What are some good birthday gift ideas for grandmothers?

Q. My grandmother is turning 71 next week, and since I probably won't get to see her around Mother's Day I'd like to get her maybe a gift for that and birthday gift combined, and this will be from myself and my sister. I don't have a lot of money.

A. Make her a lovely gift basket that combines the two occasions together. You could theme your basket around an activity that you know your grandmother enjoys like gardening, or movies or reading or even just fill your basket with a selection of inexpensive goodies in her favorite color! To keep the cost down use a gift bag from your local dollar store and jazz it up with loads of ribbons and a big bow in a complimentary color.

What is a good birthday gift for a guy in their mid 20's?

What should I buy or make for birthday gifts?
Q. I know this may sound rather odd, but I try to plan financially everything I do a year in advance in hopes to avoid any surprises in my checkbook. Anyways, what should I buy or make for people next year for their birthdays? I preferably want to give them a homemade gift (what are some creative ideas for homemade birthday gifts?), but if that's tasteless I'm open to almost anything.

My best friend will turn 44 years old

My brother, his girlfriend, and a friend will turn 19

Important friends will turn 21, 23, and 24

My boyfriend will turn 27

A dear male friend who's in prison will turn 23 yrs. old

A brother will turn 50 and a sister will turn 40.

My important nieces and nephews between 2-15

Daddy will turn 75 (my mom is deceased)

My other siblings and friends will receive birthday cards.

Thank you in advance as I greatly appreciate your input and advice.

A. Wow, organization like that is amazing (if a little scary). Only you know your friends, and your talents (some people should never bake anything for anyone), so suggestions really might not be so good.

For those that like them, how about candles? They are easy to make, all you need is some wax (even from old candles), crayons for color, string (dipped in the hot wax, curled around a pencil on one end, weighted with a coin for the bottom of the candle), scent (or unscented - some people like candles but gag @ the smell), maybe one of their favorites (can get samples sometimes, but oils work best), and a quart or half gallon waxed paper juice or milk carton. This also should prob be done in one of those disposable foil pans.

Melt the wax, adding the crayons, scent (or not). Stir. Cut off the top of the carton where it starts to fold, so that you have just the square. Rest the pencil with the string (wick) on top (the weighted end should be at the bottom of the carton. Pour a little wax in to fix the wick in place in the center of the carton. Give it a little time to solidify (about 20 min-1/2 hr. Stick the whole thing in the fridge or freezer if you want to move it along more quickly).

Get some ice cubes from the tray and fill the carton with them. Stir the wax again (the wax should be hot enough to pour). Then pour it into the carton over the ice cubes. Let it cool & set (give it a couple hrs minumum, overnight is best, or do the fridge thing. You don't want to stick this in the freezer or the water in the carton will re-ice). Peel away the carton.

The ice will have created pockets in the candle and it looks pretty cool, certainly not like a factory candle.

For your friend in prison, baked goods sound like the way to go, perhaps lots of cookies he can share. Or a cd?

Ok, I'm off to finish my Christmas shopping for this year, half of which is still undone!

What should i get my younger sister for birthday? SHe is 19 and goes to college?

Q. I was gonna get her a Kinect but they are sold out everywhere locally. Her birthday is today and I was wondering if i can have some quick great gift ideas. Preferably electronics, no ipod/iphone/ipad stuff. Something different
SHe is not into hardcore gaming. I was gonna get kinect cuz it is fun and she liked Wii

A. The best thing you can by for her is a gift card, that way she can use it and purchase what she likes. As a college student, she can use the card to purchase items she needs for college because many students do not have a lot of money and a gift card can go a long way for something she needs for her personal use.


What are some gifts ideas for an incoming college freshman?
Q. My friend just graduated high school and is off to university in the fall. Her birthday is in August and her grad party is also coming up. What are some things I could get for her for under $75 that would be practical and helpful for her first year of college?

A. The bike and baskets are nice ideas, but college students are very limited on space and need to switch dorm each year.

I would go with a gift certificate, mini fridge (find out if her dorms allow it at the college website), desk lamp etc.


How to throw a surprise 18th birthday party in college?
Q. Any good ideas?? I go to USC in Los Angeles so any places around there, or we could do it in a dorm also. What can I do?

A. Email everyone an invitation to a toga party with a few pics on how to dress--or another theme. Depends on sex of birthday person and their interests and also quantity of guests. Ask a few people to help supply finger foods....chicken fingers, meat patties, mini quiche, wings, sausage puffs, crab or spinach dip or hummous & pita, cookies, cookies...birthday cake or cupcakes. A large peach punch...with or without alcohol, is more cost effective. You don't need a punch bowl...just juice pitchers from the dollar store and paper cups. Don't forget napkins and little plates and forks if there's cake. Everyone should take on a little responsibilty and chip in effort and you can coordinate the details and ask all communication to be through email/text, so that the birthday person is kept surprised. Have a couple of people on decoration detail. Even a couple of simple decorations can look festive. Buy a large birthday card which gets passed around in advance so that all well-wishers can sign it, plus some type of gag gift with an amusing, personalized story behind it to present in front of everyone. Have a person be in charge of music. Give a couple of pointers to each person in charge of their respective tasks, so they have some direction in what's expected. Have everyone send you a text/email, a day in advance assuring you that everything is fine and on schedule. Don't let anyone drive if they are tipsy. Check the party area and clear it of valuables, fragile items, loose rugs, and any other hazards. Warn students who could affected by the noise so they can opt to study elsewhere. Buy ice for the drinks and keep in a cooler.

It was so touching!! I was so happy that day! The happiest person in the world!


My mom is getting married in 2 days, need help for a short son of the bride speech?
Q. I'm terrible at writing, and I cannot think of what to say.

Could anyone give me some ideas? I have heard that I could mention our happy memories together, and what she has done for me. But even that is very hard for me.

Could someone give me a few general sentences that I could say during the speech? It's a very short speech.

Like "I'm so glad to see my mother so happy with her new husband, I wish them many happy years together, etc."

Thanks!

A. go light: Hello, my name's noob, and I've been asked to give a short
son of bride speech. Now, this is easy for me because I'm short(laugh),

I would just like to say that I'm glad my Mom is happy( you are happy,
right, Mom?) and hope her and my new step-dad have a great life
together and remember their short step-son on his birthdays and at xmas,
(unless you're Jewish-if so, switch to another gift-giving holiday-you don't
want to short yourself).They said keep it short, so I'll wrap it up now,and
let's get on to the reception,I'm starving. Good Luck,and God Bless.
Thank you......I hope you're not six-two or something. If so, say this
short son-of bride speech is gonna be a little hard unless maybe I bend

What should I get a guy for his birthday?

Q. Well today is his birthday and I dont know what to get him.

A. Oh, honey. You should have been planning this one but I've totally been in your shoes haha,
last minute gifts for guys;
...if he likes coffee, and starbucks card, or a gift from there, or even better a date with you:)
something from his favorite clothing store,
bake his his favorite dessert, some cookies maybe?
have a whole date night "planned"! haha eat his favorite foods, get his favorite movie, (even if you cant stand it) and just spoil him in any way you can think of!

The best tip I can give you is to think of what he would like, not you. Oh, and don't give 'yourself' to him. Gag. ^

Have fun dear! Also check out pinterest for some more ideas if you're feeling crafty:)


I need ideas on how to advertise my online Gift Basket store?
Q. Hi, I recently became a consultant with La Bella Baskets and now have my own personal online store. We have over 400 gifts that include gift baskets for all occasions, fresh flowers, cookie bouquets, candles, care packages and a lot more. I am looking for ideas on how to reach people that enjoy and want what my store offers. All comments will be very helpful and appreciated. Thank You

A. mylabellabaskets.com has some 1800 pages, there may be close to that many single page individual reps on the site. If everyone has much the same factory provided content than getting 'free' search engine ranking may be quite difficult (there are 369 stores with the line "Did you know that everyday millions of people are sending gift baskets"). You may well not have enough profit to afford premium paid ads. multiple click costs by 20 to 100 to get the ad cost per sale on many store sites. Certainly you can create a presence on a variety of free social sites, including Facebook and Pinterest that all link to your main page.

Facebook paid ads are unique in they provide powerful demographic targeting options. You can only show a certain ad to a certain location, gender, age range, marriage status and expressed interest, you can also show an ad only to people on their birthday, you might offer a discount code sort of gift if the sign up to your email list on their birthday.

It's a bit troubling that you have to pay $20/mo to promote their product, the vast majority of affiliate programs have no sign up fees for their affiliates. there are countless affiliate programs out there, some paying 20%, for about $8/mo for the hosting account you could have your own site where your investment of time and effort wouldn't be at the whims of a merchant. You can setup Wordpress sites with no programming create unique content perhaps about gifting that attracts search engine ranking and free traffic, you might promote multiple affiliate programs.

This guy has a fairly objective look at the business.
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2010/08/31/is-la-bella-baskets-a-scam/

For a taste of other affiliate program (the basket things looks more like a straight affiliate program rather than an MLM) look through CJ.com (Commission Junction)


Is this a big room to be used as a bedroom?
Q. Okay so first of all is 300sqft big for a Bedroom??? Okay so I'm 15 and for my 16th birthday I'm using my money to reduce my bedroom and as a gift from my parents I will be getting a room in my house which my mom used to run a business out of and the only thing is I have to buy the flooring or pay for 75% of it and it is 300sqft how much would that cost and do you know any wear I can find cheep but still good quality floor I was think laminate but I don't know anything about this stuff...any ideas?

A. You're going to have so much fun decorating a bedroom that big! Laminate can be hard to clean, but it is cheap. I've also seen blocks of flooring you can use, kind of like a big mosaic on the floor, that can be easily moved around or switched out for when you're ready for a new color. You can play around with room themes and decorations at this site to give you ideas: http://www.mywebroom.com/

Any suggestions for cheap party food for about 50 people?

Q. My husband turns 30 next month and I want to do something really special for him. There are about 50 people I would like to invite that will probably come. I know cake and ice cream would probably be cheapest but I would like to serve food. I think finger foods can really add up when you do that much so I was thinking some sort of a meal that I can make a lot of. Any ideas? I will probably just have lemonade, tea, and water for drinks. Thanks!

A. How about having bowls of "filler" snacks set out around the party rooms before the guest arrive, containing inexpensive things like popcorn and bulk-purchased potato and corn chips? To offset any dryness and saltiness, also set out bowls of fresh fruit, and a couple of platters of cut fruits. And/or some platters of cut veggies, with or without dips. Fresh produce in season is about as inexpensive as you can get. Let people eat these for a good hour before the "real" food is served.

For food which you need to control the costs of (while still providing comfortably for your guests), how about a salad bar? Of course, this can include greens, tasty additions, and dressings, but it could also be just a good selection of complete and filling salads, such as potato, pasta, taco, five-bean, egg, and so on.

Or have a sandwich bar, with a wide variety of bread-roll types, sandwich salads (such as tuna salad, egg salad, etc), "cheap meats" such as chicken (roast it yourself and shred for sandwiches), plus a bit of greens, onion, tomato, and sliced cheeses.

In some areas, it's perfectly socially acceptable for the hostess to ask guests to bring a dish or a bottle to the party, in lieu of a birthday gift. If I'm invited to such a party, I usually supplement the food-gift with a fancy birthday card, and share any photos I take at the party with the host family some days later.

Don't forget that there is a whole world of good recipes on the internet these days. It's a dieter's disaster just doing a little research!

Tell your DH, Happy Birthday from all of us kindly strangers on Y!A .... :-D

Gift ideas for a coworkers 6 year old?

Q. A friend (and coworker) I know is having a birthday party for her 6 year old daughter. Gift ideas?

A. Hmm, with a six year old I would say anything that has to do with dolls, barbies, dress up, princesses and the like. Just go down the "girl toy isle" in wal mart or target and I'm sure you can find something.
bubbles and crayons and things like that are also nice things that you can throw in with a barbie or a doll or something.
:)


What would be a good prank to pull on my coworkers?
Q. I work in a small workshop with two other guys and we recently started a prank war. Pranks we have pulled include super gluing rags to boots, small piles of gunpowder in grinder sparks, fake injury using a plastic hand and red dye, gluing equipment to surfaces etc. Nothing too dangerous or annoying but funny all the same.
I have access to a lot of materials so please give me some good ideas!

A. 1. Vaseline On The Door Knob - Put vaseline on the inside doorknob when you leave before your coworkers to prevent them from being able to turn the knob after you leave.
2. TP The Room - Toilet Paper his/her work station.
3. Musical Rug - Take that small electronic chip out of a musical greeting card and place it underneath a rug/carpet, so whenever your coworker walks on it, music will play.
4. Strange Panties - Whenever you know that your coworker's girlfriend/boyfriend is coming over, put some sexy underwear (of the opposite sex) in their seat.
5. Food Coloring - Put some food coloring inside their hand soap dispenser. When they try to wash his hands, they will end up messier than before they decided to wash them.
6. Heavy Box - While moving either in or out of your dorm room, tape an empty box up and write 'HEAVY' on it (or something like '150 lbs') to try and convince your victim its heavy. Then carry it across the room and act as if it weighs a ton. Then ask your coworker to give you a hand. Struggle a bit to hand it over, ask him repeatedly if he has it, if its ok, etc...then just drop it in his hands. He will more than likely try to over compensate, thinking it really was heavy.
7. Inches - Everyday move your coworkers stuff an inch away. In a about 2 weeks, his furniture will be almost out the door and he wouldn't even notice or give much thought.
8. Deodorant - Scrape off about an inch or so of your coworker's deodorant and replace it with cream cheese. Next time they use it, they will get a cream cheese surprise.
9. Soap Prank - Coat your coworker's bar of soap with nail polish and let it dry. When they try to use it, they will go nuts trying to get it to lather up.
10. Go to a popular social networking website and grab the goofiest pictures of your co-workers. Print the pictures and post them on the bulletin board.
11. Go to the workstation of a random co-worker then scream “Happy Birthday!” In a short while, the entire staff will be rushing over to your officemate’s station for an instant birthday celebration.
12. Wrap all the items on your officemate’s workstation with gift wrapping paper, including the table.


would a coach wallet be appropriate an birthday present to a coworker/friend who is a girl?
Q. i am a guy and i don't want to send the wrong message or raise questions or give anyone ideas. i just couldn't think of anything else to get .

A. That's a very nice gift but i would go with a coach wristlet unless your getting a wallet that matches her purse

What's a good Christmas gift tradition for me and my boyfriend to start?

Q. So we're saving the really thoughtful gifts for birthdays and valentines day but we would like something fun and creative to do for a christmas gift. Preferably something we can do every year as a tradition but put a new spin on it. Any suggestions?

A. You may do them on top of gifts.. but christmas stockings are a great thing! They are perfect because you can go out and get lots of fun little things and you have lots to look through! Another fun idea that is kind of like stockings would be a christmas box. Get a box from the dollar store that you feel is the appropriate size. Every year your gift has to fit in the box and you can add a rule every year. (ex. something with red on it, more then one thing, it has to have handles) Or a nice photo album. Every year you take all of the pictures from the months before and put them in a nice album, great way to keep memories. Sounds like you guys have it all workede out, so Merry Christmas and I hope I helped (:

He's not big on jewelry, so a ring in return is out of the picture. I want something engravable. Any ideas?

A. BEST place in the world to get your special guy a gift. I used it for my ex all the time, birthday, anniversary, valentines, you name it. you can search the site based on price range, personality, whatever you want.
http://www.greatgiftsformen.com/

OH and tons of the stuff on their are engravable, from flasks to signs to whatever haha


Creating a calendar for my boyfriend?

A. Well each month can have a picture of a place you two have gone to. Or like a memorable concert, movie, etc you went to on that month.

what are some gift ideas for a pregnant girlfriend who is 21yrs old?

Q. My friend is having a baby in february and wants to get her something special. Any Ideas?

A. Please, please, don't get her anything baby related for her birthday. When it's time for the baby shower, get her something for the baby...meanwhile, it's her birthday, so celebrate her!

I might suggest a massage...Many day spa's offer pregnancy massages, which (a) allow her to relax in a way that doesn't interfere with her belly, and (b) will help to relax the muscles that get really sore when a woman is pregnant.

Alternately, there's always the things that the rest of us want, even when we're not pregnant...Diamonds or pearls are always nice! :)

What is a good birthday gift for an eleven year old boy?
Q. I'm going to a birthday party for a coworkers son. I would like to know a good gift idea and something not very expensive.

A. Kids at that age are always saving up for some time of game. Put a 20 in a birthday card and I am sure it will be a hit.

What is a good gift to Give a baby/parents for baby's 1st birthday?
Q. I need some good gift ideas to give for a baby boy's first birthday. I do not want to just give some silly toy from target, but I also do not want to spend more then like 30 dollars. It is for coworker's son. I would really like it to be something for them both to enjoy. Ideas please!

A. You could get something engraved from things remembered with his name on it. Maybe a piggy bank? I liked little ride on toys for my kids. You could also get a nice picture frame for the first year or a savings bond. Also, a cute outfit is nice, but doesn't have much meaning. If you aren't close to the coworker or the child, then I wouldn't worry about it being too personal.

birthday gift ideas for new friend who's turning 21?

Q. I have a friend who I've known for about 7 weeks. Her 21st birthday is this weekend and she invited to her party as well as bar hopping! Any awesome gift ideas or types of gifts?

A. You havent known her that long. Treat her to a drink. Thats it. Or a 20$ gift card to a movie.


Can anyone help with 21th birthday gift ideas?
Q. Its my friends 21st birthday, and i need gift ideas

she is going to america soon for 12 weeks, so something handy for a long trip would maybe be good.

she is really girly if that helps.

I've been thinkin for ages, and i just need maybe good websites or something.

Thanks

A. I believe most girls love spa. Why don't you arrange a spa day to celebrate her birthday? You can invite her to have facials, manicures, pedicures, and any other special treats she likes. Or, if there isn’t a spa that offers such services, you can hire a therapist to your home and invite her for a private treatment session as her birthday gift. Good luck!


What should I buy or make for birthday gifts?
Q. I know this may sound rather odd, but I try to plan financially everything I do a year in advance in hopes to avoid any surprises in my checkbook. Anyways, what should I buy or make for people next year for their birthdays? I preferably want to give them a homemade gift (what are some creative ideas for homemade birthday gifts?), but if that's tasteless I'm open to almost anything.

My best friend will turn 44 years old

My brother, his girlfriend, and a friend will turn 19

Important friends will turn 21, 23, and 24

My boyfriend will turn 27

A dear male friend who's in prison will turn 23 yrs. old

A brother will turn 50 and a sister will turn 40.

My important nieces and nephews between 2-15

Daddy will turn 75 (my mom is deceased)

My other siblings and friends will receive birthday cards.

Thank you in advance as I greatly appreciate your input and advice.

A. Wow, organization like that is amazing (if a little scary). Only you know your friends, and your talents (some people should never bake anything for anyone), so suggestions really might not be so good.

For those that like them, how about candles? They are easy to make, all you need is some wax (even from old candles), crayons for color, string (dipped in the hot wax, curled around a pencil on one end, weighted with a coin for the bottom of the candle), scent (or unscented - some people like candles but gag @ the smell), maybe one of their favorites (can get samples sometimes, but oils work best), and a quart or half gallon waxed paper juice or milk carton. This also should prob be done in one of those disposable foil pans.

Melt the wax, adding the crayons, scent (or not). Stir. Cut off the top of the carton where it starts to fold, so that you have just the square. Rest the pencil with the string (wick) on top (the weighted end should be at the bottom of the carton. Pour a little wax in to fix the wick in place in the center of the carton. Give it a little time to solidify (about 20 min-1/2 hr. Stick the whole thing in the fridge or freezer if you want to move it along more quickly).

Get some ice cubes from the tray and fill the carton with them. Stir the wax again (the wax should be hot enough to pour). Then pour it into the carton over the ice cubes. Let it cool & set (give it a couple hrs minumum, overnight is best, or do the fridge thing. You don't want to stick this in the freezer or the water in the carton will re-ice). Peel away the carton.

The ice will have created pockets in the candle and it looks pretty cool, certainly not like a factory candle.

For your friend in prison, baked goods sound like the way to go, perhaps lots of cookies he can share. Or a cd?

Ok, I'm off to finish my Christmas shopping for this year, half of which is still undone!

Creating a calendar for my boyfriend?

Q. I'm going away to college in the fall and thought a calendar would be a cute, inexpensive idea as a little remember me gift for my boyfriend. I'm planning on making special days different colors (ex our anniversary, birthdays, etc) and was wondering some other cute ideas to do. also i'm looking for ideas as what to put as the front cover and the picture for each month. I'm pretty good with photoshop and those sort of programs so i was gonna do a lot of it on there. any help would be appreciated! thanks!

A. Well each month can have a picture of a place you two have gone to. Or like a memorable concert, movie, etc you went to on that month.


I'm trying to "wow" my wife for her next birthday. What's the best gift you've ever recieved?
Q. She's turning 33, doesn't like to read, likes movies, has some health problems so she can't really do anything to physical like hiking, skiing, etc. I'd appreciate any fun ideas. Thanks.

A. I had an ex boyfriend that did this for me and i'll never forget this. (It was the one sweet thing he did the whole time we were together)

Get some hershey kisses and when she's asleep, put a trail of them into the shower. Then put flowers and rose pettles in the shower. Put a note in it saying, "now that I've kissed the ground you walk on, and showered you with flowers, join me for dinner tonight at __:___. " You can also say breakfast, and make her a fantastic breakfast with all the works. If she works, I would suggest doing it before she comes home and hide when she gets home. Then come behind her when she finds your note and be dressed up and all ready for dinner. It would be even better if you made the dinner yourself and had a candlelight dinner for two set up where she can't see it when she gets inside.


What to get my boyfriend for Christmas?
Q. I always get him clothes and shoes so I dont want to get that. He paints graffiti and he wants me to get him a gift card to home depot for paint. BUT I DONT WANT TO SUPPORT THAT! Any other ideas?

A. What you should do is ask him if he has any other hobbies, if he doesn't, do what you feel is right, if he does then get him something that has to do with that hobby. You could also give him what my ex-boyfriend gave me for my birthday, a kiss.

Birthday gift ideas and any other good ideas are necesary?

Q. Birthday gift ideas and any other good ideas are necesary?
I need some ideas of something nice and thoughfull for my grandmother B-Day tomorrow in a couple hours any ideas? PLEASE its URGENT!!

A. Oooh! You are in a tight fix.
How "creative" are you with quick knick-knacks? Why not craft a simple (and handy) device that will help your Grandma to manipulate a (specific) item that she normally uses around the house?
OR...... You can "dress up" an item around her house (again - think CREATIVE).......
OH! How about "dressing up" / or PAINTING a shoe spoon to serve as a soup ladle-holder (on her kitchen table) to prevent the soup from spotting her table?

How can a 14 year old make $450 by March/April of 2013?

Q. Im saving up for a laptop, for Christmas&my birthday Im asking for Best Buy gift cards. I have $51 dollars as of today (July 23rd, 2012). I need $399 till I can purchase my laptop. I know exactly what laptop as well. So if you have any ideas that don't have to do with CHORES or BABYSITTING. It would be very helpful. Thank you (:

A. Here's some tips on how to be frugal like me: stay away from cigarettes (#1 money waster), use cantines instead of buying waterbottles or sodas, try to eat at buffets instead of restaraunts, use spiral bulbs instead of the regular bulbs, when you buy a car buy a light colored one that's efficient (Im gonna buy a white BMW), recycle everything especially metal cause you could make money off of metal,
& if you have any books or movies you don't want anymore you could sell them to Half Priced Books.


What are some cheap, but cute, clothing stores?
Q. So I'm trying to find a whole new "look", I guess you could say, for me. For my birthday, my mom's present to me, is to go to Saphora (or however you spell it) and get all new makeup and better colors for me. So anyway, I want new clothes, so for my birthday, I'm going to ask for gift cards! But, I have NO IDEA *besides Forever 21* what stores to even look at. I want sort of cheap clothes. I'm kind of a girly girl in a way, but I want some simple clothes with cute accessories. So, when it comes to clothes and stuff for me, I go cheap! So I don't mind it being gift cards or not my money when it comes to expensive. Basically, do you have any store suggestions/ideas/recommendations for me?! It would help A LOT. Thanks!

A. Most likely you will have much more variety of clothing if you shop online some. You can find different things other people don't have. If you have a girly style you can buy heels and wedges.The summer is coming up,buy more clothes for summer and spring and accessorize alot. Wear bright colors and dont cake on the make up, simple nicer. Belts always add a flare to boring jeans. Dresses and skirts are cute and you can add your own touch by finding bold and unique prints on shirts etc. Here are some great online stores.You can find great accessories and clothing.I also found a website that tells you what will be in style in 2013

Birthday gift ideas for my husband ?
Q. I am trying to think of some things for my husband's birthday. He will be twenty-eight. He isn't picky, but would prefer me to spend the money on myself, but I wanna do/get something special for him. I don't like the whole sex/coupon idea. He gets what he wants when he wants in the department. I would buy him things for his car, but it is a 2013 Camaro, I've had a hard time finding anything for it, unless I'm not looking hard enough? Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

A. Surprise him by renting a limo and taking him out to dinner. Then for a nice relaxing ride around town for a while. Then back to your place for some birthday cake and have some friends drop by to surprise him.

What are your absolute favorite toys for 6-12 month olds?

Q. Our son will be turning 6 months old tomorrow, and we want to get him a few new toys as a half birthday gift. What are your favorite toys for your 6-12 month old, and what do you love about them?

A. My son is 10 mos.
-He particularly likes anything with large wheels that he can turn. He has a large plastic truck with no small parts and a little train with a few cars (also no small parts). I like these because he'll spend a lot of time just turning the wheels, but then he can also push it around the room.
-He also likes things that makes a sound if you press one specific area (he has a dragon that burps--I've no idea who came up with that but it still cracks us both up!).
-Here's something that I can't describe, but he loved it especially around 6-8 mos. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geek-kids/b0a3/
-Another favorite are bathtime squirt toys like these: http://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Baby-Piece-Squirties-Vinyl/dp/B000G7WYNI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1278662459&sr=1-4 They're fun in the bath but he also enjoys carrying them around and blowing air at himself.
-There's also the "Scout" dog (and similar products). These are more expensive (ours was a gift), though still very affordable at around $20, and they can be programmed to talk to your child and say his name, plus you can choose songs and music that it "sings" which also can be personalized. I noticed that once we got it (at 5 mos) he started responding to his name quite a bit more and I think that it will later help him build a rudimentary vocabulary. http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-19156-My-Pal-Scout/dp/B001W30D2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1278662573&sr=1-1
-Board books are also great. Our son doesn't care so much to be read to yet, but he likes turning the pages (and eating them). Later maybe we'll actually get him to pay attention to the words. :)

You didn't ask, but here are some "non-baby" baby toys that our son loves:
-a lightweight flashlight. It rolls, he can hold it and he's endlessly delighted with turning the light on and off
-a set of 'blank' keys. He used to play with our keys, but as soon as he became mobile we could never find them when we needed them. I went a hardware store and bought a few different keys (not carved to any specific design) and put them on a ring. He loves it and I know where my keys are now!
-a half-full bottle of water (tightly closed). It rolls, it reflects the light, makes sound. Our son learned to crawl chasing after a bottle of water.
-a small non-helium balloon (but of course only when supervised). My son loves this; he'll chase it around and he loves hitting himself (and others) with it.

Happy birthday to your son; if you haven't already, you should be starting to get more sleep soon. :)


Is there any gifts I can give to someone who audits or does a little accounting? Maybe something to ease?
Q. their job? I know it can be stressful. It's a birthday gift and I'm just looking for any ideas.

Idk if there's any but any suggestions?

A. I used to work as a bookkeeper for several small businesses. (I know accounting, but I don't have a degree or a CPA certification.)

I don't think that such a person would want a gift related to the field. We don't want a calculator or an accounting software program as a gift LOL.

Get the person a personal gift based on what you know of them. Perhaps a book by their favorite author, a gift certificate to a decent restaurant, or even just a standard gift card that can be used anywhere. That last might be the best idea. With a gift card, they can go online to Amazon.com or other sites and purchase something that they want or need. It seems generic to do that, but really, it WILL be appreciated, since they can get what THEY want or need, not what YOU guess they might want or need.


Birthday gift ideas for a 14 year old boy?
Q. My son is turning 14, and he isn't giving out enough ideas for gifts. He has a laptop and an Xbox 360. He plays fighting/shooting games on them. We have 2 dogs, and he plays basketball, rides his bike, and plays on our trampoline. Please! I need ideas!

A. does he have an ipod touch? they're expensive, around two hundred dollars, but if you bought him one with a twenty five dollar gift card and some earphones he'd love you. if you consider this get skullcandy earphones, they're the best. im 14 and everyone has an ipod where i live; i got one last year and it was the best present i've ever gotten besides my ps3 and xbox.

if he doesn't have call of duty: black ops or mw3 you could get him that (though he probably already has it), but ask him if he likes it first. don't waste your money. another good game is assassin's creed 3 and elder scrolls: skyrim on xbox 360. this is my personal opinion but don't get mass effect 3 (a game that came out recently). the endings are terrible. dragonage 1 is a good game, but dragonage 2 is pretty bad. the whole entire time i tried to convince myself that its a good game like the previous but i just couldnt

anyways... i also have a dirtbike and longboard. those are mad fun, but dirtbikes are also like two hundred bucks. if he likes bikes consider a dirtbike or ask him about it

does he have a steam account (Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation (o yea i just copied that right off wikipedia i got swag))? if he does get him a vanilla card and let him buy games on there. i just got metro 2033 and total war on pc and theyre awesome.

if he has a favorite basketball player or something, you could buy a fathead for your son (could be about 100 dollars). thatd be pretty funny if i woke up to a life size michael jordan or on my wall lol id be like damn when did that get there

if he has a favorite book series... check which ones he has and get him the next one. though maybe hes not really into books.

lastly... no kid would mind if u just gave him 100 bucks or a vanilla gift card with 100 bucks on it. that way he could buy anything on like, amazon or something he likes. it gives him choice, so its a great present.

oh, i forgot. if he likes southpark, or family guy, dvd sets are good. just anything of his favorite tv show. southpark ftw

good luck dude, im sure whatever u pick will be good mamacita

Birthday part ideas for a 22 year old woman?
Q. My birthday is in early december. I would like to have a party that doesn't require much money spent yet or food. I was thinking of having people meet at a pool hall and play, ladies can get in for free. And after a few games we go to a bar.

A. Print this articleQuality Time
Not every gift has to be wrapped in box. For some people, the best gift they could receive is quality time. Plan out a day for the two of you centered on the birthday person’s interests. Take time--give the day some thought and do things together that you only wish you had time to do on a normal day. Read her favorite story to her, go for a walk or visit a place you shared a special memory together.

Create a Gift
You can always create a gift from old pictures. Put together a collage or photo book that commemorates your time together in friendship or love. A photo book is a great idea because the individual can always add to the book as the years go by. You can write a note on each page expressing how you feel about him or include inside jokes you may have shared with him.

Make Food
If you know the person’s favorite food, prepare it for her from scratch. The thoughtfulness and time you spend to make the dish just right will mean a lot to her. Even if you’re not an expert chef, the very idea that you cared enough to attempt to make her favorite dinner or dessert will be enough to show your appreciation.

Coffee and Mug
Find a ceramic coffee mug at a discount store and place the person’s favorite coffee beans in it. This will really make the day of a coffee lover. If he’s more of a tea person, stuff the mug with his favorite tea. Write a note to include with the gift and let the person know that you would like to have morning coffee or tea with him. This way, you’re giving a physical gift plus the gift of time.

A Surprise Party
One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is to gather their loved ones in the same room to celebrate her life. You can throw an affordable surprise party by either simply having coffee and dessert or by arranging a potluck. The food is secondary in this venture--it’s the people that make this gift so special and memorable.

Birthday Gift for 84 year old woman?
Q. I have a relative who is going to be 84 years old and she is married and they live in their own home.
This woman has just about everything. I would like to buy her a birthday gift ( $50 US dollars or less). I would like to buy something she does not have. I will not ask her what she would like or need.

A. I love the orchid idea. There are quite a few exotic ones (you could easily spend $50). If you choose that one, make sure to have the florist put it in a pretty pot.

Another idea might be a bird feeder to place near the window of her yard. They offer so many well-made, pretty ones. Don't forget a bag of bird seed, too. Of course, you would hang it for her.


A Christmas Wish List for 14 or 15 year old girl?
Q. I am trying to get great Christmas gifts for my 14 year old daughter but have no idea what is "in." I would like to surprise her, so I don't want to ask her. I am looking for some teen girls to give me a list of what you would love to get for Christmas if you could get anything you wanted. Especially clothes and shoes. I need the name of what it's called. Like denim skirt is too vauge? Is it an Amebercrombie jean skirt that would be best? Thank you for any help you can give me!
Does it have to be a certian type of coach bag or is it ok as long as it has the coach logo?
By the way - thank you to everyone that has responded - you all have great ideas!

A. I'm sure your daughter would love anything from Abercrombie! If you're looking for one big gift, check out their big poofy jackets. I was on the website a few days ago...www.abercrombie.com, click "women" then "outerwear" then "classic jackets" I believe. they're all $200 I believe, but it's a great investment. I know that all my friends got one last year (when I was 14), except me! So guess what I'm asking for this Christmas?? :]

I saw a few people suggest Ipods, but that's also blowing a lot of money. If she already has an Ipod, iTunes gift cards are great. Also, does she like going to the movies with friends? My dad usually gets me a gift card to AMC theaters in my stocking each year, and believe me, I use it!

Also, I saw a few girls mention Dooney & Bourke and Coach bags. I love Coach, but am very reluctlant about spending so much money on something that could be ruined so easily! I love Dooney & Bourke. I have a few bags by them that were under $200. They have a section on their website for items under $100.

For my 15th birthday my Mom bought me this little clutch by them. I bring it everywhere -- it's the perfect size for everything someone my age carries around! Look for the "Large Wristlet." It's only $50! Great deal for D&B.


I hope this helped a bit, it's kind of hard to guess what she would like without really knowing her. But I'm sure she'll love anything you find for her!


Happy Holidays!

Is it bad to be like 13 and still a virgin?

Q. is it? Alot of ppl at my school have all ready had it and one at my school is pregnet and she is 13.

A. Sweetie,

You say "virgin" like it's a bad thing. You are only given your virginity ONCE-- once, in your whole life. Imagine how special something would have to be to only have it ONCE. You get a cake and a birthday every year, you get new clothes for school every fall, you even occasionally get baby siblings or cousins.

Your virginity is something you ought to treasure. The longer you hold onto it, the better off you are. Your friend at school who is pregnant has given away something she can never get back, and that is something that will change the course of her life forever, if she can carry the baby to term (not to scare you, but a lot of times when a girl gets pregnant that young, the baby is premature or stillborn)

So, to answer your question: you hold onto your innocence as long as you can. If you can take it all the way through middle school, you should be proud. If you can take it all the way through high school, which is even harder, you should be even prouder. And if you can manage to get through college and still have your virginity, then you will have given whoever you marry THE GREATEST gift that anyone can give him: the idea that he is SO special, you saved it JUST FOR HIM.

I know how cute boys can be, and how crazy about them we girls can get ~ but trust me, if you let one of them talk you into giving away your virginity, when the guy who's so wonderful that you never even realized that men could be made so perfectly comes along, you are going to want to be able to say to him, "I've waited for you" and be able to prove it.


What can I get a 24 year old for their birthday who is 6 months pregnant ...ideas?
Q. Been holding off for the perfect gift but just can't think of anything. Other than a "snoozle" which is a snake like body pillow to sleep with for support during pregnancy. Anyone have any ideas? I always get her lotions or candles...etc. But, I want to get her something "for her" that she might enjoy during pregnancy...and maybe after. HELP! (she is a good friend but not supper close...)

A. Either one of them:
One Pedicure Session
One facial or Body Massage
Pregnancy and Parenting books
Pregnancy photo session
Pregnancy Pillow
Body care Kit including stretch marks cream.
Maternity outfits.


Trying to get pregnant, need to raise money, any ideas?
Q. My husband and I would like to have a child together, but he had gotten a vasectomy with his previous marriage, so we need to raise the money to have a reversal done. In my search its about 5,000, I need some ideas on what we can do to raise money..... We are saving up, but it would be nice if we could get to our goal faster.

A. Good luck with your fund raising!

Here are my suggestions:
1) Loans - banks and credit card companies (my friend used Capital One but I am not sure if they still have it as this was a few years ago) offer fertility loans with fair interest rates and payment plans. Maybe see if you can borrow from a family member if your credit history is going to prevent you from getting a loan. DO NOT RESPOND TO ANY PEOPLE WHO EMAIL YOU SAYING THEY CAN GET YOU A LOAN - it is a scam and an invitation for identity theft. You need to go with someone you know in real life or a reputable insured bank.

2) Serious budgeting - I also know couples who have taken part time / seasonal jobs to save up for treatments, sold things on ebay etc . . .

3) See if your employer as a flex spending account - you can set aside money tax free for medical things - everything from IVF to prescriptions to eye glasses and medical procedures such as a etc . . .every little bit helps!

4) If you are comfortable, open a pay pal account and ask close family / friends to contribute instead of purchasing holiday gifts / birthday gifts.

5) See if your doctor has a payment plan

Best wishes to you and your husband - I am a firm believer that where there is a will there is a way . . . you can find a way to do this!

What is a good birthday gift for an eleven year old boy?

Q. I'm going to a birthday party for a coworkers son. I would like to know a good gift idea and something not very expensive.

A. Kids at that age are always saving up for some time of game. Put a 20 in a birthday card and I am sure it will be a hit.

What is a good gift to Give a baby/parents for baby's 1st birthday?
Q. I need some good gift ideas to give for a baby boy's first birthday. I do not want to just give some silly toy from target, but I also do not want to spend more then like 30 dollars. It is for coworker's son. I would really like it to be something for them both to enjoy. Ideas please!

A. You could get something engraved from things remembered with his name on it. Maybe a piggy bank? I liked little ride on toys for my kids. You could also get a nice picture frame for the first year or a savings bond. Also, a cute outfit is nice, but doesn't have much meaning. If you aren't close to the coworker or the child, then I wouldn't worry about it being too personal.


What kind of birthday presents can you make out of bacon?
Q. My coworker is in need of ideas for our other coworker's birthday present. I am making him a birthday cake. My coworker asked what kinds of things he likes, and the first thing that came to mind was bacon. What sort of bacony gift can she make to give to him on Wednesday?

Thank you to all who answer. ;)

A. I think a nice gift would be a sportcoat made of bacon. It would be a handsome piece, and he would be very popular with the dogs. Remember to cook the bacon while he is wearing it so that is shrinks to a custom fit. I recently got some good advice on cooking bacon by using only body heat, so let me know if you need tips.

If you are feeling generous, you could also splurge on one of these hats of meat:

What is an average amount and list of what a woman spends each month?

Q. Recently I have been trying explain to my husband that I want to get more things like clothes and highlights.

What are some monthly expenses for a woman. I am 25, so these are not just what a teen might spend. I am talking like pricing of keeping up highlights, nails, blue jeans, make up, face wash, lotions, tanning... things I'm forgetting...
The main reason I am asking... I am a SAHM and have a 6 month old. I have been married nearly 4 years, and I do not feel like I have enough money for me. Meaning, I get $50.00 a week for groceries, diapers, wipes, all the baby food, our food, all clothes my husband's, mine and the baby... i only get my hair cut twice a year, and my husband complains SO much when I talk about a manicure, highlights, new clothes (i've had these forever). I want him to understand that not only am i extremely cheap... someday down the road I don't want to have to be this cheap anymore.

A. Spend your own money on yourself.
Problem solved.

If you are a SAHM then you two should figure out what a reasonable weekly allowance is for both of you.
It's not based on "what you need" it's based on what you can afford and are willing to budget.

We allocate $200 a week to allowance. She gets $120 and I get $80; her allowance is spent on her and the kids that's why its more (ice-cream, trips to the zoo, etc...). If we do something special, like take kids to a carnival, I'll spend some of my allowance on it too and a lot of my allowance is spent on her too ;)
When the kids are a little older we'll pay them their allowance directly and my wife will go back to work and have her own money.
That allowance pays for everything not in the budget. e.g. gifts for birthday parties, gifts for each other etc... If you want something expensive you have to save.

So you get an idea of scale, I make $90k and we live in a small home and both of our cars are now paid off. If your household income is $40k you cannot afford to blow $200 a week.

Get the book in the source and have him read the chapter on material support. "She needs to live comfortably".
Most men, myself included, would live in a box for 10 years if it meant we were millionaire when it was over.
Few, if any, women would be willing to do that.


I had a crazy dream last night. Can anyone tell me what it means?
Q. So my dream started and I'm sitting on the bench watching a basketball game. The coach puts me in but I just keep falling down and when I do get the ball I run the opposite way. This dude in a full tuxedo wearing a monocle walks up and starts beating me with a red and black striped snake. The ref then comes over throws a rat on my chest and kicks me in the junk then I appear on top of a very tall building with Steve Erwin! He hands me a stock certificate for Proctor and Gamble tells me to bet on red and then he puts on a jet pack, grabs me, and flies off. He drops me off at the casino in Widsor and flies off again. I walk into the casino and go to the roulette table. Brad Pitt, Gina Davis, Terrell Owens, Will Smith, and Barack Obama are all there and the just keep beating on black and winning everytime! I walk up and set a $20 on red, they all bet on black and it hits red. I leave it all on red, they all bet black again, and it hits red again. They all walk off except for Barack. I leave it again on red and win again. I do this about 10 more times. Barack then pulls out a bag of weed and gives it to me and he walks off. A casino official walks over to me and hands me a check for $80,000 and a room key. I go to that room and it's a giant suite. I walk in the door a these seven naked chicks walk up and start rubbing me down. I tell them I'm married and they say they know. They point to the bed and my wife is sitting there masturbating. She says, "Happy birthday baby... I know you've always wanted a three way but I thought an nine way was 3 times better" I quickly rip off my clothes and jump in the bed but as soon as I hit the bed I fall through land in a pool full of kids. This beautiful woman walks up to me points at my junk and says what's that?

That's when I woke up!

Some background: I'm 29 and married with a 3-month-old baby girl. I've been married for about 2 and a half years I'm in an ok financial state. My sex life is the best it's ever been. I'm not a big gambler. When I do I play blackjack. I've only played roulette twice. I don't even know what Proctor and Gamble make. I never watched Steve Erwin's show. I played basketball as a kid and wasn't very good. I hate rats and snakes and love monopoly.

Any ideas?
I thought it was kind of weird because I DID in fact remember as much detail as I did!
Also this is 100% true. That's why I'm asking. I have better things to do at 12:45 AM then to make $#!t up! really want to know what this means!

A. One interpretation: You're on the bench, on a team, and coach puts you in play. Coach is father-model. You as father are not doing the team (your family) much good--your energies are running the wrong way, kind of "falling down on the job."

Dude in tuxedo is formal you: "I'm the father." But it's a penguin-type formality, stiff, out-of-place. The red and black snake is male anger, with which he beats you. The referee tells you you're a "rat," and his foot castrationally emphasizes the point. This is your wife's opinion of you as team player, as interpreted or felt by your waking subconscious, which becomes your dreaming conscious, and which is childlike or childish, depending on how you care for and champion it.

After being disappointed, your dreaming conscious shows its addictive nature: whether porn or gambling or etc., you seek self-esteem, endorphin enhancement, via fantastic victory with the "big players" or "big leagues." Some stars and pols are there, and you are given insider advice by one, which enables you to win over everyone, including the President, who hands you a gift of "weed." You receive a specific amount, an "8," which is a number of prosperity, btw, and a key to a room. You find 7 virgins, as it were, Then you say you're married, good move, and they point to your wife, masturbating. She's a bit lower in virtue than you, so masturbating and suggesting a 9-some is in slutty character.

At that point, wife and 7 virgins sound good, this = marriage, and you fall into a family pool. A beautiful woman, i.e. not so masturbatory-needy, points to your manhood, in a question-open way.

Beauty asks of your manhood a higher usage than wife and 7 virgins in a 9-way; it's called being a father, not merely a husband to a horny wife.

This sums up your awareness of your three-month-old as a beautiful woman who does not need your genitalia in the way your wife is entitled to, but needs your manly love to be beautiful without having to be sexualized or become a sex object in order to feel worth $80,000, etc.

"For Men Only" and "For Women Only," Shaunti Feldhahn, would be excellent co-reads for you both.
"Soul Mates and Twin Flames," Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and
"Sexual Force or the Winged Dragon," O. M. Aivanhov, are also worthwhile.

Reviews at http://www.amazon.com

"Bringing Up Girls" and "The New Strong Willed Child," Dr. James Dobson, are also worthwhile.

Gift ideas for my boyfriends 21st birthday?

Q. I have no clue what to get him, he's hard to shop for and has pretty much everything. Any ideas?

A. There are a lot of fun places to shop online... Think Geek has always been one of my favorites when it comes to buying gift for my husband.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/

Another place I look is on http://www.perpetualkid.com

I also like looking on Etsy-- Just search for some of his interests and you can find some fun stuff.


One year when my husband and I were still dating I bought us matching Nerf guns... we usually buy two a year to add to our collection and its become a fun tradition for us. :) Its fun to surprise him when he gets home by shooting him with a dart, lol.

I love making gift baskets and setting themes for them-- you could use one of his favorite shows as a theme. Or even like a Nerf gun theme.

Have fun and be creative :)


What are some good ideas of things to send to my fiance in Iraq?
Q. My fiance was deployed a while ago, I sent him a package with an auto magazine, photo album, some fruit snacks, hand sanitizer.. a few other odds and ends. Does anyone have any good ideas of things to send? Or things that would be useful? I sent him the build a bear with voice recording a couple months ago, and an Easter basket with candy and fun things.. Any other ideas!? Thank you so much for your feedback!

A. I send a package to my husband like every two weeks also when he deploys. I also have an 11 page attachment if you would like it that have different themed care packages that i have put together through hubby's deployments. These theme care packages make it a little more fun to shop for when you have a certain theme in mind. I have used many of them and then you can just talior it to your fiance. Here are some other sites:

Some things I sent hubby:
-summertime I sent a "Summer Fun Box", beach balls, frisbee, stick to door basketball hoop, nerf balls, etc.,
-things and snacks that i knew he would like. I also sent him things that his friends liked to because they didn't get much.
-cd's of his favorite music
-lots of cards and letters
-I also sent him a box full of unused cards such as thinking of you, Christmas Cards, Birthday Cards, Miss you cards, etc., that he could send back home to family and friends. It is hard to find cards there.
-I sent him Cake in A Jar
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1096421/how_to_bake_cake_in_a_jar.html?cat=22
-Sent him themed Care Packages (some can be as cute as you want and some can be as adult as you make it). One time I took a picture of our front door closed from the outside. Then a picture of the front door open and a picture of the floor. Then a picture of my shirt on the floor, then a picture of my shoes on the floor, then my socks on the floor, then my pants on the floor, then took a picture of my bra on the floor, then I took a picture of my undies on the floor, then I took a picture of our bedroom, then I took a picture of just the bed. Then put a little note that said wish you were here, miss you in my bed. Something like that. Remember though to take the pictures while making your way to the bedroom with the stuff on the floor so it looks like you are dropping your colthes on the way to the bedroom.
-Another thing you can do: buy a new pillowcase. Every night before you go to bed, take a shower but leave your hair a little damp before getting into bed. After a week, the pillowcase will smell like you. Package this up in a ziploc baggie and send a note with it "Something to remind you of me".
-Write in a journal. I sent this to hubby after every 2-3 months. Of course he still got plently of cards and letters but the journal was more thoughtful and more personal. I would write in it right before I went to bed. I wrote everything down, just like a regular journal. My feelings, what i did, what I ate, something that was funny to me that day, something that made me think of him that day, that I spoke to so and so, what the kids did, etc.,,. I then sent that to him. You know that sometimes we always don't get that long phone call or forget to tell them certain things by the time we do talk to them. Or letters that we don't want to make to long because we don't have the time. Hubby loved this because he said it still made him feel close to me and the kids even though he was gone for a year.
-Send him a photo album. Include pictures of his family, your family (as long as he likes them), kids, you, friends, his favorite car, his favorite boat, his favorite place to eat, his favorite place to visit, etc., I sent something like this to him and included letters from friends and family. I also put together a photo album every 4 months for him of things the girls and I did.
-Does he need anything for his room: storage containers, shelves, blankets, new sheets, pillows, footlockers (you know those rectangle black ones), a clock, picture frames, towels, washclothes, shower curtains (you would be surpised how yucky the ones they are using are), a foldable chair, a small table, paper plates, cups, silverware, etc.,
-Indivdually wrapped goodies and snacks. This way they stay fresher. this also includes the drink mixes that can be added to water.
-If he has access to a microwave, some microwave treats
-slippers, robe

Hope all is well and that some of these sites are useful. Good luck and have fun.


What should I gift to my grandmother on her birthday?
Q. Well, I want suggestions in Pakistani style so please give me an Idea. She already had stuff like Purse, Clothes, Sandles and other stuff. I dont want to gift some thing special so give a cheap and easy Idea that I can purchase shortly from Market. Dont include edible stuff in answer. She has books too.

A. I think a personalized design portrait is the best gift in this moment. Last month is our 4th wedding anniversary; my husband brought me a portrait with a sentence " Stand by you in the life". It is very touching and memorable to me since it recalled me so much our bittersweet moment in our life. You just simply select the best picture; the words you want to say and the artist will design everything to you. It is very special and unique because they combine graphic design in your portrait, so it completely different from other service just prints your photo on canvas or puzzle. Also, you can choose to print on a card, canvas or wood puzzle. I think it is pretty Cool thing. And all of process is hand-made. I Believe it will be the best precious possession if she receives it.
