts)? Does she collect anything?

What about personalized gifts or personal art. There is one company that can create a picture print with "your name" + "your girlfriend's name" written in the sand. It's like $25.95 and that includes shipping. That would be very romantic. http://www.mypersonalprint.com

What are truly romantic gifts to give for christmas?

I know it's early, but if it's something that takes time, I want to get started on it as soon as possible because she means so much to me. We've been dating for a little over 8 months and we're both 18. I'm in a long distance relationship so I've given many creative gifts (love letters, random letters, pots I made in my ceramics class, a list of 100 songs that made me think of her, 30 things I want to do with her, a necklace, a sand thing I bought on vacation, etc) I just want some truly good gifts that you either think are romantic (want to be given to you) or you know from experience that they are amazing gifts. Please list at least 5 things and be detailed if possible.

Answer
How thoughtful of you!

How about gifts based on the 12 days of Christmas?
Choose 12 things that mean something to you both and your relationship. These could be a country or a place that you went to for a vacation. Choose small gifts that are relative to these. i.e. a bracelet from somewhere you plan to go in the future or a hamper of foods from the first restaurant you took her to. Give her one of the 12 gifts on each day of Christmas.

Make tokens for 'action' gifts. You could have a token for a foot massage, a token for you cooking her dinner etc.

Collate some pictures of the two of you together and make an album of your past. Then, create an album for your future - put in pictures of places you want to take her and things you want to do with her. These can be of countries, towns, restaurants, games you want to play. You can even put in pictures of the house you want to live in with her and the car you want to drive her around in.

If you can't be with her, arrange a day at a beauty spa for her and a her friend. You can add personal touches to her day - like choosing her treatments and writing a card to explain why you chose them. i.e. I chose the pedicure because I love you from your head to the tips of your beautiful toes (slushy, I know)

Sorry, I can't think of a 5th idea, but I think you have plenty to go on there. My own boyfriend has done a few of these for me and I felt very lucky to get them.

$100 Visa Gift Card problem?

Gordelox

I just bought, one completely activated it online by adding an address and name to the card. Paypal is rejecting it. Wtf can I do, i feel like I just wasted 100 dollars....

Answer
did you register the card with the gift card issuer? could that be the problem?
read this aritlce it help explain how to use a gift card with paypal
Using Visa or American Express Gift Cards on PayPal

One of the most popular gift card questions online is whether one can link prepaid gift cards like the Visa gift card to a PayPal account. The short answer is Yes and No.

Now, the long answer: Yes, it is possible to link a prepaid gift card like the Visa or American Express gift card to a PayPal account but for this to happen, you need to pray and hope that PayPal does not require you to go through their Expanded Use verification process. To better understand why, you first need to be familiar with the process for linking a credit card to a PayPal account. When you link your credit card to a PayPal account, PayPal will attempt to confirm your address with your credit card company. If the credit card company is not able to confirm your address, then you may be asked by PayPal to complete their Expanded Use enrollment process in order to activate your credit card.

Expanded Use verification means PayPal will charge your credit card a small about. Next to the charge will be a unique, randomly generated 4-digit Expanded Use code. If you have online access to your credit card activity, the charge and code will appear on your card activity in approximately 2-4 business days. If you do not have online access, you must wait until you receive your statement in the mail to get the 4-digit code. If you are adding a debit card to your PayPal account, your 4-digit Expanded Use code will be printed on your bank statement next to the charge.

Once you get the 4-digit code, you have to return to your PayPal account to enter the code per instructions from PayPal. Once completed, and PayPal confirms that you entered the correct code, you will now be able to use the card for PayPal transactions. The Expanded Use verification process is designed to protect you against fraud by verifying that the person attempting to use the credit card actually owns the card. PayPal will later credit the amount charged to your card to your PayPal account.

Now, here lies the problem with using prepaid or bank issued gift cards. If PayPal is unable to verify your address with the gift card issuer, then you may be asked to go through the Expanded Use process. Since most prepaid gift cards do not issue monthly statements or provide online access to gift card transactions, it will be impossible to complete the Expanded Use process. Also, it is not a good idea to call the credit card or gift card issuer to get the 4-digit Expanded Use code. If PayPal receives a complaint from your card issuer that you called them to get the 4-digit code, PayPal will close your account permanently.

So, the first step to attempting to use a prepaid gift card on PayPal is to make sure the name and address (billing address) on your PayPal account matches the name and address on file with the gift card issuer. If you just purchased your prepaid gift card, call the card issuer and add your name and address to the card. If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card on PayPal.

Once this is done, you just have to hope that PayPal is able to successfully verify your address with the gift card issuer. If they are able to verify your address, then you are all set. If they cannot verify your address with the card issuer, then you probably will not be able to use that gift card on PayPal.

Gift ideas for my brother?!?

Rhine

My brother is 23.

He doesn't play any sports but he's really into fashion. However, I can't get him clothes because he won't wear anything that he doesn't pick himself.

He doesn't really have hobbies either.

I can spend around 100$, maybe more. But I don't want to give gift cards either because our presents are about what we pick for the other, not showing how much we spend, if that makes sense.

Any ideas please!!!

gift/Good books help?

RWAR!!!!!

So i figured out the perfect gift for my boyfriend/fiance person lol.
I want to get him an mp3 player and load it with a lot of audio books for him, but the problem is that i cant think of many good books, or less expensive ones to get for him. I know that hes a big fan of stephen king, and he liked the harry potter books, and he likes hero books (im guessing any classic good vs. evil types) with an epic hero or something. So if you have any or know of any good books, or anywhere to get them pretty cheep please let me know ^_^
Thank you so much.
one more quick thing to note, he's not the typical manly man type i guess, he actually likes chick flicks and stuff too (must love dogs, the notebook, ect) so an occasional book like that i want to add, but im not sure which ones to add?
also he's 31, so i really dont want any supper kiddie books if i can avoid it.

Answer
Get him a book that promotes masculinity, makes him feel good about being a guy. Something he can relate to.

Shopping malls in the Toronto area?

Aneesa Ahm

Hi! I'm new to the Toronto area and I am looking for a unique gift for a coworkers birthday, she likes fashion that's from other countries and basically likes anything that's one of a kind. Her house is filled with all these small curious and trinkets that are from all sorts of countries. I would like to know which stores/malls I could go to anywhere near Toronto that would have somethings that are unique. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Answer
To be honest Toronto is a city without its own identity: it is sort of a mish mash of other peoples identities, so you end up with very generic Toronto sweaters or something with the Toronto skyline. You can get some generic Candiana products like maple syrup or things to do with the beaver as well.

My recommendation for something really unique and extremely artistic is to look for some of the Native Canadian artwork. There are a few stores here and there, as mentioned above, but I do not know where the really nice stuff is. So, I recommend you check out the Native Art Museum (Bay of Spirits) downtown and perhaps they will have some stuff there to buy in addition to a nice museum, OR they could point you in the right direction.

Birthday gift for a friend..?

dan!elle

My best friend is turning 16 on the 4th of July. Could anyone give me some sweet gift ideas. I am going to hit the mall in a week, so I could get something from there..but I'm really not too great at coming up with ideas..
Ooops sorry, yeah she's a girl

Answer
Well.. 1st off, is your friend a boy or a girl.. because both sexes have different prefences on gifts :p

Boy:

if he has a car- maby a Satellite Radio-their not as expensive as you think, usualy around 30$ and he would love it.

if no car then it all depends on his interests. when you posted this question you should of included what sex the person was, and what interestest they have, it would make things alot easier for people answering your question.

Same with if its a girl, sorry i couldnt help, if i knew more about them i would be able to suggest better.=/

Best wishes. hope this helped!

birthday gift for friend?

tim b

what would be a good gift to get my friend for his birthday? i was thinking a personalized wallet or money clip. he is religious i could get him a line of scripture with his name on it? whatever the idea id like it to be personalized because he has never gotten anything personalized and he would get a kick out of it. he doesnt drink so a flask it out of the question as is something like a lap dance because he has a gf. he is going to be 23 and weve been friends for many years. so what would be an ideal gift that can be personalized. thanks for answers.

Answer
surprisingly, a lap dance would not have made it to my list at all!

he is your friend, so you know, but a money clip is pretty cumbersome and I can't imagine a guy pulling out his wallet and having it say "Bob"

I love the idea of something personalized.

Would he wear a chain with something like a dog tag on it (I was going to say a charm but that sounds girly .. but you know what I mean!)

Or what about something that represents an activity you share or he likes? A classic baseball in a case and have a brass plaque affixed, or bookends with a plaque, or a piece of art.....? Basically something he will want to keep for a long time (I have done that and had the plaque made at keyman and they are self adhesive)

visa vanilla gift card run as credit?

Dylan

so i'm starving and haven't eaten all day and have no money (college student) anyway i'm gonna be up the rest of the night studying for finals so i need to eat. i have a visa vanilla gift card and last night i had no money on it but was able to buy food by running it as credit, i did it accidentally. would it be able to work again?
wtf ali you didn't answer my fucking question bitch, I'M STARVING

Answer
Those cards are run as "credit" because they don't come with "pin" numbers. Debit cards need pins, credit cards don't They are backed by Visa so they run as a Visa credit card..

male kindergarden teacher gift?

stacey p

ok so my son is in kidergarden this year and has a male teacher.......ive never run into this problem and i have no idea what to get him for a christmas gift!!! any ideas?

Answer
I am a teacher, and I hate to say it, but most of the items kids give their teachers for Christmas wind up being thrown away or sent to the Salvation Army....

I truly do appreciate the gifts families send to me, and it means an awful lot that they sent anything - they certainly don't have to. I love a sincere note written by the child's own hand, honestly. I have several of the sweetest notes given to me by students; I save them, and on a bad day, I take them out and remember why I became a teacher in the first place.
That said, the gifts I have received, used and really appreciated have been the gift cards. With a gift card, I can buy something I need or want. My favorite gift cards are those to book stores, because I can use them to buy more books for my classroom library. I spend hundreds of dollars a year on my classroom, buying many books as well as other supplies, for my students. My kids are THRILLED when I bring in a bag of books from the book store, and they have sign-up sheets to decide who gets to use each new book first, second, third, etc. I know it sounds silly, but if you give me a gift card to a bookstore, I'll probably re-invest that money right back into your child, by getting a book he or she would enjoy reading.

The mugs, ornaments, stuffed animals, etc -- I appreciate the thought, I really do, but I don't have room for all that stuff. I don't eat chocolate, and I don't want food, because I'm overweight as it is! LOL - So, honestly, a note of appreciation is perfectly acceptable, and beyond that, gift cards are probably the most useful.

By the way, I have 27 students, and expect to receive, oh, perhaps 3 "purchased or monetary" gifts from students. I work in a very impoverished school area, which makes my heart break when I receive a gift I do not need from a child whose family I know struggles to make ends meet.....I'd rather those parents spend the money to make the child's holiday special..... I frequently get pictures colored by a child, or hand-written notes, or even crudely child-made decorations for my home. I love that the kids thought about me and spent time making something for me. I always make sure to mail a handwritten thank you note to every child during holiday break, whether the gift was a crayon picture or something rather expensive.
