Would it be more beneficial to give fruit trees or ducks to a family?

Q. This is the gift ideas from World Vision. I know that fruit provides essential vitamins and nutrients that the families need for both the children and adults alike, but ducks also do that, and they don't have to wait five years before the trees mature enough to make fruit. But a tree would last longer. What do you think?

A. Why don't you let World Vision decide what to give to whom. You just make your donation.

What are some birthday/Christmas ideas for a friend overseas?

Q. I live in the states and I met my boyfriend who lives in England on Xbox over a year ago. I plan to move over but need to save up the money. In the mean time his birthday and Christmas are both coming up in December. We are very close and speak constantly. I am not asking for your opinion on the situation, please, I am an adult. I simply would like to get some inexpensive gift ideas. Please help. Thanks. :)

A. Pack a box with maybe some chocolates that he likes, a card, some kind of Xbox accessories or maybe some funny gag gifts, depending on his personality. He'd probably enjoy trying some 'American' food! I've also found that pictures frames make great gifts -they don't have to have pictures in them,, that way they can use it however they want

What are some good recipes for homemade Christmas gifts?

Q. I am already planning on making fudge, and toffee but would like some more candy or dessert ideas
I am also looking for some gift jar ideas/recipes. I already plan on one for chocolate chip cookies and homemade hot cocoa. I would really like a good recipe for a blueberry muffin one if you know of any.

I have a large family and want to give each of the adults (24) a gift somewhere along these lines, but I don't want to make all the same things so any ideas?

A. Flavored sugar is a great 'gift jar' gift. I used a spice mill to grind dried lemon, orange, lime peel (separately) and added them to sugar with a drop of food coloring shaken in for effect. I also buy a bag or two of sugar every January and go to the whole foods store and buy vanilla beans (they are cheaper). I make a slit down the middle lengthwise (careful not to go all the way through to the other side) then I place a bunch of these beans in an airtight jar with the sugar and leave it alone until Christmas. Then I put it in jars and give out. The lime sugar and the vanilla sugar seem to be the most appreciated. Especially by tea drinkers and bakers.

You can also take last years fruitcake (you know it lasts forever) and crumble it up. Then, dip your hands in a little water or flavored liqueur and roll into small balls and place in a pan to dry overnight. Then melt some choc chips in the microwave (one bag choc chips and 1 teaspoon Crisco for shine) dip balls and place on wax paper til chocolate sets. This recipe makes fruitcake lovers out of anyone who loves chocolate (esp. the dark chocolate).

What are some fun ideas for a kodak theme sweet 16 party?

Q. The party will be outdoors and in the summer. The people attending will be teenagers and some adults. I need: set up ideas; games; gift bag ideas; etc. Please give any ideas that you have. Thank You!

A. That's a very unusual theme! You might try contacting Kodak and asking if they have posters or ad displays that they could send to you....I'm sure they don't get many requests for them! .... have a bunch of disposable cameras around for guests to take photos ... At a dollar store, you can find little picture frames, disposable cameras for gift bags; and sticker sheets (for scrapbooking) ...
