Christmas Gift List....?

Q. Hello People,
Christmas is on it's way, and I'm getting into the spirit a bit early...
I need to get everyone gifts, of course, but I don't know what, and no one will give me a straight answer.
Could you guess what they would want based on these descriptions, please?
Brother: 9 years old, loves everything technological, bought his own ipad, flatscreen tv, google tv, ipod, psvita, etc...
Stepmother-33, loves gardening and movies
Dad-44, loves everything technological, movies, and cooking. I was thinking of getting him slippers, but he just got a pair...
Mom-46, realtor, always grumpy, loves reading the news...
Cousin-boy, 14, loves video games, tennis, biking, and technology...
Cousin-boy, 14 (they're twins), loves video games, tennis, biking, and a spy tv show...(it's called Nikita, if you know what that is.)
Aunt-49, loves dogs, jewlery making, gardening...
Uncle, 50 (i think), loves sports and cooking...
Aunt, 48, editor for the denver post, loves long walks, and her dogs
Uncle, 50 (i think), loves biking, handyman work, works as an english teacher at a highhschool...
Grandma, 87, pack rat. loves dogs...
Grandpa, 85, recently diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, (this is very likely my last christmas :-( with him ever), he loves to do things. literally, he walks everywhere, built his own boat, put a solar roof on his house, etc...I want to get him something amazing, but i don't have any ideas...a simple idea could help me come up with something.
Grandma, 79, lives in portugal, makes her own jam, very good at bruising herself accidentally, has tons of fruit bushes...
Me- I don't really know what I want, but an idea for the list would be great. I'm 14, Have 4 dogs, love art, dance, and music, love to read (harry potter is my FAVORITE!!), i'm going to be an architect and/or lawyer when I grow up and want to go to harvard...

An idea or two for each person would be awesome!! I'll answer your questions if you link to them :-)
please give serious and thought out answers.
Thank You!!!!
<3,
OB

High quality garden tools can make excellent garden gift ideas, such as small shovels or trowels.

If you like cute jewelry betsy johnson is a great style, you can find really cheap betsy johnson on ebay. esty has good earphone jacks that are a really cute and creative way to embelish your ipod. Fuzzy socks are a must have! Juicy coture charms/perfume are adorable! (cheapest on ebay) Princess vera and lauren conrad has alot of cute dresses. If your a twilight fan they are also selling twilight perfume. nomorerack.com also has really good deals. There is also a new wii u comming out, which sounds fun. Beauty products are really great, too. I personally love the Jafra sugar cookie body butter (or any jafra body butter) If your a reader you would enjoy the nook hd tablet (they are really nice) Also the sephora eye shadows are really good :) hope this helps

Nikki R


i need some creative xmas gift ideas for
--my bf(of 1 year)
--my mom
--my 15 yr old bro
--my bff(18 yrs old)


i already have sum ideas but im curious of everyone elses ideas. thanx!
: )



Answer
For your boyfriend...

How about a promise ring? Or if you're not into that sort of thing, just a casual ring for him to wear. Have something nice engraved on the inside of the band. Like both of your initials together, or the date you started going out, or maybe a lyric from your relationship song. If he's not into rings, maybe a dog tag necklace, a bracelet, or a watch? Either way you go, jewelry can be very special when engraved.

You could get him a nice picture frame with your best picture together in it. The store Things Remembered has some lovely frames.

Here's the link to the store's website:

http://74.205.7.102/ThingsRememberedNew/search.aspx?SH=A%3dframes%7eB%3dframes%7eD%3d20%7eK%3d4%7eL%3d1%7eM%3d6%7e&SI=a9b4d874-b1f5-499d-b55e-989e2cc4af34&LAP=0&Action=2&AnswerID=438&QID=397

Another great idea would be to do the 365 things I love about you. That's one reason per every day of the year! It's very romantic and a perfect way to express your feelings towards someone. You write out the reasons either in a book, or on small pieces of paper which you can put in a nice box or jar. If you can come up with that amount of reasons - then you truly love that person. Personally, I LOVE this idea and am starting on doing it for my boyfriend.

Make him up a stocking as a side present. Include boxers, cologne, candy, and various other small gifts. If you're in a sexual relationship and feel comfortable, you could add some sexy lingerie at the bottom. Also, you can make home-made coupons for various things of your choice.

Here's a link with coupon ideas: (you can print them out)

Groomsmen Gift Sunglasses?




Drew R


I am thinking of getting my groomsmen Ray Ban sunglasses as the Groomsmen Gift. Do you think this is a good idea. My thinking is no one ever buys themselves a nice pair of sunglasses. If not do think this is a good idea do you have any other suggestions? I want to get my guys something nice. And I thought if I got sunglasses we could all wear them together for one of the pictures.


Answer
this is a GREAT idea and it will make for very nice pictures! we took pictures (girls and guys) with shades on, and one of our favorite pictures is the groom and ushers w/sunglasses giving a 'tough' guy look.

we gave away personalized chuck taylor all star shoes for our groomsmen. this allowed for some really fun pictures too! At www.Converse.com you can choose different colors for each part of the shoe, and have a name on the back.

What was the best groomsmen gifts you ever saw or received?




epy


My fiancé is looking for something great to give his groomsmen that they will actually use and appreciate. They are all really fun guys who love music and they all do drink but we'd like to get them something original. Not just a money clip, flask or cuff links...any ideas? If you found a good website let me know too.


Answer
My husband gave his groomsmen nice pocket/hunting knives engraved with their names. They all loved them! Just keep in mind that if any of them are flying home, they won't be able to take a knife home in their carry-on luggage, so you might want to provide them with a padded envelope and postage so they can mail it home.

Good DIY Craft Mason Jar gift for 10 year old girl?

Q. Hi! I would like to make a craft kit of sorts for a 10-year-old girl in a mason jar (preferably the 4 oz jar). The only thing I can think of is a bracelet kit with beads and string. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!


Answer
I just made a hot chocolate mix with snowman marshmallows peering out from the jar. The 10yo I gave it to loved it. I included the recipe. There are also cookies in a jar mixes that might be good for her. Again include the recipe.

Here's an example of the hot chocolate and snowmen in a jar:

Here's some cookies in a jar mix:

http://www.midgetmomma.com/2013/12/18/christmas-cookies-jar/

30th birthday gift ideas...?

Q. I originally wanted to get my best friend 30 individually wrapped things (small little things) for her birthday but I think it'd be better if i broke it down into 3 gifts; one for each decade of her life. The only problem I have is what to get her... maybe a gift representing her first 10 years ... perhaps candy or a doll...... then her second decade 10-20... (this is where I'm stuck)..... and from 20-30.......i've got a few things in mind but wanted to see if anyone has anything to throw into the pool of ideas. Or if not the 3 decades then anything else you might think would be nice for her 30th would be appreciated ^_^ i sill love the 30 things to unwrap but would that be too much? hmmm....


Answer
Mabey her second decade could have her favorite movie or song . You could also do a This is Your Life kind of thing where you do a whole picture collage of her throughout the years and top it off with someone giving out a story about her at that time in her life. Then just give her a Doll from the 80's (Cabbage Patch), Favorite movie- a 90's movie mine is (Dante's Peak), and Now-(whatever you think she likes now). Mind you these are just ideas. I know her taste differs than mine. I'm 33, so we aren't that far in age.

What are some great gift and party ideas for my wife's 30th birthday?




dug_amy





Answer
Hi
don't give her an appliance as these are like saying here this will make thing's a lot easier around the house.Something just meant for her is so much nicer, jewellery ,gift voucher's for lingerie, a day being pampered.Here are some examples of theme's for birthday parties.
I went to a 60's birthday bash and the entertainment was live with song's from the 60's era and we were dressed to kill in the 60's garb.( Think fancy dress,a reunion, base the food around what ever it is the party theme is focused on. Memories, what year it was what food ?).You could invite 30 of her best and dearest friend's/family, have 30 of her favourite food's, thirty chinese lantern's or candles set around the area set for entertainment (be safe here) get my drift?
I also went to a birthday party and the theme was cocktail's. Dress was evening wear, guests were limited so only those who meant alto to the person were invited, never mind if friend's were single and couples. A few women from the local play centre/school were asked if they would like to earn some extra money by preparing what was on the menu (finger food's such as mussels in shell, prawn's wrapped in pastry funnel's, fresh bread ham on the bone and condiment's anything you desire(this is only an example).Dont forget something to go with coffee and tea for those who may have done with the alcohol.Oh and non alcoholic drink's..Hope this is of help to you.

Q. Please suggest some recipes which are popular with kids and quick to make... right from welcome drinks to starters to main dish to dessert.....games which can be played indoors...return gifts which are of good use to the kids....thanks

(28 minutes ago )


Answer
Theme: Farmer in the Dale or Old Mcdonald's farm with apporate songs
Dirt Cake
"Kids love dirt. Can be made in a large flower pot or 2 small flower pots."

INGREDIENTS:
1 (20 ounce) package
chocolate sandwich cookies
with creme filling
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream
cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant
chocolate pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen
whipped topping, thawed
15 gummi worms

DIRECTIONS:
1. Put the cookies in a food processor and process until they become fine crumbs. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the butter or margarine, cream cheese, confectioners sugar and vanilla flavoring. Beat on low speed to mix then beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the chocolate pudding mix and milk to the bowl. Beat on low speed to combine.
3. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture with a rubber spatula.
4. Assemble in the ungreased 9x13 inch pan in layers as follows: first layer, 1/3 cookie crumbs; second layer, 1/2 pudding mixture; third layer, 1/3 cookie crumbs; fifth layer, 1/3 cookie crumbs.
5. Tuck the ends of gummy worms in the cookie "dirt". Be sure to have a worm on each piece. Store in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Cut into 15 squares, or serve with a clean garden trowel or a toy sand shovel if serving in the flower pot.

Mystery Paint
Materials:
baking soda
water
paper
paintbrush
food color of choice

Steps:
Just mix equal parts baking soda and water, then paint a message on a piece of paper. Let dry for an hour.Mix water with a little food coloring. Paint over dried mixture and your message will be revealed.

Bubble Wands

Blowing the perfect bubble depends on equal parts science and magic.
With a few twists of wire, you can make fantastic bubble wands and spend long, lazy days practicing your technique.

The best bubble solution is 10 cups water to 4 cups dish-washing liquid, plus 1 cup Karo corn syrup. For large wands, youâll need plastic-coated wire coat hangers and either floral netting or plastic-coated chicken wire. Hold the hook at the top of the hanger, and pull the bottom down so that it forms a circle. Cut away the hook and twisted neck of the hanger with wire cutters; you should have about a 31-inch length of wire. With needle-nose pliers, twist a tiny hook into one end of the wire. Bend that end around, and hook it on the wire about 9 inches from the opposite end, forming a 7-inch-diameter circle. Squeeze the hook with pliers to fasten, and straighten the end to form a handle. Cut an 8-inch-diameter circle of floral netting. With pliers, fold the nettingâs edge tightly around the frame, snipping off any sharp ends. For small wands, use 18-gauge cloth-covered wire cut to a length of 15 inches. Bend the wire into a lollipop shape, securing the end of the wire where the loop meets the handle with a dab of glue. To make a star, divide the circle into five even increments, then crimp with pliers. To make a heart, crimp only the top center of the circle. A tin can, with its top and bottom removed, also makes great bubbles-carefully trim any sharp edges, dip one end in solution, and pull through the air to make one long bubble.

any awesome x-mas ideas for a 9 year old boy?




Harmony


something to keep him occupied over the winter?
cheap or expensive, i just need some ideas. i have no idea what to get or what to tell family to get.



Answer
I have a 10 year old daughter and 8 year old son (and a baby as well).

I can tell you that a Wii is AWESOME! They are a bit pricy and can be hard to find, but it is an outstanding experience. My children can get a workout indoors, playing the boxing that comes on the Wii Sports disc (included with the system)-there is also baseball, bowling, tennis and golf on that included disc.

Both of my children want a Nintendo DS for Christmas. I am not sure they are getting them-in fact, they are probably not-but I have seen them in bundles in the stores, with games and such included.

My son LOVES anything related to carss, and the Hot Wheels Trick Tracks (might be spelled Trax) are at the top of his list. There are three or four different sets, that I know of, and they cost about $10 each.

My son has play carpets to use his car own, with roads, construction sites, etc. I have seen them at Wal Mart, but Toys R Us has them and the best ones I have found were at Home Depot (in the rug area).

Transformers are another favorite of my son, but be careful-I have bought several transformers that did not transform.

Board games. There is one called Gassy Gus that you can find at Books A Million and online. You are trying to feed Gus foods that will not make him explode, so while it is a bit appaling it is educational in a way that will keep children interested. Of course, the standard's are good-Operation now comes in a variety of versions including Junkyard Jalopy (car related), Shrek, etc.

Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs should never be overlooked, as well as Mega Blocks/Legos. My son will build entire towns with these for his cars to ride through. It really is educational and entertaining.

How about a science kit? Magnets, Chemistry-if you have a store called Wonder Works near you, or Hobby Town USA you will find things like this that will keep him busy. Ask family for gift certificates to such places, and he can pick his own.

Books! Boys tend to not enjoy reading as much as girls, but there are a lot of good books out there that can make it more appealing to them. Find books based on soemthing he is interested in, or a magazine subscription (Your Big Backyard and Ranger Rick are both nature/animal related, Highlights for Children has a lot of activities to keep them busy, National Geographic Kids, Sports Illustrated for Kids, etc. The possibilities are endless).

How about a membership to something he would be interested in? The Children's Museum, karate lessons, swimming (most centers offer it even in winter, the pools are heated) etc.

Other things that my eight year old enjoys or thinks he would enjoy include: a pogo stick, stilts, walkie talkies (go for the 'real' ones that cost $30 or so instead of the toy ones, and even then know that they do NOT get the range they indicate unless you are in an open field/prairie).

His own real tools (miniature versions, but metal not plastic) and the materials to build something-a tool box, a birdhouse, whatever-these can be found at Toys R Us, Home Depot and any hobby shop.

I hope these ideas help!

Engagement party gift ideas?

Q. I'm attending my cousin and his fiancée engagement party next weekend and I have no idea what kind of gift to give them since they already live with each other and have everything they need for their house. I was thinking of just buying them a card and putting $100 dollars in it. Is money a good idea or should I get them an actual gift.


Answer
I agree, most people do not consider the engagement party to be a gift giving event, it IS the gift!
You can't go wrong with just a nice card.

If you wish to give a gift, cash or a boxed gift, fine, you can. But do know that you might be invited to lots of wedding events. Perhaps more than one engagement party. Perhaps the shower, or more than one. Then the wedding itself. Perhaps even a bachelor, or bachelorette party.
It would be nice to give them some money up front, I'm sure they would appreciate it. If you can afford it, why not?

This is a good time for the family to give heirloom or new bought gifts for the wedding, like a cake server and knife, or toasting glasses.
Also a good time to hand down heirlooms for their house, or jewelry.
Also for the family to chip in with financial help.

Books on weddings are a good present.
a bottle of champagne intended to be opened at this party, or for another time, or a bottle of nice wine is good.
Photo albums and scrapbooks would be fine too.

engagement gift ideas!?!?!?




mrs. mille


my boyfriend and i have an upcoming engagement party to go to, actually in 2 days, and we need some help as to what gift to give. the couple is unique in that the male will be leaving for two years shortly after the party to serve in Iraq, after which the wedding will take place. So, we need some unique ideas that stray from restaraunt gift cards, etc. Something we can get fast, not too expensive [under $100] that both can enjoy. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!


Answer
Hi,
I don't think a gift is needed. Definitely give them a card and, if you want, a nice bottle of wine. What you CAN DO....is be there for your friend while her fiancee is away. Offer to help her with any wedding planning. If you are not that close to her (maybe only to him?), you can still offer to take her out to lunch, go with her to a movie, or send her a card every now and then while he is away! She will really be missing him and she needs support!

Looking for some small, inexpensive gift ideas for my 1.5 year old?

Q. My daughter is one. She has already gotten a ball pitt and 500 balls for christmas. We got her a really good quality one ((not the inflatable crappy ones)). Anyway we also got her a thing of mega blocks, and some more weeble people. I am looking for a few more ideas of cheap little gifts to wrap so she can have more to unwrap. The ball pit will be set up already.

Thanks!

PS- She already has a ton of dolls.


Answer
Anything that can be stacked and knocked over,ny 16 month old will do this over and over,leaving me tired.Fisher Price makes this thing its a ball that opens with a smaller ball and then you open that and there is a smaller ball in that one and so on.It really is cute and it can be rolled,opened and stacked.

Clay is lots of fun,coloring books and big crayons,slippers,music instruments(whistle,drum,maracas)
hand or little finger puppets,small cars to push around,pretend food with all sorts of cups and spoons,etc.these are just some ideas.
Try a kids consignment shop near by,I have several where I live and you can find some neat stuff for half the price of regular stores.Plus some shops will let you trade in some of your old stuff in for new.At this age she will not know where it came from and you get to save too.Every ones happy.
Make sure you use lots of sparkly paper,that'she fun part,getting off the paper:)Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Gift Idea: scooter for 5 year old?




Sammie


I think my nearly 5 year old girl would enjoy an electric scooter/or go-cart. The problem is: I'm having a hard time find one for a 5 year old. Any ideas?

She has a Barbie Jeep PowerWheels...but I think she needs something a little more for a "big" girl.



Answer
well maybe not an average scooter for a 5 year old but they do sell kiddie scooters with one wheel in the front and two in the back, that woudl be much safer also, purchase some saftey gear, its always good to have a back up plan, also ignore the first answer dont buy those games for her.

http://www.landofnod.com/family.aspx?c=9744&f=5239 - this is an example im sure you can find a cheaper simpler one at your local toys r us.

My sister is getting married and I want to get the couple the best wedding gift EVER! Any ideas?




zil28ennov


I don't want anything extravagant. Just something that other people are going to look at and say "Wow! I wish I had thought of that.", or "What a great idea!". I'm also looking for something that they would use on a daily basis or at least weekly. Any ideas?
The coffee maker would be a good idea Ricardo, but neither of them drink it.



Answer
Wow, wish you would have told us how much you have to spend.

The best ideas come from knowing them. Are they taking a driving honeymoon? A gas card.

Are they not taking a honeymoon anytime soon? Date night at home kit. A gift card for pizza, a gift card for Blockbuster, some theater candy and some popcorn in a cute pottery bowl labled "popcorn" . Maybe an acrylic blanket, size small, they go for $5-10 bucks depending on where you get it. Couple of their favorite sodas, and you have it.
Or a date night card out on the town for their favorite restaurant and a gift card to your local movie theater.

Are they fun and wacky? shave ice machine and a sack of the flavorings. Or a good ice cream maker. Budget is bigger? Get a cookbook, a good bottle of vanilla for the ice cream maker.

Do a kit with any kind of kitchen pan, dish, or small appliance.
Get a pasta boiler, a nice one with a sturdy lid. Fill it full of Italian things, like a tin of oregano and one of garlic powder. A Italian cookbook. A box of pasta, a pasta tongs.

Get any kind of a baking dish, like a 13x9 cake pan, or two cookie sheets, or a couple pie pans. Buy the appropriate cookbook. Buy spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. Buy a spatula to get the food out of them.

You have big bucks and they don't have a Kitchen aid mixer? Get one, or if someone else is, get the pasta maker attachment.

A fancy crock pot, a toaster oven.

Check their registry to make sure someone has not bought it yet, and go for it.

A clock. One for the mantle, or an anniversary clock that you can see the movement through the glass. You know their style and tastes, you will know whether to choose baroque, or modern, or something in between.
