i was looking through this catalog that had a "open your own oyster kit with an authentic pearl" in it. I thought it would be the greatest gift for my friend because it reminded me of a shop in Busch Gardens Europe. But i can't remember the name of the catalog! My twin was cleaning out the catalog basket and threw it away! All i remember is it came in the mail not to long ago and it had some kind of wooden mind puzzles or wooden toy things in the front and it was called odds and ends or this or that, i honestly cant remember, but it was _______ and ________ or _________ or __________. i cant remember if that is right or not, but it sticks in my mind, so im pretty sure its something like that. i wish i would have looked at the name because i have googled it and cant find anything. the only thing found was the lighter side and they dont have anything i am looking for. So if you have received this in your mail, can you please tell me the name of this catalog or if you receive novelty catalogs, please list a few names. Or any catalog or website that offers this item, please let me know. I remember it also had old looking coins banks in it. One was a chipmunk and one was a golfing bank if that helps any. But i need these for Christmas and i wanted to get them before they go out of stock. But they were around .50 for one. Please help me! thanks so much!

Can the school keep the creators from walking at graduation? That's what I'm worried about, unless there are actual laws on it. It's an official anti-prom. Details: My class is broke. Prom will be expensive. In my sophomore and junior years, I wrote an entire folder of at least 50 fun fundraiser ideas and submitted it to the class advisers. I didn't dare run against the oldies; they were the rich girls that got away with cheating on their Regents tests, so they also have okay grades. When I didn't get any feedback, I heard from the head honcho "____turned in this folder with a bunch of stupid ideas. Even _____ said they were gay." So we're exercising those same fundraisers to have an anti-prom as an example of what hard work and responsibility is. Their resolution is to cry because the class has no aptitude for selling baskets of 0 fruit and gift cards to restaurants that aren't around here. It's going to be integrated and off-campus. So since it is specifically to go against the class' prom, is it illegal?

I'm trying to figure out what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. I thought of this idea where I leave a trail of notes with clues that lead him to the next destination and ultimately leading to the location of where I've got a picnic set up with gift(s?) for him hidden in the bottom of the basket. -.-'' Here's where I come to a problem. I've no idea what to get him.. I've got one idea of a engraved flip photo frame key chain.. and an idea of making a wooden box at my grandfather's workshop and putting a key inside claiming it to be the "key to my heart". XD Corny, I know but he likes the kind of romantic stuff. I want to give him something that will just excite him. I'm not talking about like some sexy thing.. like a material possession. Thanks for answering!

I am 16 and my mom is leaving me with the Christmas shopping for my brother and my nephew. My nephew is five and he is easy but my brother is 16 and very hard to find out what to get. My budget is 25$ for both (so make it 13$ each if I use a few dollars of mine) On top of that we get 250$ (my brother and I, split between my mom and my dad because they're divorced..well soon) What can I get for him? Last Christmas I got him out of my own money a basket ball hoop thing that goes on his door so he can play it in his room....he never set it up nor used it....For valentines day I got him a stonehendge thing and he played it ONCE. I want to get him something that he'll play or use. Gift card to gamestop for 10$? My brother has a gameboy advance sp, the new 2 screen ones, gamecube, and PS2 (or 3???) I am getting him either gameboy or gamecube games. Maybe one of each if they're cheap. I am only getting E rated games. Gamestop is where I'll get them (the actual store) but if good I may get it from the website. would he like any of these gamecube games? The incredibles (T, but looks ok) SSX Tricky Tony hawk pro skater 3, 4 Racing Evolution pro rally driven pool paradise he reads, watches movies, plays on the computer and his videogames..that's about it. He's not interested into playing an instrument or listening to music. I could get some books...there are good ones at the thrift stores I think he'll like.

We've all helped out friends a time or two and even got the help of a friend a time or two but, I wonder, if a complete and total stranger truly needed help, would you help them? I wonder just how charitable and giving people are or are we so afraid to extend ourselves that we feel we can't or we won't. I cite one example for you. Durring a christmas season some 11 years ago we made baskets of food and crates of gifts for all of the poor and less fortunate folks we could find. I gave this basket of food and toys for this mans 5 children and he just absolutly wept. He looks at me and sais; "You just don't know what its like untill you have absolutly nothing!." Pheww. I got all chocked up for sure. I mean the guy's cupboards were all but empty. His fridge was bare! He was sick and seriosly injured and couldn't work. All I know is reaching out like that changed my life forever.

We made our usual trip to the grocery store today. My mom is 97 and uses a walker. While I shop she picks up a couple of things in her little basket and walks the aisles for exercise. At the checkout, my mom came up behind me. A cashier from another line brought a store gift card to my mom and said it was a gift card from another shopper and Merry Christmas. My mom took the card but was not sure what was going on. She walked up to me and said her legs were giving out, so I took her two items and ran them through with mine. She sat on a bench they have near the checkout lines. After I got my basket, I went to help her up from the bench. She started fussing at me for getting her a gift card. I told her i didn't do it......so then she blamed my husband who was home taking a nap. She finally got the idea that it was a gift from a stranger. she said there was no way she could accept it (Money is not a problem with her) She came home and cried off and on all afternoon and evening because someone felt she was so pitiful they had to give her money. My suggestion was to give the money to a food bank. What should I do to make her feel better about what happened ????????????????? I told her someone is feeling good about doing something for a nice person and that was all it was. I tried telling her she may have reminded them of their own grandparents and they wanted to do something nice for her. Believe me my mind was churning and my lips flying! She grew up being extremely frugal and strong memories of the Depression still weigh on her mind. She wants to owe no one and be self sufficient. She feels is an large amount of money to give a stranger for any reason other than feeling sorry for them. It just blew my mind whe would get so upset over it.....we all laughed. Skip to breakfast this morning: She wants me to dye her hair and cut it for her. She also said she wasn't going to walk in the grocery store anymore. She would just sit and wait for me.......LOL. I promised to fix her hair, but also told her she WOULD be going with me to the grocery store to walk. Someone did something nice for her......and she was going to give it to the store's Food for Christmas project. I told her if she felt people were taking pity on her, for her to stand up straight and act like she was 88. My thanks to all who have given such great ideas and great insight into the situation. You helped me firm up my own convictions. She's a trip...on a roller coaster! Bless you all!

I said yea like an easter basket... she said no not candy maybe clothes... I responded... Well no then i dont think you should, its easter not christmas. no offense. was I wrong to say that? I'm just being honest with her thats how I feel, its like using Easter as an excuse to give gifts or receive gifts... isn't that ridiculous?

My boyfriend's (of 10 months) sister has a new baby and I bought her a basket full of baby items. I picked out the basket myself and I bought everything separate to add to it. It took me a lot of time to do this..I was at the store for 45 minutes finding "perfect" items to go into the basket. THEN..I went home and took another 30 minutes to arrange everything nicely in the basket..and it took me another 20 minutes to write a little note in a "congrats on your new baby" card. All this cost me a lot of time and over . I never met this sister before. I sent her this basket because I love her brother very much and I thought it would be nice to send her something for her baby..plus I thought it would open a door to start communications with her. HOWEVER, I never got a Thank You from her. I thought maybe she would call me to say thank you..or send me a card..or an email on face book..but I got NOTHING. And it bothers me. Her brother (my boyfriend) said to me "my sister got the gift and likes it" That's all he said. I don't know if that was her way of saying thank you...through him. ??? The whole thing bothers me. Should it be bothering me? Am I overreacting? To Little Star- yes I have a baby myself. As I said, even a "facebook email thank you" would have been nice..so not expecting a "GRAND thank you"..as you put it. And, she is in another state..20 hours away....so it's not like I can just go visit her. Thanks to everyone so far for your answers. :)

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 6-7 months... I've met his family and are getting close to them. He was in a bad marriage before and his mother says even since little he's been so weird about being around people he used to take his christmas gifts into his room and open them by himself. Also for about the past month we've been practically living together. Just trying to give you backstory. Well I understood when he didnt want to come up on christmas, it was still pretty early. I asked him to come up for easter with his two little girls for only like 20 mins. I said they could come up the little girls could get their easter baskets and he could have a cookie and it would be done and over with. Well, by six he didn't show so I called them, he started making all these excuses that the girls were dirty and he didnt want my family to judge him, so I left my aunts, went to his sisters house to give the girls their presents, we didnt speak. I left and went back to my aunts. I told him later that night that he knew it was really important to me and how hurt I was. I didnt sleep at his house last night. We're kinda talking, he still wants me to look at this rental property with him today. Sorry for rambling but I am just so frustrated. Pretty much my family thinks he's rude and ignorant, my mom now hates him, because he also snubs her but I see my life with him. I dont know what to do. How do I make this right?

So far I have about 15-18 friends (not even including family) that i need to get Christmas gifts for. I'm thinking of going to the dollar store and making the women "beauty baskets" and the men chocolate or something. Anyhow, this is going to come to like 40-60 dollars, and i really don't feel like spending that much. I have a limited budget, but these people are very important to me, and i have to get them gifts. I would classify myself as an utterly classy person, and i hate the idea of getting people i love gifts from the dollar store. I still have to get charitys and non profit organizations gifts, and donate money, which leaves limited funds for the nice gifts for my mom Please help, and please don't say "don't get everyone gifts" Lots of love and Merry Christmas, Lana

I am making each of my sisters a basket with a dvd, manicure scrub, hand cream, nail file, nail polish, and nail polish remover in them. I want to call them some sort of "movie manicure set" but I can't come up with something creative enough! I'm putting instructions on top, emphasizing the fact that we are four sisters, and we can do this together: watch a movie and do our nails. I can't come up with a name for the gifts though to put on top of the directions. Please help!

Things have been hectic with work, which has carried over into our home life. The company is growing and he's working non-stop to maintain his current position. He's overwhelmed and uncertain. I want to make him feel better. I've been cooking dinner, being there for him to talk, giving him back rubs. Things are fine when he's home, but I know he dreads his days. I want to send him something at work to make things brighter. Maybe a gift basket of gourmet snacks, or something? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what a man might enjoy delivered to work? Any websites that I can do this through?

and what was it? Mine was honestly accidental. 2 Christmas' ago I was gift shopping, and I picked up some lipgloss, and threw it in the front part of my basket, well my purse was open, and I threw it in there. when I got home, I was mad because I thought it had fallen out, later I found it in my purse. I didnt wanna go back and tell them, so I gave to the Salvation Army (the guys ringing the bell in front of the store) the next time I went back.

Well, I don't know if you know, but Christmas is in about 170 days. And that makes NaKeisha happy! But I do have a couple questions about Christmas . . . . 1. Why do you like Christmas? 2. What is the best food served around/on Christmas (i.e. Sugar cookies, candy canes)? 3. What should I ask for? In my family, if you want a anything present, you need to have your list in by September 1st. So I'm doing mine now. So I need a list of things under that are popluar teen gifts. 4. I'm making gifts this year, and I was thinking of making baskets of homeade food. My family is very busy, and cooking is kind of hard to do some days. I like a lot of things . . . I sing, act, and bake a lot. I love charity work, and I am currently working on my Silver award in Girl Scouts. I also like to lift weights at the gym :) Yeah, it makes me feel super powerful :) Oh, we aren't allowed to give gift cards. And my allowence already goes on a Visa Card.

Our HOA is managed by a smaller local management company. I also serve on our local HOA board with 2 other neighbors. This morning I called our management company about a leak in our building and was totally distracted by this comment. Manager" I was just making out my Christmas List for my properties". Me " what do you mean? " Manager" you know how we sent out David and Harriets gift baskets?" Manager " your hoa president was kind enough to email our management company and stated this" " Dear Management, if you are going to send out Christmas presents this year, please do not send me any fruitcakes and I do not like fruitcake!" Me " I am soo soo soo embarrassed, and ashamed that our president said this! Please do not let this be a reflection on the rest of our board!~" Personally I am mortified that an adult professional woman would send that email to our hired management company! Is there anyway to make sure they understand how apologetic I am for this assss??

My best friend is turning 16 and this is more special than any other 16th birthday because she has stage 3 cancer and has some good days and some bad days, so who knows what will happen. A few friends and i are coming together to buy her either one big gift or a bunch of little gifts to put in a gift basket. I want to make sure it's something she can enjoy still despite being sick and can actually use (like not something that she can't be near or eat or something cause of the chemo). What would you suggest?

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.

Hey everybody. I'm the youngest of my family at 15 (16 in two months). It always used to be a tradition that my brothers (19 and 20 now) and I would get Lifesaver Storybooks in our stockings on Christmas morning. Now this year I'm making gift baskets for my parents and brothers, and thought it would be cool to add something from back when we were younger. But for the past.... oh, 5 years now, I haven't seen them. Why? Have they stopped making them, or do I just need to check somewhere else? Oh and yes, I know they're a seasonal item. Thanks, I make sure to check there this year!

You have a basket containing ten Christmas Presents. You have ten friends, who each deserve a gift. You give each friend one gift. After a few minutes each of your friends has one gift each, yet there is a gift remaining in the basket. How?

I have no idea what to get my mom or dad for christmas. if this helps: My mom like gardening, pretty things and cooking. shes somewhat spiritual and is an herbalist. My dad is a nature person too. Loves the out doors. Very practical person. think a little more then "get your mom gardening gloves and a basket with seeds and tools" and "get your dad a hiking stick" or things along thoes lines. Last year I got my mom a copper heart wind chime from gaiam and my dad a cherry pit neck pillow that you can heat in the microwave.

My secretary is good, not great, but OK. She always gives me a gift each year for x-mas (ornament or some desk item - paperweight, trinket etc...). A - gift. I'm not into giving gifts but have felt obligated since the first time she gave me a gift and I didn't have one for her. Two years ago I gave her a gardening set (she's into growing flowers) and last year I had my wife get a shampoo, bath, etc... basket from Bed Bath and Beyond. I don't think the last gift went over too well (maybe a little too personal?). I don't know any other of her hobbies. She's not real open about her personal life. Anyway I need some new ideas - price range.

Ok here is what I have got. It's for my niece. I have a pack of 10 white bobby socks 6-12 months (from Target), 3 pack of animal print socks pink and purple also 6-12 months (from Target), a pair of white socks with a pink lady bug and ruffle 3-6 months (Gymboree), a pair of cream colored socks with a giraffe 3-6m (Gymboree), a white stocking cap with rabbit ears 0-3m (Gymboree), 6 pack of gender neutral washcloths (Target), 2 pair of mittens newborn (Target), a sweater that is blue green orange and gray 0-3m (Children's Place-it's actually boys and matches one I have for my son), fleece pink white and green strip hoodie 0-3m (The Children's Place). First tell me what you think about the items......now what do you think knowing I only paid under for all of it including tax? If I paid full price it would have been over . Do you think that is too cheap knowing the actual price I paid? I also have a patchwork dress 6-9m (TCP), pink shirt long sleeves 6-9m (TCP), purple elephant onesie 9m (Target), purple summer minnie mouse romper 3-6m (Sears), jean dress 3-6m (TCP), pink capri's 3-6 or 6-9m (TCP). If I gave them everything it would be a little over with the regular cost for all the items being over 5. I was thinking of saving some of the things for Christmas and easter. We make my other niece a basket for easter and I plan to do it for both of them every year. As you can see I'm good at finding deals but do you think this is too cheap or is it okay? I was planning on also getting a basket to put all the stuff in and throwing in some baby wipes, shampoo, and disposal bags. What do you all think?

A close co-worker/friend's daughter just had a baby six months ago and he was diagnosed with leukemia a couple weeks ago. He's going through chemo right now and through Christmas. My co-workers and I want to help out somehow but we don't know what to do. Should we take up a collection of money for the little expenses? Or get a "gift" basket together? Any ideas would be helpful, but we are just at a loss because nothing can really make the parents feel better, we were just hoping to get something together to let them know that we all care so much and are praying for them.

My mother doesn't like my boyfriend/ex-bf for many reasons- he's 22 and doesn't plan on getting a job/focusing on graduating community college for a few months because he's busy running track and goofing around, and is extremely immature. But after what he did on Valentine's day, she finally expressed that I should dump him. On Christmas and our 6 month anniversary he got me nothing. (I've spent almost ,000 on him on his birthday/vacations/dinner I've made him etc) And, so when Valentine's day came along I was hoping for a relatively nice gift, seeing as he hasn't gotten me more than a bouquet of flowers during our 8 month relationship. When I told my mom that all the got me was 3 flowers and a teddy bear ( and I had gotten him a gift basket worth more than ), she flipped out and wanted me to break up with him because she saw it as immature, unthoughtful, and treating me poorly. And although he doesn't have a *steady* job, he makes roughly 0 a month working for his sister and she is always telling him he can work for her if he needs money. Plus his parents are loaded, so he could have always asked them for money so I don't think lack of money is a good excuse. His excuse was "that's what you're supposed to do for girls on v-day, right? flowers. that's what I thought..." What do you think? serena- I guess I should have specified- I'm asking this question of girls who are not homeless or pushovers or are worthless... so don't go saying guys should get away with giving nothing to their girlfriends on v-day just cause it's a commercial holiday, cause you know what, so is life.

I want to get my friends and teachers something special for (mine and their) graduation. I want it to be creative and maybe funny! For christmas I gave everyone a stress ball (home-made of course) by putting flour into baloons (neon)! That took hours, but it was worth it... and then put it in a basket with candy. I want it to be creative and memorable! I am willing to try anything! (Please make it a special idea) ABSOLUTELY NO KNICKKNACKS! *Two close friends (female) *one guy friend (not to be confused with boyfriend) *Five other good friends *Two distant but nice friends

Okay, I fall into the same trap every year. There are specific days I have to shop for every year: mother and grandmothers' birthday, Christmas, and Mother's day. Christmas is easier than the other two for some reason. When I was a little boy, what I did was make homemade Mother's day cards and make breakfast (bowl of cereal and juice, lol.) Over the years, it seems I keep giving the same things: cards, flowers, candy, clothes, shoes, baskets, money, and I honestly can't come up with anything else. I usually get gifts for my aunts, mother, and grandmothers on Mother's day. I don't like to give everyone the same thing on the same day. Like, if I give my mother clothes and a card, I will give my grandmothers a card and flowers, and alternate every year. So any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. :-) Sorry, but I didn't know the correct section to ask in, so I picked this one. :-)

a warehouse or website like campbells that sell gourmet products for gift baskets or do I have to go to individual distributors. I am also looking for a company that can produce/make my designs in ribbons, baskets. I go onto the internet & find myself going around in circles, too much info

Hello, I am looking for ideas on what to get my 13yr old son for Christmas. He is already getting an MP3 player, a video game, money, but I am looking to do something a little more creative or unexpected... I thought about putting together a themed basket of some sort filled with items around a certain theme, anywho, if you have some ideas or suggestions that would be awesome!! Blessings and Merry Christmas!

Okay so I'm in college and I want to get something for my mom for Christmas. I'm trying to think of cool things to get her so this morning while waiting in line I came up with the idea that I'd make her a huge gift basket. The basket would include massage oils like Lavender and peppermint, eye covers, a collection of starbucks coffees, a gift card to the movies, and random gift cards like me cleaning, cooking dinner, doing grocery runs, doing laundry, etc. Does this sound like a good idea? Would you like this gift? Thanks. =] Oh and I wanted to get her the daily devotional that she likes kinda like her favorite things basket lol I'm excited. =]

We never receive much as a Christmas bonus at my company. But I was at least happy with the 0.00 Toys R Us Gift Card I would routinely receive every year along with a box of candy. But this year is different. My boss asked me if I needed a Couch because he had no room in his home to keep it. It was his wifes grandmas couch. It is used but in good condition & I needed one. A matter of fact he even helped me carry it into my house. Today he gave out our x-mas bonuses to everyone which included a small food & cracker basket and an envelope with a card in it. Everyone received 0.00 in the envelope except for me. Mine was just an card - no money - no gift card -EMPTY. Why? I thought. But it could only be one thing HE IS CONSIDERING THE COUCH AS MY BONUS. So, here I am with a cheated feeling because everyone has an extra 0.00 and I don't. Not to mention I don't have that Toys R Us card to help with christmas gifts. Help me get over this. ADVICE ANYONE?

Hi, I'm a 16 year old High school student. I'm helping a family of four have a Christmas this year by supplying them with gifts. In the family there's a mother, father, 14 year old son, and 10 year old daughter. I also have to put together a food basket. So far, I have the 10 year old daughter covered. I've made a food basket list out, and a toiletries list I just need any ideas for the mother's, father's and son's gifts. Please keep price in mind, I am on a budget. Thank you :)

My friend, sadly, has cancer. She is so young (in her twenties). What are nice ideas for gifts I can get her? (Keep in mind that I’ll be mailing the gift since she lives far away, i.e., it can’t be a fresh basket of fruits, etc.). Also, what are ways in which I can show support?

for Christmas- a movie night basket (filled with snacks and gift card to Blockbuster or a movie), or a gift card to someplace (and if gift card, where to?). They are ages 11-14.

A few years back there was a horrible flood in my father in law's house and all the photo albums, which were in a basket on the floor, were ruined, so now my father in law has no pictures of his children, or anything. He has mentioned more then once how sorry he is to have lost all the pictures of his 6 children. I am a gifted scrapbooker, and though I know I can't replace those priceless photos, do you think he would appreiciate a new album done with pictures that I do have (I have known the family for years and have a few of his daughters, and of course my husband) SInce it would take some time, I would have to start soon to collect everything and assemble it by Christmas, but do you think it would be well received, or somehow insulting?

What is your opinion on regifting? Have you ever regifted? Or have you been the recipient of a regift? How did it make you feel? For the record: I have been a recipient of regifting. One Christmas I spent a lot of time putting together a gift basket that I thought my mother-in-law would enjoy. I put all sorts of things in the basket like bubble bath, bath salts, candles, etc. I thought it was really nice. Then about one month later I brought my children over to visit her and to my surprise my mother-in-law came out of the bathroom carrying the bubble bath I gave her. She said "Oh do you want this? I got it from someone for Christmas and I have no need for it." while she waved her hand in a nonchalant way. I sat there in shock and just took the bubble bath back. What else could I do? I couldn't believe that she didn't remember that I was the one who gave it to her! It really hurt my feelings as I thought it was something she would truly enjoy. So, what are your experiences? Thanks! Jackolis - I definitely would have felt better if she had given it to a hospital patient or even someone else who would have enjoyed it. I was more shocked that she gave it back to ME! But, I guess mistakes do happen. I got over it and never gave her bubble bath again :)

I order a number of gift baskets from a reputable company that I have used and trusted in the past. They guarenteed delivery by christmas when you order by a certain date. I ordered well within the time limit. its now 2 days after christmas and 2 of my gifts have not arrived. According to the tracking device the gifts are still in a city 300 miles away from their destination. It a four hour drive and they gifts have been at the fedex office since dec 23rd. Their guarentee said "we'll make it right" but wasn't any more specific. I have no idea how they would make it right and what I should expect. Does anyone know what happens in these situations? if they ask me what I want out of this what should I say or ask for? Is it reasonable to ask for a partial or full refund if they don't meet the guarentee. I already emailed the company to explain the situation. oh and please be polite. I don't want to be stingy with these people but I did spend alot of money at their website. Also in case anyone is wondering I have written proof of delivery guarentee

We already are doing the following: - Christmas Party in early December(dinner theater comedy show, guest invited) - Cash bonus - Gift card for their favorite grocery store (in lieu of turkeys, we don't get a great response when we give turkeys anymore) - Hallmark ornament customized to their personal hobbies - Custom snowman wall plaque (www.familysigns.com) - Rainy Day Fund jar with a gift card inside to their favorite store - Continental Breakfast on 12/22 Not sure what else to give them. We always give gift baskets full of something. One year it was a breakfast theme with about 0 worth of stuff in it and a gift card. One year we did digital cameras. We thought this year we'd do 5-6 gifts around -20 each for each employee and hand them out one at a time (sort of "santa" style) under the tree. We only have 8 employees so it is managable. Any ideas? We want to keep it personalized & useful for everyone - most employees are in their 40s or 50s.

I know this is long but I tried to give you a lot of detail to get the best ideas :P I know it's early, but I want to start thinking about what I can make for my siblings for Christmas. 4 sisters, 5 brothers (some are in-laws, just so you know hah) I'm 16 but will have sufficient funds because I have a great job and am saving now. all my siblings are between 29 and ..35 I think.. they all have various tastes so I need general things that they would all like. I make variations of the same thing for all the girls, and the same deal for the guys. so I need a women's idea and a men's idea. here's what I previously made, to give you an idea: girls- bookmarks guys- coasters (that was A LOT of work, lol) girls- earrings guys- peanut brittle girls- resin keychains with their favorite quote/saying embedded in it (that was awesome because it's not an easy feat and it was so rewarding to see them impressed that I had made them myself) guys- peanut brittle again (its a guaranteed hit so I'm thinking I might just do that again; they've probably come to look forward to it lol) I'm not looking for "gift basket!" "chocolate!" "candy!" "bake something!". I want something practical, that they will enjoy but that also took at least moderate skill and effort. I have PLENTY of time, and really enjoy projects. thank you so so much! :] Merry very early Christmas! SuziQ, I love that idea!

Well I feel kind of dumb asking this, but maybe you guys could throw some ideas out there? For my two best friends Christmas presents, I was thinking of making them little gift baskets of things that I think they would like. I've got a few ideas, but other than that, their baskets seem like they are going to be pretty close to empty. They're both teenagers (16 & 17). Friend #1: Pretty artsy, funny, outgoing, likes movies (but owns a TON), likes to read, and my best friend ever. We're total opposites, and I think that's what makes it hard even though she's my best friend. Her basket- -Card -Homemade cookies -A mixed CD -Nail polish -Elvis mug and hot chocolate set (she likes Elvis) Friend #2: Sporty, health nut, funny, sweet, softball player, etc. (Not the most helpful descriptions, I know.) Her basket: -Card -Comfy Aeropostale sweats -Homemade cookies (She'll eat them even if they're not healthy!) -CD -Bath stuff (for achey muscles) I don't want a whole bunch of expensive ideas. Neither of them are really into make-up or any particular beauty items. I was thinking a book or a movie, but I'm not sure which ones. Maybe something as a joke gift? I'm up for any suggestions! Thank you!

I am an independent contractor who has worked for the same man for about 1 1/2 years now. Around Christmas, he sent me some chocolates, which I thanked him for. I sent him a small gift basket, and heard nothing back about it. I figured he was just busy....About a week ago, his wife gave birth, so I sent a small gift to him and his family...and didn't hear anything back. I asked him yesterday thru email if he received a package from me, and he completely ignored the question. Now I'm worried I offended him in some way...is it in poor taste to send small gifts like that to a boss? We have a good working relationship, but perhaps he sees it as a bribe? Any thoughts? Oh, just to clarify, I work remotely...so I've only met him face-to-face twice...most of the time we communicate through email. Geeky - yeah, that was my fear, that it was improper. Since I'm contract, and do not have contact with anyone else he employs, there wasn't the option of pooling money for a gift. To be safe, I will probably keep it at a note from now on. Firehourse - I did think of that time span thing before I emailed him; it being only a week since I sent it...but given that he never mentioned the Christmas gift, I wanted to just make sure the package arrived.

One of my clients want this party. What do you think of it? Please ask your child! She is turning 10! Ask your child all about it! Ask them if they would come to it! Please! This is my clients daughters request (BTW I am a party planner): Invitations- They will send their invites online on EVites. I recommended that to them, because it saves some money. They sent their invites on email. All the girls came! The invites had a design and it had all the info. Info of the party: This is a Bunco Party. The girls will eat dinner, play Bunco and have a sleepover. I am basically the director, that is why the mother hired me, to keep control. We will have 30 girls at the party, counting the birthday girl. We will have parent volunteers helping out at each table to make it easy. The party will start off down stairs with music, dinner, cake and ice cream. Then they will play Bunco. Then they will open presents while parents are tabulating the winners. The winner, 1st runner up and loser gets a gift basket with little things. Then the girls will get in PJ's, set up sleeping bags and have a sleepover. Then they will watch a movie, then they would have a good breakfast in the morning. They would have an awesome goody bag, and we would have a lot of snacks! At each table, when they are playing, they would have a bowl of snacks. We will also serve smoothies and take lots of pictures!

So my barn is having its annual christmas party at my trainer's house. We're doing a Pollyanna. We drew names today. I'm stumped as to what I should get, so I need some creative ideas. The girl has her own pony (palomino halflinger) named Daisy. The girl herself is... somewhere between 10 and 12. I know shes not older than 12, but defiantly not younger than 10. I was thinking about getting her a Breyer horse, but then I thought that shes only a few years younger than me and I wouldn't really want a horse figurine thingy. The price range is between 10 and 25 maybe 30 dollars. Then I thought maybe a grooming kit thingy- everyone can always use new brushes and stuff. Maybe like a little basket with a brush, curry comb, hoof pick, lead line, sweat scraper, maybe even a crop. Theres an equine store that has cheap grooming stuff that'll last a while. Or, I though of a gift card... but I don't want to seem like im lazy and don't care. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! (PS- I cant get a halter for the pony... I know that the girl, Madi, just got her a brand new really nice leather one. =) ) Thanks! Horse lover- Under . A blanket itself would probably be +. (: And the food idea seems kinda cool. =) Maybe a food item for her and her pony... like treats or somthing. Nice idea!

So why do we celebrate Christmas with so much more fanfare than Easter? Christmas celebrates Jesus Christ's birth, and Easter celebrates His death and resurrection. Why are there no Easter carols? Why don't people travel across country, or across the world, on Easter, or even Good Friday, to be with family? Why don't we give Easter presents (aside from little kids getting easter baskets with gifts, eggs, chocolates, etc. in them)? Does it have to do with how we celebrate and are joyous when a birth happens, and sad and mournful when a death happens? Jesus' death upon the Cross was not a sad death like you normally have happen to your friends and family. It was sad to see how he suffered and died, but the good news is that he's ALIVE. He defeated death, hell, and the devil! If anyone saw "The Passion of the Christ", you remember the scene with the devil getting angry after Jesus' death. The devil knew that Jesus was VICTORIOUS forevermore!!

Has anyone read it? Is it as good as the rest of his novels? My neice is asking for it for Christmas so I'm picking up a copy to stick in the gift basket I'm making her. Is it good enough to have me picking up an extra for myself? Thanks!

Hey there, so I have decided to make a donation to the humane socitey for Christmas. I am going to make a gift basket. I was thinking maybe I could get like a big mop bucket, fill it with rawhide bones for the dogs, cat toys for the cats, take some cat litter in there, toys, some batteries, towels, things like that. Here are some things that are needed. http://www.gwmhs.org/Donation/Donation.asp So any ideas of what I could do? Thanks! PS I'd be spending my own money on this. They don't list food on tehl ist, and I claled them and they said that they are getting food already. xD So I'm just donating some stuff.

A co-worker of mine had a miscarriage at Christmas time, then a d&c a few weeks later. She is having a really rough time and I would like to get her something. She's having a really hard time sleeping. I'd hate to call it a gift, but that's kind of what I'm looking for. I was thinking of a basket with some candles, chamomile tea, lotion. What else could I put in the basket that would help her out at this time? She's defenitely not staying private about it. She talks a lot about it with me and how bad she's sleeping. I am her shoulder to cry on. I just want to help her sleep better.

For christmas this year, I'm making gift baskets with homemade bath products. The thing that i am concerned about is how long will these products last for? Some of them contain powdered milk and are all dried ingredients, while others have dried milk, essential oils and water added to them. I planned on storing them in glass bottles and jars, will this keep the products fresh? My mom is one of the people who will be receiving a basket, and it usually takes her up to a year to use a jar of bath salts. I just don't want to give her something that will go bad quickly. Thanks :)

My friend just had her first baby. She lives in Tx and her husband is in the military. He just left for 6 months overseas. She is coming here (FL) next week and staying with her mom for 3 weeks. I want to get her and her little girl a present. Ive already sent a cookie congrats basket to her house, but I want to give them something for Christmas when I see them. I have 3 boys, so Im a little out of touch with what to get for a baby girl. She has plenty of clothes and blankets. Also, whats a great gift to get a new mom? I loved it when people brought me cooked meals, but shes staying with her mom, so thats not an issue. Any ideas for both of them? thanks :)

Now, I understand there is both sides to this, but I want to hear more opinions on it. Heck, maybe one of you will change my mind but so far, this is how I stand. Of course, children should have imagination but shouldn't they come up with this on their own? Why force them to believe a bunny gives them candy, or a fat guy brings them presents, or a fairy gives them cash for losing a tooth? I'm not trying to be cynical or anything, but I guess I'm just not grasping the point. Either way, a kids tooth is going to fall out, I'm going to give my children christmas gifts and easter baskets, why tell them someone else is doing it? Marsh, I respect parents who indulge in Santa, etc also. I just want to see why :D Thanks for your input! Simply Kelly, so you felt like if you had believed in Santa, it could've been more enjoyable? Thanks for your input :) t17sweetangel, That's another good point, they should learn the real reasons of Christmas and gift giving :) Thank you for your input! #1 on the way :D, that's a good point, I think one present from Santa is nice :)

I am putting together a gift basket for my boyfriends mother, whom I am meeting for the first time at Christmas. All I know about this woman is that she likes to drink cold or iced tea. However, I am not a tea drinker and know nothing about it. So if anyone has any ideas for brands or flavors of tea I could include, as well as accompanying food like cookies or biscuits, whatever, I would appreciate it. Please help me!!! Thank you.

A friend ordered a big gift basket and flowers for me online to be delivered to me. I hadn't updated him with my new address so it was delivered to my old apartment. We saw the status that it was delivered yesterday. Would it be rude if I drove there Monday to ask whoever lives there to return the gift basket and card to me? So far they have never forwarded any mail I have had delivered there (for example I know for a fact I've received mail there from people who didn't have my new address and they never returned it to sender or had it forwarded to me). Do I have a right to ask them?

My MIL is obsessed with everything being "picture perfect for Christmas, pretty much for pretty pictures, not the experience. "I'm" not very traditional. i don't dress up to be around people I see all the time. I don't use wrapping paper or gift bags. I Use baskets, stockings and reusable bags for gift giving. I just HATE all the waste. I put a damper on her ideal of what Christmas should be. What's more important HAVING a good time or just looking like it for pictures? I'm okay not looking like a rag doll, but i refuse to go and spend 0 on dresses that we will ware 1 time only around people we see 4 times a week.

My friend, sadly, has cancer. She is so young (in her twenties). What are nice ideas for gifts I can get her? (Keep in mind that I’ll be mailing the gift since she lives far away, i.e., it can’t be a fresh basket of fruits, etc.). Also, what are ways in which I can show support?

Backround Info: I am 18, so is my girlfriend who i have dated the past 2 years. We hang out quiet a bit, were typical 18 year olds, we go out n party, have sex all that fun stuff but besides from watching movies and hanging out together at our places we dont get out and do different stuff so much So for my idea for christmas i want to make a calander.. then come up with 52 ideas/gfts on stickers and have her pick them out 1 by 1 and whatever she pulls is what we do that week... I figure it will spice things up and every week we will have something different going on.. My main problem is - 1. I am on a budget and 2. I cant think of 52 different things to do. I live in Upstate New York so it is seasonal, so i was thinking id have her draw from 4 sept "bags" or whatever to keep her from pulling something we cant do because of weather.. I would like to do 1 "bigger" thing each month and 3 smaller things, basically what ive come up with so far is Restraunt Gift Cards/Out to dinner, Ice skating, Bowling,Motel gift card and have a little sex basket, "Massage Night" but instead of going out make a basket full of oils/candles, etc, and NYC trip (can b expensive). I am on a budget but how i see it is some of it i can just make little "coupons" so i can pay for them later... but i would like things for her to open as well so im looking for more ideas and even ideas that i could have gifts to go along with.. let me know what ya think of the idea and give me some help, Thanks

My close friend/colleague is currently going through a divorce. Needless to say, she is devastated and I feel so bad for her. One of my colleagues suggested we put together a "Divorce Break-Up" gift basket (of course we wouldn't call it that) to cheer her up. We were thinking about putting bath salts, a bottle of wine, a manicure/pedicure gift certificate, slippers, chocolate, etc. in it. What other items should we include? Any suggestions would be truly appreciated! Thank you. :)

My boss is going to give us baskets filled with candy and crap for Christmas for the longest time. He feels it is a very thoughtful and nice gift. I have worked for him for 5 months. My colleagues have been getting this gift for the longest time and they always just take the baskets, thank him and throw them out. I do not want to take the basket and deceive him into thinking I appreciate it. My colleagues say that he would be very offended if I refused the gift and that he would covertly avenge it during my review. What should I do? Thanks for the suggestions to donate it. I would never give anyone I care about such a useless gift .Though I do not believe in using charities to dump bad stuff, I could donate it to a pantry or something.

when thawed? And by oreo suckers, I mean oreos on a stick dipped in chocolate. I'm making gift baskets. I want the food to be fresh, but there's no way I can make all of that in one day, 2 days before Christmas. (I burn things when I've got too much on my plate!). So I'll get most of the gift baskets out on Christmas day, and the rest on the 30th. Can I do this?

I'm in the process of developing a site that offers advice and resources for young mothers/mothers-to-be. I have an idea about selling baby items (clothes, books, bottles, etc.) and/or baby gift baskets on the site. Do I need to get a business license if I will only be doing occasional selling? And if I sell name brand baby items, is there any chance I could be held liable for legal issues if I don't follow certain steps? Anybody have experience with owning a small online business? I would really appreciate some advice and insight before I delve into the world of ecommerce? Thanks in advance to all serious answers.

I was planning on getting his parents a gift card to a restaurant but I'm not sure what to get his sisters. One is 15 a sophomore in high school and the other is a freshman in college 18 or 19 I think. I was thinking of getting them gift cards or maybe gift baskets from Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop, Victoria's Secret, or Sephora. I don't know too much of his dads or older sisters interests but his mom likes watching true crime stories, reading, and lifetime. His younger sister likes watching movies, I guess romantic comedies and just got on the cheering team. So would it be better to give gift cards or actual gifts? I just don't want to go overboard on gifts or get them things they won't like or use. Thanks!

I know that Easter is still weeks away, but I want to get a head start on getting some stuff together for an Easter Basket this year. My daughter is 15 months now (she will be 17 months by Easter), and I am wondering what I should stuff her Easter Basket with this year. I like to make my own, that ways its more personal and age appropriate. Also, its kind of a tradition to get a somewhat bigger gift for Easter as well in our family, like a ride on toy or something to go along with the basket, but i'm really at a loss as of what to get her this year seeing as she has everything. Her Birthday was in Nov and then with Christmas being right after, it seems she has everything. I really don't want to buy another ride on or battery powered toy...she has so many, but i'm open to all options. Please give me some ideas. I just like to stay on top of this stuff, that way I don't have to rush around the week of trying to decide what to get. Thanks in advance.

My fiance is a trucker. He usually has to stay out a few nights a week. Usually two nights home, two gone. I want to put together a Christmas goody basket for him. I know I'm getting him a new trucker atlas, but otherwise I'm stumped. Which one is best? I'm hoping for one around 20-25 dollars. (A link on that would be great.) I'm looking for ideas like snacks that stay fresh for a while, magazines, etc. I would like to get him a tv but thats out of the budget right now. Since he doesn't have one, he needs something to do to pass the time when he's in the sleeper. What about when he has to go to a truck stop to shower? What would be nice to have then? And please don't write rude or vulgar things. You will be reported.

I would love to help "save the planet" and all that hoopla - that's great too - but I'm really just broke and cheap. I was wondering, will the recycling people take ALL of my plastics, cardboard, glass, tin/metal, and (dry) paper if I separate it for them? And how do I separate it since they only provide me one container. I usually put all my newspaper/magazines/paper inside a paper bag and put that in the recycling bin and leave the big items separate. If I separate the different materials will I have a better chance of them taking it all or will I have to bring it directly to my towns recycling center? Just to be clear... I'm talking about EVERYTHING, from dry paper plates, to the packaging from foods, to those little teeny jelly jars you get in stupid gift baskets at Christmas. Will they take it all? Oh, and where would q-tips go? Also, what happens when your town decides they are going to do that type of recycling where you don't separate anything; you are just supposed to put it all in one container they provide to you and sit it out on the curb. Do they allow you to put everything in there or are there restrictions on the types of items? Thanks so much in advance!

My boyfriend has known a man his entire life named Will. Will owns a furniture store, and gave us a killer deal on a new bed. I mean... he hooked us up good. He was very generous, and helped us out a lot. He is an older man, and I'd like to send him a thank you gift for his generosity. What would be appropriate? No wine, nothing like that. We still go to church with him, and so does my boyfriends parents. A fruit basket maybe? No flowers, like I said.. he's an older man. Thanks!:)

I have 3 step-brothers and 2 brothers-in-law that I'm not real close to but do exchange gifts with at Christmas. I'm running out of ideas for gifts - Wal-Mart gift cards get old & boring after awhile. Last year, I did gift baskets w/beer & peanuts & personalized beer mugs - they were really cool but now I'm feeling the need to out-do last year! :) The guys are all in their early to late 20's - 3 are single & 2 are married....Thanks in advance!

We've been together for 8 months. He loves football (his absolute favorite), basketball and golf. He enjoys sport video games as well and I have already bought him a video game for Christmas. I always buy him football things (his bday and extras for Christmas gifts), like his favorite team memorabilia and beer mugs/shot glasses and all that, so I'm not sure if I want to do something like that again. I was thinking basketball game tickets but they're kind of expensive. So if that fails, I was also thinking a movie basket and get some movie things but I don't know if that's corny or stupid; he is 22. And I don't want to make anything. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

For instance, is it illegal for a person to take store-bought Panteen shampoo, Suave lotion, & Aquanet hairspray, and put them all in smaller UNBRANDED bottles, then put everything in a basket and then sell them as a product labeled "Fresh Shower Gift Set" ? This is a hypothetical question, of course! Thanks :)

My child's father currently pays 0 month child support. I have another child that I get 0 per month for. I do not have a job..I live with my parents but I depend on the support and food stamps to make it. Anyway, I hastily took out the support on my son's dad. He is a great father who says he feels bad that I got the courts involved and that our child is suffering for it. He has drawn out papers asking me to drop the support and stating that he will provide the following: 41 outfits per year, (GYMBOREE) 4 pairs of pajamas, 6 pairs of shoes, monthly toys & games, pictures twice per year, karate classes once per week, any other recreational costs, all christmas gifts, birthday gifts, easter basket, back to school items, personal care items, socks, underwear, etc. What would you do? Would you continue the support or allow him to pay for everything which he is basically already doing--but this would mean that our child gets alot more..Name brand clothes, afterschool activities.. Any suggestions about other things I should request? Should I allow him to claim the child alternate years? Thanks :) By the way, I should have added that the support that he is paying isnt really being spent on my son. I let him pick a few things every now and then but he gets clothes once per year and a few back to school. Then I spend one payment on Christmas and birthday. I spend the rest on my clothes, nails, going on trips, etc. I do not have any bills or have to provide food or insurance. I feel like a horrible parent but its the best I can do right now.

It is about a guy protecting a girl who is wanted by many people because of an ability she has (you will find out if you watch it). I usually don’t watch shonens because they’re usually not romantic, but this one was. There are 26 episodes. **Ultra Maniac** This is about a girl who uses magic and her good friend. It is about the girl trying to win this competition to be the wife of this magic prince. The girl is really in love with this boy from her school. It is also about her best friend being in love with this other guy. There are 26 episodes. **Maburaho** This anime is a harem which means it is about a guy who lots of girls like. It is funny, but not very romantic. I watched the anime expecting something very romantic to happen to just one girl and only one of the girls, but nothing did. There are 24 episodes. ***Tokyo Mew Mew*** This series is about a girl who has her DNA infused with a cat. This anime is about her love, her friends, and how she has to protect Earth. There are 52 episodes. ***Zero no Tsukaima*** This anime is set in a world where nobles can use magic and commoners can’t. The main girl, Louise, summons a human boy to be her familiar (helper/pet). The story is about events that happen to Louise and the boy (like how to get him home and how they fall in love). There are 13 episodes (second season 12 episodes). ***Onegai Twins*** This anime is about two girls and a guy. The two girls want to know who their parents are and the only clue they have is a picture of this house that the boy owns. This story is about the events they go through to find out who they are and how they fall in love. There are 12 episodes. ***Romeo+Juliet*** This is a story of romeo+juliet falling in love but things are different in this story. Romeo's father owes the floating city they live in and Juliet is the last Capulet. There are 24 episodes ***La Corda D’oro*** This anime is about a girl who gets a magic violin. There are about five guys who like her and the anime is all about her (and the guys) playing their instruments at this contest. I was a little disappointed because no one ever really confessed their love and nothing actually romantic happened (like kissing). There are 26 episodes. ***Kamisama Kazoku*** This anime is about god’s son named Samatarou. There is a girl who is an angel that is always with him and she loves him but he likes a new popular girl at school. Samatarou’s mother is Venus and his sisters are both goddess candidates. There are 13 episodes. ***Mermaid Melody*** This is about a girl who is a mermaid and her trying to tell the guy she is in love with that she is one. If she goes out and says she is one, then she will turn into bubbles. It is also about her and her friends fighting other creatures. There are 52 episodes. ***Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne*** This one is about a high school girl who is a thief that steals art usually because it is made/possessed by a spirit of the devil aka demon. It is about how she meets another thief and falls in love with him.

disregard that Dear Diary, February 15th, 1940 “NEXT?!” said that horrible voice. A voice I will never forget. An old, strong man grabbed me by the arm and took my picture, then my sisters, then my mothers, then my fathers. “NEXT?!” He pushed me aside, as if I were less than a dog. Then, he gave me four stars. He gave us each four stars. I just think of the stars as a sign that we are Jewish… and we are proud. I am not ashamed… Mom says it’s okay, that nothing bad could happen… I think I believe her. But with that brute, Hitler, in charge… well, who knows? God knows. But who on EARTH knows (besides Hitler). What a horrible experience. Anna, my Christian friend, says nothing bad is happening to her… why just the Jews? I know it’s not just us, I mean, but… it seems that way. I can’t believe it. We are banned from our old friends: Amelia, Fran, Lottie… however, sometimes we meet in the old tree house we built in the forest… I need to go back before eight though… that’s the Jewish peoples curfew. Mom just finished making supper. I have to go… Later today I am going to the tree house to visit my friends. Even Anna is joining us. I just hope the Nazis don’t catch us. I hate putting my friends in danger, but they say I am too important and too fun to not hang out with. I love them so much. They are the best friends I could ever ask for… Sincerely, Emily 1 Dear Diary, February 18, 1940 How sweet my friends are! They all chipped in to get me the cool new bike with the musical bells and the basket in the front. And there is even a compartment for a journal or diary. They told me my birthday was so important and I needed a little fun in my life because I seemed very sad lately. How could I not with this dreadful war going on, though? I suppose I can’t get mad, however, I AM a little said lately… and I REALLY can’t get mad if they got me a new bike. My father got me a bouquet and a new party dress… however I am not sure where I could wear it… I mean, I suppose I could wear it to the grocery store or something, so I can look nice… however, I might get it dirty. Lottie’s birthday is coming up soon. We are all meeting at the tree house. I am bringing a radio for music (because I can carry it now with my new basket – bike) and my gift… I didn’t buy it yet, though. I am planning on getting a new book for her and a new quilt that I am knitting myself. Everybody else is bringing snacks, presents, games, the usual. I suppose I can wear my party dress there. My mother got me a new pair of shoes. They look great with my party dress. Sometimes I imagine I am a beautiful princess in a big palace dancing with the prince. My hair is done nicely and I am wearing a beautiful dress of satin and sparkles. One day I will be a princess… well, when the war is over. I fantasize a lot lately. Fantasize of the world after the war, fantasize of a gorgeous cottage in the woods just waiting for me, fantasize of freedom… Actually, I had quite a close call today. A Nazi stopped me. “Weren’t you riding a different bike before?” I lied ‘no’. “Where were you, anyway?” I lied ‘the store’. “For two hours?” I lied ‘I spend lots of time picking out what kind of bread I want…’ He let me go. My heart was racing and my palms were sweaty… but I got away… and I wasn’t harmed.

We've been dating for almost 4 months now. He loves metal music and loves to cuddle. I'm pretty sure he's making me a blanket, or something along those lines, but I have no idea what to get him. I thought about maybe putting a whole bunch of things he loves (favorite candy, something of his favorite color, favorite band t-shirt) together in gift basket type thing. To me it sounds a bit corney though. It doesn't seem to compare to his gift. I really want to get him something home-made and from the heart, but I have no idea what to get. Please help... click on that thats a picture of him sexy ain't he http://bilder.vgb.no/7416/img_44d7532cebb62.jpg

There seems to be an occasion for EVERYTHING! My daughter is 2 and happy to just be near me. My sister spoils her kids and gives them gift for every occasion even if it's her last dollar. I'm a little more budget minded than her. For Valentines Day I plan to make cupcakes for my small family of 3 and go to a nice dinner. I've already told my husband of 7 years that he doesn't need to buy me flowers which has been the norm for several years now. It saves money.. plus I can never keep them alive more than a few days. There won't be any gift exchanging between us.. we usually save the gifts for mother's day, father's day, birthdays, and christmas. So what I'm trying to get at is after Valentines is Easter which is another holiday of spending money on toys, baskets, candies, dresses and eggs. Is it really necessary for Valentines Day? Will I be the only "uncool" mom who won't give her poor kid a gift.

give a nice fruit basket as a Valentine's Day gift? He told me in passing one day that he has 5 watches laying around the house that need batteries, I think that wallets are too overdone, and I was going to bake him some chocolate cupcakes from scratch with a maraschino cherry icing recipe I have, but looking at my schedule I doubt I'll have time this week to bake anything and he's trying to watch what he eats anyways. So, honestly, what do you think, dumb or not? Thanks and Happy Valentine's Day!

...Hawaii? I'm in New Zealand. I've found places that will deliver fruit gift baskets, but am hoping for an online grocery store, or personal shopper service to stretch the money a bit further. Thanks so much. :-)

This year, I'm making 'Cookies and Crafts' gift baskets for all of the adults on my list. I want to include a couple of crafts in each basket that my son can make. So far, I like the 'Salt Dough Ornaments' idea(http://crafts.kaboose.com/saltdoughgifttoppers.html). I'm looking for some creative ideas here (because I've come up with none!). I'd really like to get rid of this sand (I think I've had it for almost 10 years!!). And I'm really looking for small crafts or ornaments so they'll fit in the basket. Thanks! I meant to say 'inexpensive', as well.

i want to get my boyfriend of one year something good for Christmas and i have an idea or two, but then again i'm horrible at picking out gifts for guys. he's 15 (i'm 14) and we've been going out for a year as of 11-10. he likes -military stuff (he wants to join the AF) -harley davidson -Dennis Leary -guns -video games (xbox360... he's such a dork) -war -golf -guinness junk (he's irish *rolls eyes*) -rock music -The Lonely Island -dogs -politics/conservative stuff i'm trying to put down anything and everything, but i'll stop there. i was thinking about getting him Dennis Leary's book "Why We Suck" for his birthday (a few weeks before Christmas) and an Iraqi coin from productsforgood.com for Christmas... but i'm not sure. last year i baked him a huge basket of everything imaginable, so i wasn't planning on cooking him anything. if anyone has any ideas about what to get him (that's reasonably priced), what they have gotten from their gfs, or what you've bought your bf, please let me know! nothing slutty or sexual please :) thanks!!!!

I finished Christmas shopping today for my kids and thought I did pretty good. Since they love hunting around the house looking for their gifts, my mother-in-law keeps them at her house. I just brought the things I bought this morning over, and she told me "Wow, this is all you're getting them? Why did you take-in the extra 3 kids if you would have to sacrifice things for your real children?" I thought I did good considering we have 8 children this year instead of 5. So the question: Is she right? Or is she just trying to make me feel bad? 13 year old: silver Tiffany bracelet black Uggs Coach purse Wii Fit picture frames for room 10 year old: digital camera brown Uggs new bike DDR Hottest Party 2 (for Wii) scrapbooking kit 7 yscrap-booking for room (the only reason she's getting it is because my husband has a bunch of points from work and used it to get a new tv FREE) Disney's Hannah Montana DVD Game Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House Hannah Montana Wii Game Wild Planet Hyper Dash Game 6 year old: American Girl Doll karoke machine Wild Plkaraokeyper Jump Game Apples to Apples Kids Learning Journey Desktop PC 5 year old: Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep LeapFrog Leapster Learning System LeapFrog Leapster Game: Dora the Explorer -Wildlife Rescue Moon Sand Treasure Kingdom Totally Me! Ultimate Jewelry Workshop 3 year old: Disney Princess 12" Girl's Bicycle FisherPrice Kid Tough Digital Camera Fish Price Kid Tough DVD Player (got it 40% off this morning!) Cranium Hullabaloo Noddleboro Picnic Basket Manners Game 3 year old: Girl's Grow N' Go Bicycle FisherPrice Kid Tough Digital Camera FP3 Player Twister Hopscotch The Cat in the Hat I Can Do That! 16 month old: Eco-Friendly Rocking Caterpillar Ride-On Plush Rocker Vtech V.Smile Baby Infant Development System Vtech Roll and Learn Driver FisherPrice Roll-a-Rounds Listen-Up-Rounds Animal Friends Stacking Rings (made by TAGGIES) I tried my best. Each child on average gets about 0 worth of toys. Yes, it would have been more if we didn't take 3 extra children in, but should how much we get on Christmas make a difference bettween leaving them in foster homes or letting them live with us? Oh and another one was that she is only buying for her "real" grandchildren, meaning she's not getting gifts for the 3 childre I recently adopted. So now I'm going to have to buy them something and bring it over there to pretend it's from her. Yes, we have to keep everything fair. I tried to sick to 5 items that totaled up to about 0. We actually adopted them when their mother (my friend) passed away from cancer.

Hey there people. I made a list of things I personally dislike getting for Valentine's day. I felt clueless guys could use a little hint. Feel free to add to it. What not to get a grown woman for Valentine's day: 1. Those cheap heart shaped chocolate boxes they sell at places like Rite Aid, CVS, or your local supermarket. The chocolates are gross, have too much sugar anyway (acne and weight gain), and make me fat (I'm on a diet. Aren't we always). 2. Lingerie, especially if you don't know my size or if I'm not 100% happy with my body as are most women in America (stretch marks, flab, cellulite). 3. Cheap gift baskets with cheap Chinese made soaps, lotions, body sprays, bath salts, bubble bath, etc. That nasty stuff just makes my skin itch and makes me smell bad. If you're going to get me something to put on my body, make sure it comes from a nice, local business that makes organic products or products that actually will make my skin glow for a change. Something that women's magazines tell me is good for my body or something I can instantly tell is classy. 4. Cheap perfume. Do you see a pattern with the cheap stuff here? I don't want to smell like an old lady that picked up something at a 99 cents store to cover up her body odor. 5. Dinner at a really crowded restaurant when you haven't even made the reservation. Even if you did, I'm not waiting in line for half an hour or longer to get a seat at a place so busy it'll take forever to get the menu to begin ordering the food. And you know Valentine's evening at that one place you've been wanting to take me to will be crowded with hungry couples. 6. A store bought card with a personal note only a sentence or two long written by you and signed at the last minute. I'd rather you wrote me a song or a heart felt letter, and if you can't sing or can't write, at least try to compose a simple rhyming poem. Most kids in elementary school can do at least that. 7. Red roses. Many women may disagree here, but I think wildflowers from your backyard or a bouquet of locally grown, brightly colored flowers will do laborers and the environment more good. Plus, it's unique. However, now that I think about it, there's nothing really wrong with long stemmed red roses. They really are gorgeous. 8. Sex if I'm on my period and have really bad cramps or if for any reason, I'm not up to it. And there are many reasons why women would deny sex to their partners. 9. The latest electronic gadget that you've been wanting to have for yourself. I know you'll borrow it from me anyhow. 10. I really wanted to make a complete list of 10, but can't think of any thing else. Feel free to add to the list of things you don't want for Valentine's day or make a list of things you really do want. To add to the cheap things list. Jewlery. If it's something tacky, I'm not going to wear it. It will irritate my skin or break easily. Stuffed animals. What am I, a five year old? I don't need any teddy bears with the words I Love you on it. Give me something I can use or something you know I'll really like and keep for a long time.

I was at this baby store and this lady in a nice business suit was shopping for someones baby shower in the same aisle as I.. She asked what would be a nice gift for someone ahe didnt really know that well and i pointed to this cute Johnson&Johnson's Gift basket that was filled with J&J bathwash, lotion, baby oil, baby powder and etc. She gave me this horrified look and said she worked for Johnson&Johnson and that there isn o way she would ever buy their products. Ans i laughed and asked why and i think she said somethin like if only u knew what is used or how its made or something like that. I asked her to tell me and she was adamant on refusing to tell me. She just kept shaking her head and sayin "I can't." Has anyone heard or read anything about Johnson&Johnson products???? Im dying to know!

And this is for a couple that has pretty much everything! Was thinking maybe a nice high-ish end cheese basket? Does that border on tacky? Any ideas greatly welcomed..... Cochi - good idea, because I know that she likes her red wine, but - 1) I don't think he drinks wine, and 2) it's such a personal taste thing for someone that really enjoys her wine, I think...

I'm a female (20 years old) who has been working for this lady (48 years old) for 2 years now. The first xmas at my work she bought me a few little things from Bath and Body Works. The next year she gave me a Bath and Body Works gift card! I'm a poor college student and I don't know if she expects me to match up to her spending this year. I don't know what to get her... AND I'm stressed because her birthday is a few weeks before Christmas!! And we usually exchange gifts for birthdays and xmas!!!!! Well here are things she likes is: Bath and Body Works (I don't know what scents she really likes...), Longaberger baskets, chocolate, Vera Bradley, flowers, anything Disney! She's sort of High maintenance so this makes me nervous..... She's picky and everything. Any ideas??

we've been together for about 5 months now. his birthday is on the 15th of february, the day after valentine's day..i don't really wanna buy anything for him because i know he like's homemade :] don't tell me to buy him items from his favorite sports team or music bands.. we're both asian, he's korean and i'm chinese and it would be kinda weird if i got him korean band cd's haha besides, he's not obsessed with music. neither with sports. but he's not your typical nerd to so don't go all stereotypical on us i need ideas~~ creative too! so far, i've written a list of words that describe him from A~Z. i know we're going to see a movie for his birthday and ill kiss him and say i love you~ :] but i need more ideas, i want this to be special~ i heard about this idea where you fill up a basket full of coupons[?] that's like [redeem for one hug] or [free kiss]? lets get cheesy here, i like corny and cheesy ideas :] and i already baked him triple chocolate chip cookies for his christmas present lol

It's a long long story about everything but basically I hate my husbands parents and I have decided to no longer have a relationship with them.. My son's birthday is next month and I am unsure what to do.. My husbands step mother is a very very rude person and my mom is a fighter.. I would invite them (even though I don't want to be around them) But I know my mom will end up fighting with her.. she never has but its been building.. I wouldn't be worried about it if I knew she wasn't going to make a rude remark about something because she always does.. I don't want them there and neither does anyone else.. On top of that I know that she is going to rip him off on his gifts and that will just make me so mad! I know because she already does.. ALWAYS!! Just one example is for easter she got my son a rubber duck and bought her granddaughters so much stuff she couldn't fit it in their basket and was bragging about it.. how she couldn't fit it all in their baskets thats just one example and last yr she showed me a toy she got him at a yard sale and said that it was for his first birthday.. and I'm sure she isn't getting him anything else because thats how she is not that everything is about material things but she makes it a point to treat my son different then everyone else as well as my husband.. (his dad makes 100 grand a yr) and when my husband tells his dad these things he doesn't believe him.. Should I just not invite them.. I certainly don't want them their and I know whats going to happen :( as sad as it makes me.. Here is another question I posted about them before explaining some of it but its long http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Alxpt81VwzyNzBT6yNogsn7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090621232317AAUrYU8 WHAT TO DO?

I'm getting married next summer at the Sandals in St. Lucia, and we want to put baskets (or boxes or whatever) with some useful gifts for our guests in them. So far we're giving them monogrammed towels (their initials-not ours!) and small things like sunscreen, Tylenol, travel toothpaste, etc. I've heard of some people giving their guests those large hot/cold travel mugs with a short message (like Thanks for coming) and the couple's names and the wedding date on them and guests seemed to love them since it's an all-inclusive and they can take those to the bar-tenders and have them filled with whatever they'd like and then take it down to the beach or where ever. The problem is, I've heard lots of people say they could find these for around 4 or 5 bucks each and so far I haven't been able to find them for less than like 15. I've found them for cheaper if you order like 100, but we're only needing 30 or so. Anyone know of an on-line place where you can order these large personalized mugs? Or even a place where you can buy your own and then take them and have our message and such put on there?

This whole bit with the Easter Bunny leaving gift baskets... when did they turn Easter into a mini-Christmas?
Views: | 6 Comments »
Yes, I know, all of you see one of these all the time during the "Love" month, but I'm very undecided on what to get him. I don't want to just get him clothes or something, but I want it to be special. I remember him and I talking about how we wanted a photo album with our pictures in it, so that will be one of my ideas. Another idea I had was to get a heart shaped basket and fill it with his favorite candies. What else can I do? I like to be creative, but yet have something that can be useful. I hate buying things that will lye around the house and collect dust. In addition, this will be a gift for a 16-year-old guy. I don't want any stupid, short answers. I'm in need of help. Thanks.

I need to make a database that will be used for a hamper company. (It's a type of gift basket, basically.) There are standard, pre-made hampers, and there are "bespoke" hampers, which are custom-made. In the "Items" table, I need to have both standard hampers and individual items for the bespoke hampers. It sounded weird, but I did it. But. There is a problem. There is a form for the orders, and when I input the order, I need to choose what the customer bought. How can I make it so that: ~ For one customer, I can enter more than one order (e.g buying three hampers at once, but different hampers and with different addresses.) ~ For the bespoke hampers, I can enter the items that are wanted, ~ And therefore, the cost calculated from those fields (e.g multiplying number of hampers with the cost of hampers, and the cost of the bespoke hampers being the sum of the multiplication of the number of items and the cost of each etc..) Please, I can't beg you enough. I tried so hard to do this, but I can't find a way. Thanks in advance, I really need your help. (: I think that suggestion is pretty good, but the problem is that this is for my GCSE project, and the guidelines specifically say that the standard hampers need to be in the "stock" table with the individual items. that is why I'm confused, and cannot find a way to do this.

One of the ladies at work came in with a basket full of whisks for every one and it said " We Wisk You a Merry Christmas" with some hershey kisses inside of the whisk. That is the kind of thing i am looking for. A catchy creative idea and well...im not creative. :) Thanks for your help.

They're very well off and have everything they need and want, and they don't like anything that's not practical. They get dozens of goodie baskets from business associates, and personalized trinkets just aren't their thing. They don't shop or go out to eat (or go out at all), and neither use the internet, so gift cards are no good. They don't watch movies or listen to music. They're just impossible! They just bought a new vacation home in AZ, so I was thinking something for that may-be? They have all the basics already, though. Mom likes gardening, but she can't anymore (she's got MS), and she has no other interests... Dad likes fishing and golf, but he likes to buy all of his own stuff. He's also a history guy but he doesn't need any more books -- he already knows it all. I am so screwed. Please help. ANY suggestions are welcome.

First off I must say they are not my fave people in the world. Last year I got my mom-in-law a gift card that she asked for herself. I don't want to get a gift card for her again this year. And I got my sis-in-law a pretty candle set. What can I get them this year? I was thinking a basket full of beauty stuff like bubble bath, lotions, candles, bath salts. Is that gift over used?

My husband and I like sending nice gifts to his 5 yr old daughter who lives out of state. His daughters mother doesn't really have any money, lives in a trailer, and while she does the best that she can, she certainly does not have the means to spoil her daughter. Do you think it is rude or inconsiderate for us to send his daughter nice gifts now and then? For example I just went shopping for her Easter Basket (which I am making myself). I bought clothes, movies, books and toys and when all was said and done, had spent 0 on it. I am sure it will be much nicer than whatever her mother gets her but we enjoy spoiling her. Is what we are doing wrong?

I'm making gift baskets for Christmas this year, and want to put homemade hard candy in it (by request from last year). However, my boyfriend's dad is diabetic, so I'm trying to find a sugar-free recipe. I'd rather use Splenda than anything else as it tastes so much better. He's diabetic, not taste disabled! I read on someone's post from another website that Splenda tends to clump. Anyone actually made hard candy from Splenda?

I've had to have a lot of work done on my teeth because I didn't go to the dentist for 10 years. I was so scared to go plus I didn't have insurance. So I finally went and got EVERY single thing fixed with my mouth. It took 5 visits to finally finish everything and Thursday is my last session. I wanted to give the office some sort of fruit basket or gift basket to show them that I appreciate them for taking such great care of me and being outstanding. Do you think that is weird to give them something like that?

I have a VERY romantic boyfriend who goes above and beyond every chance he gets. I'd like to something nice for him in return so he feels special/loved. His business he started was featured in a Journal -- I bought a copy of the article to be matted and framed for him. I've also just started to scrapbook. I've decided to make my first page about "us" with pictures, memories, and reasons why I love him. I bought a Valentine's basket and was going to fill it with a few candies, lingerie, and maybe some massage oil. (Forgive me for TMI- but it's my time of the month that weekend -- so the "sexy" gifts may not come into play.) But I thought I could massage/pamper him for a night. Do you think this is thoughtful/romantic enough? Any other ideas or ways to present it? He's not a typical "guys" guy. More on the thoughtful, sensitive side.

And don't say confront her, b/c that never works. I think she simply doesn't like me.

Right now my son is sleeping in his Moses basket, but I'm trying to figure out this problem with the sheets for his crib before I put him in the crib. I bought a package safari deal for my son's crib that included a fitted sheet, blanket and bumper pads. I had to literally bend the mattress in order to get the sheet on and the mattress pad doesn't fit with that sheet. A different sheet (that I received as a shower gift) fits on the mattress and with that sheet I am also able to put the mattress pad on it. My question is this...should the crib mattress have to be bent in order to put the sheet on it or is a fitted sheet that is snug (without bending mattress to put it on) appropriate? Maybe I just got a really small sheet with my set. Thanks for answers. Both sheets stated they were "standard" on the packages. Oh, hey, I just went to the store website where I ordered the set and found that countless other people found the fitted sheet shrunk horribly after one wash, like me. So, I guess this answers my question. Thanks!

Anyways, you know everyone has bought the baby stuff, but I think it's important that she get a little feel better gift anyways, so I had the idea of getting a little basket put together, but I have no clue what to put in it... You new mothers, and mothers in general, could you give me advice of what you want in there? Thanks so much!! Okay! Thanks so much EVERYONE! I loved all your answers! I made her basket, filled it with clean scents of lotion and bath wash, and some candles, and fuzzy socks, a night bathrobe, and some new pj's. I also made a little basket for the new baby with washclothes, soothing bath soap, lotion, powder, layette set, bathing robe, bodysuits, and DIAPERS since that was majority vote! Thanks so much guys!

My black neighbor came by and gave me a Christmas gift. It was a basket full of Christmas sweets! I thought I would show him how tolerant I was of different cultures, so the next day I went by his place and gave him a gift. When he answered his door, I said Happy Kwanzaa! and gave him a watermelon. He didn't seem very happy. Is watermelon an appropriate Kwanzaa gift. I want to be tolerant of diverse cultures?

I want to do gift baskets for Christmas, because we're just starting out and really low on funds. For my in laws we're going to do a basket including 2 movies ( each Wal Mart), popcorn kernels, oils, season shakers, fuzzy slippers for him and her, 2 mugs w/ cocoa packets stuck in them, a warm throw, and some homemade cookies. Same for my mom! For my brother we're all pitching in and getting him a wii and guitar hero (do they make that for wii?) For my husband.... I'm thinking a waterproof watch? What kind of watches can you take w/ you to Iraq? And some massage gadgets from Wal Mart he's had his eyes on! Do you have any other unique gift basket themes I can use?? Thanks!

My two younger brothers (10 and 14) are in my September wedding. My fiance and I don't want to give them some silly trinket that they won't use, and arn't at the age for. I know that they really want an XBOX 360 though, would that be appropriate? For my flower girl, I wanted to get her jewelry, (pearl earings and pearl bracelet) but also wanted to put together a girly lil basket thing with toys that she would like, is that ok? For my maid of honour and bridesmaids, I'm stuck. I wanted to get their jewelry, but I would also like to get them something else. I've already given them engraved things with their names for birthdays etc, so that's not gonna work. Also, my aunt is making my flower girl dress, it's absolutely gorgeous btw, :P ... I'd like to get her something special, jewelry is out of the question though, she's got tons, more expensive than I could ever buy her anyways. Just something sweet, something to say thank you. Any ideas would be terrific. Thanks!! :)

I need advice, I'm planning my Christmas gift for my boyfriend, but I need some guidance. He's really big on cycling (both road and mountain) so I figured I'd create a cycling gift basket (kinda). I wanna get him a tour bag http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?SKU=22222&subcategory_ID=2311 and fill it with little things that he'll need during his rides. Maybe things he wouldn't really get himself but would be handy or things he runs out of frequently. Is the bag a good idea? and what kind of things would you suggest to fill it with?

I am turning 16 next month, in about 35 days from now I guess, and I wanted a motorcycle but my parents arent having that... -.- So I guess its a car. But this thing is, my parent like to surprise me. I never really liked that, but I show them that I appreciate the gift (if get one that year) Example: I wanted an XBOX 360 last year christmas, and I got an old XBOX with bitten up controllers and no games, I had to buy them my self. I just smiled and accepted it. But for my 16th birthday, I dont want to ask for a car and get something I wont enjoy. Basicly, my question is what should I ask my parents for knowing they are cheap and like to use loop holes. BTW: I have a friend that was born on the same exact day as me, im just 3 hours older, hes getting a Brand new Mustang. I wouldn't feel as happy with a BRAND NEW LAUNDRY BASKET! I do have a little job. I mow my mother freinds lawn for a cut, and im expecting a call from another freind, that needs a lawn to be cut. But I would like a car but, I dont want a used car in poor condition. with extreeme. I really really wanted a car with an alsome audio system w/ AUX, and blutooth but I dont want to seem to needy/greedy/spoiled. Heres a few stories of past gifts. I wanted an HP laptop with a full keyboard, but I got a DELL Insiron 1525, I still love it. I wanted an iPod touch 2nd gen. I got a iPod classic. (I never really liked iPods, I just wanted the Touch, so I traded the classic 80gb for a ipod touch 8gb mint conditon. Im extreemly happy with the trade...

ok...so I am a single mom of 3 kids and I have been dating this guy for about 6 months.....Around the beginning of november he said he knew what he was getting me for christmas and I told him not to get me anything because the only presents I buy for christmas is for my kids. He says he knows my situation and that he is still going to get me and my girls a gift....which I do not think is fair.... sooo....I was thinking that if I made some cookies and muffins and put them in a basket...would you like it??? or do you have a better idea...keep in mind I have financial problems. btw....I am a good cook.

I don't drink so I have no idea. I'm doing up gift baskets for my sons-in-laws for Christmas. They are relaxation g/b's and I want to include a few bottles of beer in each of them. What is a really good beer that you would put into a gift basket? Thanks. I DON'T KNOW WHO HAS THE BEST ANSWER SO I'M GOING TO PUT THIS QUESTION INTO VOTING AND LET THE COMMUNITY CHOOSE AND WHATEVER BEST ANSWER THEY CHOOSE IS WHAT I WILL GET FOR MY GIFT BASKETS. THANKS EVERYONE.

I know realtors usually get a gift for their client at closing. I'm not sure if it is customary for the client to buy something as well, but I would like to even if it's not common practice. What would you recommend? And what price point is appropriate? I was thinking of a nice basket with girly goods like candles, cookies, and lotions, but don't want to come off as cheap..? Can you advise me on an appropriate gift or price of gift? What did you get or have you seen people get for their agent? Also...this is a buyer's agent so she has really been walking us through tons of houses and giving great advice - I know she is making money from the sale, but I appreciate her a lot! Wow poyzin - she is a great lady and is in it for more than the money. She has been extremely helpful and has become a friend of mine through this experience.

They treat his daughter from his previous marriage much better than our daughter. They do this from the way they talk to her to the gifts that they give. For easter they gave his daughter a big easter basket filled with stuffed animals, candy and money. They gave our daughter a shirt that his Mom bought at an after Christmas sale that she said our daughter could wear next year. I am afraid that this will really hurt my daughters feelings as she gets older. Should I say something? What should I do?

I have a good sized porch in a condo that I recently bought. I love flowers and have several potted plants out here..I plan on getting several more... One of the pots contains a variety of bright yellow flowers, pink flowers....I dont know what kind of flowers they are, my mom and little sister made the basket for me as a mothers day gift (even though I'm not a mommy yet - it was so nice of them)...I also have another pot with beautiful purple flowers in it (again, dont know what they're called - aunt gave them to me as a birthday gift)... Theres a tun of bees flying around my porch. I dont really mind it too much, they're not being a bother to me.... but I'm wondering why they're buzzing around the gutters (hopefully not to make a nest)....and I never see them on any of the flowers. Dont the bees help the flowers grow better?

okay, so for him I am shelling out for a volcom jacket he's been eyeing But I also want to get something for his mom and his sister, who's a senior in high school His mom is a widow, and has a really stressful job, but she always makes time for my bf and his sis, and she loves to shop. So, i was thinking of giving her to the mall, and maybe putting together a "pamper me" basket, with godiva chocolates and a candle and slippers and smelly stuff. she made me an amazing blanket for my birthday and i totally wasn't expecting her to get me anything So I want to show her how important she and her family are to me I was thinking of getting a gift card for his sis too, since she adores shopping as well. But I want to get her something to go with it, just something little. Shes not really into designer brands, and she dislikes girl people. I'm kinda stuck and I don't know if these ideas are good ones and i dont want to ask my bf, bc i want him to be surprised by it. Ideas?

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories. He often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look fo r something special. I knew what he was up to.. I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands. He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since he had passed on. Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two. Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how he had loved his steak. Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her bas ket.. hesitated, and the n put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks. She saw me watching her and she smiled. 'My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know.' I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes. 'My husband passed away eight days ago,' I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. 'Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.' She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away. I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream.. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone. I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile! I had ever seen. I would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine. As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. 'These are for you,' she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. 'When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for.' She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision. I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears in my eyes. H e was still with me, a nd she was his angel. Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are. (Please read all of this, it is really nice) This is a simple request. If you appreciate life, send this to your friends, including the person that sent it to you. Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible. Thank you, Lord , that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden. Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely. Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazine s and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry. Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job. Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest... Thank you, Lord, for life. Pass this on to the friends you know. It might help a bit to make this world a better place to live, right? A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone to treasure. For friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with Beauty, Joy and Grace and makes the world we live in a better and happier place. YOU ARE MY FRIEND! God bless you and yours.

Will you do the same as you always do? Will you be traveling less? Will you do less presents in general? Or just decide against getting presents for acquaintances and coworkers? How will it affect you this year? We will not be traveling this year to see family, so we'll be staying in. (My husband and I) and I think instead of exchanging gifts we may put both our money toward preparing for our new (first) baby that will be here soon. I do plan on doing lots of baking and giving out little baskets of cookies to friends that live close.

Me and my 2 friends had children all within a year of each other. They are sisters, lets call them ashley and britney. At my baby shower, I invited them both sepretly. The husband of Ashely, gave her 0. The 2 sisters gave me 1 "combined" gift that was a pack a of dipers and some diaper covers. at the very most. For Ashley's baby shower, not only did I BUY her at least 0 worth of stuff, I bought her entire crib bedding, a matching twin set for her other childs bed to match, and gave her EASILY 0 worth of hand me downs and other swings etc. For Britney's baby shower, not only did I buy her 0 worth of stuff, I HAND MADE the bumpers, curtains, sheets, dust ruffle, basket liners, burp rags, and matching quilt! Not an easy task with a baby of my own at home. She was impatient and wanted to put her room together before the baby shower. She did not even mention the work that I had done at the baby shower let alone let me give it to her their. but what ever. So my child's first birthday comes around. I invite them both sepretly. NEITHER one bought my daughter ANYTHING! Not even a card. But they were there to eat pizza cake and ice cream. It has been 5 months since her party, so "maybe they'll get it later" is not going to happen. And they are both way better off money wise than I am. Now with both of their baby's first birthdays in the next 2 months I'm wondering....... Should I get them anything for their birthdays? Would that be rude or immature? I am seriously a little hurt by this, and don't know what to think of it. I know that it is not the childrens fault, and they should not be left out. I just feel like everyone else if I just get A present. I've always been the creative person, but a lot of times creative means money :) And I don't expect them to duplicate my size of gifts at all... but something would have been nice. My child doesn't deserve to be left out either. I was planning on a small gift, but I just wanted to know how others saw this situation. Thanks. I saw the receipt, they spent the other on stuff for their own unborn children. FYI

like if you were in a relationship w/ someone and you had a child w/ them, then you broke up (divorced). Would you send flowers or a gift basket to your ex if he/she had a baby? would you remain friends w/ your ex? would you give them life christmas gifts or send a card? any personal experiences? "like" not life -----sorry

I will be giving birth to the first grandson of my husbands family, they already have a granddaughter, but anyway, I just recently had my babyshower and my mother in law was bragging to everyone about how she dropped my second half of my gift off at my house because it was to big and bulky to bring to the rest. Well when I got home I saw this huge basket wrapped really pretty with a bow, when I opened it the basket was full of stained used clothes, I was so upset that she would give that as a gift that I just don't know what to say to her. I also tried to return some diapers that she bought and I find out that she didn't even buy the diapers she had gotten them for free after spending 50 dollars on my sister in laws baby that isn't due till May. I know to some I may seem ungrateful, but I wasn't brought up like this and to me this is like her saying that she doesn't care about her grandson and that the other baby that is coming in May will be more important. I accually did one better than that, the company I work for deals a lot with Relay for life and the american cancer society so we had a garage sale and I washed the clothes really well and donated them to that.

I’m hurt. Today was my 2nd mother’s day and I got a card from my 1year old and my step son, that’s it. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the cards… but I expected more or something from my husband. Last year I got these beautiful exotic potted flowers along with cards and dinner. SO here is how my day went - I got up early and went with my sister to pick up my Mom who lives an hour away. We took her out to lunch and then bought her some hanging flower baskets as we do every year. I rushed back home so that I could spend some of “my day” with my family. I thought I would come home to my family and would get a big “happy mothers day mommy” special time with them. I was looking forward to seeing what my husband had got me. I’m a total gift person, I know not everyone is BUT I am & my hubby knows it. It doesn’t have to be expensive, as a matter of fact the more thoughtful the better, not the more expensive.… I get home and my stepson isn’t home, my husband is laying on the sofa and wanted me to rub his feet… I played along thinking he was just messing with me, nope. He really just wanted me to rub his feet!! When I asked him to rub mine he wouldn’t!! I said “you know its Mother’s Day, RIGHT?” he just pointed out that I had not rubbed his feet in some time… SO he seen that I was upset he asked me what was wrong. I asked if I was getting anything and he said I got the cards. So then when he asked what was wrong I just said nothing, I didn’t want to cry over it. Should I have assumed that I would get a gift? Should I tell the hubby that it hurt me, I mean, I’m sure he could tell. As he left for work tonight I kissed him and said I love you and he said “then why are you acting like you hate me” … so he knows I wasn’t happy, should I just drop it? What would you do?

My in-laws are the freaking hardest people to buy for. They have literally everything they could ever want or possibly need. Last year, we gave them a gift certificate to dinner, and the year before that, it was a "night-in basket," with one of their fav movies, coffee mugs, etc. Any ideas? I'm already panicking. My sister-in-law and her husband ALWAYS get them the best gift every Christmas and I'm determined to not give her the chance to sneer at my gift to our in-laws while her gift is being gushed over by my mother-in-law. Any suggestions? And no, I'm not willing to buy them an island or a star in their name.

I'd like to hear from step daughters mostly as to how I can make things better. I'm willing to do whatever it takes but I'm at my whits end and stressed to the max. I'm sure my future step daughter is feeling an equal amount of stress based on her actions. Here are the facts. I'm 31, my FH is 44 and my FSD is 25. My husband and his Ex divorced about 13 years ago. He raised his daughter by himself and she doesn't have a good bond with her mother so her father says. FSD is married and has a 3 month old son. Her father and I got engaged about 3 months ago and it's been total drama ever since. She will not speak to me when I greet her or say bye. She complains about the food I cook for parties stating she doesn't eat Mayo, which is a lie. At her brothers wedding she told her father I couldn't sit with him because we weren't married. Although her grandfathers live-in GF was seated with him and honored with a corsage. She insisted her father gets a prenup (which I will gladly sign) but I'm not certain that's her business. Her father confronted her about her rudeness and not speaking. She told him she didn't even realize I was saying hey to her (he's seen it happen first hand). I FEEL like I've been more than nice to her and her family. I cancelled a vacation we had planned because I feared we would miss the birth of her son. I attended her baby showers (which were for family and I'm surprised I was invited as family but excluded from the wedding for not being family). I bought her son a babies first christmas ornament and included his picture from minutes after he was born and gave it to her the same day he was born. (yep that took a little juggling to do but I thought it was a nice gesture). I made her husband and her a movie basket for Christmas with movie rental gift card and tons of goodies to munch on while they were at home with the new baby. Didn't even get a thank you. Bought her baby a little valentines treat, okay he can't eat but I bought burp clothes, etc. Didn't even get a thank you. Volunteered for her dad and I to babysit on Valentines night so she and her husband could enjoy a romantic dinner out. She declined and didn't even say thanks for the thought. She says that her dad doesn't NEED her anymore. However neither one of them make an attempt to be around the other when I'm not there. My fiance doesn't work on Fridays, I do, and his daughter doesn't work. I've suggested that he take her to lunch or breakfast every Friday but he just says that's a good idea and nothing happens. I've suggested that maybe she could cook him dinner one evening, we don't live together so she could have his undivided attention any evening. Her father does not like her husband because he is supposedly an alcoholic and drug addict that didn't complete rehab. I'm not sure about this, he SEEMS like a wonderful father and husband. However my fiance is not as polite and welcoming to his son-in-law as he could be. I've explained that this is a two way street and that he must treat her husband with respect if he expects her to treat me with respect. My fiance has tried to talk to his daughter but things aren't getting any better, possibly worse even. My parents are not divorced so I can not begin to understand how my FSD feels from that standpoint. And I do understand how she feels regarding the prenup, etc. She has every right to feel that way but she should still treat me with respect IMO. Please offer any advice you can, I have always wanted a big family and so very much want this to work out.

Well I'm trying to run for treasurer for next year's 9th grade class. My school is basically preppy ppl and asians, so I'm wondering if this speech is appealing to the right group of people. I am not popular and I don't actually talk like this, but I thought that this might be the best way to approach them. Is it convincing, can you guys help me correct some stuff, fill in some blanks(not the name ones :P)? Hey Everyone! I’m ------ and I’m running for Treasurer of Student Office. I can’t promise you that I’ll make high school a million times better with me as Treasurer instead of someone else, but I do want to make 9th grade more fun. One thing I’d love to do is be able to have more class field trips. Not boring, stupid ones like going to the museum and taking notes, but ones that are pure fun like Great America minus the science packets. Trips cost money though, but don’t worry I have a few ideas on how we can easily earn that money. One way that we could earn money is through a raffle. By buying tickets you’d be able to win prizes like gift cards, iPods, cash or anything else that you might like. We could also raise money by having “Fun Days”. Like the school dance, we’d have to buy a ticket in order to go there, but instead of holding it after school Fund Day would be in the middle of school. Once you’re there you could be able to have balloon fights, basket ball games, (something else) or anything in between. I know I’d like to have a day where I can skip class without getting in trouble and have fun. You might not like these ideas, though so as Treasurer I’d always be open to your thoughts and opinions. Tell me what you want because if you want high school to be better vote ------- for Treasurer!

One of my friends is turning 20 soon and i have thought of two different present ideas. There is nothing in particular she wants so i was thinking either: A gift basket where you just put a whole bunch of random small things in there that i know she likes i.e. energy drinks candy scratchers and such or there is that website where you can buy to have a star named after someone and you get a certificate and stuff. Which one do you think is better?

I have discovered a retired webkinz trick. This is to share my idea with everyone! So, at my local gift shop they sell webkinz, and they have a "RETIRING" basket. Right now it has the monkey, the racoon, and the lilkinz unicorn in it. So, i bought 2 monkeys: . Next, i put my first monkey onto my account. I didnt put the other monkey onto it. Next,i'm gonna wait for 6 months. So, its four months later say, and i sell my mokey for 80 dollars on eBay, because it's really rare now. Oh, Wow! Now i can buy 5 webkinz, or 8 littlekinz! So, there's my little trick. It's the best way to get almost 'free' webkinz!

my bf is 24.. when he and i moved in together he was still at home, never moved out. he gets an easter basket still!! and his mom even told him he wasnt allowed to move to another state! and told me i need to stop buying him clothes, etc as gifts. i think she buys him clothes alot.i dunno.. when serious issues arise he seems to call home before asking me. although she is nice to me i believe she is jealous by comments like "he never took me four wheeling like he did you" or "omg he listens to you.. he doesnt me" you get the picture. i dont even respect him when i see him as a little weak mamas boy. i dont know if im overreacting.. or what to do about him.

our 6 month anni is coming up, and we decided to exchange gifts. i'm 15, he's 17. he's REALLY sweet, he respects me, we NEVER fight, and he's just an AWESOME boyfriend and i want to get him something sweet that he would like. i think he already got me something, i thought it was sneakers at first but now i feel it's a pink ipod, lol. anyways, we're both really into sneakers; jordans and nikes and all that. we collect them. he wears a hat EVERY day, he loves SNAP BACK hats. at first i was gonna get him sneakers and a hat to match, but that seems too OBVIOUS. unless i get him sneakers and something sweet too, but i only have 0. i was gonna make him a picnic and buy him sneakers or make him a picnic and put a gift card to one of his favorite stores with like in it or something, but he figured out the picnic idea, so i don't wanna do it anymore. than i was gonna give him a giant basket with cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and all that good stuff with gift cards and etc. but that seems... too much like a picnic. i really wanna surprise him. we're gonna hang out all day, so i'd take him out and stuff, but i also want to get him a PRESENT. so don't say just a day of fun and stuff. for past presents i've gotten him : jeans, a CD, a DVD, cologne, candy, and a stuffed animal. i don't wanna get him any of that. my spending limit is obviously around 0, a little more is okay and a little less is alright, but i don't wanna get him something for or 0. and idk about jewelry or personal engraved things, seems cheesy. examples? serious answers ONLY please ! 10 points goes to the best answer. =] and i'm never really home alone so as nice as sitting home watching TV and cuddling sounds, it won't happen, lol.

I got a pink basket, ()put a big teddy bear (8)in it with a nice overcoat(19) from bebe for her.In the basket is also a pretty pink cinderella dress(16) and a princess lavender barbie doll.(6) There's also traditional dress (10)that I got sometime back.I just have a feeling it all looks tacky now. Shipping box is and shipping would be Almost makes it come to 80 with everything? So total about Plz dont say its too much money as we do exchange expensive gifts and this is our niece' 1st bday. Now the other option I had in mind was..remove the basket,the big packaging box and the huge teddy and instead buy her a nice gold stud earring for ? This she might remember forever as her bday gift but the other things would be useless, the teddy and basket especially...what do you guys think?

I'm working on gift baskets for my family for Christmas, (I know, it's only May, early shopper) anyway, they're all nascar fans, too, and I wanted to do each basket with stuff for their favorite drivers. My question is, if someone were to give you a gift basket, what would be the 1 thing you'd MOST like to see in the basket? (please don't say tickets, there are 7 people I'm making these for, I can't afford that many tickets, lol..) okay, I walked right into the tickets thing, didn't I?

the baby being 6 mnths old. The eldest is at school, so 3 at home . It is busy as you could imagine. My hubby works and i run the household (not complaining as i enjoy being at home). He helps out at the busy time at night but i still do the bulk. S i tell him i want nice pyjamas for mothers day, he acts like it is a chore. On saturday i go into the shops to finish off the md shopping which included getting his mum a gift too!!! and he tells me to buy the pyjamas, i refused. So he went in the same time as me. For mothers day we were having a bbq and had to leave at 10:30. I got the pj's and a cup of tea in bed. At 7:45 he checks the surf . At 8:00 he tells me he is surfing, I say "what on mothers day" he says yes and goes. Back at 10:15, read my letter which expressed my hurt, we were late for bbq b/c we then had to pack the basket b/c i spent the morn with an unsettled baby and doing usual jobs. I felt i deserved more than this. Have i over reacted?I am not talking to him.

So i am due 16 days after my good friend, and her baby shower is coming up and i just have no idea what to get her. I mean she does have a baby registry but no offense to her but it kinda sucks the stuff she has on there.... I just dont know what to buy, i have a good idea of what to get somone but for some reason the fact that i also need a whole ton of stuff too makes me confused on what to buy her. I was thinking like a basket with like bibs and wipes and bottles and stuff, but that just seems lame-- then i thought to get her a gift card, but then she will know how much i spent, and i dont want her to feel obligated to spend a certain amount on my baby shower when i have mine... So any good suggestions would be great, and also things that you got at your baby shower that you thought were unique that not every person got you would be helpful. yea i understand that is why i dont want to buy the diaper and wipes deal--- but trust me if you saw her registry there is nothing on there except for over expensive stuff that i wont buy her-- or toys for the kid-- so thats kind of why i am stuck bc i dont have anything yet either but i dont see anything on her registry that i would consider important for myself, it seems like they just put down, strange stuff so thats why i am asking what the most beneficial thing at an affordable price would be or that you got for your showers?

I have a 2 year old grandaughter my first grandaughter .. Ever since I met the girlfriend 3 years ago she has always said I didnt like her . I have told her many times I do like her . She had my grandaughter 2 years ago and when she was pregnant I was told I couldnt buy the baby's first anything .. The crib was a mother daughter thing and everything else was her and my son .. I said ok and understood that .. Well she has a baby shower and I bought clothes and toys and gave her a card with money to go shopping with me . We went shopping .. she bought what she wanted. Well Now after 2 years she told me that Bought nothing for the grandaughter .. I explained I was trying to do what she told me to do and not step on her toes to buy anything of the first.. She said I was a horrible grandmother and do nothing for them. She is 18 now and my son is 19 they live with her grandmother . I have bought 1000's of dollars of things for this grandaughter since she was born . MOm says I dont do anything for them .. I have helped buy them a truck and paid for my sons auto insurance every month now for 2 years. to help out in December alone and not for christmas present I bought him 600 dollars worth of tires for the truck . On Thanks giving day the girlfriend had to work and I asked my son if he could come over with the baby I had not been aloud to see the baby for a month and the girlfriend said no .. That he needed to stay home and help her grandmother with thanksgiving dinner .. I have to tell you buy the way I have never been able to keep my grandchild with out her mom there or see her the girlfriend said that i have to come over to their house to see her and play with her in her room .. There are 10 people who live in that house some of which are not the type of people I would want to be around . Any way I got mad about the thanksgiving thing and finally after 2 years told the girlfriend she was not welcome in my home anymore.. I am fed up with buying the girlfriend things explaining to her i loved her and feeling like I have to buy them things just to see the grandchild . Well christmas came and many phone calls from the girlfriend cussing me out and my son calls to see if the girlfriend can come over for christmas ..I was appalled .. but despite our difference I told my son I had not bought anything for the girfriend and It will probably hurt her if she came .. I had bought for my granddaughter though ,, He told me she is fine with that just wanted the baby to see her grandmother on christmas I have to other sons and their girlfriends and babies were there tooo they got a lot of gifts and the girlfriend went home crying because i Had not bought her anything.. I did give her a gift that i had bought extra in case someone did show up announced like a friend or something.. I gave it to her .. was not good enough she was upset because she saw what the other girls got .. anyway we had a conversation yesterday and the girlfriend told me it was my responsibility as a grandmother to buy things for them and the baby and i shouldnt be whinning about paying for the insurance for my son and buying the tires because he is my son . That I should be greatful to do these things because I make good money .. She thought she was better than a bath and body works gift basket.. She said you cant expect to treat me this way and see your grandaughter... I am soooooooooo confused.. She thinks I have to buy things for them .. I explained to her I am not responsible to buy things the things I buy are out of love.. She said no you are the grandmother u are sopposed to do these things .. I am appalled and dont know what to do Thank you so much I am not crazy after all .. Her family sides with her .. But all 10 people are family members and dont work and live off each other .. They have lost 3 houses in 2 years because they never pay the rent . NO one works except my son and the grandmother part time that they live with .. And yes my doctor told me I needed to seek counceling for this as well.. To know how to make boundaries .. All I ever wanted to do was be a grandmother .. I 2nd grandaughter all I have to do is call mom and dad and they bring her and we do many things together ..

I'm not sure which one to buy. I got a 50 dollar gift card to best buy and I don't know which series I'll like better. I usually watch the first two episodes of a series before I buy it. But what I'm looking for is an anime that's gonna make me cry more, and I don't know which one of the two will. Also if you think there's another series I should get in English Dub (my eyes can never keep up with subtitles) then reccommend me to them. I love tear-jerker anime, and I just started getting into some of it, and romance is usually better but I can do regular drama too... But out of those two which would be better? Ah! My Goddess made me cry, if that helps.

I am doing this program (it is due by Christmas time) where I adopt-a-family for Christmas. 2 girls and buying for the mom. One girl is 3 and the other is 12. I am giving them each 3 books (inculding mom), 4 toys or games (the mom will get a CD player and CDs instead), clothes, and a bathroom basket they can have there stuff inside it and the basket has there name on it. Any ideas on what clothes, toys, and bathroom supplies they will each need? I also want to do a joint-gift. What could it be? And for the 12 year old should I add sanitary products in her bathroom basket?

So far I have about 15-18 friends (not even including family) that i need to get Christmas gifts for. I'm thinking of going to the dollar store and making the women "beauty baskets" and the men chocolate or something. Anyhow, this is going to come to like 40-60 dollars, and i really don't feel like spending that much. I have a limited budget, but these people are very important to me, and i have to get them gifts. I would classify myself as an utterly classy person, and i hate the idea of getting people i love gifts from the dollar store. I still have to get charitys and non profit organizations gifts, and donate money, which leaves limited funds for the nice gifts for my mom Please help, and please don't say "don't get everyone gifts" Lots of love and Merry Christmas, Lana Also, how do i get in the Christmas spirit?

I have a 9 year old who is absolutely irresponsible with all her belongings. She doesn't care if she loses her toys, she doesn't care if she leaves her jacket on the bus, etc. We have tried grounding her, making her pay to replace things, etc. Nothing works. I have tried helping her by showing her how to clean her room. I have tried reminding her when she leaves things out. The kicker was when I went in her room and found all her Ninetendo DS game cartridges scattered all over the floor. This is a gift she received from her Grandmother for Christmas. After picking them up, several were missing. She had no idea what she had done with them. I am at the point now where I don't want to give her ANYTHING anymore. I mean no more new clothes, no more birthday gifts, no more easter baskets. Not until she starts taking care of what she has now. I explained to my Mother that we would not be doing anything for her for Valentine's Day or Easter this year. My mom lost it on me telling me that would be cruel because we are going to get things for our older daughter. I tried to explain that my daughter doesn't value anything because we keep just buying her more but my older daughter (she's 10) is responsible with her belongings. Do you think that it would be cruel to just not get anything for my daughter for awhile until she starts showing us that she is going to be more responsible?

Ok. My daughter just called me tears telling me that this is the best Christmas. She has 4 children and is recently divorced so her paycheck was just enough to pay the bills. The kids school got wind of her situation and decided to put her on their "Adopt this family for Christmas" list. Yesterday they gave her a big sack with diapers, toys for the kids, clothes and shoes. Today she got a call from two other organizations with donations for food baskets. About a month ago we had decided that for Christmas this year we would ignore the "commercial Christmas" gift giving rituals and focus on the Church services, take the kids to see the lights, sing Christmas carols around the tree, volunteer to take food to shut-ins, and stuff like that. After doing some of that stuff the stress is gone, and it is truly uplifting to see people smile because of our efforts. The kids say that they have never had so much fun and this is their best Christmas ever. Merry Christmas everyone!!

So Far Party Favor ideas: - Small packages of cookies shaped like houses (cookie cutters available at craft stores) - A candle that is decorated is always a nice gift and often inexpensive if you buy a bunch. You can buy plain candles and hot glue cinnamon sticks around them, or buy nice ribbon and line the top and bottom or buy glitter to decorate with. - Many stores have See's candy chocolate bars for only .00. If you have a small gathering (say15 or less) the cost is reasonable. Wrap these bars individually with beautiful bows. This makes a delicious and fun take home gift. - Go to Bath and Body Works and get a bunch of hand-sized, great-smelling lotions and lip balms. Put them all in pretty basket and place tiny bows on them. Let guests help themselves. - Wrap brownies in colored plastic, net and ribbon! anymore ideas?

Right now,times are tight and money is low,but I was able to buy my wife a Valentine's gift. Now,tell me,would any of you ladies be satisfied with this? I bought her a half-dozen pink roses, a pink medium sized bear,some candy,and a card. I also took her to the movies and cooked for her. I got some candy in a small basket. She told me the next day that she wasnt satisfied because she didnt receive the roses at work like her co-workers did,and she was expecting a dozen. We argued about it and then I left. When I returned home,I found red rose petals leading up to our bedroom,with the lights off and candles lit. My wife was in her lingerie. I changed my clothes and slept in the spare bedroom. Sex didnt win that day,I did

The one I am looking for is plastic, made for young children maybe 12months+. It is mostly pink and white, designed for girls. It has a basket on the front with a plush baby doll in it. I seen it at wal-mart a few months ago and thought it would make a great Easter gift for my almost 1 year old. Now that it is time to buy, I cannot find a trace of it anywhere. Do you know the name of the toy I'm looking for? Help, I'm running out of shopping time!

I'm making my family relative a gift for her wedding and I need a representation of some things. Like stuff I can buy to put into a basket to give to her. Stuff to remind her of these things: ~Laughter ~Bubbly Personality ~Smiles ~Finding Good In Everyone ~Compassion (this one is very important) ~Loyalty ~Honesty (as is this one) ~Respect ~To Be A Little More Patient ~To Communicate Better ~To Be Less Stubborn ~To Be Outgoing ~To Be Self-Confident ~To Believe The first set is what she's good at. The 2nd is what she needs to work on. You don't have to answer all of them, but if you can think of anything for any one of them, it would help me ou a ton. Just some simple ideas. ;) Thanks! ~Danzgirl

okay, so ive decided to go the cheap route this year for christmas, i cant afford individual expensive gifts, so what are some good ideas of food items to put into a basket for christmas, to give to family members?

I feel like a lot of my family (exluding my mom and friend) won't appreciate it. They're not really the natural, hand made artsy types. They already have a lot of expensive stupid jewelry, longaberger baskets, bath and body items and yankee candles, the kids are all out grown from dolls and stuffed toys. All of their things are store bought and name brands...I don't think they'd appreciate what I can make because of this. Is there anything at all I can make that they might appreciate?

He loves red lable - but he can obviously buy it for himself I got him 2 packs of black and mild cigs and a gift cert to a store - it's between 7 employees (bartenders) .....do youo think this will suffice or should I put it in a basket with chocolate and put the cigs and gift cert in there or this too much?

My mom and I sell Avon. my mom buys A lot of Avon When its really cheap. Its still brand new and now she has a lot of product that we should sell and would be excellent mothers day gifts.

NOW this will be at my house I live off of a busy street I was wondering if i put a sign out saying: Mothers day gifts and Avon products do you think I would have ppl come. If you have an idea tell me what you think?

My husband and I have been married for 4 yrs. and everytime I get him a gift he winds up taking it back. He always says lets not worry about getting each other anything-but, he ALWAYS gets me something. I have to admit I'm not real good at the gift giving thing. He likes golf, playing cards and is a basket ball coach. He is hard to buy for because if he wants something he gets it for himself. He is pretty simple. Any suggestions or something neet to do for him - tomorrow is the day. Dont say wait for him naked at home or anything like that-We have three kids-one of them being "our three yr old" that demands our attention until bed time- Did I mention I tend to wait unitl the last minute-that might be why he never likes my gifts-lol

I have been with my current boyfriend for three christmas's now, and i always get things for people in his family. I got both of his sisters stuff already, but i need stuff for his mom, and brother. Last year i bought her a basket, and then, filled it with a comfy throw, bath beads, movies, comfy socks, hand warmers, a massage thing, a hot pad, pj pants, and other stuff like that. I do not want to get her the same stuff this year, so i need some ideas. She is building a new house this spring, and so i was thinking about getting her stuff for her new house, but she is not really big into decor, or candles, and stuff like that, so i am having trouble thinking of stuff. And then his brother is a farmer, and really tough to buy for, so please try to give me as many ideas as possible!! thanx! :)

Haha first off sorry about the creepy title, i promise it does pertain to the question. i just wanted an interesting title so people would actually be willing to read this. My question for you guys is what should i buy my best friend and my girlfriend for christmas. They are both girls and my girl friend is 15 and my best friend 16. I really need some ideas. Don't give me lame ideas i've already heard "get her a basket of coffee" and "buy her refrigirator magnets." rofl what kind of teenager wants coffee or magnets as a gift? (rhetorical question) Ok so here are my ideas: For my girlfriend: Nice looking jewelry from kohl's, but is still cheap! Maybe some chocolate as well. For my best friend: Perfume and a can of whipped cream with a note on it that says "how about we put this to good use tonight?" haha im not planning on cheating on my girlfriend but me and my best friend have a funny sense of humor. I'm sure she would laugh like hell at it. 10 points to whoever can suggest anything better than those two ideas. The whipped cream idea is pretty funny, but im sure you guys can come up with some other sexual joke involving a gift that would be even funnier! Thanks in advance! Ethan you're creepy and thanks nicole, but i need some ideas people! Haha thanks pchs. Guys i have an update: my girlfriend just broke up with me last night so yea... not looking for jewelry or anything expensive. Shes been my childhood friend for like 8 years so im not going to ditch her. We are still good friends so now im looking for gift ideas for a good friend and my best friend haha. thanks for the help. Haha thanks for the support guys but i really need some good ideas. surely you can come up with somthing better than this! i came up with it in 2 minutes.

Ok, so this one I'm going to do for his birthday, another basket like thing, but with a chips and dip bowl, with dips and chips money (for a pizza and wings) and of course beer! So he can spend time with his buddies & then take him out to dinner. :D If things go as planned he wont be deployed till after his birthday and then i can do it!! :) Hopefully, he'll like it all. :D Just wanted to say thank you for everyones opinion. ashley

I have sent Mother's Day gifts before her child was born, made baskets of baby clothing for my grandbaby, sent her birthday gifts, and Christmas gifts and have only recieved text messages saying thank-you- no notes or telephone calls. I put a large amount of effort into making these gifts as personal and from the heart that I could. I have called her to go to lunch and she never returns the call. I am wondering if she just does not like me, or that she has poor manners when it comes to me. My son calls me out on all things that she find offensive, but I am not allowed to say anything. I need some outside help to figure out if I am reading in to things, or if there really seems to be something negative going on.

I'm talking the works. I want this to be the most romantic year of our lives and I want it to go on and on forever. But I want it to be things we'll both appreciate. We got married on 20th December, and left up to my own devices I would make candlelight dinners every Friday night in 2009, wear sexy lingerie and have romantic sex sessions, make him heart shape pancakes on shrove Tuesday, buy him a beautiful gift for Valentine's and engrave it with our wedding date, take him on Picnic's in the park etc. That would be fine but I think he'll get a bit overloaded with all the mushy stuff. As I type, he's soaking in a rosepetal bath with a glass of Champagne. What can I do that he'll REALLY enjoy? How about filthy, animalistic sex instead of romantic sex once in a while? How about a basket of porn or a paintballing session for Valentines rather than an engraved gift? Help me guys!!

I was invited by my old coworkers to attend their yearly Christmas luncheon... eight women. Every year, we spend - for the exchange. I was thinking of putting together a little basket with Christmas pines, holly, those glittery flowers/branches and then lights (sort of a decorator thing), but I want something else to go with it. What should I get? I haven't seen most of these ladies since May, so I do want to get something nice for the exchange. I'm just stuck as to what "else". Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks :)

On valentines day, I cooked a special dinner with candle light, hand made a valentine and wrote a poem in it, bought a gold chain as a gift in a heart shaped basket filled with favorite treats for my husband of two years. He came home empty handed and cannot understand why I got my feelings hurt.What would you do?

This Christmas I received a Harry and David gift basket from my uncle. The basket came with goodies, coffees, and a jar of Apple Butter. I tried it on toast and honestly thought it was disgusting. I love apples, applesauce, and butter so I was dissapointed. Does anyone have any great pork or chicken recipes for a picky eater?

I need some ideas for gifts. Instead of buying commercial gifts for people i usually makes them its become a tradition. I did baskets years ago, hot cocoa in jars with mugs last year, cookies the year before. This year i need something fun AND inexpensive. They need to be kid friendly too. Ages 8 to 17. Thank you all so much. Hey rob thanks and you are an idiot. The ppl in my family appreciate my handmade gifts. The ones I put my love and time into. I guess thats the difference between having a heart instead a lump of coal in your chest. I hope you have a VERY merry Christmas. And that in the upcoming year is everything you want it to be. I send you all my Christmas love Rob.

She wants to start a candy and cookie bouquet? She wants to know would anyone buy these things? She is offering baskets, truffles, fudge, specialty candies, and the bouquets. She is trying to find a small store to get started in. She wants to know how to go about getting started? She thinks that this is the business for her because she has a background in florist work and has been told that her arrangements are beautiful. I don't know what to tell her because my business is in the health consulting field. I know the basics but I don't know what to tell her as far as the gift industry is concerned. Any help please?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and I have met his parents once when they flew out back in may. I don't talk to them but they ask about me and I ask my boyfriend about them. I'm going home with my boyfriend for the first time this december and although i'm flying back home to be with my family two days before christmas, I want to send or bring something for my boyfriends parents as a sort of christmas/thank you for letting me stay with them and visit present. I was thinking some sort of gift basket but I feel like that's too impersonal. Any ideas?

I wanna make Christmas gifts using air-drying clay. But I never done it before. I already bought this material, but I need a website to guide me to make it step by step. And I've been googling in the net for some days, but til now I haven't found any good sites (or maybe I'm just too dumb to find it??) :p I wanna make a picture frame with flowers or a basket of flowers. All answers will be very appreciated. Thanks guys :) I'm using ready-to-use paper clay.

Luckily, for me and my family, my brother will be home for Christmas this year before going over-seas. He is in the U.S. Marine Corp and is the second youngest in my family. We have come up with a great gift idea, but we need some additional ideas to go with it.... We have decided to make him a "home-away-frome-home" gift basket and fill it with things he loved when he was home and things to remember us by. Keep in mind he needs to be able to take these products on a plane with him and be able to have it at base. For example, I am adding beef jerky and saying sorry for all of the times I was a jerk to you, my sister is putting in a hacky sack, my mom is putting in some BBQ sauce because he use to put it on everything, my dad is making fudge to look like pig poo (we live on a hog farm), and my little brother is putting a picture of himself saying that he is hotter and sorry he got all the good genes :) We would like to add a little more though so any ideas would be helpful! Thanks a bunch and my brother is 20 by the way!

I got this in the mail. The Rural Community Food Pantry has begun preperation for it's Annual Christmas Progam -The Angel Gifts and Food Baskets. Your family has been included in the program this year. Perhaps you have recieved help at the food pantry during this past year or your church or school is concerened and feels your family could benefit from assistance at this time of year. Whatever the reason, we want to help. Then it goes on to explain if you send your info in you will recieve a food basket and a spot on an angel tree for my child. In other words he would be donated gifts for Christmas. I feel so angry that the school gave a charitable organization out name and adress. The only thing that may have given them the idea that we are poor is that our son is on the free lunch program and we did not buy school pictures because we feel it is robbery to charge dollars for a few pictures especially when we can get a bunch of pics for .99 @ walmart w/ better poses and backrounds. My child has lots of nice clothes and is always clean and well groomed. None of us look poor. We just have to be extra carefull w/ our $$ right now because I go to school part time and work part time while my husband only brings in 0 a week. We are trying to pay off a loan and mortgage. We trim the fat wherever possible.We live in a small town and I do not want the community to think we are a charity case. I just think it was incredibly presumpsuos to give our name away with out asking first! I spelled that way wrong!! LOL Kellie, amazed in a good way I hope. It is just my pride getting in the way. It is a very small town and most of the people here have nice big houses and money. Living in a small town where everyone knows your buisness can be hard. People tend to look down on you here if you can not keep up with the Joneses. I do not want my kids to be ostrasized. You have to live in a small predominantly Catholic cliquey town as I do maybe to better understand the situation here,

I just got as an early Christmas gift of a deep fryer. I know from reading the user guide and other information on the Internet that it is perfectly acceptable to leave fryer oil in the new fryer for extended periods of time. At least until it looks like it needs to be filtered. Particularly if i am primarily doing french fries in it. But, my question is the fryer basket, can i just leave it soaking in the cold oil all the time? or does it need to be washed every time I use the fryer? I think Joseph misunderstood my question, I was talking about the basket not the oil... Thanks Lamb, I knew it was ok to leave the oil in pot until it looks like needs to be filtered just was not sure on the basket. I will just wash it to be safe :) thanks again Lamb Thanks Mr curious. that totally answered my question. I thought it would be OK to leave it in there since I have a lid. I have a feeling you going to be right and I going to be using it much more than I thought. Best present ever!!

So My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a month now. I am on a tight budget right now due to a lack of a job. I know he loves sprees, anything with caramel, nobakes (his fav cookie) skittles and rasberry tea. He also loves wolves and trees. His major is forestry. so pun not intended he loves wood. He loves being outdoors. I was thinking about CHristmas and how i dont have much money to spend so i was thinking about buying a little basket and filling it with caramel truffles and rolios and bunch of diffrent carmel candies with sprees skittles and a canister of rassberry tea. i was also thinking about printing a bunch of pictures off of us and placing them in the basket. Since he loves ferns i was thinking about buying some of those fake ferns and placing them about the basket of candy and tea and use that silophone clear stuff and tieing it shut with a fern. What do you guys? Do you think he will like it? How would i incorperate wolves into this gift??? I really want him to like and and have it be special

My boyfriend is extremely strapped for cash this year, due to recently being laid off. He's relatively young (in his 20s), and is barely getting by. He is barely able to pay his rent, and very rarely ever has anything left over for food, gas, entertainment, etc. I am thinking that, because of the situation he's in, I'd really love to do something for him for Christmas to help even just a little bit. My two ideas are either getting him a nice wallet full of tons of gift cards for gas, grocery stores, etc. or else making him a really nice, huge gift basket of basic everyday essentials that he needs. Would these be good ideas, or would it come across as offensive? I'm also thinking of getting him a DVD he'd like, but I'm more-so concerned with getting him basic things that he is having to go without. Are there any more ideas out there that might be more subtle?

I just bought the Coach Straw Basket as an early Mother's Day gift for myself! =) Here's a photo: http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?product_no=9372&category_id=68 I called Coach's Customer Service, and the rep told me the fabric trim is not treated for water or stain, which surprised me. She said I can apply an oil-free repellent to the fabric trim but to be sure not to get any on the straw or leather. This sounds difficult to me. Any suggestions? Should I take it to a shoe repair place or a tailor? Thanks! My bag has the white trim. The bag is trimmed with both leather and cotton canvas, and it is an authentic Coach product. The bag is edged with leather, and the wide ribbon just under that is fabric. Thanks.

I have 3 siblings, an 8 year old brother, a 7 year old sister, and a 6 year old brother. I recently left my job, and i dont really have the money to spend on their easter gifts like I usually do. My step father makes a lot of money and I always feel like he competes with my gifts, I get something great - he has to get something outrageous. I cant compete anymore... The kids are spoiled so I'm worried that they wont be grateful for what I give them... Its a terrible feeling. Not only that, but the 7 and 8 year old will be turning into 8 and 9 years old in april (so i'll be going gift shoping once again) I decided that instead of putting together easter baskets, or buying a pre-made one...that I'll put together an easter egg hunt for them. I bought 60 eggs and filled them with their favorite candy (so each can possibly get 30 eggs) I did this becuase they'll be getting their easter candy in a fun way (they love egg huts) I also bought an empty easter bucket for each child

Last time I gave her some really beautifully packaged soap and before that, a gift basket of toiletries. She is alert in her mind, but sometimes relies on a walking frame. She is heavily built. I want to get something that will get some sort of reaction, like WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA! I ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE! Because she just gave a weak nod at the last two gifts, as I suppose bathroom stuff is all anyone ever gives old people. I thought of perhaps a gigantic water pistol that looks like a machine gun, and she can water the garden with it. At least there would be some reaction from her and the other guests on Christmas day. I would ask her rellies but I am afraid they might mention something that is too expensive and/or something that I have to spend 3 days hunting down. Because I have made that mistake before with other people. I am going to her rellies for Christmas lunch and we are all contributing to the food and drink, and we usually all exchange gifts. I didn't want to get her a book as I don't think she has the concentration, and magazines are provided at the home. Nothing small like jewellery cos it gets lost when other residents who are more confused, thinks it is theirs.

On December 18, I am going to be giving out about 150 Milk Chocolate Hershey's Bars to friends for Christmas at school. It's my way of sharing the Christmas love without having to spend too much. The past two years, I've bought the cars two days or so before I give them out. This year, I am buying more actual gifts (like giftcards and such), so I want to get the Hershey Bars (I buy the 6 packs) bought and out of the way so I can see how much more I need for close friends. My question is: does it matter when I buy them? Aren't they vacuumed sealed? Won't they be fine in 19 days or so? Plus, won't it be OK to leave them outside on the top of my refrigerator? Or even inside? They will either be sitting in Target or sitting in my house. Is there a difference? Basically: 1. Would anything regarding the quality of the Hershey Bars happen if I bought them now? 2. Should I keep them in the refrigerator or on top? I ask number two because we still have a basket of candy left from Halloween, and there are the mini Hershey bars and they've been sitting in my kitchen and I feel they taste awesome when I eat them a month later.

At a graduation party, is it "okay" to ask the guests to fill out an envelope that has their name and address on it so it is easier to send the "Thank You" later? Or is that asking too much? I would have a stack of envelopes and some pens and a basket for them to put it in, and I would "cooly" suggest they do it, but is that rude? Is there a better way that I could get a list of all the names of the people that attended without it being a formality? I just want to be able to send a "Thank you" to everyone, regardless of 'if they bought a gift or card', etc. I don't want to leave anyone out.

So I'm putting a homemade Christmas gift basket together for my boyfriend. We have been dating for about 2 1/2 months. Hes 21 and is kinda of a simple guy. He likes video games and movies. So far I've got him Assassins Creed 2, Flannel pajama pants, a bag of the mini snack bag of Oreos, bag of mini heath chocolate bars, and a pepperidge farm summer sausage. Ive already spent about 70 dollars. But I kinda either wanted to get him the Hangover or some calvin klein cologne. I can get a Discount since my friend works at calvin. And some of hs favorite coffee grinds. That expensive Dunkin donuts coffee. So Do you think I should get him something els or leave it at what I got him already? If so which one or do u have any other ideas? And Guys give me ur opinion on the whole basket idea?

If you knew you were getting a gift basket for Christmas, what items would you want to be put in it? This means anything, make it unique...what is something you wouldn't think of coming in a gift basket, but if it were up to YOU, it would be!

I have heard that it is proper etiquette to get a gift for the bridal shower and the wedding. Well, all of my bridal shower gifts were bought off of my registry and (I know this is cheating) I looked at my registry and nothing else has been bought and my wedding is in 2 days. My mom made a basket with flowers for any money gifts and we are having a gift table, what if no one brings a gift? I don't know how I would feel if the table was empty! Not that I demanding gifts, but if I were a guests I be like, oh poor bride and groom, no one got them anything! What would you do? As I said, I am not worried about gifts, I am worried about what people will think if there is an empty gift table. I don't want people to feel sorry for us like that, does that make sense now?

Mkay, so june 25th is my Best Friend in the whole wide worlds birthday! I want to get her something that she will enjoy && not just throw away when she's cleaning out her closet. Last year i bought her a really cute American Eagle shirt, but i learned that she'll wear it then never again. (she does all her clothes this way) I wanna do something that she will really enjoy. We are practically twins. (our b-days are 4 days apart!) I was thinking something personal but fun...

Kinda like a BFF shirt. We made some for homecoming week. They are really cute. * a basket of just random things. (scrap book, shirt, a mixed cd of her FAVORITE songs, etc...) Again just give me some help! THANKS!!!

Umm, I fell off a 25ft bridge and broke my right leg in 4 diffrent places including my ankle, and I have a HUGE cast. 'Cause I had to have surgrey and metal screws put in. My moms been helping me with the showering and stuff, and I even bought shorts and bikini underwear so it would be easier to put on. (my cast is fatter then an adults leg... a FAT adults leg...) But, as you can imagine, I spent sometime in the hospital so I didn't exactly get a chance to SHAVE my legs. So, their kinda, hairy. EWW. I know right? I'm going back to school on Monday in a wheel-chair and of course im gonna be wearing shorts and im kinda gonna draw a lot of attention. 'Cause the principle announced it over the speakers and everyday I get messages on myspace, text messages, flowers, balloons, gift baskets, and defaintly a lot of cards. I had 4 classes make me cards. WHOA. One of my friends told me I can shave with lotion, is that true? 'Cause I can't exactly sit in the shower or sit on the edge 'cause thats how I fell off and broke my leg. Except it was on a bridge. I don't want to cut my legs so help me! Has anyone tried it?

I had a beautiful Bougainvillea taken from my front porch. It was red, and had fallen to the porch in a rainstorm and the sides of the plastic basket, had sustained cracks in it.. Not enough to make me transplant the flower, but it leaked water out both sides when I watered it. I had been sitting with a neighbor the day before and a man walked up and said, "I gonna bring you some more flowers tomorrow. She looked at me and replied, 'I have enough flowers', no more, her entire yard was filled with beautiful flowers in pots. Now this was not a nice man, and my first thought was these flowers have been taken from some persons porch. Well the next night he got my Bougainvelia, I saw him take it, but it was two in the morning and he might have had a knife on him.So I did nothing. Is there anything I can put on the baskets to prevent them from being taken? I sent letter to the Editor asking if anyone had bought flower/basket that leaked when watered. Thanks, It was a Mothers day gift.

Last year I bought a basket, red heart tinsel to go around the basket, a card, a teddy bear, 2 ceramic angels, love coupons, different kind of candy that she loves, a stuffed dog, and a few more items. What are some gift ideas for this year? So ladies, really, what would you like? I will probably go with roses at her job, but what about after that! Thank you so very much and for your time!

I feel like she hates me...My friend and I were alone and we were really hungry at like 4 am. I thought this gift basket on the counter was another Christmas gift for my family, and it had good looking food in it. I didn't realize at the time that it could be FOR someone else. We ate some of the stuff and went to bed leaving it on the counter. I was really tired because I got like 4 hours of sleep the night before then I stayed up really late and I ended up sleeping until 3 in the afternoon. My mom was really mad I slept in, and she also is really mad we ate the gift basket food because it was a gift for someone else. Then we said we were hungry and she yelled at me about the basket and said we could eat a sandwich. I said we didn't want sandwiches and she yelled at me more. We went to the grocery store and she was like "WHATEVER. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, LIKE YOU DID BEFORE!" and we felt really bad. Then we came home and she was all "GET AWAY FROM ME!" and yelled at me more about everything wrong I did. She made me squeeze lemons for her "lemon cleanse" and I said I was done and she was like "OH REALLY! DID YOU THROW AWAY ALL THE LEMON PEALS!?" and I said no, and she was like "OH YAY, MORE HALF ASSED ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOU!' then I went upstairs and felt bad so I stayed in my room for a while and felt like she might have calmed down so I went downstairs and she was like "GO TO BED!" and I asked why and she was like "WELL, PRINCESS, DON'T YOU NEED 18 HOURS OF SLEEP AGAIN SO YOU CAN BE A BITCH TOMORROW TOO!?" and I said completely seriously "When you say things like that I feel like you don't love me." and she looked happy. Now i'm really sad and I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Every time I say something she has a smart comment. please help.

i am going christmas shopping this weekend for my little brothers (they aren't really little, just younger than me!) ages 18 and 15. they both play guitar VERY well (self taught) and i was looking for some gift ideas for them. i wanted to put together a gift basket for each of them containing some of the things they might need for their guitars (picks, strings, etc) but i also wanted to add some other things...i'm just not sure what! it doesn't HAVE to be guitar themed, it can just be music themed or something that they as teenage boys would get a kick out of. i'm trying to stay with cheaper priced options, however i don't have an EXACT budget so if you guys could let me know about some not-too-pricey items to include in their gifts, please, help!

What do you wish you got more of or needed? What turned out to be worthless or only got used once? Looking for baby shower gift ideas- I have two showers come up and I bought them a gift off their registry but wanted to fill a basket full of little stuff. Both mom's plan to breast feed- so I don't think they need a ton of bottles. (Also I am anti pacifier so I don't give them.) But how many bibs and bib cloths do you need? Anything clever and use-able I can stick in there? Oh- and I work in hosiery so I got them a ton of booties.

This "RE-writer" came with a computer basket I won at an auction. What is the difference between the two? My computer is brand new, HP's newest and biggest Vista pkg. at the local Best Buy so I'm guessing I may be able to gift this to someone?! Thank you!

We have been dating for over 2 and 1/2 years and I do not work because I am studying hard to get into med school. I still live at home with my parents and he still lives with his. (I am 21; he is 22) However, my parents do not exactly help me much in the money department except for gas and food. I want still want to do something special and creative for him but I don't know what? I feel like I have done everything already (gift baskets full of his favorites, painted him pictures, made him CD's of meaningful songs, made collages, made a scrapbook, made a slideshow of pictures on the computer, and when I did have money I bought him the material things he did want) He is very picky and not your typical guy. He isn't into sports (except UFC), but he does like to work out...a definite gym rat. Somewhat into video games, but not so much. Hasn't even played them in over half a year. Very particular about his music choice, pretty much dislikes all modern music lol Is interested in business & stock market mumbo jumbo. I am in a pickle =/ he tells me not to worry and does not understand why I am even worrying about a gift for him but I want him to have a wonderful Christmas...

She's been diagnosed with Leukemia and has been in the hospital since right before Christmas. She's going to be there for a while more. I'd like to send her stuff but am not sure what to send. I do know she can't have any fruit or veggies and live flowers and plants are a no no. Any ideas would be really great. Thank you in advance. :) Oh, and she is out of state too.

One of the things I am making for Christmas gifts is Homemade hot chocolate. I was thinking it might be nice to make a few different flavors and give everyone a basket with each with some mugs and marshmallows. But does anyone know how to add the flavoring or what would be good in it? I was thinking of using a bit of instant coffee for a mocha flavored one but what else?

I let her go, because I was not sure If was really in her Heart. We started as freinds and suprisinlgy I became her boyfreind. We lived together for 5 monts, she sweet, super pretty and quite. These are the things I did in begging for her Back: *I went looking for her to tell the Truth. *When I couldnt find her, I paid 0 to locate her, even though I later fnd her on my own a following week. *When I found her, corrected her with my Truth and Begged a follwing week. *I sent her a Love / Begging letter a following week. *I sent her a gift basket of all the nice things she likes, that I put together a following week. * I met with her person another following week later to plead. *I bought 3 large set of flowers (0 total), and took 3 big Mexican singers (Triio') dudes in my 2 seater car and they did a Serenata" for her birtday at her work another week. *We had many discrete contacts, NO not for Sex, in talking and asking for her back on later different weeks. *I helped her out with a bill.(Just 0.00) weeks later *I took her to get her new car...and No I did not pay for it or or co-sign. After some months, I LET GO. I stopped the pleading. I told her she does not have be in touch with me anymore. Yes I fell into brokeness for a long time too. Okay...Im ready to hear your Answers AND all the ones from YOU saying I was stupid a_ _ in doing it.what I did. It's Okay - for I know you mean well. Have a Super Weekend. When I let her Go, I told her, so that can concrentrate on the Academy again and it be best she stay with her Mom. But it was not the Truth. For I Cared and Loved her.

My boyfriend and I both hate candy, pie, pretty much anything sweet. We don't even eat fastfood. Chocolate is on our nasty list as well. We both agree on keeping things natural/organic. He isn't the type of guy to wear jewelry or a watch. He is more rugged and urban like. We live in LA so there is a lot to offer I just have no idea which direction to take. We never do holidays, but recently we have thought it would be a fun idea to change things up a bit and enjoy Valentine's day. The only catch is we want to have homemade gifts. I need some ideas. We do not live together or alone. My boyfriend is 19 and a musician. I thought about making a gift basket but I have no idea what to put in it. He has all the music he wants. I dont have much money. We already have diner reservations made so I can't make him food. I am totally lost and just want to have an amazing valentines day esppecially since we don't celebrate holidays or birthdays besides like making eachother food for holidays. Help???

One of my co-workers is super sweet and always buying me little things here and there. The other day she got me a key chain holder pink with stars. She also works at Universal Studios part time and got me 2 free tickets, one day we went shopping at the mall and she bought me Starbucks, and today she got me this lether type bracelet with my name on it and a star and heart. its too cute! So i want to get her something too for being so sweet!!!! She also got me a card and stuffed animal for my birhtday a few months back. She loves stars and the playboy bunny sign. She wants to be more girly too, so what are some things i can get her? I want to get her a few things and put them all in a basket.

i am going christmas shopping this weekend for my little brothers (they aren't really little, just younger than me!) ages 18 and 15. they both play guitar VERY well (self taught) and i was looking for some gift ideas for them. i wanted to put together a gift basket for each of them containing some of the things they might need for their guitars (picks, strings, etc) but i also wanted to add some other things...i'm just not sure what! it doesn't HAVE to be guitar themed, it can just be music themed or something that they as teenage boys would get a kick out of. i'm trying to stay with cheaper priced options, however i don't have an EXACT budget so if you guys could let me know about some not-too-pricey items to include in their gifts, please, help! baking? please read my question...i'm wondering what to put in a gift basket for 18 and 15 year old B-O-Y-S who like guitar...not baking.

I am trying to market my all-natural foods as great christmas gifts. They are natural containing no additives, preservatives, MSG or food dyes. There are gift sets but also individual products you can put together to make your own basket. They are things like... European Dipping Oils Breads like Apple. Pumpkin and Beer Bread Culinary Spice Blends Dips, Soups and Salsas Dressings, Marinades and Sauces Infused Grapessed Cooking Oils Sweets like flavored Jams, Chocolate Sauces, Cakes and Muffins Accessories like Fondue Pots and Dipping Dishes Is this something you would either like to give or receive for Christmas? I am marketing but not receiving much response. Maybe it's too early for Christmas shopping? What do you think?? I am not making these products myself. I am a representative for a company called Wildtree Herbs.

I'm talking the works. I want this to be the most romantic year of our lives and I want it to go on and on forever. But I want it to be things we'll both appreciate. We got married on 20th December, and left up to my own devices I would make candlelight dinners every Friday night in 2009, wear sexy lingerie and have romantic sex sessions, make him heart shape pancakes on shrove Tuesday, buy him a beautiful gift for Valentine's and engrave it with our wedding date, take him on Picnic's in the park etc. That would be fine but I think he'll get a bit overloaded with all the mushy stuff. As I type, he's soaking in a rosepetal bath with a glass of Champagne. What can I do that he'll REALLY enjoy? How about filthy, animalistic sex instead of romantic sex once in a while? How about a basket of porn or a paintballing session for Valentines rather than an engraved gift? Help me guys!!

I'd like to make funnel cakes to give in gift baskets for Christmas. Is it possible to make them ahead and freeze them? If so, how do you thaw and re-heat them? Will they still be good and crispy? Need to make quite a few! Thanks!

I have been seeing my girlfiend since last August. In the last two weeks, things have really gone up to the next level. We are officially in love! Since Christmas time, I have been giving gifts a lot. It just seems that many gift giving occasions presented themselves, Christmas, New Years, the flu, Washington's Birthday, Lincolns Birthday, King's Birthday, Valentine's Day, a cold, Easter, the flu again, another cold, Mother's Day, her Birthday. I sent flowers, plants, baskets, stuffed bunnies, a couple of massages (from a pro), books, cd's, videos, etc. She is telling me to not spend any more money on her. I cited all those gift giving occasions that came all in a row & pointed out to her that there are no more gift giving occasions until Christmas now. The problem is this; I am away on business A LOT & I miss her & think of her & I want to send little tokens of my esteem. I have no problem spending money on her. But I don't want her to be concerned over my $. Help me? I don't want to just stop gifts, it might look like I am thinking, "Well, I got the girl, no more need to be romantic and thoughtful." I am very romantic and thoughtful and I LOVE HER! How can I give gifts without seeming to be a spendthrift? (I'm NOT) P.S. She LOVES flowers!

Okay. Christmas is coming and I still have no idea what to get my best friend, Vanessa. She is 14. She doesn't like "girly" things. We already have friendship bracelets. I want to get her something special and something she would keep forever. Oh, and I don't want to take her out for lunch or make her a gift basket because I've already done that for her birthday. Please help. =]

dont have room here for the whole story, but here goes. i've been with my girl for almost 2.5 years (off and on) she has an 8 year old daughter. i live an active life style. (traveling, stage plays, sky diving, water rafting, etc) i treat them both well. one point the child wanted to call me dad. my girl asked me to help buy the childs x-mas gifts. i said i'd buy A gift. she said she meant all gifts. i replied that wasnt my job thats up to her & the dad. (he lives 30 minutes away and rarely pays child support calls even less). she said if i'm going to be with her i have to accept her child. to me that only means to not mistreat her NOT take on the financial burden for her. i do because i want to not because its required. the other day i took my girl shopping. she grabbed clothes for us both. some for child but seperated it in the basket as if she was going to buy it. when the stuff was being rung up @last sec she threw the childs stuff up there2. got in the car & i went off. 2 more info: the reason i went off was because i felt as if she was trying to pull a fast one. i mean we'd just talked about this 3 days prior. rather than just asking if i'd but her child some clothes also, she waited and was like oh can you go ahead and add this stuff too. the money wasnt a big deal. my bonus from work was k. we not married so short of that at what point should both parties expect and assume that they should do for each others child as if they are their own? thing is i dont have any of my own. i did and do nice things because i want to. dont it for granted and make it a requirement just to stay around. was i wrong for going off?

My boyfrienda and I have been together for about a year and with Christmas coming up I was wtryingto figure out a thoughtful gift that he would actually use. I've already done picture frames and gift baskets so I decided on making one of those no sew fleece blankets for him with the fleece being in the print of his favorite football team. I decided to make it even more memorable I wanted to take the underside to someone and have it monogrammed with something... I just dont know what to say though!! And I'm a broke college student so it can't have more thana few words... I know I want it to say my name and his name... Maybe a heart or a date or something as well?? Can they monogram hearts? What do ya'll think I should get put- I know its personal, but I'd appreciiate ideas? Also, where is the cheapest place I could get it done- would Walmart maybe do it? Thanks! <3

I was Valentines shopping today for my sweetheart and noticed all the Valentines candy, cards, teddy bears, flowers, etc were very much overpriced. I looked down the next isle to see chocolate rabbits, baskets with goodies, Easter cards, etc at a much more reasonable price. Anyway, I bought a chocolate rabbit, a religious Easter card and a nicely wrapped Easter basket with plenty of goodies for my sweetheart. In conversation with my co-workers this morning, they say this is an insult and awful gifts for my sweetheart. I see nothing wrong with these gifts.

I am thinking about starting up my own bussiness, making homemade dog treats, different types, also making homemade dog shampoo, making gift baskets for Christmas and any other time people might want them... what do you think? Is it a good or bad idea. If you were a pet wonder and found out about it would you buy them? The dog treats are made just for dogs, not humnas, and the dog shampoo is all natural and safe for dogs to use. I studied to be a vet tech, and then worked in a vets office and learned different things that are safe for dogs. I thought I would just start out by giving them as Christmas gifts for any one I know with a dog, which is almost everybody, and then once I heard their feed back I will see if I can start my own bussiness. I thouight it would give me somehting to do while I am home with the kids, plus it would bring in some extra cash to spend on whatever.... But I am still thinking about it. I would have the product info that you would need if your pet has allergies, and I can also make certain treast if you pet does have allergies. I am also thinking about doing cat treats for cat owners. I have 1 dog, 2 cats, 2 birds, and like 11 fish. I am a pet owner and I am always looking for new things for my aniamls. And they seem to get a little spoiled along the way lol. My cat is 18 pounds. But he is on a diet.. somewhat anyways. My husbands dog is always at the groomers geting pampered so we spoil our animals to the fullest. And most of our aniamsl were rescues. We got our dog from a breeder who wanted to put him down bc he had a seizure, our cat came from a hoarder, the other was dumped at my parents house. My birds people just didn't think they could be handtamed... which they are so sweet, and they let my 2 year old hold them One las thing I wanted to add. Somebody suggested that we do somehting else that way we wouldn't get sued. But honestly no matter what you do anymore somebody will find away to get money out of you. Everybody is money hungry anymore... hints the reason I am wanting to start my own small bussiness. And anyways if nobody took a chance then we wouldn't have everything we have today.

I have 3 nephews, and 2 nieces. The oldest is 9(boy), 6(girl), 4(boy), 2(boy), 1(girl). I'm not exactly sure what to get them for christmas. I'm not loaded, actually far from it. I just want to get them something that they would enjoy. I was thinking of buying a basket and throwing a bunch of things in there, like a toy, coloring book, etc... But i'm not sure if they would like that, it seems kinda cheesy. And I don't want them fighting over what's better or whatever. So please help:) Sorry, I know I'm posting a lot of christmas questions but I'm not good at the whole gift thing so there will be more to come lol Thanks in advance. :o) The nine year old boy is very active, loves sports, video games, board games, tipical boy. But is very mature for his age. The 6yrol girl is active, girly, loves dolls, loves to help clean/cook/bake, loves her friends at school. 4yrol boy active, shy/quiet, loves cars/bikes. 2yrol boy very active, loves singing/dancing, riding his bike playing outside. 1yrol girl active, umm well she's one lol she likes to walk and play hide&go seek.:) Sorry so long thanks again.:) The nine year old boy is very active, loves sports, video games, board games, tipical boy.

Ok my baby's dr. told me that you are not suppost to use "baby" lotion anymore (like the kind that comes in the pink bottles) she said just use regular lotion that is mild or for sesitive skin nothing with fragrences or stuff like that. I have been using vaseline lotion so far, because my son has eczema on his face and knees and craddle cap on his head and eyebrows (i know it's odd, but he was born with craddle cap on his eyebrows only then is started under his hair on his head). Well my friend gave me some baby lotion as part of a gift basket and i was wondering if i should use that after his baths and the other lotion other times? Does anyone else use baby oil on there baby? what are your experiences. I recently bought Gentle Naturals disney baby baby eczema cream and that has really helped the rash on his cheeks. Should i stick with that? I am not sure what do you all recommend? Oh the "baby" lotion has that same stuff in it that is in plastic bottles they dont recommend using anymore the "bpa" stuff. At least thats how the dr. explained it only she use the technical name but i cant remember it i just it as bpa. oh and my baby is 6 weeks old (born on christas eve) ok i was just rereading my post and i accidently said i got baby lotion and was wondering if i should use it i meant i got baby oil and was wondering about that. I have never used it and was wondering about peoples experiences with it and what do you use it for?

I wanna make my boyfriend a gift basket and I have some ideas of what to get but not what to put it in. I don't want to put it in a basket because that's kinda girly and he will have no need for it. I know he likes movies, and video games and baseball, but can't think of anything to put the gift basket stuff in. Any ideas?

I want to do something very special for him, as I know he's been very stressed lately. I call him my caregiver because he's the only one that's been here for me since I found out about the cancer. He's also my best friend and he deserves something wonderful. I would like to buy him something but I just can't think of what. He's a huge Beatles fan but I'm not sure what he has already so I guess that's out. I looked on google for suggestions for caregivers but mainly all I could find were gift baskets, or jewelry for women. I would like to give him a night out even, but I live in VA and he is in NY so that's still hard for me to plan. I'm open to Any suggestions!!! Thank you.

We will be selling tickets for a raffle and two winners will each receive a gift basket. Since the winners could be anybody, we're not sure what to put in the gift baskets. We don't want girly bath items or smelly-goods in case a man wins. We don't want wines in case a child or non-drinker wins. What could we put in the baskets that anybody at any age would enjoy? Thanks!

They had no idea on sex of baby so they bought a few "generic" outfits..(lol, which totally dont fit as baby was only 6.12) I am doing her up a big laundry basket filled with all sorts of little things but I dont know what else to add....I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!!! What were some of the little things that you needed with a newborn? I so far have the following, but what else can I add? ~ Travel Bath/Change Pad ~ Hand Sanatizer (she is a serious germa-phob... :-) ~ Baby Lotion ~ Bottle Drying Rack (she is BF but will be pumping as well later) ~ Medicine Soother ~ Gripe Water ~ Baby Tylenol ~ A couple "preemie/1 month" outfits ~ Ice cube tray for freezing breastmilk ~ Face cloths I will also be putting in some mommy stuff...any sug for that as well? T/Y for the answers!!! OH YEAH.... I am also making her some homemade HUGE recieving blankets!! I made some for myself and they are awesome!! she is NOT a cook at the best of times, so yesterday when we went for baby cuddles to the hospital we brought her 2 homemade frozen lasagnas and 3 potato casseroles and some paper plates. I also brought her a bottle of Advil. There are some grat ideas here, thank you all so much!! I am going to Walmart today and will DEFINATELY be getting some of the stuff off these lists....

My husband and I have been together for almost 6 years total. Our first was a definitely unplanned pregnancy, however, we weren't unhappy. She unexpectedly passed away at 2.5 mos. of age from SIDS, and we were devestated. We didn't want another child for awhile(and at that point we didn't know if we would ever want another one), so I was on the Pill. After about a year on the Pill, my body started behaving very strangely(periods were really weird, I was getting horrible mood swings, etc.) until I would hit the sugar pills in my pack. I had had a lot of problems w/ most of the other BC pills when I was younger (as well as allergic reactions on both my and my husbands part to spermicide), so my OB suggested I go off the Pill for awhile and use condoms for birth control. About 4 mos. later, my husband and I didn't use a condom once, and I found out I was pregnant about 3 weeks later. I ended up losing this baby, and had to have a D & C, after which my OB gave me a prescription for Yaz, the so called "new and improved" version of Yasmin which is what I had been on previously. I quit this b/c I bled fairly heavily continuously until I stopped taking it(I also got no help from the doctors that were supposed to be helping me either- they all kept blowing me off, along w/ when I told the doctor what was going on, he said " Oh well, if you are still bleeding next week, give me a call"- after I told him that the next week was when my period was scheduled to restart-needless to say I also got a new OB/GYN after this). We had sex w/ no BC for a year before I got pregnant(we were actually trying at this point-I had bought ovulation test kits to make sure I was ovulating, the works). I was very cautious through my whole pregnancy, and even after I had my son, between the losses I felt I couldn't not be. I was on BC(the mini pill) from the time my son was 6 weeks old. I ran out of my BC in the middle of a move and couldn't find another pack for several weeks. My periods were still fairly irregular as I was still nursing my son. I bought several packs of condoms and told my husband that we would have to use condoms until I found and could start taking my pills again unless he was ready to have another baby soon(my son was about 18 mos. at this point, we had just started discussing maybe having another child in about another 1-2 years, so this was meant more as a "you better wear the condom" measure than anything). However, after about a month and still not finding the pills, I went and got another Rx and waited for my period to start so I could start taking them. My husband had grown tired of the condoms, and said that if I got pregnant, I got pregnant. I decided to throw caution to the wind, and figured I probably wouldn't get pregnant. I took a pregnancy test about a month later, and it was positive. So much for throwing caution to the wind.....lol. I didn't mind- it was a bit sooner than we had planned, but eh... However, my husband has been acting progressively more dodgy since about a month after I found out I was pregnant. Going off to friends and staying gone(w/o contact of any kind) for 7 or in most cases more hours, suddenly having to make trips to a random friends house(the other night he left and went to a friend of his house at 10:30pm after getting a call from his friend supposedly saying that he wanted his gift basket-this friend had also just gotten back from a trip supposedly), going out of the apt. for long periods after I go into the bedroom, etc. He has recently started up w/ saying "Right after this one is born, I'm getting a vasectomy" with conviction. I however am not so keen on this, as given the losses we have gone through, I am really not comfortable w/ the option of not being able to have more children the natural way if we would like to in the future. I have told him this, and he pretty much doesn't seem to care that this is a concern for me from what I can tell. I also am not entirely comfortable w/ the idea as I am still fairly young and I would like to still have that option available once I have fully established my career. I am also not ok with the suddenness off this. I think he has other reasons for it that he is keeping from me. Thoughts? sorry unschool that last comment was directed at Serene, not you. unschool, I had sex for a full year & didnt get pregnant when I was trying to get pregnant w/ my son. I even mentioned that in my question, as well as the fact that I realised I was taking a risk when we didn't use condom this go round. Also, after this one, I plan on being on some effective method BC for a long while(like at least 4 years) before we think about having another one, after which I will have a better paying job, more money, etc. I think another problem that I have with this is I consider it an invasive and extremely unnatural means of BC. My husband also is against IVF, and is hardcore Catholic as far as reproductive issues are concerned, so I know even if he froze his sperm, there would be no point. Given his beliefs, I don't understand his sudden vasectomy interest. I am really starting to think it would make it easier for him to cheat as he wouldn't have to worry about knocking anyone up, & that is the reason behind this sudden interest, as I have noticed several inconsistencies and lies that he has told over the last few months as well. We lost our first to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2005, and lost another at 6 weeks gestation in late 2006. It has been awhile, and we have had another child who is now almost 2 since then. So I don't think that that is what is causing his dodgy-ness as he didn't act like this when I was pregnant w/ our almost 2 year old. I'm not saying that our losses don't matter, not by a long shot. I'm just saying that we have grown and healed as much as you can w/ those kinds of things, and I don't believe it is the reason behind his dodgy behavior. We went thru couples counseling after our daughter's passing and during and after our second loss, and dealt w/ the emotions and feelings we had w/ both losses then.

Hi, I'm a 16 year old High school student. I'm helping a family of four have a Christmas this year by supplying them with gifts. In the family there's a mother, father, 14 year old son, and 10 year old daughter. I also have to put together a food basket. So far, I have the 10 year old daughter covered.

here is what i got so far i hope it will let me do the whole thing! The prairie Dog Waaaaa, waaaaa. The sounds of the baby woke me from a light sleep. I had to get up and milk the cows and share the sheep. Momma walked into the room that I was in and bounced the baby up and down. She looked at me and smiled a weak smile because she woke up too the sun was just about to rise over the wheat field. Sally and Max were still fast asleep and another hour will be woken for home school. Our little 4 bed room house was relaxing down south with the wood stove for cooking and to keep warm. The milk was cold for the wheat flakes. I went to the field to help Papa after that I met up with Jen she’s my best friend, she lives down the road from me and after she gets out from school we weave baskets together and make yarn for blankets. I put on my apron, bonnet, and my leather boots and walked out the door ready for days work. I when to Lilly Sally’s cow just for a milking and then Heather Max’s cow and made my ways to Laura my cow I pat her and milked her. Then the chickens had to be fed and eggs had to be taken away so they could lay more. Later that night there was a small whimper out side the door I put on my long robe and rushed out. I opened the old wood door as in creaked open. I looked back and forth then back and forth again. I felt a nudge on my leg and I jumped back a little then I looked down and right there was a little puppy in a basket the wind was blowing a card ageist me I picked it up and read it out loud to my self “Hello who ever maybe reading this note I could not leave my puppy out in the winds and rain this looked like a good warm home to keep her. I had to leave town for a long time please watch after her and love her like every day was her last. Thank you.” I picked up the basket and unwrapped the puppy no collar no tag with a name. It was late I cuddled the puppy and slept the night. The next day the rooster woke me up and the first thing I noticed the puppy was gone. Quietly I talked “Puppy…puppy…here puppy…puppy? I crawled on the floor whispering here puppy, puppy. Don’t think I didn't’t see momma as I was crawling I saw a long robe with pink worn out slippers I squinted hard and followed up. I saw momma looking at me like I was crazy she walked away then walked back in “Looking for this?” She said “Woof, woof!” the puppy panted hard and scared in momma’s arms I took the puppy and help her close “ha, ha, ha.” I cleared my throat grabbed the puppy and walked away. “Now what should we call you?” I asked the puppy I held it in my hands “hmmm.” I thought a little then it came to me what I should call her Country! She barked a little and waged her tail I smiled and asked if she liked that name. Sally came out side dressed in her pink dress and white apron “Meagan who is your little friend?” she said tilting her head to the side I smiled and looked at her softly said “It’s a gift from god” hello who ever maybe reading this I have decided to put my writing out in the open for people to read this is a risk im willing to take of my writing im hoping to get this done by the time im 16 oh ya btw as you are reading this im 13 and i hope i can share my writing in peace with no harm of this book property of Denna Hemmer Denna hemmer is my pen name btw lol

I don't know what to get my great-aunt. I don't want to get her any framed pictures of family as she won't remember them, or it might upset her. She has plenty of material things and doesn't really need anything. I thought about making her a gift basket full of food, but her diet is restricted. Any good ideas as to what to get her this Christmas?

I'm a 14year old and I'm gonna go get a gift for my mum in a few minutes.She doesn't know it's mother's day tomorrow(she knows it's in may,but always forgets the date).So I'm also planning on waking up early and making her breakfast in bed.The problem is,I've always given her really nice expensive gifts(my dad used to give me and my sister a lot of money for mother's day),like a designer bag,make-up,shoes etc.Now my dad is giving me 80$,and my mom really wants shoes she sees in shops when we go shopping,I know which ones they are but I don't have enough money!She LOVES to look nice but she never buys anything for herselfeven if my dad tells her if she wants to she'll be like"oh no don't waste your money,it's ok"just so my sister can have all she wants then she's always like "ooh if only I could have that"...So yeah my mom has a lot of stuff she doesn't have but would love to have.Should I get her a perfume without being sure she'l like the scent?Cheaper shoes?A gift basket and a card?Also,she often complains that she never has time for herself because my sister and I are always asking her to take us somewhere,do that,do this...So I really want her to think about HER and be happy tomorrow...

I am making a gift basket for a Christmas gift, and I am making it an "Ultimate Girls Night In" basket... I need ideas of things that I can use to put in the basket... I already have to Chick Flicks to put in there.... I just need some really good ideas for the rest... I really didn't want to just put candy and popcorn in it, I want to play more off the fact that it is for a girl, and also that's it the things you break out whenever you have just had a horrible day, or whenever you just want to hang out with your girlfriends...

My bridal party bought me a beautiful set of pots and pans which they presented to me in a gift basket. However, the gift basket did not include any of the paperwork included in the box of cookware. So... I have a couple questions. 1. My fiancée used one of the pots before we realized you need to remove a coating on the copper. Now there are some ugly rainbow-type spots on the steel part of the pans. Can this be removed? 2. After realizing his mistake and reading the warning sticker on the other pieces, I discovered that they need to soak in baking soda and warm water for 20 minutes. My question is: Is it just the copper that needs to soak or the whole pot? Also, any other helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'm not much of a baker, (I'm a great cook though!) so I'm hoping you guys will be able to help. I'm making gift baskets for friends this year, and want to include some homemade baked goods. I'm looking for recipes for treats that taste great, are easy to make (not a bazillion ingredients and complicated processes), and store and transport well (they're going into tin cans, and I have to travel with them). Desserts, cookies and candies are all welcome!

Each time I try to buy a present for a female is the most difficult shopping experience in my life. I am sick and tired of buying candles, soaps baskets, flowers, sexy lingerie, toys fragrances and all that beauty stuff they put it on to feel better about them selfs. In my opinion present should always represent something meaningful, interpersonal well though out and here comes my problem; I don’t have difficulties getting something cool for my guy friends but when it comes to woman I tend to struggle in agony. True my relational background none of my girlfriends had real interests or hobbies. Their world tend to turn around their beauty, relationship, chatting with friend, clubbing and hmm…, that’s it for what I can think of right now. I know that by now many female readers are about to choke me, but that’s how most man feel when it comes to buying you a gift. I am not trying to generalize or offend anybody, there are many beautiful qualities in woman but when it comes to buying you

I have a P.O.S. brother in law who I REALLY don't like. To avoid any further stress, I plan on getting him and his P.O.S. girlfriend/baby's mama for Christmas. I am going to get a cheap gift basket for his girlfriend but what do I get him? I don't want it to be anything nice, but not anything TOO awful. I was thinking a 10$ gift card to McDonalds or something like that, but I want other ideas. Any suggestions?

My husband has a 4 yr old back home in florida that his baby momma just approached him with three months ago. He claims he knew there was a chance he could have gotten her preg, but they broke up a month after they had sex. So he never knew of a baby. When she called him and said they had a 4 yr old son, I was excited becuz I have had a hard itme having kids, and i LOVE children. Off top she was going off on him about seeing his son. So b4 his trip there I bought the kids sum cool stuff and made like a big a5s gift basket. At the last minute he asked me to tag along. So i did, we got htere and i got a hotel room, and rented a car. I never disrespected her by showing my face. He decided to bring Jr back to memphis with us for a month. We have been home two weeks with the lil guy. Ive taught him to call me by my first name, even tho i am his step mom. She calls OUR house daliy cursing me out. Sayin don't touch her son, dont feed him I may try to poisen him becuz Im jealous that she has > < has a baby with my husband. I would never hurt that child, I love him like i love my own. What do i do? How do i go about making things better? Keep in mind she is very ghetto and I am a classy type female. What do I do? MAUREEN, i tried to treat it as tho it wasn't my problem, she won't come to me directly with the problem, She calls our house from a restricted number, or on someones 3way sho that her number won't show in the caller I.D. and as soon as I answer it she's going off in my ear. Last night Jr came to me and said that he wanted to talk to his brother so i dialed his home number and handed Jr the phone, his mom asked him to put me on the phone, as an innocent bystander, he handed me the phone and there she was going off. My husband goes off on her and has even threatened an order of retraint and court visitation but she's so ghetto it doesn't phase her!!! BTW...He came in calling me mom! I didn't tell him too, he is going on 5 and understands that I am his step mom, he is very smart. But i corrected him and just told him to call me by my name or even make up a silly nick name!

I'm 20 years old and have been dating my boyfriend for almost five years. Usually I get them each individual gifts but this year and the last I've been in college without a job. This year, times are rough so I have a very limited budget. I know I may even be getting gifts from his extended family also. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do? Would cookie baskets that I made be lame?

Every year at my school, the eighth graders get a first grade 'buddy'. For Christmas, we are supposed to give them a little gift. I'm not sure what I should get for her. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe a stuffed animal, or making her a gift basket of little Tinkerbell things :p Another thing is, her birthday is on the 22nd of December so I'll be giving her two gifts. Thanks everyone :)

Hey guys! At the last minute we found out we will be going to my sister-in-laws for Christmas. We know that are getting us something so I need a nice gift basket idea for three kids, herself and her husband. Kids ages are 13, 8, and 10. I was thinking about a candy set from walmart but Gift baskets look nicer. Does anyone know a good place to get gift baskets for under 30? Any other family gifts would be nice.

Would you buy gift baskets online for friends and family anymore? Just curious how many people still do so, and if they have ever used the company La Bella Baskets? They give you a website and commission on sales and referrals. But, not an arm and a leg to start - which is what I like about it. For .97 you can be up and running. But don't want to put my efforts into it if no interest is out there. Just relative answers please, about this subject only.

Just wondering how many people buy gift baskets anymore? I know there used to be the welcome wagon baskets - don't even know if they do that anymore? I've heard of a company that offers your own website to sell their baskets and to refer others to bus. Just wondering if anyone would actually buy the baskets online delivered straight to recipient, or if would be feasible to find referrals to join in the business? I'm not exactly sure how many people out there buy gift baskets or would enjoy recieving one? Please let me know what you think. Just wondering if there is an interest in gift baskets anymore, and if you would buy them for friends and family? Not worried about having to buy goods to go in baskets - not part of business. Just selling on commission and referrals.

Every year we try to find a different idea for presents. We have a theme each year. We've done the secret santa idea and it's just become old. We set a price limit and had everyone put there gift in a basket, we've had gift decorating contests, where everyone voted on the best one, we've played the game where you can steal the gift from the person before you... I'm running out of ideas! Anyone have one they've done successfully? We have a verrrry large family on my dads side so we need a creative way to exchange gifts. We've done the secret santa thing, picked names, had gift wrapping contests and required that all the gifts be in baskets and several other ideas, I want something really creative and original for a large extended family. Any good ideas?

I am *just* starting to freak out a little bit. It really hit me that the wedding is 3 weeks from today! I can't believe it is here already! I went shopping with my godmother today and we got a card box, guest book, cake server, petals for the flower girls' baskets; my gift for the groom, ribbon for wrapping the attendant gifts. I bought the bridesmaids gifts but he hasn't gotten groomsmen gifts yet. We haven't started the seating chart, we have to meet with: the photographer (tomorrow), the DJ, the planner at the venue, the priest. Confirm some details with the florist. Fill out place cards. Get my final dress fitting- I know how late it is cutting that one! And as much as it's hitting me now, I still cannot believe that I will be married in three week's time! How have the final weeks been for other brides who've been there? Any advice on making the most of this time and actually enjoying it?

DOOBIE- as far as me and him puttin the babies mom in an aptmnt close to us wudn't work! SHES 2 GHETTOE! I even invited her to come stay a week or two so she could see how we live, every thing is ok, she cursed me out again. My husband says its jealousy, she is stuck in the ghetto, when me and him have left the ghetto got jobs and bigger and better. So that would only add fuel onto the fire!!! lol We have caller ID and what she does is block her number or call from sumone elses threeway in hopes that Iwill pick up the phone! DEA PEPPER< back child suport already came up! As sson as she found out about meshe said she was gonna do it! LOL and it threw her becuz I told her WE'D pay it in 3 lump sums to get it out the way! So ghetto and young she was like "b1.tch I don't want your money" she 4got that me and him are married so the income is OURS! Hey mother, I know my limits being a sstep mom, but I treat him no didfferent than the child my husband and I adopted. I am not trying to take his moms place at all! If i were in here shoes, i'd be worried but I would go about int in a MUCH different way!!! DEAR malandrina, the word a5s came from anger in that sentence! I bought all this stuff to show his mom that I care for her to never let him touch it! When i say I am classy, i work a nice job, i can put on a knee knirt and knee boots with a button down and look nice, she on the other hand will throw on sum sort of booty skirt and stilletos and go to the club! BIGG DIFFERENCE! Me sayin a5s and her callin me a ugly 4 eyed, d.1ck biting ho3 is 100% classless, am i wrong?

In the invitations we thought a putting a lil note with a picture of a great gift basket full of goodies, candles, bubble bath, incense etc.. and the note will say something like if you bring a pack of diapers or wipes in addition to your gift you will recieve a raffle ticket to win the prize.....someone told us the mom to be ending up with all her gifts PLUS extra diapers and wipes....is this a good idea to you? I think it is..and it wont be a crappy gift basket but totalling over like 30 bucks to make it worth buying an extra pack of diapers. Thats a cute poem! No it will be all women...men are welcome to attend but I doubt they will come since I am inviting all women they may tag along with the wives to get food lol that's true on the brand....I may have to add that since I will not put just any kind of diapers on my babys butt lol i recommend this to any mommy about to have a shower lol......tequila....sounds like my kind of party if i wasnt pregnant lol

I am getting candy and something else for my dad and i have no clue for my mom. It has to be REALLY REALLY cheap and I want around the same money value for each (duh). Price range is about under (for both of them together) since my brother and I are splitting (i think) for a restaurant gift certificate and I only have . Candy is cheap, and my dad likes candy so that's why. SO I need help with what other thing to get for my dad and the whole thing for my mom. And like I said about dollars each. And we don't have any baskets around here so I might just throw it all into a box since i cant afford it :). I think that's it and I will add more details if I need to. All (or most) answers are appreciated. Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas. Websites can be added too.

My best friend of like 11 years is getting married next month. Her and her future husband registered at JCPenny's and Target. I looked at both registries, and picked out some really nice items, but I want to do something WAY better. I found this really beautiful basket, now I just need ideas as to what to put in it.They just bought their first house so they need new stuff for it, but I want to get them some really awesome gifts. Does anybody have any ideas as to what to do for them? here's the deal...i live in washington my friend in north carolina...i can't make it to thier wedding...this is my best friend..the first person i met when i moved to colorado...the first person who i shared my deepest secrets with...her soon to be husband is a youth pastor, so romantic gifts is something i'm not totally comfortable giving...i've never met him before...as for not doing the registry...i get that it takes a lot of time and effort for this...a gift off a registry is just generic...shouldn't a wedding gift be something thoughtful and planned out? i liked the idea about finding nice albums and getting some disposable cameras...i think a gift basket is in order, and i'll def try and find things on the registry that they want...any other ideas that don't included the items on the registry?

I recently made my first ever baby registry and it had to be one of the most confusing things I have ever done, some things just did not seem essential!! Here's a few questions for experienced moms who have gone through this and know what you NEED and what is just luxury, and a few questions in between :) THERES A LOT!! haha 1. When it comes to the baby bottle sterilizer, if you get a certain brand of sterilizer will only bottles of THAT BRAND fit in the sterilizer or can you buy different brands? 2. What are the essentials of crib bedding? I know the obvious cute blanket set, but what are all these sheet protectors, etc? 3. Do you really need cloth diapers? 4. Is it easier to just request toiletry gift basket sets or select each certain kind of shampoo/baby wash you want? 5. Do you suggest any MUST HAVES?

About 2-3 weeks ago I canned a bunch of stuff for christmas gift baskets. I filled them with the canned good (jams,pickles & spag sauce) about 2 weeks ago and put them in the closet. In the last 3 days I have noticed a really nasty smell in my room and just narrowed it down to a jar of spag. sauce that was leaking. It does have meat in it that was cooked ahead of time, then processed. Everyone said I could process it and didn't need a pressure cooker. Now I don't know if I should take the other 11 out of the baskets or what. They all look fine, but are they any good?? Will they be good 2 months from now when I give them out?? How can I tell if they are good or not??

Okay, so for part of my best friend's Christmas gift, I'm making her a basket with a bunch of little presents. Well, I have one that I love, and that's the kind I want to get her. It's a normal looking basket, but its kind of gold painted, and really pretty, but the gold isn't over done or anything. Where can I find a basket like that? I definitely would just use that one, haha, but al my lotion and crap is in it.

check this site http://nycforlebron.com/ Its sad that they're really that desperate that they are trying to donate money to get Lebron. I seriously doubt hed take a gift basket of Yankees tickets,a Ferrari,hotel suites,and a higher salary to play for the mess that is the Knicks. If he wanted to he could just buy that himself. Its even sadder for the people that acutally donate to that site. I doubt they would be able to get million anyway(the amount needed to match Cavs match offer). Pro athletes are not the people to be donating money too, they're already filthy esp. in the mist of a recession. Money should actually go to people who need. Its something thats also unlikely to happen. Its filled with arrogance as they sad "the change we want and deserve". If they deserve something they should make smart trades and draft picks to get what they deserve. What do you think of Knicks fans donating money for a cause that might not even happen?

My boyfriend is almost 18 and this is our first christmas together. We have been dating for about 8 months. He loves working out and getting buff. I'm planning on making him some type of basket with goodies in there for christmas. But so far i only have his favorite cologne. What "fitness enthusiast" items could I add that aren't extremely pricey? I was thinking along the lines of protein powders, little things he can use for his workouts or before/after them. Thankyouuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son is having surgery in two weeks and he will be down recovering for 3 days. I am trying to accumulate and prepare for that 3 days of him being on the couch. But then we have the first two weeks of summer where he can't go to the park, swim, ride his bike, etc. He can't do anything too active. He is a sports loving active boy. So this is going to be hard. Ideas of things we can do to make that two weeks of summer fun? We live in the St. Louis, MO area. We are planning to go to the zoo. But I need more things to keep him happy and his mind busy... and also my 3 year old happy. I am making a gift basket for him for when he wakes up after coming home from the surgery. Bag of new books Lego's Chicken Socks sets Fun snacks Soduko for kids Rushhour Jr. Game Doodle All Year Book (this is cute!) Then pulling out the things we don't play as much since he is so active but he likes to play when we do pull it out. Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs, Lite Bright, boardgames, play doh, Floam (love this stuff), Also going to Blockbuster to rent Wii games. The Wii games we have are active ones so not good to play (baseball, bowling, etc). So going to go rent the stationary type that I don't normally like to buy. Any more ideas???

This year my mom and I are making Christmas gift baskets for our family friends. My mom said she really want to make one for her one friend's family, but she said we aren't going to because I don't like their son. I tried explaining to her that we were friends, but then we grew apart and now I switched schools. I want to try being friends with him again, but I'm not sure if he acts the same. Its makes it even more difficult because I rumors were spread around that I liked him, but I wasn't really sure. He heard all of that so I also think that's going to make trying to talk to him and be friends kinda awkward. My brother and most of my friends still go to the school and the next time I'll see him is Tuesday. His parents are really nice to me and I really want to be able to give them their Christmas gift. Any Advice?

Scientific or otherwise? I had just been thinking of one year in my life. I won a New Year's Eve weekend package for two, an all-inclusive vacation package to Las Vegas for two, a drawing for 0, a promo from Dr Pepper for a skate board, ,500 cash from a radio station, a music gift basket (CDs, concert tickets, etc), ,000 from the lottery, and various scratch off tickets from the lottery. All in about 18 months. It was so much that friends were asking me to play the lottery for them, and I ended up giving some of the prizes away because I felt it was unfair that I had won so much. Since then, I still buy raffle tickets from kids and put my name in for drawings here and there, but the most I have won was a weekend at a water park. I'm not complaining! I am very fortunate and don't need prizes though I like to win. I am not the only one who has had winning streaks. What causes them or are they really just random? At the time of my streak, I had just graduated college and didn't have much money. I see the difference now, House. I guess I meant is it possible to draw that positive energy, make yourself luckier?

I've been with my boyfriend for two years, and we recently just got our first apartment. I'm 18 and the day after Christmas he will be 20. I have a little bit of money, but I'm only looking to spend like 100 more dollars. I've already got him an outfit, a pair of shoes (that he picked out) and a homemade gift basket full of smell goods. I have no idea what else to get him. I've heard rumors that he was getting me a ring, so I don't want to seem cheap. What else should I buy?

Yay Moms! What was the best thing anyone got you (or you just bought) for a new baby. I have friends having their first child - a baby girl - and we are throwing her a surprise shower. They basically don't have anything yet and they are not registered anywhere. I'm pretty clueless so I need some new Mom's to give me some creative ideas or what they would most want. I'm trying to keep the budget under 0. I thought about a gift basket with bottles, pacifiers, and diapers, but I'm not sure if that is too generic. Thank You!

so far: - Indian craft for Mom... it has blue/white stars strung together & hangs above a door - Avon gift basket with Strawberry & Guava body spray + body lotion + shower gel for Grandma - book (Slam by Nick Hornby) for Bro * I also participated in the Angel Tree program & bought Twilight (book), Monopoly, Sorry!, an outfit, & backpack for my child, with help from Mom & Grandma. The only thing I wasn't able to purchase from her list was Nintendo DS games, which I sadly couldn't afford. still have left: - Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple hand soap + body lotion set for Sis - toys & maybe clothes for Niece - not sure about Dad... probably an antique car model - also unsure about Grandpa... probably a Walmart gift card Hmm, I believe that's it. I plan on baking cookies & wrapping them in cute paper for those I can't afford, such as my brother-in-law, cousins, etc.

Hi. My name is Kailey. I am a stay at home military wife with no kids and I just had a miscarriage and trying to keep myself sane. I am wanting to start an in-home business & sell my items online. I want to do themed gift baskets; for example (birthday boy/girl, military wives/moms). That is really all I have for ideas so far. And I don't really know what kinds of things to put in these gift baskets, so if anyone has any ideas for any great gift baskets please let me know. Your help is very much appreciated!!!

I'll bet there are quilt makers out there, as well as those who like to put up jelly or jam, or like to make food baskets for those on their list. Practical and useful things you don't have to exchange. I think this will be the most practical of Christmases for many of us, due to the economy.

i'm 14 and i'm starting christmas shopping. i pretty much know what i'm getting all of my friends, except for a few. i just need to know like, a general thing that they would love, such as a bath and body works gift basket, or a shirt from hollister, etc. price isn't REALLY an object. just no more than a person, i'm saying. oh and i'm done with the whole homemade stuff. my friends don't really see the appreciativeness in it, and it's fine with me to buy store stuff. i LOVE shopping. THANKS!! 10 points! oh and btw, i don't want to buy things at the dollar store. at all. i don't want to be known as the cheap-o.

For Christmas, I don't know what to get my niece. I want to get her something special, but I have a lot of people to buy for. My budget for her is about (maybe more or less, we'll see). I am only 16 so I make minimum wage, so I have to work with this. My niece is 11. I was thinking of maybe giving her a huge stocking, a gift basket, or a cute purse/bag and fill it with: A good book (She likes Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, stuff like that) A DVD (She likes funny movies, Just My Luck, Uncle Buck, The Notebook, ) A CD (or movie tickets) Jewelry Hat/Scarf/gloves Lotion, hair stuff, makeup, perfume etc. slippers and fuzzy socks (she loves stuff like that) Candy Pajama pants t-shirt or hoodie (from aero, limited too, jcpenney,etc.) So what do you think? Is this a good gift? any other suggestions? What else should I put in it, or what should I eliminate? I know I won't be able to get everything in that budget but I'll find good prices and get whatever I can.

My husband's cousin and his fiancee are expecting a baby. I adore both of them and am really excited! Her shower is coming up next month and I'm going to it. So.... for the presents I'm giving, how should I address the cards? Should it be to: the mom, the mom and dad, or the mom and baby to be? And, can I sign them from both myself and my husband even though he won't be at the shower? (its women only, of course!) If its appropriate, I'd like to sign them from both of us because I've bought a TON of stuff and would feel better if it came from both of us and not just me! I made a gift basket with lots of nice baby clothes, socks, blankets, a nursing cover, and baby mirrors for their cars. I spent a lot on it! Then I also got them a Boppy with a cover, and an additional plush cover. As you can see... I've kind of been going crazy with the baby stuff for them! :) So.... What do I put for "To" and "From"??

so I like to be prepared, so I just had a quick question. I want to give my brother (who is an amazing artist) an art-like gift. like a little basket of things you'd get an artist. he likes painting, and sketching. no coloring. and if he paints, it's on a canvas. I don't know anything about art.. do they have small canvases? and small paint things? I have a budget of like NO more than 20 bucks. we are really close, so I just wanted a little something. he's never been one to get me anything, but I can't help myself but to get him something. so, where is the cheapest place that you know of to get artsy stuff? please help artists!

My new niece(in-law) is having a baby shower very soon. It is to be thrown by a family member who does not know her well, since she's new to the family, and she has decided against registering for any gifts. I'm only 23, myself, none of my friends have babies, so I just do not know what I am doing. I'm going in on a gift with my mother, BUT she is having an operation and going to be laid up during our shopping time. Basically I know she's covered with crib, bedding, changing table, traveling changing table, diaper bag, car seat, front/back baby carrier, bassinet, high chair, stroller, decorations, a baby book, and every other general "big-buy" for a baby gift. My mother and I were thinking of a "big buy" gift, but short of the obnoxious (it's how we feel and we'd rather not do it) giant-load of diapers, wipes, creams, bottles, and pacifiers, we are at a loss. Since I am in charge of the gift buying I am hoping the ages of every mother I know makes them out of touch with what new mothers WANT/need. Is there anything people don't usually think of that is necessary, or are we going with the basket of clothes and bulk items?

Everytime something happens like a birthday, a baby, something significant happens to someone in my office of around 30 people, there is at the very least a card given to the person. I see about 2-3 cards a month that i have to sign and then some kind of party every 2-3 months. well my wife had a baby at the end of may and i just had a birthday yesterday, i recieved not a dang thing, not a card, an email nothing. also with the baby thing all the females (3 of them) in the past 6 mths that were pregant got a baby shower here that we all were made to feel obligated to attend and buy a present for, and the one guy (besides myself) got a gift basket. i got NOTHING. i do not know what to do but i feel really under appreciated and unwanted. I feel so bad about this i cannot remember the last time i felt this bad, it shows in my face. O and when it is someones b-day in my deptarment there is always a cookie cake and ballons for the person. me nothing am i wrong to feel this way? i am a good worker, very friendly, always here on time, try to be helpful whereever i can. so i do not know what could cause this Yes may baby was known of i sent pictures to all emails that is pretty typical. and last year when they missed my birthday i asked why and the person who dos this stuff says it is because your bday is on weekend and she has all the bdays setup on outlook to remind her the day before. nothing else is goin on just normal days.

My sister and her fiance are getting married in August, and she's made me the Maid of Honor. I'm so excited for them, but I'm very nervous because I'm not sure what I'm expected to do... I want to do everything in my power to help her, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes either... What are the typical responsibilities of a Maid of Honor? I've also been wondering what to get them for Christmas. I want to make them a "Gift Basket" type thingy. I found a really beautiful oak magazine rack, and I already bought them a Wedding Organizer, but my "basket" idea looks... well BARE... What else should I put in the basket? I don't want to get them anything that's going to clutter up their apartment, (I was thinking about HIS/HERS towels, but it might be a little early for that.). But I don't want to get them junk either. My sister is like my best friend. What would you do? I want it to be heartfelt and meaningful, but I need to do so on a budget! THANKS!!!!

A friend that I sort of grew up with got married EIGHT months ago. The invitation was sent to my parents' home, so I didn't find out about it until a few days before. Then I forgot to send a gift...now, eight months later, lol, I'm finally getting around to it. They WERE registered at Target, but I can't find their registry anymore. I was thinking I'd just send them a Target gift card, but I'm kinda anti-gift cards because 9 times out of 10, they end up not getting used or just lost. So, my other option is to send a gift basket of some sort. I don't want to go with household items b/c they'd have already received/or bought most household things by this point. So...gift card or gift basket? And, if a gifst basket--what type??

My best friend is expecting her first child and the shower is set for the first week in February. Currently I have bought her an * EvenFlo Babygo Playyard with bassinet and Changing Station. *A Bouncer with attatched mobile *3 multi packs of EvenFlo bottles *2 single packs of Playtex bottles *A summers baby monitor *Hooded bath towels *Got MIlk baby clothing and *Nike infant hat and mitten set.... She is expecting a girl and I am curious as to whether or not anyone has any good ideas for other shower gifts, preferably something I can assemble myself (like a basket with a good theme). Yes I would consider myself a good friend to her and her husband, but them a better friend to me considering they threw my baby shower. So needless to say I know my personal opinion of the shower and the gifts from them I am by far not over doing it. ** The bouncer is a no, considering I said I have already bought one. **I am not throwing the gifts I bought into a basket. ** I asked for ideas for a basket or something of the sort that I could make for her. Maybe bath time- Baby Care Basket- Something along those lines, I just cant seem to picture the basket using creative inserts, instead of what they show in the ones online. I wanted someone with some creativity to help me think of a special touch to something.... Thanks in advance.

so, I'm a 13 year old girl. I really like to shop, but I don't want to ask for money or gift cards. I already have a cell phone, a digital camera, a dell laptop and an ipod. I'm asking for a coton de tulear dog and a marc by marc jacobs purse. I know I'm not going to get the dog though. I also dont want any make-up, clothes, books, cd's/ music or anything like room decorations... I hate getting those types of things as gifts. Does anyone have any ideas??? my grandparents like to give out 'gift baskets'. They have taken a large basket, and filled it with things that each person in the family would like. Ex: If I wanted makeupp, they would go to some makeup store such as Ulta, M.A.C. or Sephora, and buy maybe 0's of makeup , put it in the basket, and give it to us christmas eve. If you have any ideas for things that I could ask from them to put in the basket, that would be great!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! (p.s. I'm not spoiled, I just have a really really REALLY big family, and have gotten my ipod and cell phone using money I had recived as birthday gifts. So pleasde NO RUDE COMMENTS!!!!) Thanks again *alikat* I forgot to mention we already have a Wii, playstation and I have an old nintendo DS....

My family is HUGE. Living in my house alone I have 3 siblings, a mom, and a step dad. And then outside of my home (but still very close) are 2 uncles, 2 aunts, 2 grandmas (one great grandma), and 3 cousins. Last year I put together baskets for every household with little things (Cups with hot chocolate mix inside. on card I wrote "For a grandma so dear, have yourself a cup of cheer..a rice krispy treat - for someone so sweet, have yourself a special treat).. The baskets did not cost me a lot of money. I need the same sourt of thing this year. Something that I can make kinda personal .. but that isnt expensive. Any ideas would be great. I was thinking of baking cookies and muffins and breads for everyone but my mom and I do that every year anyways.

Hi, I have about ten people I need to provide gifts for this Christmas. I don't have very much money, only about two hundred dollars I can spend...and just to let you know, I'm only fourteen... :p...So, that means that I don't have a car to commute places anyways. I am just in a rut. Out of these ten people I have to get gifts for...eight of them are children. I figured I can get the littlest ones...that means about four of them...stuffed animals in my town...where I go to school. That wouldnt be a problem, but for the other remaining people, I need some gift ideas for the parents as well as the older children. Maybe a basket full of goodies, but me being only fourteen...I don't know how to cook, or make baskets all beautiful. Or maybe something littler that would meant the same thing. My point is, is that I want to give something without the cost being too much. Can *anyone* help me!?!?

Congratulations to me! This is my first babby shower and I want everything to go just right. My theme is Nascar (Jeff Gordon of course!). Anyone have any good decorating ideas? My whole house is already full of his posters and neon signs from his sponsors so I won't have to do much more, but I thought some rebel flags would be cute. I'll need to bring in some extra cash to pay for my generosity- should I have a Chinese auction, a raffle, or a 50/50 drawing? Or all three? I have a brand new George Foreman grill (free with Sam's Club credit card lol) to raffle off, and a set of Jeff Gordon snow globes. Also a set of Taz & Mrs Taz Looney Toons salt & pepper shakers that I never opened 'cause they're collectibles. Should I raffle these items individually or in a gift basket? And for the menu...I was thinking Doritos and french onion dip, and corndogs? What do they normally serve at showers- finger foods or a home-cooked meal? What kind of beer should I get? Many of my friends are overweight so probably a light beer for them, and some celery sticks to munch on. What are some good drinking games for a shower? Last of all...some of my friends are really struggling, and I know they can't afford to buy me anything from my registry. I invited them anyway, and if they win the raffle, should I make them give me back the prize? Since they're not bringing me a baby gift? Oh and invitations...did you make or buy yours? Any cute ideas for hand-made invites? Thanks everyone!

i got my SIL who isn't having a baby shower due to circumstances, (her having a baby by a man not her hubby) a laundry basket with the soft bottom lining, & put 5 onesies, 3 baby blankets, 2 bibs, 6 sippy cups, a 6 pack of spoons, 5 spill proof snack containers, 2 sleepers, 6 different containers of gerber baby food, a box of gerber rice cereal, 2 story books, 12 mini rubber ducks for the bath, a pair of squeakier mittens, 2 gerber apple juices, a cotton 3 in 1 set (it has 100 q-tips, 40 cotton balls, 40 cotton pads) would you like this, i was trying to think of things she'd need later on, not now, she is 45 and has a 12 yr old son so she's reusing everything from him, so she doesn't need any clothes or anything, we bought her a bouncer chair already, so would you like to receive this as a gift? thanks in advance for your answers. sil means sister in law for those who don't know she is going to breast feed only, and she got 3 boxes of diapers at sams' club last week and 2 boxes of wipes, she only uses huggies, and since we have a baby in diapers i can't afford to buy her name brand, our son uses sam's club brand and does fine i have a 6 month old son who came home wearing size 2 diapers so she has over 500 size 1 diapers we gave her, and she gets all our son's clothes even though she usually gives them away, she's having a boy too

I was at the Dollar Tree picking up Marshmallows and a 2 liter thing of coke for two class parties and I realized I did not get one person I wanted to a valentines gift. So I picked up a little bag that had around 10 chocolates in it. I went to cash out and they were like to the chocolate bag "Where did you find this?" I told them "In the candy section." She went to someone and asked if it was a Christmas item and came back and was like "No, we have to destroy this." I was like "...why?" thinking in my head 'if they want to destroy it why not give it away?' they said "It's after Christmas we have to send it back to the place we got it from." I was...somewhat annoyed. It's in their store, we should have a right to buy it. I was going to say "It's in your store and not stored away, we have a right to buy it. Now either sell it to me or give it to me." but I kept my mouth shut. I was real...annoyed that they kept stuff out from Christmas. They say "Sometimes things get placed around." If they KEPT THEIR STORE CLEAN it wouldn't be lost. They don't bother to clean up their store day by day. People eat while in the store, throw things around. They don't put anythingi n order. They shove it in baskets and sometimes they get misplaced and now it's...if you want something you have to dig around and find it. I had the right to buy it since it was in the shopping section and not put away, right? They don't have the right to say I can't buy it when it's in the shopping section, do they? It's not alcohol or anything.

My boss is a Chiropracter. His wife is the office manager. Normally I get them a combined gift of either a basket from peperidge farm or a gift certificate for a restaurant. She is pregnat again with her fourth child. It will probably be hard for them to get out to go to a restaurant by themselves. Is there something tastefull that I can give them thats not to expensive. There is someone else in the office. I don't know what to get him either. It needs to be something appropriate for people you work with.

,500 is the total, honeymoon included. This is my plan: PLATINUM PACKAGE 80 guests ,247.74 (tax and service included) Ballroom (5.5 hr event time + 2.5hr setup) (I have no idea why they give so much time) Access to Cocktail Area / Game Room Access to Patio & Gazebo Area / Ceremony Site Access to Bridal Suite 1 Security Officer (I am keeping him/her for personal reasons) Banquet Chairs and Round Banquet Tables Chair Cover with Sash (color of choice) Table Cover with Overlay (color of choice) Skirted Head, Cake, Gift, and Registration Table Centerpiece – Glass Candle Holder on Mirror (she is upgrading it for free!) Ceiling Drapery Décor China, Glassware, and Flatware Linen Napkins (standard selection) Professional Bussing Staff Full Service Setup and Cleanup Dinner Buffet with Menu Option A Entrée (choice of 1) Starch Side Dish (choice of 1) Vegetable Side Dish (choice of 1) Salad (choice of 1) Rolls and Croissants / Tortillas Water with Ice Tea or Fruit Punch They are also setting up the outside area for guests who smoke, and giving me a deal of 0 for a fruit tree or platter and a small chocolate fountain. The venue also comes with a pool table and tvs for entertainment while we're taking pictures since it is all indoors. Now, am I missing anything from below? We're not using a limo, please don't suggest one lol 0 dress, veil, tiara, petticoat, and undergarments 0 flowers (just six attendants total for us and then our moms, his dad, and my grandparents) 0 invitations, place cards, tags (I'm getting printing for free) candy bag favors (tulle bags with M&Ms in our colors, no print) 0 wine (3-4 bottles per table, it's not a sit down dinner) 0 cakes (friend is doing them for /slice, cutting is /person) ‘wishing’ tree (manzanita branches and tags for wishes) 0 bride/groom pampering (nails, hair, makeup and his haircut and whatnot) shoes (I'm a good shoe shopper) 0 photography (this includes 5-6 hrs, and a CD, and I think bridals and engagements as well) 5 minister (eh, I'm trying to get a friend to do this) 5 wedding party gifts (once again, small WP) bridal jewelry (found a great set at DBs) groom’s accessories (shoes, and whatnot) postage knife/cake serving set, flutes, guestbook (buying online) flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow ,500 honeymoon (not sure about this yet) We may actually have more room to save now that we're waiting a couple more weeks than planned. So does this look okay for a budget? Am I missing anything? = ,727.74 9.74 over budget! Janice are you high? 0 for a photographer is not bad? I did WORST case scenario here. Least amount saved, with the most I would pay towards each thing. I'm not saying we want to spend that much at all. It's just a figure! I'm 0 over, but we have two more weeks to save now, and we might have raises or bonuses before that time. We might only spend 0 on flowers or 0 on a photographer. It's just an estimate. I wanted to know if I left anything off? The honeymoon is big because we are going to an island. I keep hearing that I am spending too much on the reception and not enough on the honeymoon and now here is the opposite?! We are also staying in an upscale hotel in a large city the night of the wedding. Sooooo... Oh! My friend is going to DJ, they are also setting the mood lights and colors to auto so we can enjoy something without having to pay . Well some of the pricing I gave you I already had in the total. Sorry if I confused you. I've gone over it three times and I am not wrong there. I love the tips. I will definitely try to do as much myself. I am going to serve one glass per person for dinner (wine) great suggestion! I just need to find a white and red as an option maybe. Depends on the dinner I assume. Red is an aquired taste, but I enjoy it myself. As I said, this is just to get an idea. I'd love to spend less on each item. I just broke it down using my own judgement instead of percentages. They didn't work for me considering the bulk of things is already included in the package. I am going to have a small rehearsal hopefully. Probably have my family make dinner since they are dying to make dinner for the wedding, they can do this instead and I would save a lot of money have it at someone's home. Thanks again! Oh and to the answerer about the postage, I'm assuming I live in a more expensive area than you. The only other place cheaper (and decent - ie not a living room in a house or a church) was ,300 NOTHING included. Just to rent! I am not sure about attaching postage yet, but at any rate, my #'s include dates for each person and some are large families. I'm not getting personalized M&Ms, no way. The tulle bags are maybe 20 cents each. I'm not filling them to the brim either. I want to offer something edible without hassle, but without overdoing it. I hear a lot of favors get left. I never noticed favors myself. A dinner with friends is enough for me and most the people I associate with feel the same.

Hi friends! My lovely b/f and I will be celebrating our 6th month anniversary in less than two weeks. I wasn't planning on giving him anything until he implied that he would be taking me out to dinner and buying me jewelry. I'm a poor college student and running on a limited budget, but I love him and I really want to give him something special, unfortunately, I've run out of gift ideas! I was thinking maybe since we're both going to Ocean City, MD at the end of the summer, I could make him a basket full of super-cool beach stuff like movie passes to the local theater and little gift certificates to Candy Kitchen and so on. I was going to put it all in a beach sand-castle pail and give it to him at dinner, but I'm not sure what all to put in the basket. Any ideas would be appreciated. Also if you can think of anything better than my OC basket idea, I'd appreciate those thoughts too. Thanks so much, lovelies!

I'm due in May and I was just thrown a baby shower. My closest friend, who I've known since grade school, not only dropped out of planning my baby shower (my mother had to do it on her own) but gave me what could possibly be the most offensive gift! She had been meaning to give me some hand me downs from her daughters for weeks, but I was unable to make it to her place to sort through the various sizes and promised I'd stop by soon to do so. On the day of my baby shower she showed up with a plain white used laundry basket, loosely covered by a used and stained netting for a baby stroller and full of really well worn baby clothes. Wow. Well, even though I knew she bailed on helping with the shower ( I bent over backwards and paid alot for hers so that hurt), I still would've thought she would have put some time and thought into my gift. Even if it was a dollar store onesie and bibs, with at least a gift wrap or a card I would have not been so slighted. And yes, she didn't even bother to give me a card with the used laundry basket. So, is this friendship officially over? Would you call it quits? It seems like she's been taking advantage of my kindness in the past, but never have I felt like she truly didn't care. On a side note, she did act a little ashamed of her gift when it came time to open presents and I got so many nice things (and alot from my registry) but still proudly pulled one beaten up dress from the laundry basket and said "Remember this? You gave this to my *daughter*?!" Ouch, she's giving me clothes I bought for her girls back? Would you be offended? I would like to clarify that the used clothes were not the offensive issue, I was going to go through them with her weeks before the shower. It's the thought and presentation, she didn't wrap the gift or even make a card. That makes me feel like crap, she used to put effort into our friendship but it seems like she's on cruise mode now. For those who think I'm not considering her financial situation, I just have to say that she's living off of two full time incomes and I am struggling with only my husbands'. I know we're all in a hard place now, I live it everyday like most people on here. But, I still care enough to look for bargains, wrap and decorate creatively, and pair it with a heartfelt card.

My family is exchanging homemade gifts for Christmas this year. I'm really excited about the gift I've made for my daughters but I have no clue what to do for my husband. A little history... I've made him several homemade gifts in the past, but I could never tell if he really liked them or if he thought they were silly. Some of the things I've done include photo albums, a CD of our favorite songs, coupons, and a book of poetry that I wrote. I'm stumped about what to do this year because none of my previous ideas were particularly successful. He's interested in outdoor sports such as hunting and fishing, and he just bought a truck that he loves. I thought about putting together a basket of stuff for the truck but I don't know if that counts as homemade. Any suggestions?

AHHH! I have everything bought, except for a last minute gift for my boyfriend's grandmother. They invited me over Xmas eve so I want to bring a gift basket with gourmet holiday coffees & teas & chocolates (I bought the stuff... some of it anyway). Only 1/2 of the stuff is wrapped, I have soo much wrapping to do... I need to buy something dressy for Xmas eve/day... OMG. thank god I have tomorrow off, I am working xmas eve though. So what about you, anything left to wrap up (ba-dum-ching) two days before Christmas??? Haha Jim, good luck. Seriously, you're going to need it. I would reccomend you set your alarm-- get to the stores at opening and you'll likely get the best selection + no lines

For my family Christmas, we play a dice game and buy presents around , usually a little more. I need an idea for my boyfriend to bring a guy's gift. To give you an idea of the type of presents we get here are a few samples. My gift basket is for a girl and is called the "Winter Survival" gift basket. I made a no-sew fleece blanket, included a matching mug, hot chocolate packets, french vanilla snowman shaped marshmellows, tomato soup, chicken noodle soup, saltine crackers, and Reeses bells. My dad's gift this year is the "As Seen on TV" basket. He has things in their like the Aqua Globes, Slap Chop, gloves that peel potatoes, andBacon Magic. Last year he did the "Man Basket" and it had some huge steaks and potatoes, salad mix, and ranch dressing.

Between my family, my husband's family & my best friend's family (she is like a sister to me), there are several children to buy for at Christmas time. So last year, we only bought gifts for the kids and gave goody baskets to the adults. We spent a day baking cookies, making chocolate-covered pretzels, and making our own Chex mix to fill the baskets. It seemed to go over well, so we're thinking of doing the same thing this year. Money is a little tight, because we're going to Florida for a week after Christmas (to celebrate Christmas with his dad's side of the family). What do you think about this? If you knew ahead of time that your sibling wasn't going to buy anything for you for Christmas (but knew you'd still get some yummy treats), would you be upset? Would you be satisfied with something homemade, from the heart? My siblings and I are all adults, me being the youngest at 29. I just don't see the point in stressing out over buying gifts for everyone, especially when money is an issue and each year it's harder & harder to pick out the right gift for each person. I would prefer they don't buy me anything, and I've told them, yet they insist on asking me what I want. So I give up - they can buy whatever, but I'm not purchasing a gift when I want to give something more personal. But what's your opinion on this? What would you do? I'd like to hear what you think about this idea...

Last year, before I was engaged to my fiance I gave his family a big basket that was just filled with a variety of things that they all like. It was good and appropriate because I didn't know them too well. This year I have to step it up a notch.... I'm thinking about giving his 3 sisters (one teen 2 young adults) snuggies (those blankets with sleeves). I really think they would like it, and I don't think we're close enough for personal gifts. Any other ideas? Also...I honestly have no idea what to give his parents. We're also not too too close, but we're working on changing that (I live 4 hours away so its taking some time). Any ideas? Thanks!

I recently moved across the country from my family, and cannot spend Christmas with them this year. I was thinking I could get everyone individual gifts (I have 5 brothers and sisters, some of whom are married with children ages 1-15). Anyway, I thought it might be easier to buy a 'family gift' for the whole family instead, but need ideas on what to do. I can always do food baskets, but my sisters and sis in laws are great bakers and probably don't need the extra goodies...I want something that would be fun for the whole family, even the husbands. Any ideas? Thanks!

They have enough blankets(I was gonna add a fleece blanket) and I don't know what else to add. If I put in a movie, I want a comedy or a family fun one, and I'm gonna buy some good popcorn too, so a movie would work well. Any ideas about this? Thanks!!!!

I need to come up with a unique and different gift basket idea for a chinese auction at my grandson's school. It needs to be something everyone would buy tickets for. Looking to,spend in range of 5.00 or less. Maybe something with gift cards or Lottery tickets but really different.

I've decided to give my girlfriends parents a homemade gift basket for Christmas. I've already purchased a basket and plastic wrap, now I just need to fill it. So far I have a fifth of Southern Comfort, some oranges and a box of chocolates. What are some other items I can purchase and include in this gift?

If you needed a quick gift or even fast flowers at the last minute and someone told you "Hey i can give you the best gift basket and the best flowers your money can buy" would you take the offer if the price was right and if so what would you want in the basket?

I'm very low on money right now as my job isn't providing any hours. With the money that I have scrounged up, I plan on buying supplies and little things for gifts, and then making home made gifts. Some of the things I plan on making can then go into gift baskets for each person, including my sisters, parents and friends. Here's a list of what I am going to be making: -Cookies in a jar -Bath salts -Relaxation CD(burned) -A candle -Possible a bath pillow for the girls -Homemade ornaments, both dough ones and felt -Hot cocoa mugs with chocolate coated spoons and marshmellows -Home made necklace and earring for the girls Does anyone have any more suggestions, and do you think these(everyone would be receiving one of each item, along with something from the dollar store in a gift basket) ideas? Do you have any more suggestions or anything that might make this a better gift? And do you think they will like it? My sisters are between 16 and 22, and I just wasn't sure about the youngest. She has a mentality of an 8 year old, so should I do something different for her? Thanks!!

We were going to volunteer at a hospital, but they decided they didn't want to do that, which was fine with me. They decided without me that we were going to make baskets to take to the children's hospital, which another group had already decided to do. I tried to explain to them why it wouldn't work, that we would have to raise money for the baskets and gifts, find gifts appropriate for all ages and genders, and give the presents to dying kids. They told me "so, we can go door to door for the money and Megan's aunt's friend's sister owns that basket shop in town." I laughed, three 8th grade girls are not going to go door to door in our town with all the drug addicts, and we can't get free baskets from someone we've never met. Megan agreed with me, but Amy was adamant about making the baskets, because it would take less time. I tried to explain to her that it would take just as much time to raise the money, buy the gifts, put them together, and deliver them. How can I get her to listen I'm thinking about just leaving our group, but I don't want Amy mad at me, I really like her, but she's a bit bossy and controlling. I also love working with Megan, and I can't expect her to leave the group with me, Amy actually kind of scares us. She's mean, making fun of Megan all the time, and we don't want to give her another excuse to do so. We sit by her in all our classes, so we want to be on good terms with her.

Hey guys, So I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years now and tomorrow it's going to be our 4 year anniversary. Both of our budgets are really tight this year, especially because we are college students and have part time jobs. I don't even know if he's going to be getting me "something special" this year, and I truly don't mind because he's already paying for a lovely expensive dinner and movies. I have NO clue what to give him. I really don't. I have given this boy basically everything and he doesn't really need much. 3 days ago I got this crazy idea to give him a "self-care" basket. I basically went around Wal-Mart, drusgtores, etc and got him stuff for his own self personal care. I got him shaving gel, shampoo, conditoner, an awesome shaver (electronic) and some other neat stuff like after-shave lotion, a soft cleanser, face moisturizer, and deodorant. Now, my boyfriend is not really metro, let alone anything. I have to constantly be behind his back and tell him to shave, get a haircut, do this and do that. He tells me he will buy this stuff in stores but never does and it's constant battle for years now. I know that if I don't get him the stuff, he won't get it. Now my problem is, I showed my room mate and my friend the basket I'm making for him with all the stuff. I also made him an adorable card and printing out pictures and made a small collage. My friends think my gift is insulting because it means hes dirty and he needs to change. I just want him to take care of himself! I feel like crying, I feel like my gift sucks and I don't have time to get something else, I have school and work tomorrow and rushing to meet him for dinner afterwards. :(

i work at a restaurant, last year I filled a basket with post-its, pens, mints, snacks, nylons, etc. It was a very practical emergency kit. Everyone loved it. They've been using it all year. i'd like to do something again for them. There's about 5 women & 5 men (host, management) I could have the girls covered (pins, earrings, etc) but what about the guys? Any other suggestions?

I have about 4-8 friends that I need to buy presents for this Christmas. I usually do a little basket-type thing for each (last year, movie themed, the year before - homemade (bookmark and two bracelets)). This year, though, I'm lost for ideas. It's our senior year, and I want it to be good, but I have hardly any money (-15 max each) for the gifts. I want something unique - any ideas??? Thanks!

Ok, I am 14. I understand I am quite young but, I really would like to start a business. Something where I could put my creative, and imaginative personality to good use. I was thinking of making holiday related decorations. Maybe for Christmas I could make gift baskets, Christmas tree decorations. And other related items. I also thought about making jars with dry ingredients for certain kinds of cookies. I am only 14 and I don't have a lot of money to start off with but how should I go about starting out? How should I sell the items and sort of advertise them. I was thinking over Ebay or Craigslist. Maybe sell them at a flea market or something. What would be some good ideas? and what other kinds of items would you be interested in buying? Also since I am only 14 how could I prove that I am responsible and that all of this is going to good use and is legit...I was thinking about having a percentage of my earnings go towards a charity or towards a local food pantry. Also any other information that may help me? Thanks.

1st of all i know its early but i'm horrible at getting gifts. 2nd of all, ive been dating my boyfriend for 9 months now. So, do i get the parents something for christmas? If so, would this be ok? I was thinking a basket of homemade bath gel (made by me of course) because it sounds fun to make and his mom is into bath gel and making 2 "jars" of cookies where you put the flour in then choc. chip peices...because his dad loves sweets and his mom is a great cook. Would this be ok? If not, what should I get? OH yea i wont forget about the bf. Hes so hard to get gifts for...lol His parents love me, i just dont want them thinking im cheap or thoughtless with the gift

Today my brother's girlfriend (of a few months) gave me a gift-a huge basket of food/wine. I had no idea she was going to get me anything, I had nothing to give her, and I felt embarrassed. I didn't even know she would be at the holiday gathering. Have you ever gone through this and how did you deal with it? Should I get her something now?

I'm looking for items that reduce the stress in our lives either by helping us vent or simplifiing tasks. Examples: Key finders, stress balls, pocket notepads, etc. I want to buy inexpensive items for a man that would help him in his daily life (such as the key finders) and help him de-stress during the day and put it together for a gift basket. This is for my boss, so please keep it clean. I'm trying to find a site that offers tips and items...but have come up blank so far. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help.

Long story short I have worked my job several years. My "bosses" are three sisters. We have been through a lot together through the years and they have been there for me through many tough times. I consider them family and I know they feel the same about me. I have decided I am not going to get them a Christmas gift but instead a New Years gift in honor of another year. But I am having a really hard time deciding what. I want it to be special, personal, and GREAT but inexpensive. I am a single parent and doing it for three of them. I would like some store bought stuff so please help me with that. But also some GREAT dessert recipes would be great too. Somethings not expensive and not too ordinary...kind of fancy but easy and fun! All help and suggestions would be so appreciated. I really do not know what to get them...PS-The desserts would be made from the children and me and I would like small things that I can put together as a variety basket for the treats!

I know these questions get annoying, but I am really at a loss here. I have no idea what to get my uncle. His partner recently passed away and my grandmother always got him great personal Christmas gifts, but she also passed away this year. He always somehow manages to get everyone in the family wonderful, personal gifts that everyone loves, but now no one knows what to get him since we have no leads from the gifts my grandmother used to get him. Here is a little about him- he's late middle-aged, he works in a hospital, he's diabetic and doesn't drink coffee (so any sweets or coffees/gift baskets are most likely out), he doesn't drive (so anything to do with cars, driving, or a destination he'd have to drive to are out), he doesn't go out to the movies or dinner or anything (so gift cards probably aren't the best idea), he's not into anything to do with technology (not even CDs or DVDs), and he's one of those people that already has anything he's wanted. I'm sure he's not even expecting any gifts this year. He cares way more about everyone else than himself and anytime we ask him what he would like he tells us not to bother, but with all of the great gifts he gives I definitely feel like he deserves something as well. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

a few days ago my sister had a baby and called her Trisha, well, my husband who is 49 years old (and I am 40) has a hard time remembering names, so he tried to associate the baby's name with something that will help him remember it. The best he came up was the "trash", he told me so and I got hurt but decided not to make a big deal, so I didn't say anything. A few days later while shopping at Costco, I asked him to pick up a gift basket because we will be going to visit my sister on Sunday. Well, my husband said that he bought a new trash basket. I don't understand if he is doing it on purpose or it is just a coincidence, it feels like he is, but then why would he want to hurt me? What do you think? And if he is doing it on purpose why?

Every year I get these beautifully wrapped presents but when I try to wrap other people's presents...well, let's just say that I've learned that a well placed bow can hide a lot of flaws and that I need to make sure all my Christmas trees are in a corner so I can hide the back of the present. So, how do you wrap a perfect present?

don't want something extreme but nice and simple as I don't want to scare her :-) So I intend to get this :-) http://www.oldtimecandy.com/30th-birthday-gifts.htm and also perhaps buy some chocolate and then take out the chocolate wrapper with a personalized disney cartoon :-) I am trying to make the present cute. Example if I get 10 wrappers and 10 chocolates, then each chocolate wrapper I will write a personalized greeting on why I like her or why she is so great and why I respect her. Or I may even go to a store and get her name molded into the chocolate?? Of course that means I will get her few presents and put in a single basket or I use my creativity. What do you think?

So it's that time of year again! Where we all rush into the crowds and elbow our way to the perfect gift for that special someone. Well, we all have that 1 person we're not too sure of what to get. This year it's my mom. Last year I did a basket of assorted chocolates, and she loved it! But this year, she was sadly diagnosed with a condition that won't really allow her to enjoy much sweets, or most types of food. So I've decided to venture out, and expand on more ideas for this season. My only problem is, I prefer not to buy her anything that she can horde, because she already collects too many things and it all just seems to clutter her space, and make her life a little more difficult. So, I am on here hoping that YOU, can give me ideas as to what to get her for xmas? Home made, bought, whatever it is. Be creative! & Thanks for your answers in advance. :)

I did buy her a small basket and filled it with an album, 13-month calendar, gas drops, baby lotion & soap, diaper rash cream and a raddle. I didn't buy anything off her registry (except the 13 month calendar), is that ok? I'm wondering if I should buy something else, what do you think? *rattle (oops)

Do you think her parents will look at me weird? Well, her mom knows about all of the things I gave her, (I made her a gift basket of Halloween items, because that is her favorite time of year lol). But her dad is against things like that and would be upset. What would you do? Just not worry about it? lol.

My husband just got into management a couple of months ago. My husband found out that it is customary for each manager to get the other managers a present. No gift cards, baskets, etc. It has to be a real present that each manager would like. There are 5 other managers, 3 men and 2 women. We are a young couple with a baby and Christmas was going to be a stretch this year without adding extra gifts. Any ideas for presents that would be nice, but not too expensive?

She is a substitute aide who frequently comes to my class, and on birthdays and holidays she gets people gifts that cost about . She just gave me this huge basket filled with bath stuff for Christmas and I got her something really small that only cost like . I know it shouldn't, but it makes me feel awkward. On my best friend's birthday, I sewed her a pretty book bag, but we all also agreed to chip in for a gift card, which she did give us money toward...And then she personally got her ANOTHER gift card for . Like I said, it makes me feel awkward, but then again the lady is seriously drowning in debt because she overspends. Should I just ignore it or what? Ahh but she makes it other people's business when she complains about it and asks to borrow money....

WE want to have a booth starting off small with personal size travel products- not your average brands- ones not found in CVS- ie. Caswell Massey- either to be purchased individually or in gift baskets- shampoos, lotions, conditioners, mouthwash, body was etc. ( I just went away for3 days and forgot moistuizer and toothbrush!)The baskets would be very affordable and pretty-8-10 products in a basket for -12.00 - for men and women. WEwould start off with about 15 items for men and 15 for women and a mini basket with 5 items for kids. Do you think they would sell? If it worked, we'd buy more variety. we could also then sell them on consignment to real estae agents and othe business people who give gifts to clients.

My adult son no longer accepts Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ and considers himself "Jewish" although he has not formally converted. I told him he should give his very elderly grandparents a "holiday" gift they could enjoy at Christmas time because they have been very kind to him and actually sent him an enormous "chanukah" gift basket last year. He said he can't because if it arrived before the 25th it would imply that it was for Christmas. Anyway I am a bit ticked off and would appreciate advice. I don't think it is against his religion.Hence my question. My parents are no fools. They will see it as a non-Christmas gift. BTW He's not observant , so why the no gift policy? Edit: I am ticked about my parents getting jerked in the deal. Why doesn't he send them a Hanukkah gift? Edit: My son has always been generous to his g-parents.He lives far from them.I don't usually tell him what to do. Good grief.I am urging him to be kind. Some of you seem to have parental issues. You assume I usually tell him what to do. My son is a Veteran and a married man. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful answers. I will allow the question to go to a vote as I can't choose.

Me & this girl have been in a relationship for about a month now and I've done nearly everything to show here that she should love me. First of all, I seduced her knowing she was in a relationship with another man. Since then she has slept with an ex-boyfriend and her real boyfriend while sleeping with me on the side. Each of us knows this because she does have the courage to be honest.The problem is that she is inclined to be impulsive and usually regrets the decisions she makes but I'm doing my best to be with her and have bought her a dozen roses and I just bought a Bath & Body Works gift basket for her . I know she sounds like a tramp but I love her, what can I do to capture her attention? Also, her real boyfriend keeps taking her back regardless of all her faults and decisions, and so do I.

I have a few things bought but I want to make something for tomorrow. Any suggestions? I have a few things I must tell you first... I've already made a bookmark and a pillow. Can't do baking or buy anything. DO NOT SUGGEST A GIFT BASKET!!! The girl likes purple. Can't be too big of a thing. Project can't take much longer than an hour.

I started dating this guy a month ago. I already know his parents and siblings have bought me gifts (his mother has gotten me about 15 different items). I have put together two gift baskets for their family but should I get something specific for everyone?

My fiancee is really into movies, so I got him some movies he really wanted (The Guardian, Flags of Our Fathers, the Marine, Flyboys), a new motorcycle cover, all his favorite candy, and a lovely card. I put it all in a nice basket. Also, lots of lovin', of course. Good gift for a guy? He's kind of hard to buy for. He got me a beautiful pearl and diamond necklace, so he did very well! (He gave it to me yesterday, couldn't wait) Thanks for all the great answers!

I'd like to make her a gift basket for Christmas and so far I've found children's books, cook books, and books to learn Tagalog. Is there anything I can get her that's not a book?

I just dont have the time or the patience this year to wrap them myself. I have a lot of little things that I wanted to have arranged in a gift basket, and I want it to look nice. Where can I go to have someone wrap them for me? Do any department stores offer that, or hallmark maybe? Does it matter if its from that store or not?

I thought about getting her a twistie turb (a towel especially for wet hair), some shampoo and conditioner, some facial products, bath robe, and I plan on putting it into a nice basket for her for Christmas. Is this gift something a 14 year old girl would like? If not please give me some ideas. I would like to spend between -. Hi Carrie S......I thought about make up but do not know her foundation color or colors she prefers. I am not sure if her parents will allow her to wear make up or not, they won't let her get her ears peirced. They are a little strict. Irene M....I love the Cosmogirl or Seventeen magazine idea. Do girls like getting magazines?

For mothers day I wanted to give my mother-in-law some flowers and a gift basket. I made the gift basket but when I bought the flowers they were in a cheap clear plastic casing and i wanted to put it in a vase. Scrambling for time i had to think quick and since i dont ever receive flowers myself i didnt have a vase. On my mantle i have a really pretty ceramic pitcher i got as a wedding my dilemma but i did want my vase back (tacky sure but we are pretty close). Well she wasnt there so i had to leave it on her door step. She calls me a few hours later and tell me not only does she love her basket but especially loves the pitcher "i gave her" I was tongue tied. Its one of my favorite things but i feel like a brat for asking for it back. Do I: A.) suck it up it was my fault B.) we are family and nicely ask for it back???

don't want something extreme but nice and simple as I don't want to scare her :-) If you know what is nice but not extreme, I am not worried abt money but I simply don't want it expensive as I do not wish her to be scared or feel obligated. So I am getting this gift as written below and probably a self made card. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/30th-birthday-gifts.htm and also perhaps buy some chocolate and then take out the chocolate wrapper with a personalized disney cartoon :-) I am trying to make the present cute. Example if I get 10 wrappers and 10 chocolates, then each chocolate wrapper I will write a personalized greeting on why I like her or why she is so great and why I respect her. Or I may even go to a store and get her name molded into the chocolate?? Of course that means I will get her few presents and put in a single basket or I use my creativity. What do you think?

One of my best friends came over to my house and gave me cupcakes, chocolates, and a gift basket for Christmas. Now I feel horrible, because I had sworn to myself that I would get her this blonde wig for Christmas(she does acting). I don't know what to do! We're going out of town on Wednesday, and coming back Tuesday, so the earliest I can give her a gift is in about two weeks. I want to get her something really special, considering the fact I forgot to get her a present when she came to the door. I'm going to get her a blonde wig, but something else too. So my question is: What can I get her that will make up for forgetting to get her a gift? HELP

My sister in law just adopted a baby and is having a shower tonight. My other sister-in-laws and I went in on buying the stroller that she wanted. I picked up the stroller from the store and brought it home. There was no real way to wrap the stroller, so I decided to help her out by assembling the stroller for her. I thought when I get to the shower early, I would bring in the stroller, set it up by the gift table, and tie some balloons to it. We also bought a stroller toy, that I put in a gift bag with the card, that I plan on sitting in the stroller. I put all of the paperwork for the stroller, and the gift receipt in the bottom basket of the stroller. Now, I am rethinking doing this and don't want her to be offended. Her and I are very close, like real sisters, and at my baby shower, they assembled my stroller and I wasn't offended. So my question is, do you think this is tacky that I did this? I still have the box (and will let her know) in case she wants to return the stroller, and will be enclosing the gift receipt. I know it seems like a stupid worry, I just don't want to be tacky about it. Thank you.

Should American Indians have more of a say about their reservations and the illegals who feel they have their rights on them? Are they not taking the farming jobs away from the original American citizens? Yakama Nation man leads anti-immigrant efforts By MANUEL VALDES TOPPENISH, Wash. -- In the museum gift shop at the Yakama Indian reservation, Wendell Hannigan shows off a small bronze statue of a Native American woman holding a basket full of hops. Asked if there are Yakama farm workers left, the 66-year-old Yakama Nation member laughs and says, "no, no." Behind the laughs, though, is Hannigan's conviction that the large influx of illegal Latino immigrants into this reservation, about 160 miles southeast of Seattle, poses a threat to his people. His beliefs have prompted Hannigan to spearhead efforts for better supervision of undocumented workers - mostly from Mexico - on the reservation, and sponsor a state ballot initiative to impose stricter immigration rules. "It's almost like a whole group of people are overtaking the Yakama Indians, and they're doing it quite effectively," Hannigan said. "Their goal is the same as the Indian people. It's empowerment, but they're doing a more effective job, in my mind." The former tribal council member and his backers echo concerns about illegal immigration that are frequently used by anti-immigration proponents. Among many things, they say jobs are taken by Latinos and that gang violence has spiked because of the influx of immigrants. But their arguments also reflect resentment toward Latinos, who now far outnumber the Yakama, original inhabitants of the land. This wind-swept region of the state is one of the poorest. Gang violence here is common. It's also the home of one of the biggest economic engines for the state, agriculture. Hop fields and fruit orchards dot the land. The area is one of the oldest destinations for Latino immigrants in the state. The first waves came looking for work in the vast agricultural fields here decades ago. Many stayed and established a community. The 1.2 million-acre reservation was formed in 1855, after 14 tribes were banded together in a treaty signed with the United States government. The state estimates that there are about 100,000 Latino residents in Yakima County, which includes the reservation. In contrast, there are about 8,500 Native Americans in the area. Tensions between tribes and illegal immigrants have been more apparent along the U.S.-Mexican border. The Tohono O'odham tribe in Arizona, which sits on a 2.8 million square acre reservation on the border, has repeatedly asked the federal government for help securing its lands. The large reservation has been used for years as a crossing point for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. In Washington, though, the resistance from Hannigan touches on more than just illegal immigration, and his comments often blur the line between immigrants who are legal and illegal. Like many Native Americans, the Yakama were forced to speak English and lose their language, which is now nearly extinct, while Latinos have "demanded" bilingualism, Hannigan said. Intermarriage is also an issue. "It does away with our blood core. I don't think we have any full blooded Indians on the reservation. It's all mixed," said Mavis Kindness, vice chairman of the tribe's general council and another outspoken anti-immigration proponent. Adding fire to the debate is the history of this reservation. Within the reservation's boundaries there are private plots that house non-tribal members, farms, and whole cities, such as Wapato and Toppenish. It's commonly described as a "checkerboard" reservation. Hannigan sees farm worker housing projects in Wapato and Toppenish as further encroachment on their reservation, but organizers for one of the projects say the tribe has not raised concerns. How many people among the Yakama tribe share Hannigan's feelings is not known, but these cultural rifts are common enough that people inside and outside the community can speak to them. "They think they're the owners of everything here," said Juana Espinoza, a 36-year-old mother from Mexico who lives on private land in the town of Wapato, within the reservation. "They don't want anyone here, whether they'd be the whites, Asians or the Hispanic community." It's an issue of sovereignty, fragmentation and cultural identity, said Tom Colonnese, a professor in the University of Washington's American Indian Studies program. "Their dominant numbers are changing. Their concept of America is going to disappear," said Colonnese, who is part Sioux. "We're especially sensitive, we already went through this with white America, it seems there's going to be a second wave." Colonnese said he has observed similar rifts between Indians in Canada and the Asian community, as well as between other groups. "This idea that the success of one group Thanks for the link suze!

A friend of mine always has functions in her home because of her line of work. Sometimes she has catered events and sometimes she cooks or has finger foods and fruit. The problem is, whenever you invite people into her home, I think it's important to have the bathroom well stocked with hand soap, paper towel, and toilet tissue. Everytime she has an event, people are asking for these things when they use the bathroom. I have never seen hand soap or paper towels in the bathroom. Once I was there and I went to the bathroom. I had to use plain water to wash my hands and then I asked for paper towel and she didn't have any so she gave me a wash cloth (not a hand towel) that they use to bathe, to dry my hands. One year, for x-mas, I gave her a huge gift set of hand soaps that I picked out at Bath & Body works and put in a really nice basket. She forgot that I gave it to her and re-gifted it back to me!!! How can I tell her how important it is to have these necessary essentials in your home? Laine-I think it is my problem when a friend invites me to her home for an event and she serves finger foods and everyone in her home were not able to use soap to wash their hands and I am touching things in her home that everyone else has also touched. I am not being rude, I am being health conscious. BTW, she does not have small kids. She has two teenagers.

I just can't afford to spend to much money on gifts for my my family for christmas. There is Mom and Dad, it their 70's, who have everything they need or want. There is my nieces and nephews, who are in their 20's and married and own their own homes. Gift baskets seem a little impersonal, but I would would do it with a great idea. I know they are not going to skimp on me and my 15 year old daughter. I just don't want to look cheap. (or feel cheap). So give me your best craft or purchaes ideas that will be a hit at low prices. Send me anywhere, Ebay, Overstock, Dollar store, or craft store. Tell me some of your favorite all time gifts you received and loved and had a need for when you got them.

11 acres pasture & trees with a canyon located on atop a hill. Have horses, planning to build a riding arena. It is our home where we are starting a garden & tree nursery. We will be selling variety of fruit & evergreen trees, shrubs, perrenials, flowers & flower baskets. We plan to have our landscaping reminicent of an old English Cottage garden and will have fun things to do for kids like "find the golden gnome" and "how many ladybugs in the garden" pumpkin patches for Halloween & pony rides w/pictures, coffee & gift shop...Anyhow we want to make it an enchanting experience so people will come & enjoy our shopping area etc. Our names suck and are too boring, I do need a whimsical name but one people will take serious. Some names I thought of so far that arent taken: Fairie Meadow Farms Tallulah Gardens Sleepy Ridge Farms Medusa's Garden The Funny Farm "Enchanted" "Harmony" "Mystical" others are too deluted here. Do you prefer those or any other names you can think o needs to be easy to remember, say and easy to advertise. We dont want it to sound like a cemetary garden like "Eternal Gardens" or something ;o) Cool names so far!

My mom loves cooking and loves gourmet food, so for Christmas I was going to put together a gift basket of items from the Queen Creek Olive Mill located out here in Arizona (she lives in Ohio). I hear wonderful things about their regular Extra Virgin Olive Oil and also some of the flavored EVOO's particularly the Blood Orange Olive Oil, so I wanted to get her each of those. I only have the budget for about 3 different bottles and I'm not sure what to do for the third. I'd like to get her some truffle oil but is that weird to give her 3 different olive oils and no balsamic vinegars? Should I substitute one of the other olive oils with a vinegar? To all the foodies and cooks out there: which combination would you like the best? I'm adding on a few other goodies (tapenades and nuts) but it's the oils that I'm not sure what to do about. Keep in mind this is an olive mill, so they are known for their olive oil, not necessarily their balsamic vinegars, but they do go hand in hand. They also have a pomegranate balsamic that looks interesting. What do you think? Website is here: http://arizonaoliveoil.com/store/ Thanks in advance!

How can I show appreciation to my customers? I am a distributor of items to businesses in a big resort city.? How can I show my appreciation to my better customers? What can I send over to their place of business for the "BUYERS" and the other employee's to share? I was thinking of a Fruit Basket? Any idea's or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! When I say BUYERS, I mean the people who place the orders, ordering from my company. Also, I don't sell Fruit, I was just thinking about getting it from another company and sending it over to them. Should I hand deliver it myself or have it delivered by the other company? Should I place a note? Should I include business cards with the gift??

I have been with my fiance' for over 8 years (high school sweethearts) and we have always incorporated home-made gifts with bought ones. This year I put together a HUGE gift basket of golf accessories, polo shirt, and a new hat to play in this weekend on the tee-time I set up for him with his best friends (they are in on it). He will be having to drive for over an hour to meet up with everyone and I was going to make a cd for him to listen to. I want the songs to be both fun, easy to sing to as well as romantically cheesy....We are both really goofy and silly, so we like to have fun in the gifts we give. All ideas are welcome, and the one that has the best songs will be the one to get the 10 points.....!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

So... I am a very crafty person. I love to give homemade gifts for Christmas. Last year was coffee, homemade Kalua, Homemade chocolate dipped spoons, all inside homemade fabric gift bags. Everyone loved them. This year I'm doing gift baskets with homemade pickled Garlic (if you have a great recipe for that I'm open to new ones), Homemade bread, 2 flavored butters (honey butter and rum butter), homemade candy (or rice crispy treats) and i want to do one more thing. I thought about flavored olive oil but cant find a recipe and there are a lot of warnings about flavoring olive oils, they may grow bacteria and such. I dont want to make anyone sick! Then I was going to make bread and butter pickles but i think that will take too long, maybe cost too much. Unless you have an easy recipe for them??? If you have any semi-unique inexspencive ideas let me know please...

Seems like people could shred colored paper in a paper shredder & make their own grass for Easter baskets instead of buying plastic grass, then recycle the paper. I've done it for packing gifts for wrapping & shipping. (Besides, I think we used the same baskets & grass for 10 yrs when I was a kid.) What else could be done?

I plan on getting my boyfriend of two years a gift basket. I have a few ideas of what to put in there like pictures or a picture frame, a t-shirt and I am going to make some cookies or fudge or something, and of course make him a card. If you have any other ideas of what to put in the basket or a completely different idea, please help.

I'm doing a research project and I hardly use the internet so I have difficulty paraphrasing stuff that I find. If you can, please paraphrase the following 3 paragraphs for me. thanks.

My five best friends and I are dedicating a weekend to getting in the Christmas Spirit and we're all exchanging very personal gifts and we have to make them ourselves. One of my friends is making us each a "survival kit"/gift baskets filled with our favorite things Another friend is great and sewing and knitting and she's making us all into dolls. I want to do something very special and very personal too.... what should I do??

Ok as I said I am looking for Christmas present ideas for a few people. I am making a basket for my aunt and uncle who are social drinkers (and considering new years is so close to christmas, I'm making a liqour themed basket). I have bought books on bartending, bought some bottles of liqour and am considering either a tic tac toe shot glass set or shot glasses. Is there any candy (hard) that you think I could pair with this or any other accessories to top it off? My grandfather got Pajamas from me last year, but I have no idea what to get him this year.. Any tasteful suggestions? My uncle just recently found out that he and his fiancee is expecting and Im shot on what kind of gift for them, I dont want to make it something for the unborn child b/c theres plenty of time for that at the shower..LOL. I have another uncle who is single and has everything it seems, and Im not the type to get gift cards.. suggestions? Next I have a 4 yo and a 18 month old, I need stocking stuffer ideas My children are both boys.. thought maybe that would help with the stocking ideas.

well a diaper raffle is when you bring diapers to a baby shower in exchange for a chance to win a prize. so i was thinking for every item bought on my baby registry, one raffle ticket will be given for every the gift is worth. I was thinking there should be a maximum amount of tickets given to each person so people who bought big 0 gifts wont end up with 20 tickets and to round up gifts worth like gifts will be consider and as and so on. that way people are more likely to buy what i requested, have the gift receipt, and not buy multiples of the same item. the prize would probably be a gift card to the mall or a gift basket. my sister had a baby registry and no one but me and my grandmother bought from it. my sis ended up with thirty blankets. 2 playmats, 2 carriers, lots of preemie clothes (the baby was born 8 lbs) and no receipts. would you consider doing something like this yourself? are you most likely to play? anything you like to add or suggest i should not do in the game?

My brothers birthday is on Dec. 23rd. I have no idea what to get him at all and totally forgot until just recently. He will be turning 26 this year. He is into music. He is in a bluegrass band and plays the banjo and also knows how to play the guitar(acoustic and electric). He lives a river so he is able to do some fishing. Besides for playing the guitar and banjo, he is very musically talented and can sing very well. I am totally lost on what to get him and since I dont know what kind of guitar strings and such he uses, those are out of the question. Please any ideas would be nice. Nothing rude or dirty please. Oh, he drinks a lot of coffee but I already got him a coffee gift basket for Christmas so nothing like that either.

My mom and I were invited to easter lunch by my boyfriend's mom. The dinner is nothing formal, and our parents have met once, but Im just not sure if im supposed to bring a gift for his mom or maybe some food or what. My boyfriend also told me that his mom bought me an easter basket, so I dunno if that makes a difference. And if I am supposed to get her a gift, how much should i spend and on what? Anythings helpful. Thanks. -Tina

My husband came home with a box from the Home Depot parking lot, filled with the following: 1. a 24k gold plated swan planter 2. colorful fruit dessert plate and matching serving plate 3. simple white plate with floral design 4. two small wood and metal baskets for unknown purpose He intends to sell the items at our future garage sale. It's like a Golden Girl came through a time portal and left a 1980s time capsule. Please let me know if you have ever found something.....unusual. Thank you to all who answer. If you lost any of the above items, please let me know. :)

But since business is not always good i wanted to do parties, i was at a baby shower and brought some of my baskets and i raffled it off to the guess that came in 1.00 a ticket or 6 for 5 and the person giving the party bought a basket she raffled off n the money she got went to mom.

I am real creative, i just needed to come up with a discounted good price for what ever i offer. any ideas any one? i was thinking of coming up with some game and maybe bring gifts for prizes. But how u put all that in the price. NEED HELP to advertise and market.

My friend's daughter passed away and I'd like to do something in recognition of her. I considered flowers, but was told by a friend that in her experience as the grieving family member that you get many of those and that many were redonated or thrown out. What would be another good idea to just show I care? I am considering a nice fruit basket, but are there any other creative ideas? I had the suggestion of a monetary donation to the family, but I'm not sure my friend would be comfortable with that.

I am trying to get a jump-start on buying my christmas gifts for everyone, but I'm having issues on what to get people. I don't have a tight budget, but I cannot spend over like 0 for everyone's combined. I'll describe as much what each one likes...Here's a list of the people I need to buy for. My Mom and Dad: I wanted to get a joint gift, like maybe a gift basket. I was going to get them a gift certificate for the movie theater and a restaurant for like a date night, but I also wanted to include a couple of small things in there with them. My dad is an avid motorcycle and football fan. My mom is into candles, orderliness, a lot of tv shows, but doesnt necessarily have anything that she's REALLY into. Both of them aren't too fond of technology. They are pretty tech-illiterate. Maybe help me find a couple extra little things to put in their basket? My sister: She's really into photography and her friends. She runs cross-country and is pretty sportsy...She likes partying with booze a little too much (shes 22). But shes not really that into movies or televsion or any kind of games. My Boyfriend/Fiance(22): He is really into video games, especially guitar hero and rockband, but those are way too expensive for me to buy right now. Loves Metallica, playing guitar, and the whole motorcycle/biker thing. He's a die-hard football fan, and enjoys movies a lot. He also LOVES sweets and McDonald's. lol. My best-friend/roommate(19):She is very into her video and computer games, such as SPORE and WOW. She also LOVES movies, the only thing I dont really know is what movies she doesnt have because she has soooooo many. She also has 4 cats, and loves them to death. She has mentioned wanting a new queen size bed set, but i cannot be buying a really expensive one, and Im not sure of where to buy one that stays in my budget. Her boyfriend/my other roommate(30): From what I can tell, he really likes his alcohol. He is also a Cowboys fan, but unlike my boyfriend, does care about other things. He isn't so much into the games, but he does like his movies. Him and my bff are always saying how they never have time for going anywhere or doing anything because they have no car and do everything they need to do while staying in this small town. My nephew(2 1/2): He's your typical little boy. He likes his toys, but he seems to have EVERYTHING! He has a lot of clothes and shoes, too. He likes Elmo, the backyardigans, finding nemo, etc. But I just do not know what new, cool things are out there for little toddlers right now. My sister and bro-in-law: They are just moving into a new house... I am think of maybe getting them something for their new home ( kind of like a housewarming gift but im not sure what to get). Or I could also just get them a gift basket. But I dont know what to include in it except...They love movies. But they aren't too fond of games or any sport in particular. My bro-in-law is really into salt water fish and even has a 50 gallon aquarium.... My grandmother(67): She is your typical gram. I do not know what she would like to have at all. She doesnt really watch movieslone since she is a...She has a dog, and she only plays pogo. I dont ever know what to get her! My fiance's family: I was thinking a gift basket for all of them, combined. But I do not know what I would include in it. Ideas??? If its too long, I definitely understand. Maybe try to help me on ONE person, if not all??? Thanks. =)

My Christmas gift to my coworkers (women) is a gift basket with candles and lotions for a relaxing bath type thing. (BUDGET!) I want to also make a mixed CD with relaxing instrumental type music to go along with it. What are some specific songs that might make up a good relaxation soundtrack? Yeah, thanks a lot. Why do people even bother answering if they don't have an answer. This has nothing to do with their individual musical preferences. I specifically said examples of relaxing instrumental songs. So obviously my friends want music that is relaxing and instrumental. I would appreciate "real" answers and not petty attempts for a measly 1 point.

I bought my best friend a shirt and some jewelry. I bought her parents a coffee gift basket. Now comes the hard part: buying a christmas present for her siblings...all 6 of them, without going overboard. Ron and Kiley are about 4(girl) & 3(girl), Molly(girl) is about 6, Walker(boy) is about 8, Jay(boy) is like 13, and Bailey is(a girl) 16. What could I buy (I'm just going to Wal-Mart for this) for each of them that they all would like, without spending over , or does Wal-Mart have any in-store gift baskets that would satisfy such a need? Thanks a million in advance and I hope you guys don't have any such complications while Christmas shopping! God Bless, Sameeh CORRECTION! RON IS A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY!

So my 85 year old grandma in law has everything she could ever want/need. In the past I've given her candle sticks, picture frames, gift baskets of tea and things like that. I am TOTALLY out of ideas. Same question for my 90 year old grandfather(not in law). I'm very frustrated and have given up on thinking. Any ideas please???? No perfumes or soaps, or colognes-its been done. Thanks!

I used to self medicate this with DXM, and have given it up long ago due to the inevitable dead-end-road I was heading for. I must say, I have a decent life. I have a college degree, a great paying job, and a wife and step son that are the greatest gifts of all. My wife tells me that I have "changed", and though I was skeptical at first, I have noticed that I become extremely introverted at home. I have such a short attention span when we're together...eyes darting, mind wandering, unable to hold conversations to hardly any degree, easily irritated...all of this to the extent of feeling physically exhausted and falling asleep/passing out. My happiness in life has all but disappeared, most notably with my new job. It's a job right down my lane, and pays more than I've ever earned, with basically no supervision. I often wonder if I am addicted to chaos...my favorite jobs were the worst paying and least rewarding...I used to dedicate about 60 hours per week to an insurance company for 0 per week...now 45 hours per week gets me 00. However, the happiest time in the recent years has been when I was fired from a job, received unemployment, and stayed home (with my wife) for a couple months. This, of course, is not a permanent way of life, but I'm just trying to see if anyone has insight into my fruit basket of a life. Good point...you know, that's another characteristic; it's when I've budgeted incorrectly and have 5 dollars to last until the end of the month; or the wheel flies off the car and I've got to figure out how to stop safely and get through a tough and potentially fatal situation...I reel in life at those points. I did the budget for this month, and I've got 00 in excess...I always thought that's the situation that would bring peace and happiness, but I miss having to piece together my pantry of mismatched groceries for meals that would impress my wife (though I swear she was just being nice with the ketchup and brown sugar pork chops); or saving up my tips from working at the coffee house to do laundry. It's like I've switched off in the face of convenience and wealth I never had before, and I miss utilizing the skills I acquired in my struggles that I feel will soon succumb to atrophy.

Okay, so my best bud's 13th birthday was today. I called about an hour ago and wished her happy birthday! Well, she moved two years ago away from my school so I can't see her unless we invite each other to our houses. So, until today, I haven't talked to her since July. I feel horrible to not talking to her in such a wide gap but, that's all that I was able to do. Well, anyways, I wanted to invite her over because she seemed a little down and sort of angry at me. I'm not quite for sure. I was kind of being pissy and moody the last time she saw me and I was around some of my older friends. They didn't exactly help either. But, yeah, I was thinking about inviting her over next week or the week after for a sleepover. The last time she was here, she wanted to watch "Hellboy" but I didn't and she tried i encourage me but I didn't watch it anyways. I feel horrible for doing this to her and since the new year is coming up, I wanted to tell her and promise her that I WILL be a way better friend. So I was going to ask her if she wanted to sleepover next weekend. I only know the one thing we can do: watch Hellboy. I'm not going to be sassy and rude to her like i was before so i'll ask her to bring Hellboy and we can watch it. Plus, I was thinking about getting her a week-late birthday present. But i'm not sure what I should get her! This is when you guys come in. She loves Yu-Gi-Oh (sp?) and Naruto. All that anime and manga stuff. (ha! my fave is Fruits Basket!! x] ) She's more towards the tomboy kind of girl so she loves dirt biking stuff. She's a got a zune MP3 player so maybe a gift card? I'm sorry if that's not right. I've got an iPod Touch so i'm not quite as familiar about that stuff. She likes to listen to country music too. So do you have any ideas as to what i should get her for as a birthday present? And what to do for my future sleepover? (Oh, and a Christmas present!) Thanks guys! (be serious too!) Cheers! x] Oh and a little xtra information, we first met the first day of first grade. We're both now in 7th grade so we've known each other for a while. Oh, and to add to what she likes, she absolutely lOOOOoOoOoooooOooves cats! x] I can't give her a kitten or anything. she's already got one and her mom's not going to let her. so no actual real animals. Awwww thanks!!! That's a great/fantastic idea for the picture thing! I've got a few pictures of of us when we were like 8! Thanks for that idea! Greatly apperciated! xD >o< ^.^

My in-laws are very hard to buy for at Christmas time. They are doing a major reno to their home this coming summer and plan to live out of a holiday trailer for a few months. My husband had a good idea to give them a basket filled with useful items for the "homeless" So far we have purchased a grilling/BBQ cookbook. We need some other neat gift ideas to include. They don't have to be funny etc, just useful if you have been in this situation. I thought we would also get them a gift card to their favorite restaurant as well as include a couple fake gift cards to come have supper here with us. Any ideas would be appreciated!

the amount is 10 dollars and i have no idea what to get. i have some ideas but all of them are over 10 dollars by a few bucks. anyone have any ideas what to buy and is it okay to go a little over? oh and what is a white elephant gift? is it supposed to be a joke or can it be serious? i was thinking of a couple scratch tickets and a 10 dollar gift card to blockbuster and maybe some popcorn in a gift basket, so it will run me about 15 instead of ten.

Hi, I am trying to think of a great christmas present to give to my firends, who are teens. and i finally thougt of just putting together cute little baskets of things they like or things that remind me of them and just things they wanted for xmas. (for example: a dvd, body lotion, makeup, a decorated scented candle, and quotes/scripture readings). I want to put in inspirational scripture readings and quotes, but i dont really know any life changing inspirational quotes/scripture readings. i need something that makes you realize who you are as a person, how fortunate you are, why you should keep moving and never quit, something about God being there always, and just altogether inspirational quotes and such. can you please help me? (if you put a scripture reading please put the verses/chapters and where i can find it!) :) thanks soooo much! -Liilli <3 p.s. also, please tell me your opinion on my gift idea and if i should add or take away anything. thanks a bunch!

Hey there girlies :o) Basically, my sister is 32 years old & having her first baby (it's a girl). We're having a baby shower for her in November and the baby is due in January. I already have a good idea of what I'm going to buy her. She hasn't made any registries or anything yet, but I'm going to buy a big pink basket and fill it with a lot of newborn and clothes up to a year old. My sister isn't very girly and doesn't like shopping, so I figured I would buy as many clothes as my budget allows. I also plan to buy her something off of her registry whenever that will be made. Anyways, do you have any ideas of what I should put in the basket other then clothes? What are some things you did for an expecting mother or as a mother already what were things you would NEVER buy but would love to have as a gift? thanks so much! I appreciate it.

My dad is a 42 year old man, who before Christmas will be turning 43. my dad isn't really a tie and suit kinda guy. hes a mechanic. mainly the past Christmases my mom would buy his gift and put my name on it. (things like boxers, sweatpants, etc.). So i have no clue what to get him, Ive gotten him cologne but he doesn't use it. so i need ideas for him. and my mom. shes a very business person. i got her a necklace when i went to Florida, but i need more. she wants a suit but i cant find her one, she wants a pin stripe one. but they don't have them in her size. shes 44 yrs old so i need ideas on her. and lastly my brother...... well.. he likes construction and art. everyone gets him legos and lincon logs, but he looses them, ive made him an entire art gift basket, about 100 gel pens, 200 pencils and crayons, and 60 markers. and 250 sheets of sketch paper, he cant find any of it. id get him clothes, but hes hard to fit without him being there, and he doesn't like my style for him. so i could use ideas on him too. THANKS SO MUCH.! My brother is 10

My favorite niece will have her baptism in two weeks, and her brother assigned to take care of the party favors. Can you guys give me ideas that I can make on my own? Or name of the store where I can buy unique baptismal favors? I am also considering edible favors, gift baskets.. I don't know, i can't decide on this thing, so if you can bombard me with your creative ideas, then it will be really excellent! thanks guys!

My Aunt is in her mid 60's and her new husband in his 80's, I really love her and always try to get her something good for x-mas. I'm totally out of ideas this x-mas though. I mean, she has plenty of nice things, a nice home, and well everything you acquire in life. I felt so bad because last year I just sent her a gift basket of gourmet snacks. It was so impersonal. I don't want to do that again this year. Any ideas? Thanks! And nothing that screams "you are old" like magnifying glasses and remotes with large buttons. There people are healthier than I, and I'm 27. They get around just fine, and do just fine. They live on the other side of the country. We had a great visit this summer, but we can only get out to see them once a year.

We are preparing Holiday Gift and Food Baskets for needy families with children that have a variety of special needs (autism, down syndrome cerebral palsy, tramatic brain injuries) we are looking for a catchy name for our baskets. Because we do this in conjunction with a state school special needs program we can not use the words Blessing or Christmas.

I'm considering starting an at home business, most likely gift baskets and yes I know there's lots of competition and all that. But even before that I'm wondering if it's even worth it. I've found several websites with wholesale pricing, varying from cheap inexpensive items to brand name and gourment items. most request your federal tax id# before they will show you their wholesale pricing list though. So far I'm looking at federal tax info, state tax info, state info for starting an at home business, looking into website domains and hosting, account software, gift basket ideas and possible clients, etc and that's all before I can even buy anything. I was thinking of possibly making say a dozen various baskets to sell online thru possible an ebay store or send out letters to a couple dozen potential clients to see if their is any interest. I just don't want to go thru all the federal and state tax issues and forms if it won't work out any suggestions or ideas?

I'm thinking I might make him a basket with movie gift cards and candy and the movie we saw on our first date (Iron Man aha). And then put it all in one of those tubs that you can buy at Blockbuster and stuff. Is that a good idea, or is it too corny? Any other suggestions?

For the second year, my family and close family friends will be doing a yankee swap on Christmas Eve. Last year I made pepperment bark candy and it was a great hit, but I want to do something different this year. The gift has to be unisex because my whole family plays it. Something simple that's not too time consuming would be great, and I don't have a big budget being a college student. Just looking for some creative ideas (beyond themed gift baskets or something).

Do you plan to buy on line or are you going to hit the stores early for the best bargains. As for me i am tightening my belt and giving a few gift baskets, and mailing out a few Christmas cards, to the people that actually bother to send me one every year.

The name of the tea, as best as I can remember, is Joy! It is a Christmas tea. I got a bag of it in a gift basket that I had won at an auction and gave it to my daughter-in-law for Christmas last year and she loved it.

I find that the guys in this section are knowledgeable and great for helping me find gifts so heres a new one: For christmas I always put together some kind of gift basket/box of small gifts for my fiance. This year I want to get him a hunting/fishing one. I am going to get him a subscription to Deer and Deer Hunting magazine (I heard that was one of the best) but I dont know what other smaller, yet not high priced things to put into that basket. He likes realtree and white tail hunting. I was thinking of getting him nice hunting gloves but dont know what to look for? A gift card isn't really the best idea, you would have to know him to get why haha. Oh, and I have a Cabelas 40 mins from me so I will most likely be heading there for most of the gifts.

Every year everyone gives and gets little baked goodies from coworkers and neighbors. I decided this year to make my own little baked gifts. I have a few recipes in mind but I would just like to know what other people put in theirs. I am allergic to all kinds of nuts so please suggest recipes with out them. I would really like some recipes that are colorful and seasonal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

kinda long but not really! I have a great friend and we call each other sister and we only get to see each other once a year and that is over the summer well we always give each other birthday/christmas girfts then so we don't have to pay shipping fees. Last year she went above and beyond and I didn't and I felt bad. she said she was going to do the same this year and I don't want to be over shawdowed. I have one thing that she wanted but instead of getting like 14 packages I thought I would just make a little gift basket instead how do I find things to put in it to make it look pretty! I have a basket, tissue paper, and other stuff but I need ideas on the gifts inside it cause I am broke! Please help me! Wow I love that idea Corazon :)

My family does the whole "drawing from a basket" to pick a name of who you choose to get a Christmas present for. Last year, we decided instead of getting each other things, we would give to a charity of that person's choosing, which makes my mind draw a blank when it comes to creative ways to present that gift to the person. One gift we are giving is for Habitat for Humanity and the other is for a radio station the person used to volunteer at. Anybody have any creative ways to wrap/present these gifts to these people that doesn't cost EXTRA money after the donation?? Thanks!

Only 10 days till christmas and I'm stumped. Its not an emergency but I could use some help. 1. She is 13. And a tomboy, with a great arm for football, so no cutesy stuff. 2. I have to spend. 3.No gift baskets. Gift baskets are cheap. 4. No makeup or clothes 5. I also live in Hawaii so I'm limited on places to buy. So no Target, or Trader Joes, etc.

I want to get a gift for my parents this year, but I don't have enough money to give them separate gifts. The budget would really have to be no more than . I was thinking of making something, but I don't know what to make. If I could buy some supplies with that much money and make something, then that would be great. However, I don't know where to start. They're in their mid-50's, but they're definitely modern. They both like sports and books. If anyone has some ideas that would be great.. such as supplies to make something, item ideas for a gift basket, etc.

I am single and do not have any children of my own. I have a six year old nephew and a 7 year old niece who I love dearly. Since they were born, I usually was pretty good to them during the Christmas season by buying more gifts than I should. My nephew seems very appreciative, but it seems like my niece is becoming spoiled. My sister was telling my niece that this is going to be a hard year for Santa due to the economy. My niece told her that she did not care because I always buy her lots of gifts anyway. Most of the adults in my family thought it was funny and cute, but I found that comment very hurtful. Am I over-reacting? Shouldn't they teach her that she is not being grateful? In addition, I think my niece has made inappropriate comments on other holidays also. For example, during her birthday, she told her mom that it looks like she did not get that much. She got several larger more costly items items like a dvd and tv. During Easter, she told me, you just bought me two toys? I didn't give baskets because they get so many from other people and they have enought candy. Also, I really don't go all out for other occasions like I do on Christmas. It is hard financially to do that all year long. And, I don't know, I just choose to buy more at Christmas than other holidays. That should be my choice. I just was wondering if I could get some comments and feedback from actual parents to see if I am letting those comments bother me too much and if they would let their kids say things like that. I'm beginning to think I should just give her one toy and that is it. As she gets older, she is going to thing she can get anything she wants.

For christmas, i want to get my sister a gift basket full of things that she likes. I have dollars to spend on the contents because I already bought the basket and cellophane. She isn't into makeup really. What are some things I could put inside?

Originally my fiancé and I decided to have a very small wedding party. However we have recently decided to include my brothers along with their wives (my sister-in-laws) with whom I get along with well. Here is my dilemma, originally we were just going to have his brother, who is going to be his best man, this brother is unmarried. Now that we have decided to expand the wedding party we would have to include his other brother who is married with two sons, both of which we are including in the wedding. The problem here is, is that my fiancés sister-in-law (wife of the brother we want to include) has been acting really strange since I got engaged 10 months ago. She automatically assumed I was putting her in my wedding party when I hadn’t even decided when the wedding was going to be. I didn’t say yes and I didn’t say no. She asked my fiancé a couple of times what adults were going to be in the wedding and finally after a couple of times of asking my fiancé told her we are keeping it small. She then told him that she thought she was going to be in a wedding…?? How can she assume this when she never picks up the phone or returns my call? I call her on holidays to wish her a Happy Mother’s day, Happy New Year and just to say hi and see how the kids are yet she doesn’t answer the phone or return my calls. I am actively involved in my fiancés nephew’s lives we take them out, buy them gifts and visit them on their birthdays and come and bring them Easter baskets etc. After I called her this Mother’s Day which happened to be her birthday I decided that I would no longer go out of my way, I tend to like to buy gifts for people and just love giving but I have had enough. Now here is another issue she asked me 3 years ago to be the Godmother to their son who is our ring bearer, I was honored and surprised ( I have never been asked to be a god mom) when she choose me, some say that it was because she knows I am well off but for whatever reason I accepted and do care for my godson although it is extremely hard to have a relationship with him when I have to do the chasing. Usually my fiancé will pick up his nephews (including our godson) and we spend time with them, take them to the park, arcade etc. My fiancé and I have no children but we enjoy spending time with his nephews (age 3 and 10). I don’t know what to do, I really , really don’t want to include her but then again I don’t want to cause friction, like I said, the party has expanded but I am happy with including my brothers and their wives. My fiancé also has one sister that is very close with the sister-in-law and I know the right thing to do would be to include her as it is his sister but I am just so conflicted right now. Any words of advice would be great. Thank you so much

So my family is not exchanging gifts with everyone this year. Instead, we are all just buying one gift and then we draw numbers and pick which gift we want. Since there is alot of different personalities and likes/dislikes I need a creative idea that anyone would enjoy. Like a gift basket or something. Any ideas???

Every year for Christmas, my boss has me make 22-25 very stuffed baskets for other architectural and engineering firms that we collaborate with. No expense is spared and they are quite nice. This year, two of the firms receptionists sent us a quick email saying something like "Hi, we at (insert firm name) want to thank you for the basket." Is it just me, or does that just seem kind of rude..to thank someone for a big gift by email? Would it be too hard for them to just send a real thank-you card, even a small one? Maybe I am making a big deal about nothing..but it seems bad etiquette. This isn't just "Oh hey, thanks for setting up that meeting.."

Any ideas would help. Thanks

We spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for decorations, costumes, lavish foods and frivolous gifts. Think about all the money we spend on our holidays. Starting with New Years, Valentines and St Patrick Day. Why do we buy chocolate Easter bunnies, color Easter eggs and Easter baskets full of candy and toys. What does this has to do with the ressurection of Jesus? Mothers Day, Fathers Day, 4th of July and Labor Day is spent buying enormous amount of food to BBQ or going out to restaurants to gorge ourselves with food. By the time we get to October, we go into a frenzy and rent or buy elaborate costumes, decorate our homes with scary decoration and give out unhealthy candy to little children. We gorge ourselves again on Thanksgiving and when Christmas arrive, we really go crazy and go into debt for the rest of next year to pay for all the decorations, Christmas tree, food and unwanted gifts we gave out on Christmas.

...I want it to be the best gift she gets so what should I get her? She is having a boy, yeah! Ok so I bought a wicker laundry basket with a yellow lining and the matching set of 3 of those square ones (you know to put little stuff in) and I also bought her a jumbo box of pampers, a jumbo box of wipes and 2 tubs to hold them in, this package of stuff for the babies health; nose syringe, nail clippers’, brush set, thermometer ( pacifier and ear) and medicine dropper, a bath set; shampoo, baby wash, lotion, a bath tub, towels and wash clothes and the cutest robe and slipper set, a couple blankets and a crib toy. I know she does not need clothes or nursery items can you please suggest anything that she might need that someone won’t get her because I am clueless? xovenusxo, ok I checked that DVD out and did you know it only costs 59.99 and the shipping is 9.95 lol…I have never paid that much for a DVD in my life, lol! The DVD is not available yet but it will be November 27 and I can pre order it now. That’s a really good idea especially sense this is her first baby! Thank you!! And also I would like to get her one of those old fashion bassinets, the wood ones that are close to the floor and rock. I know they sell them but do you think it’s a sensible gift, or should I stick to the fancy ones with vibration and music?

It's for my best friend. I'm getting her a gift, idk what yet, probably some jewelry, and then I'm thinking about making her a Christmas basket. What are some things i could put in it? Or decorate it with? I'm going to put in this cute hot chocolate mix, it has marshmellows, and chocolate chips and then the mix itself, (its adorable! :) ) and other than that, I have no idea what to put in it. I know I'll put some candy in it, but I dont want to whole basket based on food. She's not too big on sweets, or chocolate. (Lactose intolerant, it makes her sick) So what are some things I could put in it? Or what should I put in it? Just a regular basket with cute ribbons? Thanks! :) We are 15 if that helps. No wine or anything, haha, we're 15. I'm pretty sure my mom wouldn't go for that one :P

okay, so this is mine and my boyfriend's second christmas together. last christmas we made personalized converse for each other and also exchanged a few gifts. this year, we're doing the same shoe thing but are making a budget of dollars. i might go over and spend about though, cuz that's just how i am. so, i was wondering, what is a good gift idea for a guy? i wanna get him more than one thing. like a basket with goodies or whatever. i'm the kinda person who likes to personalize everything with a special picture and stuff, but this year i'm just blank. and i have to have the gift by this sunday because he will be leaving out of town with his family. =( any ideas. by the way. he's into video games (idk which ones) funny stuff football and me.... i'm joking. ok. help please and thank you! haha. i made him a dvd with videos and pictures of us from our past year a few months ago on our anniversary. i dont think he wants to sit through another two hours of videos and pictures of us. i'm saving that for our next anniversary =) thhanks though.

Okay, so it might be a little corny, but I give my boyfriend an Easter basket every year and fill his stocking at Christmas. I usually try to do a little something on other smaller holidays, as well. I'm really curious as to whether or not other guys get these types of gifts from their girlfriends/wives. If so, how do you feel about it? If not, would you like it? Do you do it for them? I guess I'm mainly wondering because I don't receive anything from my boyfriend in return and I don't expect it from him. I do it because I like to. I just sometimes wonder if he even appreciates it and whether I should continue to do it. Also, girls, do you do this for your guy or does he do it for you? What do you think?

My friend is having a baby and ive got some clothes (4 shirts, a tracksuit set, mittens, shoes, leggings, bath frame support, hooded bath towel and washcloth for her little girl. Any suggestions on what else to get for the baby? Something inexpensive as i have already spent quite a lot of money. I also wanted to get a gift for mummy. I know she is feeling quite overwhelmed and left out as every conversation she has with anyone is just about the baby etc! I thought it would be nice if i got something for her to let her know we havent forgotten about her! I was thinking of making a gift basket and putting a few items into it for her but i am not a mummy so i have absolutely no idea what to put in it. HELP! So mummies to be and new mummies.. what would you want for yourself? & what else would be a great help for baby?

I am making baskets for everyone for Christmas this year. My younger sister just turned 12 and is now wearing make up and dressing up. So I have made her a big basket of makeup, nail polish, and hair accessories. For my mother, and mom-in-law, I am making baskets with candles, the reed diffusing scents, picture frames, and a little perfume. But now I am having a hard time with my dad and older sister. My sister spoils herself, she always buys what she wants, and has about everything. She is engaged now, so I thought of doing something for the both of them.... I don't know. Any ideas? And for my Dad, he loves to cook and grill, so I thought about making him a basket with accessories for the grill, and spices, and things like that. Hmmm...more ideas?

Growing up...this is basically our holidays... New Years Day...sit around at home watching the parade Valentines Day...pass out chocolate St. Patricks Day...big Irish feast, wear green, that's that. Easter...Make HUGE easter baskets, dye eggs for hunting, and have a merry feast replete with ham, some years even go to church. Memorial Day...BBQ 4th of July...Small, family BBQ again, and add rinky-dink type fireworks. Labour Day...BBQ again...if anything. Halloween...get dressed up, go trick-or-treating Thanksgiving...cook all day, then HUGE feast, we go our separate ways. Christmas...An interesting cross between Santa, Jesus, and the American capitalist monster. Inundate the poor tree with so many decorations it almost falls over, presents are the theme, and then another HUGE feast followed by fighting over who got what. New Years Eve...Root Beer floats, leftover fireworks, and then just hang out on "holiday pretenses". Now......this is how I want to do things at MY house, especially when my daughter comes to live with me......but my family seems to think it's either "boring", "ridiculous", or "crazy"...my mom in particular thinks I'd be "depriving" my daughter of a whole lot. New Years...actually be IN the parade. Valentines...kind of like the old 'May Day' tradition...ding dong ditch a bouquet of flowers or some other thing like that. St. Patrick's Day...same Irish dinner, sure...but also teach the kidlets about Irish culture too, since we are very Irish. Easter...focusing more on the fact that Spring is beginning, yes dying and hiding eggs, but skip the baskets/feast and have a "Welcome Spring" day. Memorial Day...Camping(inaugurate summer, lol) 4th of July...Block party with a big BBQ, then pyro show and patriotic town ceremony. Labour Day...BBQ at the beach. Send summer on its way, lol. Or if it's too cold then bake sale at church. Halloween...Harvest Festival. Fall Fling...you know, apple bobbing, scarecrows, hayrides, etc. Thanksgiving...Volunteering to serve at the local shelter, and then have a Family Home Evening to share what we're thankful for. Christmas...toootal Victorian here...nutcrackers and toy train around the tree, which is decorated with popcorn strings & clove oranges, everyone gets one gift from each other person so it's personal, caroling, fireside storytelling, etc. New Years Eve...Just like a sleepover, but since it's cali, at exactly 12, hop in the pool! lol So what do you think? Is my way REALLY "boring" "ridiculous" "crazy" and "depriving my daughter of SO much"? Or are they just snooty? And in your opinion, for each holiday, which way would you pick?

Please don't say.... -Fruits Basket -Bleach -Naruto They are all so popular and I've already watched or read those. I've watched a lot of other animes too, so I might have already seen what you might reccomend. I'm looking for something romantic, humourous if possible like.... Lovely Complex, Ranma 1/2. Or something interesting but romantic like Boku wa Imouto Koi wo Suru, Gift Eternal Rainbow. I'm not looking for mangas right now, just animes I can watch off of veoh. Thank you!

Three blond friends died together. They found themselves standing in front of the pearly gates with St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter heaven, they had to tell him what Easter was about. The first blond said, Easter is a big holiday where we give thanks, have a big feast and eat turkey. No said St. Peter. You don't get in. The second blond said, Easter is the holiday that we celebrate Jesus' being born of the virgin and give gifts to each other. No. The third blond said, Well, I know what Easter is all about. Easter is a Christian holiday which coincides with the Jewish Passover. After Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples, He was betrayed by Judas and turned over to the Romans. They crucified Him on a cross. After He died, they buried him in a tomb and put a huge boulder in front of it. Very good! said St. Peter. The blond continued. Now, every year, Jews roll the stone away and Jesus comes out. If He sees his shadow, we play basket ball for six more months. A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it. "Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me." The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed Everywhere she touched made her scream The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you? Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken. A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blond behind the wheel was knitting! Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked down hi s window, turned on his bullhorn and yelled, "PULL OVER! NO!" the blond yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF. The assistant asked the blond if she would like her pizza cut into six pieces or twelve. Six please" she said, I could never eat twelve. A blond was walking down the road with a healthy looking pig under her arm. As she passed the bus stop, someone asked, Where did you get that? The pig replied, I won her in a raffle! A person went into the office kitchen one morning and found a new blond girl painting the walls. She was wearing a new fur coat and a nice denim jacket. Thinking this was a little strange, he asked her why she was wearing them rather than old clothes or an overall. She showed him the instructions on the tin, For best results, put on two coats. A blond asked someone what time it was, and they told her it was 4:45. The blond, with a puzzled look on her face replied, You know, it's the weirdest thing, I have been asking that question all day, and each time I get a different answer

My boyfriend and I have dated for almost 3 years. I am in college and have very little money, but also very little time. I am not sure what to get for his parents-- I want something meaningful and thoughtful, but not expensive. Last year I made them a "date night" gift basket with sparkling cider (they don't drink alcohol), some fancy foods and snacks, candles, etc. Well the foods were still in their pantry 6 months later. So I would like to get them something more usable or interesting to them, but I don't know either of them terribly well. They love Cardinals baseball but have everything associated with that already, the mom is a teacher, likes to cook, and the dad is an office professional and likes history. It would be great if I could get one gift for both of them. They are about 50 years of age. The family likes practical gifts, not novelty or superfluous stuff. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Being a Christian and Christmas coming brings to us many questions. My family loves and always looks forward to Christmas. We love the festivities, the music, the food, the trees, glamour, lights, giving gifts, receiving them is nice too, but we really enjoy the giving so much more. Our favorite Christmas activity is packing and delivering food baskets and toys to the families going through tough times during the holidays. Our second favorite thing is creating gifts and tasty goodies to give to those we care about. There is nothing greater than a homemade gift from your heart. We don't really get into the commercialism, Santa clause ect. How ever we do enjoy the traditional movies. Our question is, how to we keep the focus where it should be and not on these made up stories. Also, is it wrong to enjoy all these things as a Christian? How do we keep the fun in Christmas and leave out the things that do not honor God? Is it wrong to enjoy these things about Christmas? Our kids are grown and it is just the two of us. We both are like little kids when it comes to the excitement and enjoyment of Christmas. We both agree Christmas comes and goes way too fast and takes too long to come again. We both work in job fields that keep us very busy at Christmas time and when things slow down Christmas is over and we didn’t get a chance to really enjoy it. This year we are trying to take the time to really enjoy it together, look at all the decorated homes, supply some kids with puppets we made together, and enjoy what family we can enjoy being with. My family is doing their best to make this holiday miserable for me. Setting rules and defining how I must be when I am with them. Rule #1, absolutely no gift giving of any kind is accepted, even the gifts from our kitchen and not even to the little kids, even if they didn’t cost us anything but our time. We don’t have any money to buy gifts; the economy is really bad here. A big part of Christmas to us is getting together with family and giving them a little token, expression of our love for them. We are trying to figure out how we can honor God and celebrate Christmas too. Homeland Security... We do give and help others all year long. I never mentioned it but we do it. GH... If we are trying to make God except what we like to do, I would not be asking any questions, there would be no need to ask questions if our minds were already made up. Happy KK... Where do you get materialistic out of a plate of homemade cookies and puppets made from scraps around the house? And my family is that way all year round, worse at Christmas, they feel you should never give them anything, it is not considered an expression of our love as we feel, it is considered trying to buy their love. I would rather just stay away from them than to become like that. Their rules back you in a corner and try to force you into never expressing you care in any form, including hugs. I can not believe that is how we are to treat others, and even more so family. If that was the case,.. We would be all living in a cold, unloving world. A world that is self centered and never did any acts of kindness.

We have various people helping us with our wedding, like with music, reading, ushering, etc. It's in December, and I was thinking about giving them a little "goody basket" with bought and baked treats and candies. Is this too dull or insufficient for their help? What do you think? Any other ideas if you don't like this one? We're trying to be budget-conscientious but not cheap.

I bought a cruise for my boyfriend as an Xmas gift. I was a fun way to give it to him though, not just give him a few papers that says we're going on a cruise. On EBay I have purcased a little Southwest airplane, a plastic Princess Cruise ship, postcards from St. Thomas and a mug from St. Maarten. I don't want to arrange them in a basket, I want it to be a bit more challenging, like open one at a time but I don't just want a stack of gifts...what's a good/exciting way to have him open these items that will slowly start to get him mind working and trying to figure how these all tie together?

With the economic times being the way they are this year, obviously some people are putting a lot more thought into their gifts this year, and i'm just curious to see what other people have come up with:) Like us, for example, my niece and nephew are very into the Disney's GummiBears ever since our in-laws gave each family a set of the GummiBears on DVD. And as anyone who remembers them knows, they drink "gummiberry juice" to get their bounce. Well they like to pretend they're drinking it too and bounce around the house. We were at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago and saw these holiday coke bottles in the shape of ornaments and when you peel the wrapper off, they look just like the bottles the GummiBears used to hold their gummiberry juice in. We bought some and when we finished drinking them, we washed them out, peeled off the labels, filled them with "gummiberry juice" and piled half a dozen into a basket with a few GummiBears plush toys that I have had since childhood. I can't wait to see their faces...I know they'll love it!

My fiance and I are planning our wedding for October. It is a second marraige for both of us. The wedding is small and we are only including those people that mean the most to us 34 +/-. We sent out "save the date" magnets last month because the wedding will be held on a holiday weekend and where we live, due to the season, the hotel rooms tend to book quickly. Anyways... along with the magnets we sent a note letting everyone know that in lieu of a gift we hope that they use the money toward any travel / hotel expenses, that them being there means more to us than any gift they could bring. My question is... I'm afraid that regardless of our request some of them may still bring a gift and/or card. Should we make sure that there is some typle of box/basket for this? If we do this and they actually listen to our request will it look like we didn't really mean it? Anyone been in the same situation? B2B: Just want you to be clear...we asked them to bring NOTHING...no cash / no gift. Just themselves Peachy: I'm sorry that your friends and family are so stuck up that they would not appreciate a hand written note letting them know how much their presence means to you. How sad.

My boyfriend and I are going to give homemade candies to our family members for Christmas... everything from hard candies and lollipops to peanut brittle and fudge. We were hoping to be able to gift the assortment of candies in tins (about the size of the larger commercial heart-shaped tins you see filled with candy on valentines day) or small baskets. We'll need to buy 16 of them. I've looked into the packaging sold for wedding favors but most of them appear to be too small. Have any ideas?

My husbands father just passed away, his wife is a very nice lady who will be bombarded with flowers, I was wondering would it be innapropriate to send a gift/food basket instead of flowers, that was filled with morning breakfast/coffee items, instead of traditional fruit....I'm thinking, she doesn't need more flowers that are going to have to be thrown away in a while, it is winter where she is so a plant isn't practical, and traditional funeral type plants/flowers she will get so many, what does anyone think on this, greatly appreciated..... I don't know how this got catagorized under weddings......how stupid of me... Thank you everybody!

For Christmas I'm getting my gf a gift basket theme thing based on places she has connections to, I think i have some good main stuff but I definitely need some more small stuff to fill out the gift basket. My question: Do you think this a good enough gift from a boyfriend of about 6 months or do I need more 'big' stuff in this basket. Is this a good idea in general or should I scrap it and go another way? What little stuff can I throw in her to fill out the gift basket? Here's the main stuff I have so far: 1. A bottle of California Wine (because shes originally from the Bay Area in Cali, not far from wine country), 2. A box of her favorite Taiwanese food (these little meat/bread rolls) from her mother's hometown (her parents are from Taiwan) 3. A small framed poster of Paris with pink as its main color, and theres a close up of a girls high heeled shoes in it. Hard to explain, but Paris is her favorite city and she loves shoes (so does every girl, but she REALLY does). 4. She also loves Vegas, so I got her another framed poster of the famous Vegas sign (she has nothing on her walls in her apt so these posters are functional too). This poster is big, so it'll be separate from the actual 'basket'. The only other place I was thinking about using is Japan because shes sort of into the culture (not like the anime stuff or anything though).

A Papua New Guinea Christmas poem. Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house all the geckoes were stirring, but no little mouse. The stockings were hung on the wash basket's rim, in hopes that the washer would soon work again. When out on waigani there rose such a clatter. A PMV engine, its innards did splatter. A little old man in a jolly red suit, climbed down from the cab, gave the fender a boot. He laughed to the heavens--a hysterical sound-- then sat and chewed beetlenut, glancing around. My eye he did spy--peeking down from our porch, and he winked and he grinned and he asked for a torch. I said it had sold in our go-finish sale, "I missed it," he cried, and his face did grow pale. I rushed him a beer, and his cheeks they did glow. He fingered his nose and he gave it a blow. Then he raised up his head and gave such a whistle, eight rascals appeared, with the speed of a missile. They stole all my money and tied me up right, while the red-suited man, drank my beer and got tight. Then flicking a sign at the rascals to go, he danced toward the dark, stomping hard on my toe. And I heard his mad cry, as he went out of sight. "That'll teach you, good shepherd, stay in Christmas night." ################################################# Glossary: Beetlenut--The nut of the Betel Palm. Widely used in the South Pacific, by everyone from 9-90. This nut, when chewed with lime, releases a narcotic and causes copius amounts of carmine tinted saliva which its users spit everywhere. Geckoes--Small Lizards that make a call that sounds like someone tapping on glass. Go-finish--Expatriate teachers usually have a 3 year contract. In Pidgin, when the contract is complete they are said to "go finish." They usually sell everything they can for cash, rather than paying to ship it halfway round the world. PMV--Public Moter Vehicle. The Bus/Taxi of PNG. These are mini-buses, licensed to drive within specific areas and pick up as many passengers as they can cram in. They are ill-kept and usually run on a mixture of Diesel, Kerosene, and used motor oil, to save money. PNG--Papua New Guinea. Rascals--Gangs of young unemployed males, who make their living robbing people. Torch--Flashlight. ####################################################### May your holidays be creative and your gifts many.

I've been with my fiance for 10 years, since we were 13 years old. He is the kindest, most hard-working guy ever. I don't have a ton of money but I wanted to throw together a gift basket to show I appreciate him, and just wanted some ideas to throw stuff in there. I was thinking a few scratch tickets, maybe a porno movie and a bottle of booze... What else you think would be good to throw in?

The game is played with a group of people and each year for my family christmas we play this. You put numbers in a basket and everyone draws a number the #1 person opens a gift and the #2 person can either steal the gift they opened or open another gift. And it goes on with numbers. A gift can only be stolen twice and then it is frozen. I am try to think of a good gift I can get that everyone will want to steal, to make the game more fun. It can be a unisex gift or Man or Womans. Any suggestions would be great thanks! Hope it makes sense.

I am a Christian, and I have always wondered but never really asked: why do we get gifts on Easter? Such as, baskets, chocolate bunnies, eggs... what do these have to do with the main point of the holiday? By the way, I am not an adult...I'm 15.

I need to get a 'thank you' gift for two of my professors for writing my recommendation letters. What better than food? This is where my predicament arises: what should I get for old people? Perhaps I am stereotyping the elderly, but I view old people as kind of bitter, stern, and in dire need of their fibers. My two professors are skinny/fit, one being a sub-60 year old, the other a late 60, early 70 ex-marine. I know I am babbling, but please bear with me. I don't know about what these guys eat so I am asking you old people (and young). Should I buy a couple of fruit baskets or should I risk offending a diabetic and buy some sweets (e.g. chocolate, cookies, cake)? What will be the most pragmatic and professional, in your views?

I want to make a friend a gift basket for Christmas and I thought I would make a fishing gift basket since they love to fish (river fishing). What would be some good things to put in the basket? I don't want to put stuff in there they probably won't use, so I want to get some good universal fishing stuff (or even anything related to fishing!) Thanks in advance for any help!

My SIL once gave me a homemade basket with bright neon purple trim. (My entire house was done in earth tones.) Someone had taken store bought breads and sprayed them with some type of a clear finish. Needless to say, the breads molded. I forgot about the Valentine's Day when my gift was a huge 3 maybe 4 foot comedy card or the free membership to the Three Stooges Fanclub from a guy who must have been idiot's brother.
