Q. i have about 80 bucks and i want to buy a little something for my mom, dad, 22 year old sis, 17 year old bro, 13 year old sis, 12 year old sis, 10 year old sis and my boyfriend!! what can i do??
A. I would say for your mom or oldest sister, if they like to decorate their homes, get them an air plant terrarium. Air plants (also called tillandsias) are very easy to care for and don't require soil so they can be displayed in really unique ways. If your sister has an apartment or dorm they are great for that, but I got one of the hanging terrariums for my mother in law and she LOVES it and always gets compliments. I got it from Air Plant Design Studio, most of the kits are under $20 and many even under $10...but they look like they cost a lot more ;) They even have this cute sea urchin shell/air plant combo for like $9.
For the younger teen girls, how about a cool nail polish? Also check stores like Marshalls or TJ Max especially the clearance section as they often have fun designer cosmetics or little accessories for $5 or so.
For your boyfriend, how about a "gift certificate" to do something he would like to do with you. It could be a date to go somewhere fun and cheap, a dinner you cook for him with his favorite foods, etc...that way it's cheap, meaningful, and you get to spend time together!
For your dad, you could maybe give him a "gift certificate" to wash his car or help clean the garage -- something you don't normally do but you know he would appreciate.

Gifts for relatives?
Q. We have no idea what to buy our fathers as gifts. We bought both of our mothers jewelry already. Our budget is 1800 per father.
They both have several nice watches already, and for our budget even from tiffany's we would end up getting like three pairs of cufflinks, which neither of them wear anyway.
Also my grandmother who we have a budget of 1500. She doesn't really need anymore jewelry she has way way too much, like 2 standing jewelry cases. What else is good for an 80 year old woman?
No but we saved much more then we needed for our wedding about 115,000 we ended with a 75,000 wedding 20,000 honeymoon.
So we figured that this would be nice a nice opportunity to buy our family nice gifts and not go out of our yearly budget for gifts. We are a very exact type of couple. We have budgets for everything so they aren't getting things like this again haha.

I am sorry if you think I am boasting I don't mean to, rather I am trying to get help with a problem I am having. I was thinking that's what this board is for.
Or is this only for people in a certain tax bracket??
But as long as we are swinging insults I donate about 15% of my yearly earnings to charity how about you?
I simply gave my situation and asked for some answers, and I sincerely thank everyone for their answers.

A. I kind of agree with the scrapbook idea-- I've always found that the perfect gift for someone who has everything is sentimental. But since you have a pretty big budget for spending, how about adding a few extra albums onto your wedding photography package? Or sending pictures to someone and having them make a professional scrapbook?? That way, it will look VERY nice, and you won't have to worry about duplicating a piece of jewelry, or finding something your 80-year-old grandma will enjoy.
What to get Mom for mothers day?
Q. Im 14 years old and all the past mother days have sucked. It would be like candles and a bunch of useless crap. And the reason for that is because she takes us to the Dollar General to find her a present. And this year I want to go to somewhere like Walmart or Target to find a present. Im not getting no necklace, flowers, none of that stuff. She has a B*T*C*HY husband who everyone hates and he does absolutely nothing for no one. Hes practicalluy a guest in the house. I want to get her a new phone, but then that requires me driving to the store with her husband who I HATE SO MUCH.
Any really good ideas? I guess I could possibly consider jewelery, but I dont want to go over like 80$
She usually gives us 25 dollars each, (me and my sister) but we always spend it sepratley. I have 15 dollars so that brings me at 35, but I plan on withdrawing 20$ from my account so I'll have 55 to spend on her. Shes a really deserving mother. And her life is hard (bc of her basta**rd of a husband) and I want to get her a really nice gift. Ideas??!!?!?!

A. I agree that candles, necklaces, and flowers are pretty typical gifts. Typical enough that they've become pretty undesirable to almost any mom, in my opinion.
About the phone... you could order one from online. For example, if you have AT&T, you could look around eBay or amazon.com for new phones that you don't need to buy a plan for. With Verizon, you'd have to look at their online store (since they don't have SIM cards), but request that the phone have your mother's number on it. (Make sure it won't be activated until she gets it for Mother's Day! Otherwise she may figure out what you got for her.)
You could also customize a pair of shoes on Zazzle.com, if she likes shoes. They have a ton of other things to customize too, like shirts, bags, necklaces, keychains, mugs, aprons, and more. Out of what I listed, the shoes would be the most expensive, but it should stay at your budget.
If you can't shop online, you could create something. Get a plush basket and add a few spa-type items, like bubble bath beads, scented lotions, you know, the works. Something like that.
And one more thing: you'll actually have $60 to spend on her. ;)

A. Buy some art supplies and make her a very personal card (from scratch) with pictures and stuff you've done together, to show your appreciation of her and how strong she is and has been as a mother, and how she motivates you to be a great person and that you wouldn't be where you are today without her strength. I think that would be more meaningful and more precious than any precious metals or gems.
OR you could give her a personally made coupon from you to do the dishes for a month or something like that, and pocket the cash (thats a joke because its not meaningful at all compared to the other idea)
