Answer
Can you find paracord or something similar? http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/paracord-lanyard.html#axzz1XdTCMGLg

If you also are okay with technology, specifically printing photos from the computer - try these magnets with interchangeable heads. http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/personalized-fridge-magnets.html You could make everyone in your family into robots.

This is stuff I know you can get at a dollar store - to make "hillbilly wine glasses" - http://www.hometalk.com/activity/111138 Make sure you use glass glue if you can find it.

Or get a cup hook, a piece of wood, a string and a nail. Twist the cup hook into the top, and nail the string to the bottom. On the wood put these instructions:
Weather Forecast Station
Piece of string nailed to a block of wood. Include instructions:
â¢string curling: hot
â¢string wet: raining
â¢string hard to see: foggy
â¢string white: snowing
â¢string smoking: lightning strikes
â¢string moving: windy
â¢string still: not windy
â¢string missing: hurricane, or thieves about

I got this from http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/gag-gifts-to-make.html

Or do you know what a Jacob's Ladder optical illusion toy is? You know, those blocks of connected wood that if you hold them up they unstring in an intriguing way. You can make them out of chocolate! Here's how: http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/jacobs-ladder-toy.html

What to get my friend for her 15th birthday?

birthday gift ideas under $10 image

Q. We used to be really close, but she got more into band and religion as I got into science and sports so we drifted apart. I'm going to her birthday party and I'm on a very tight budget. The only things I really know about her now is that she's afraid of heights, she's extremely picky and snobby, she plays the trumpet, and she wants to be a photographer when she grows up. Any gift ideas under $10?

Answer
A Scrapbook or CD?

What is a good gift for my 2 year old daugther's birthday?

HoosierMom

Need a lot of gift ideas from cheap ($10 or so) to about $50 -- lots of family coming to the party.
She likes stuffed animals, but she has way too many of them. She also likes little play balls and loves to color.

I'm not a big fan of "character" toys, and would probably return anything "character".

Answer
bubbles with non-spill holder, wooden blocks, something for the balls to ride on (like a track that's flat on the floor), alphabet or number foam play mats (they're like a big puzzle), books with hidden pictures under flaps, chalkboard or whiteboard with chalk and erasable markers, Magnadoodle

How about some Little Tikes toys?
a basket (and small ball) for her to shoot her balls into ($29.99):
http://www.littletikes.com/Toys/Toys-Detail.aspx?Product_ID=2680&Description=TotSports%e2%84%a2+Easy+Score+Basketball+Set+

http://www.littletikes.com/Toys/Toys-Detail.aspx?Product_ID=2471&Description=Easy+Store%e2%84%a2+Jr.+Play+Table+

What are some good ideas for a fun and unique 1st birthday gift for a little girl?

birthday gift ideas under $10 image

I'm going to my friend's daughter's 1st birthday party in two weeks and am looking for a gift that is a little different than just getting an outfit at Gymboree or a run-of-the-mill toy. Any ideas or suggestions on websites to check out?

Answer
Yay! I've been looking for a question like this one to answer! :) I think I've got a good idea for you. The product is called "Bebe Doos Perfect Ponies." It's a headband with ponytails attached. (No, not a wig, just an accessory.) The ponies are tied with colored bows of your choice and have a swarovski crystal in the middle. I know it sounds crazy, but at least check out some of the photos on one of the websites (the Facebook page has a lot):

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bebe-Doos-Perfect-Ponies/304137350028 (Facebook Page)
www.bebedoos.com (this one's under construction, though)
http://www.artfire.com/users/BellaAspire (You can buy them at this website)
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33273140 (Or this one)

Here's the description from the website:
_________________________

Bebe Doos© Perfect Ponies
These baby pigtails with headband, give baby girls a new cute look. They are the most unique new baby accessory. Bebe Doos© Perfect Ponies are so much fun! These fake hair headbands actually look very natural. Most people believe it's their real hair! Watch "18 Kids & Counting" to see Jordyn Duggar wearing our Ponytail/ Pigtails Headband. Also seen in Oct 2009 People Magazine on Jordyn Grace Duggar. This ponytails/pigtails headband started as a fun little project and now has grown to a great little business. They are now sold in 7 states and 12 Boutiques. To see a list of stores that carry them visit: www.BebeDoos.com. Bebe Doos© Perfect Ponies is PATENT PENDING. They have also been safety tested and passed all new baby product laws. These ponytail headbands come in 3 hair colors: Blonde (lightest), Frosted (medium & matches most babies) and Dark Brown (Darkest). The ribbon is available in several colors: White, Black, Shocking Hot Pink, Pink, Lavender and for a limited time Red. If there is another color you would like, special orders are available. When ordering please specify which color combination you would like. Every Ponytail Headband will come on a white band that is 14" long relaxed, this lace elastic band is soft and easily stretches to fit a two year old...maybe even three! :)Thanks for looking!!! :) www.BebeDoos.com

Please do not forget to include your choice of BOTH, the Hair color AND the Ribbon color for your order! =)
_________________________

We purchased these after seeing them on 18 Kids and Counting. (Jordyn Duggar wears them.) They are absolutely adorable! Our 10 month looks so cute in them and they really match her hair color.

These work for babies with not a lot of hair or a head full of hair. The creator of these says that the headband could even stretch to fit a two or three year old. It would be perfect for a one year old! This is a really cute and defintely unique gift! I really hope this works out for you! :)

How can I have a lowkey first birthday party for my daughter?

tinakay_83

I am throwing a lowkey party tomarrow for my daughter's first birthday and I need some ideas for easy games or activities to keep my friends and family entertained. There will only be about 10 people there and only a couple kids 3 and under.

Answer
Go for it! We did the exact same thing 6 months ago for our daughter's one year old birthday, for a number of reasons. We had mostly adults and preferred to put the money we DID have into something that would mean more to her (her first bank account).

So, we had a backyard party, with balloons and streamers, plastic tablecloths, and pin the tail on the donkey! We also played musical chairs and karaoke. Instead of favor bags, I bought actual gifts for the few children that were there, and gave it to them as their game prize (we made sure each child won a game). The adults had fun helping the children "win", but they also joined in playing musical chairs, 3-legged relays, and playing cards. We had a potluck and individual cupcakes and ice cream cups to simplify things. We bought her a small, personal cake so that she could blow out the candle (which she was too irritated to do). She opened gifts then everyone left.

It came down to the family getting together and having a good time with each other.

Any ideas about what to do after food at a dinner party (games etc)/ general suggestions for during the party?

luckylady1

It is my birthday dinner and will be at my house, I'll be 17 and there are around 10-15 people coming.
It is my first time hosting a dinner so I'm new to this!
I'd just like any suggestions for any fun/different things that can be done during or after the food.
Any nice food/drink ideas are welcome too!
Thanks.

Answer
Happy birthday! Here are some ideas you might think about:

1. Since you are hosting a dinner, why not invite a local chef or culinary student to come and provide a "cooking lesson" and tasting for you and your guests? A "hands on" affair will allow all guests to help prepare the meal and can be fun.
2. Have your own "birthday card", giant poster that guests can sign when they come in. A nice momento!
3. Gift bags for guests are a must: for the ladies, nail polish, bath gel, fizzy bath balls, gift cards etc. are in order. For the guys, aftershave, lotions, gift cards etc.
4. Giving back: Have a theme of your party about also giving back to the community. Instead of gifts, have guests bring food items for your local food bank. Plan on bagging things up and delivering them either during the party (or maybe have them picked up?) or the next day.
5. You're never to old for a pinata. And, since you get to fill them yourselves, you can add what kind of candy and surprises you want to the insides.
6. Games: Pictionary, Clue, etc. are great. Or get a Wii and have a contest playing guitar!
7. Plan for an evening at a skating rink or the zoo! Or go to a play/musical or to a club for "under 21's" later in the evening.
8. Create your own "cakes" by making cupcakes and letting everyone decorate their own. Have a contest and winner gets a prize.

At any rate, have fun!
