Gift ideas for a 50yr old woman?

Anonymous

My aunt is turning 50 this weekend and I am not that close to her (I don't know much about her hobbies/likes) - I don't want to spend too much money (between 30-40 dollars) and I don't want to get her a gift certificate (I think that's too impersonal) - any ideas?

Answer
A gift basket with assorted 'goodies.'
Start with something from Bath and Body Works- maybe some shower gel or bubble bath. Or, select some of the 'extras' they have like hand sanitizers (they come in different scents), go for some sweets like chocolates, maybe some microwave popcorn, or a bottle of wine. Call it a pampering basket!

Is this a lame gift idea for a woman?

It's all a

My girlfriend of one year has a birthday coming up soon and the automatic dishwasher in her house has been broken and unusable for many years.

I am thinking of buying her a new one for her birthday.

Is this a lame gift since it is so utilitarian?

PS We are both middle aged LOL

Answer
Not a great gift at all...a gift should be something the other person can enjoy UNLESS you know she wants one and cannot afford it...something personal in addition to that would be nice though...

hostess gift ideas???

Toadsputum

I have an interview scheduled for a doctoral program. 2 of the current graduate students (an engaged couple) offered to pick me up from the airport and let me stay at their home for 2 nights. I do not know them from a hole in the wall, but thought it would be nice to bring them a small thank-you gift. I would like to spend between $30-$50. I thought about a nice bottle of wine, but then my husband pointed out that they might not drink wine. The only thing that I know about the couple is that the woman enjoys cooking. Any ideas? Do you think that giving a gift is appropriate or weird?
I am from Long Island, NY traveling to Mississippi. If I purchased wine for them I would get it from a local winery. I would love to bring a gift basket, but worry that it would be difficult to transport.

Answer
I think a Gift would be appropriate and not weird at all

I think that something from NY would be better since it's an out of state gift that they can't just buy where they live.

I would get some small Local things to give them. Something that Says " NY" on it. Some Magnets, nick nacks, maybe something you like so it remind them of you.

You can Look up the Town that you're traveling into, and see what type of Resuarants are in the local area. This might spark some Ideas for some Gifts.
You could map quest their house to see what is around them locally.

Wine would be a Good Gift, because Even if they don't drink it, They might just put it out for show, a conversation starter, they could Regift it, and it's not too personal but shows you put some Effort into getting them something.

They might have Food allergies, or Flower Allergies so you would want to be careful if you get them a gift basket of food.

If she likes Cooking then you might search online to see of there is something that is Unique for cooking. Like an Extraordinary Apple Slicer or something that people don't see everyday.
Maybe a Good Muti recipe Cook book.

What about a Flavored Gourmet Popcorn selection? That's different.
Gourmet Coffee Flavors..... but that would be kinda weird if they hate Coffee, so maybe not.

Although, if you can't think of anything to get them from NY you might try this.
What if, you got there the first day and See what the house looked like to see what type of people they are. Then the second day you are staying with them, purchased something for them then you would have some Idea of their life style. Do they collect a certain thing or Love cows or something like that.

Good Luck

What are some good omiyage gifts to give a host family?

best gift ideas women image

Q. I am going to japan in june/july for 11 days i am going to stay with a host family which may or may not have kids of any age so even though it isn't a long trip i want to bring enough to make a good impression. i'm looking for gift ideas for men, women, teens, children, and people i meet. I live in CA near San Francisco and and have already heard about touristy things like magnets and post cards. i'm look for creative things that would be fun for someone to get

Answer
Dude, Japanese people in my experience love their merchandise. You live in an iconic area so I'm sure you can get something reflective of where you live. Caps,shirts(can be dangerous as you don't know their size), calenders or even images of where you live. You could try some 49ers merchandise. Japanese also love icons of the world so maybe a model of the golden gate bridge may be ideal or a snow globe of it.
I'm going to stay at a host family too and from Australia. Bringing boomerangs, koala pushes and wombat in a can(it's just a stuffed wombat in soup can, just bringing some Aussie humor).

My mom is finishing her last chemo treatment next Thursday, any gift ideas?

Angie

I would like to get her a creative little gift to let her know I'm proud of her & let her know that she is a very strong woman. She has breast cancer and is finishing her last chemo treatment next week. Can someone give me some gift ideas?

Answer
My last chemo is on August 2. I would like some flowers waiting for me that day when I get home and three weeks later, when I would normally be getting chemo, I want to go out for Indian food for a celebration! My taste has been so severely altered during chemo that I can't wait to have such great food again!

What are some gift ideas for meeting my girlfriend's parents for first time?

SeanB

I am meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time in under two weeks. I'm not a 'youngin', so I have been down this road before, but 20+ years ago.

What are other gift ideas beyond wine and flowers? For further refinement, we are meeting for dinner in a restaurant.

Answer
Hey I think you can get them something practical yet personal. For the mom, you can get her a nice pair of gloves. I recommend you check out KinaRosa on Etsy ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/kinarosa ) These gloves are handmade, very high quality. They are unique yet affordable. My mom loves the gloves. I am sure it'll be a great gift for your girlfriend's mom since it's winter time. If you are not sure what color to buy, go for black, chocolate brown or burgundy red. They are safe colors that every woman loves.

For the dad, do you know what he likes? I think it's always good to go for more practical gifts for men. If he like cigars, you can buy him a nice box of cigars. If he like coffee, get him some good coffee beans. If you really don't know what he likes, you can get him a nice pen. My dad likes pens from Cross. They are not too expensive, but they are good pens.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your gift searching!

What is a good birthday gift idea for a Chinese lady boss?

trainee_ha

Hi, I have a new chinese lady boss who is a very nice person and I would like to get her a gift for her upcoming birthday. I havent had the time to really get to know her, so I am counting on finding some standard time tested gift ideas that I cant go wrong with. It would be preferable if the gifts have some sort of a chinese theme to it that she might appreciate.

Please help!

Answer
I'm Chinese!

As the Belarussian answerer said, you give gifts as you would any lady. However, do be aware of some Chinese gift codes:

- Most Chinese value the colours red and gold, because it is the colour of good luck
- Never give any forms of knives as a gift (e.g. letter openers, manicure sets etc) because it is perceived as a symbol of severing the friendship.
- Never give clocks, fake cash (like those rectangular notepads with dollars printed on the back of them) or white flowers--these are mourning items, and receiving them would be perceived as wishing they were dead.

Normally I don't give personal birthday gifts to a boss, but might initiate to arrange with some colleagues buying a joint gift for her. This makes the boundary clear that our relationship is business, not personal; and it avoids misinterpretation, especially in cross cultural situations.

My top picks for lady gifts are usually stuff she could wear, including earrings/bracelets, handbags, belts, perfume, or a silk shawl. However, these are very personal gifts that could be inappropriate for a boss; especially, if as your username says, you are but a trainee. Don't forget that Chinese people are very hierarchical, so receiving gifts as such may be awkward for a Chinese woman even if she is very nice.

If you really want this birthday to be your appreciation for her being part of your life, it may be best to get her a gift that she will use up and can share with her someone special. This may include vouchers to dine at her favourite restaurant, get pampered at a fabulous spa, stay at a hotel in a nearby weekend getaway spot, or enjoy an evening at the opera if she's into that thing. If you don't want to spend too much, vouchers for Starbucks or a movie would suffice. But whatever you get her, make sure you have two of them included, because (especially if you're a man) it's not as nice to receive one of these and not be able to take her someone special with. Not only is including two a sign of respect for the possibility that she may want to spend it with someone special other than you, but also two is a lucky number in Chinese numerology.

If you decide not to have a go at any of these, a birthday cake jointly bought with your colleagues to be eaten in the office/wherever you work never fails. Don't forget candles! Party hats & horns and decorations would be nice, but optional.

Any ideas for inexpensive homemade gifts for family and friends?

best gift ideas women image

river85715

This Christmas will have to be an inexpensive Christmas for me when it comes to giving gifts to my family and friends. I have been trying to think of gifts that I can make myself without spending a lot of money. My main goal is to make something that people will really like, either for practical use or pure enjoyment. I am at my wits end for ideas. Does anyone out there have any homemade gift ideas for men and women? Can you share some of your ideas that have been real successful? All serious replies are appreciated. Thanks for your time everyone.

Answer
Baked goods are liked by everyone. You could make up a couple of batches of cookies, get cute plates at the dollar store, wrap in colored cellophane, tie with a colored ribbon and a candy cane and you have nice gifts for your family and friends, without too much expense.

Im writing a newspaper article about Christmas Gifts Ideas how should I right it?

Q. What she I write , should I write like christmas gifts ideas for , women , men , boys , girls but I don't really like it like that . or another way I need something very good and something with an lot of information . thanks:)

A. Well, you should write "write" right to begin with, although looking at the rest of your grammar, I'm afraid this article is going to be a mayor challenge for you from beginning to the end.
Once you work out your grammar issue, keep it as simple as possible. I would write about Christmas ideas just for men, because this is a challenge every year as well. A tie again, or his favorite cologne??
Here's a "neutral" article I was able to find.

Good luck.
