16th birthday gift ideas for my best friend! Help!?

*luckylu*

My best friends 16th birthday is coming up, we've been best friends for almost 5 years and I want her gift to be something awesome but not too expensive. Nothing like a picture frame with a cute picture of us or a scrapbook or anything like that, that's too common. I need a cute idea, hope you all can help!

Answer
Does she like cute and fun items, plus getting lots of stuff in the mail?
You could get her a subscription to a gift package service. She'll get a fun surprise package in the mail each month and each time its full of exciting surprises!

The name of the company is fair ivy surprise package subscriptions. i get them from my friend and love them :) I love waiting for mail....plus it feels like she's giving me a gift every month!

UNIQUE gift ideas for my BEST friend for her birthday?!?

!!!!!!

Answer
Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:

Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!

The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.

Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.

Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

What to make my college brother for Christmas?

birthday gift ideas by mail image

goosegirl

My brother's a college freshman this year, and I'd like to make him something really nice for Christmas because he gave me a really special birthday gift. I don't want to just buy him some electronic or anything- I want to give him a personal gift. But I don't have any ideas. I thought about making him a quilt, but I can't sew. I thought about making him one of those tie-fleece blanket things, but they look too feminine.

Any ideas? Please help me!

Answer
The cookies of the month idea is a good one, or fruit of the month or something else if cookies or things like "quick breads" aren't suitable for him.
Quick breads btw also mail well and last awhile (e.g., banana bread, zucchini bread or even zucchini chocolate bread, pumpkin bread, apple quick bread, etc are some of the sweet versions):

As for the tied fleece blankets, they certainly don't have to look feminine if you choose the colors/patterns carefully. Instead of flowers or "youth-oriented" images and instead of bright or purple/pink/etc. colors, just get him more-neutral colors, perhaps a pattern instead of "images," etc. (If he has a particular interest like sports or outdoors, etc., you could try and find fleece or fleece blankets in that motif since there are loads of fleece patterns at fabric stores available these days.)

You can do the ties, or you could also just sew two of the blankets or equivalent yardage of fleece together around the perimenter near the edge, or do that leaving a gap then turn the two inside out and sew the gap closed by hand, or add a binding to one rectangle of fleece (or two-attached) again in a neutral color perhaps, etc.

Another simple but homemade way to finish the edges would be to do a "blanket stitch" all the way around with some perl cotton cording/thread just to give the blanket a little more decorative look. You could make the stitches any size you wanted and use any color you want so that the stitching would be very subtle or very visible.
(Fleece doesn't ravel so actually nothing is needed on the edges, but anything you put there may keep the edges from curling inward a bit).

There are some examples of various colors of blanket stitch on the edges of fleece in this search, as well as lessons:

What's the most effective way to send a package from the Philippines to Costa Rica?

Q. I'm trying to send a birthday gift to a friend in Costa Rica. I've been checking out the internet on tips how to send packages to Costa Rica and the help I found haven't been that helpful. Please can anyone give me advice? I really don't want this package to get lost, as it has great sentimental value in it.
@clncarplz I've already talked to LBC and they can't deliver to Costa Rica, cause i'm also including a Mike Posner Album in the box.

A. I have always gotten packages mailed within the postal service without any problems. If your friend has a apartado (PO Box) that is good and it can be sent directly to there. If not, you might arrange for them to pick the package up at the post office if there near a town that has one. I use to do that before getting a box. Sometimes route carriers may not be as trustworthy as we wish. I had those packages sent to Lista de Correo to their name. They have to provide proof of who they are to receive it.

You will be asked to value your package... sometimes taxes are paid on things received. Value it low.... most people have no idea what you pay for things up there. The less the package weighs, the better. Or send it in two parts.

If you wish otherwise, the other comments here are fine. Just more costly... but faster. From Miami, its usually about 8 to 10 days. However, just so you know I got a Christmas card marked December 22 on July 4 ! That is highly unusual.
