Q. My friend is graduating college this week and traveling around Europe for 5 weeks. I'd like to get her a small gift that she can use on her trip, but I'm at a loss. She's carrying everything with her in a backpack and staying in hostels. I've already gotten her a book on traveling Europe and she has all her basic necessities. Any ideas on something small I could get her?
A. Found this, Should be helpful:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Active Aries is always looking for ways to stay in shape, particularly during the holiday season... so athletic equipment is usually a good choice. People born under this sign are also fond of the color red, so a cranberry scarf or a scarlet hat could win their favor. If romance is in the air, let Aries know that you put his or her needs first. Buy tickets for two to a sporting event you loathe... or a CD by an artist you can't stand... to win big points with your favorite Ram.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus appreciates any gift that appeals to his or her sensual side. A box of gourmet chocolates, a richly colored tapestry or a soft cashmere blanket are all great options for Bulls. This sign also enjoys having money to play with, so a gift certificate to their favorite store is a welcome option. Always remember that quality is more important than quantity � Taurus would rather have a small bottle of expensive cologne than a carafe of the cheap stuff.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Quick-witted Geminis enjoys gifts that appeal to their sizable intellects. A challenging book is always welcome, as is a magazine subscription. This sign rules the hands, so some scented hand lotion or a sparkling ring might delight. Geminis also love to entertain, so a set of glassware might fit the bill. If you want to splurge on a special Twin, give them the latest cell phone or PDA, so they can keep in touch with their gazillion friends.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Sentimental Cancer loves gifts that have personal meaning. Handmade items always delight, whether it's a finger painting, angora sweater or mincemeat pie. This sign also has a special affinity for silver � a monogrammed hand mirror or picture frame would be very well received. Since Crabs have an affinity for liquids of all kinds, a special bottle of wine, a fancy cappuccino maker or a shiny tea kettle are also good possibilities. And don't forget that these Moon children love the domestic arts � a cookbook specializing in comfort food is another sure winner.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Lions love gifts that make them look and feel terrific. Hair accessories, cosmetics and grooming items are all good choices for this image-conscious sign. Leos love drama, and enjoy presents that involve a bit of flair. Opera tickets, gold jewelry or animal print lingerie are right up this cat's alley. Leos also love to gamble, so a sheaf of lottery tickets or a weekend getaway to the casino could make them purr with delight. When shopping for clothing, remember that Lions have a special affinity for red, gold and purple.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgins love practical gifts...so avoid dust-catching baubles. A bread-making machine or a power drill would be equally welcome. These folks are also known to pride themselves on their impeccable appearance. Scented soaps, lotions and shampoos made by an earth-friendly company might be just the ticket. Virgos are also incredibly organized and might appreciate a good watch or a leather-bound date book. Or try a health-conscious basket of organic foodstuffs.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Librans have a special affinity for music, and always appreciate a good CD to add to their voluminous collection. If you want to do something really special for a Libran friend, splurge on a two concert tickets � this sign hates to do anything alone. Born beneath the sign of the scales, they also need plenty of balance in their lives, so a pair of candlesticks or bookends might appeal. If you're still stumped for ideas, have a lavish bouquet of red roses delivered accompanied by a loving handwritten note.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpions are secretive by nature and enjoy gifts that obscure their appearance in some way. A pair of designer sunglasses, a filmy scarf or a slouchy hat are all great choices for this sign. These mystery-lovers also enjoy moody, atmospheric stories. A collection of film noirs on DVD are sure to go over well with your favorite Scorpion. The rumors concerning this sign's sexual appetite are happily true, so seductive lingerie would get plenty of use. Since Scorpions also like to get beneath the surface; a gift certificate for a deep-cleansing facial will be appreciated.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
As far as Archers are concerned, half the fun of getting gifts is ripping them open! If Sag doesn't like a present, though, he or she will tell you outright. Avoid awkward scenes this holiday season by giving this outdoor enthusiast some camping equipment. Hiking boots or a water-proof parka would also be appropriate. These animal lovers adore any gift associated with their pets. A calendar filled with pictures of dogs or horses is sure to elicit a big smile. Finally, you can always feed this sign's wanderlust with a comprehensive atlas.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Career-oriented Capricorn always enjoys gifts that will boost their job status. A leather laptop carrier or monogrammed briefcase would be welcome. Contrary to popular belief, though, Goats aren't all work and no play. This sign is blessed with a wicked sense of humor, so try the BBC's "The Office" series on DVD. Capricorns also love luxurious presents they'd never buy for themselves, like a silk bathrobe.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
You never know what this unpredictable sign will be doing from moment to moment � one week it's skydiving and the next it's yoga! Still, this quirky sign always appreciates technological gadgets, whether it's an all-region DVD player or an iPod Nano. If you'd like to choose something a little more personal, why not make a photo album detailing all of your exploits with the Water-Bearer? Aquarius may not show it, but they harbor a special fondness for their friends. Still stumped for ideas? A basket filled with brand new socks is both weird and practical enough for this sign, which rules the ankles.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
These mystics love gifts of all kinds, but especially ones that help them escape the harsh realities of life. A bottle of champagne, a kaleidoscope or a book of fairy tales will appeal to your Fishy friends. And because Pisces is a Water sign, it's a good bet they'll appreciate bath salts, foaming cleansers and shower gels. If you'd like to give something really special, a digital camera will make a bit hit with this natural-born photographer. Looking for a romantic gift? Choose a gilt-edged volume of love poetry.
Cheers!

I need good ideas for homecoming to raise money help?
Q. So next year I a running for homecoming queen at my school. I need some cheap ideas to raise money. Something that doesn't cost a lot of money on my part. But can raise a lot of money. I would love love love any help or ideas from anyone! thanks!
A. In Jr. High for student council, we held a best legs contest. Get a handful of guys and take a picture of their legs. Get guys with really toned athletic legs, super hairy legs, shaved legs and very fat legs. If you can, get a few guy teachers or your principal involved. Tape the pictures to a bucket and don't include names. Don't say that there are guy teachers, because it's more fun when they win. Put the buckets somewhere that's easily accessible, but also supervised, so no one steals the money. And 1 cent = 1 vote. So $1 = 100 votes.
If you have a pep assembly or something coming up in a few weeks, announce the winner there. We made little Miss America sashes for the top 3, and gave a gift basket of shaving items to the winner (You might want to check about razors with the administration). Very funny because the winner ended up being our 300 pound band director.
Or if that's a little too elaborate, sell gum in class. I sell mine for a buck a pack, but you could go up to $1.50 Sell the good stuff, 16 sticks a pack kind. I find that more unusual flavors like Watermelon, Tropical, and fancy mint flavors sell the best, but Spearmint and Winterfresh are also good contenders. I buy my gum at Wal-Mart in the three packs in the candy section. Stick with Trident at 1.75. Or wait until other brands go on sale. I never spend more than $2 for a three pack. If your business starts to get going, you can get 10 packs of individual flavors for $7-$9 at Sam's Club. And keep a fairly good selection in a ziploc bag in your purse. Also keep a separate bag for the money so you keep your profit separate from your spending money. So if anyone in the class asks "Hey, do you have some gum I could have?" Be like, "I am selling some for a dollar a pack to raise money for homecoming queen" You could also put signs up around school.

Any ideas on how to get my dogs involved with crafts for Christmas gifts?
Q. This is an odd question, I know. But my mother in law really loves crafts, and our three dogs. I was thinking about getting our dogs involved in making stuff for her for a Christmas present. Maybe have them put their paw prints all over something with paint or something. But I can't think of any good ideas. I tried looking it up online, but couldn't find anything. Apparently this is a weird idea! Any awesome ideas? I'd love the help. Thanks!!
A. that is a great idea for christmas! i love arts and crafts myself and also have 3 dogs!
here are a few ideas i thought of:
paw prints:
-on a picture frame
-candle
-shirt
boxers/shorts
-blanket
-pillow case
-buy a wood chair and decorate it and put the paw prints on it
-flower vase
-magnet
-door hanger
-make paw print ornaments
-put paw prints on a gift box, with present inside.
-stocking
-- buy some sort of dog statue or something similar and put each dogs paw print on it
--dip paws in a cement thing that u can buy from a craft store so you can cherrish it forever (wash paws off immediately)
get the dogs all dressed up in christmas sweaters, with collars with bells on them, take pictures, and put in a paw printed photo frame.
you can also easily make your own bell collar, just go buy a cheap collar from the dollar store, and sew as many bells on as you want, but be careful so the dogs dont chew them! only recommend the collars be on while u are able to keep an eye on them, take collars off when u arent able to.
hope u like some of my ideas! sounds like its going to be fun!!!!

What would be a good idea for a 25th anniversary gift that involves engagement photo wedding invitation and?
Q. a recent photo of them i was thinking about like the invitation in the middle and it all be framed but i need some ideas i want it to be special and unique please help????
A. You could do a trifold picture frame.
It is all in the matting for the pics and the invitation. Do some research, and see what you might like, and consider getting it done professionally.
There used to be 2 frame shops here is town, they are both long gone, all we have close is Hobby Lobby and Michael's. Give them both a visit, and wait for coupons, Michael's has sales on framing a lot. sign up for their e-mails.
And both craft stores sell frames and matting for you to do that yourself.
Perhaps choose the frame about where they got married, or the style of the wedding. did they get married by the beach for example, or live by one now. Do the frames in a beach theme.
