What kind of present would you buy a male?

Q. I'm a 16 year old girl and I think women are easy to buy for, they like some form of jewellery but when it comes to men I do not have a clue what to buy.

What kind of present would you buy a:
16 year old (boyfriend)?
30 year old?
50 year old?
70 year old?

For christmas or their birthday?

Thanks for helping.

A. To be honest you dont really have to get a guy anything. Most guys just crave attention and affection from their girlfriend. In a 16 year olds case this would mean something like sex haha. Or just extra attention from their girl. When guys get older though they mature and they'll learn to appreciate more and also get new hobbies. So you should focus on their interests when it comes to gift giving. If they smoke pot then buy em some weed. If their into motorcycles take a few pictures of yourself naked by one and turn it into a calendar. Just kidding XD. Buy them a cool motorcycle helmet instead. Although the calendar isnt a bad idea haha. Clothing can work for any age of guy though. And as a bonus it should be something you think they look good in. And you should tell them that. Like "hey babe i bought you this new hoodie. You'll look so sexy in this ;)". A guy will really get a kick out of that. Although that would be kinda awkward to say if you were both 70 though XD.


How do I throw a 30th Birthday Party for my single friend?
Q. My single girlfriend is turn 30 this year. Does anyone have an clever ideas for decorations or a theme?

A. I'm single and also turning 30 this year. Hey, maybe you're my friend and this party is for me! ha! just kidding... ;)

If she's anything like me, and dreads turning 30, the last thing I want is to have people rubbing my new age-bracket in my face. Who wants to be reminded of how old they are getting when they're still single? So forego any "Over-the-Hill" type of decorations, or anything referring to "Old Maid" (I absolutely HATE that term!!!) Here are some parties that she may like:

-Honestly, I think a dinner party with her closest friends would be the best. Make reservations at her favorite restaurant and make a fun night of it. Take pictures!
-If she hates the thought of turning 30, do a "Happy 1st Anniversary of turning 29" party. Have 29 pink candles and 1 white candle decorating a white-frosted cake.
-Decorate the party like the 70's since that was the year she was born and have everyone wear 70's attire and play 70's music. Have 70's style posters decorating the room and maybe a history board of pictures of her growing through the years.
-Or if she's a fan of the 80's, throw an 80's style party, same idea as the 70's version...
-Or perhaps if she's a movie buff, have a party of "Big Movie Hits of the Last Three Decades". Have everyone dress up as their favorite movie character over the last 30 years.
-Maybe have people bring inexpensive gifts in thirty's. Thirty candy bars, thirty birthday cards about turning 30, a mixed CD with 30 songs on it, etc. Let your guests be the creative ones too.
-Murder mystery parties are awesome.
-Perhaps if you and her close friends can afford it, go on a road trip somewhere and celebrate. Vegas, Atlantic City, etc.

I don't suggest strippers or strip clubs. To me, that's fun in your early 20's. Turning 30 is a big step and the party shouldn't be reduced to something silly, unless she would like that...? *shrug*

***The most important part: Whatever you decide to do, invite men and women. If any of your guests have any potentional, great single men, bring them along! The more the single men, the merrier, right? ;)

Good luck! I'm sure she (and everyone else) will have a blast! And how thoughtful of you to do this for her! :)


What is a good birthday present for a 16 year old boy that does not cost a ton of money?
Q. My friend's son is turning 16 this week and I have no idea what to get him. My kids are much younger so I am not sure what is an appropriate gift for a teenage boy. Also, I wanted to keep it under $30 if possible.

A. How about any of these, they shouldn't cost a lot in stores.
