What are good baby shower ideas for a girl?

best baby shower gift ideas for girls image

Valerie Ya

My sister is having a baby girl and I want to throw her a baby shower. What websites or stores are good for decorations and invitations?

Answer
Sweet Baby Girl Theme - This theme is ideal for any mom-to-be with a real sweet tooth! Start with table linens and cups in bright candy colors. Set up a candy buffet, wrapping the jars in pretty ribbons, and load up a cupcake tower with colorful treats.

Put out a book for guests to leave “sweet” notes for the parents. Use your computer to spell out the words S-W-E-E-T B-A-B-Y G-I-R-L on round 5-inch shapes; then print, cut, rim with glitter and string with ribbon or yarn: voila, chic and pretty bunting!

Candy topiaries make perfect decor for the tables, and over sized old-fashioned lollipops are the perfect backdrop for signs to mark your food, gift and signing stations. Make a personalized take-home bag for each guest so they can savor the sweetness later!

What's a good gift to give at a baby shower?

HoneyBee

We're having a baby shower for our co-worker, who will be returning from maternity leave in a couple of weeks. She had a little girl. What are some good gift ideas for the shower?

Answer
A couple of coworkers (perhaps the guys) could pool their money and get her a custom diaper cake....made with larger diapers for her older baby. See if you can find out what the diaper brand she is using is, that way your diaper cake company can make it out of those diapers, specifically.

The best part about a diaper cake is that it can also serve as part of the shower decor. Have it match the nursery theme she has going on. She'll love it as this is a very creative and throughtful gift!

Cool, unique gift ideas for friend who is expecting baby boy?

best friend gift ideas diy image

Penguina

I don't wanna go the usual baby Gap route, I like how Angelina dresses her kids, trendy but cute. Also looking for any additional DIY things I can make for the baby shower.

Answer
I think you should make a really cool personalized "Baby Book". Normal baby books from Target/Babies r Us are all exactly the same, and they are all pretty average. There are pages that never get filled out, things you want to put into the book but can't seem to find the right page...etc. Here's what I did for a friend's shower and she LOVED it.

Take a 3 ring binder and decorate it any way you choose. Then get baseball card page protectors, regular page protectors, photo page protectors..etc....get her some construction paper and a stack of index cards. Then you can cut the index cards in half and write down anything you want and just slide it in the baseball card sized page protectors. It's SO easy to forget the little things and when it's so easy to grab an index card and jot the memory down there's no excuse!

I am planning on making those for all future shower gifts b/c it was such a big hit. The new parents can write down little things like the first words, the first time they slept through the night, the first time you got a real smile, laugh..etc... and it's really cool.

Good luck though, there are lots of other good ideas too!!

I could use some ideas of fun and useful gift ideas for a bridal shower gift?

~*Jessica*

I am the maid of honor of my best friends wedding. I am already spending a lot of money to throw her a bridal shower and buying what I need to wear for her wedding. So I thought It would be a cute idea to make a gift basket or like a picnic basket type of thing to give to her as my gift to her. I was wondering what would be some cool and also useful ideas to put in the basic. If anyone else has a better idea for a gift please share!

Answer
When my brother got married, they had a lot of kitchen items on their registry, in all price ranges. A neighbor who was invited to the wedding bought a bunch of the smaller items (wisks, ladles, spatulas, measuring cups, etc) and put them all in a basket and attached little cards with recipies on them to each of the items. My brother and his wife loved it because they love to cook, and are ALWAYS trying out new foods and things.

So my suggestion would be to think of things that the couple like to do together, and fill the basket with stuff that will help them enjoy that. So if they like camping, find small pieces of camping equipment like those wind up flashlights that don't need batteries, and bug spray and stuff like that. Or if they love the beach/are going somewhere beachy on their honeymoon, get them sunscreen and flip flops and beach towels...if they like doing gardening, get them a bunch of small gardening tools and seeds that will do well in your area...if they like doing home improvement/diy projects, get them paint brushes and things to hang paintings and stuff in their home....

Think of who they are as a couple, and what they like to do, then personalize it to their tastes.

What are some good gift ideas for an 11 year old boy who got his tonsils taken out?

What to get a 4 year old boy for Christmas?

Kris

I need to get a Christmas gift for a 4 year old boy.
He really likes animals, coloring, and crafty stuff, and Nick Jr.
I was thinking about the Crayola glow dome...
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Answer
I think the little ones are so much easier to buy for. Wait until you have teenagers and you have no idea what to buy them anymore... so I'm rather surprised with this question.

You can get him anything from...
- craft supplies like crayons/marker sets
- stuffed animal of his favourite animal
- colouring and activity books
- electronic toys & games (like plug and play games that you plug into your TV)
- since it's winter... think sleds or "saucers", or if any of his parents skii or snowboards... think about getting a mini snowboard or a pair of skiis to get him started.
- i know little guys like lego, or even k'nex are great fun.
here are some that are listed $10 and under:
http://www.knex.com/Shop/theme_search.php?searchType=price&subType=0_10

Walk into Wal-Mart or any toy shop and think of what little boys would like! If it's not your kid, make sure the product you're buying is kid-safe... and doesn't have little pieces they can choke on. If you're not sure about a gift idea... you could always double check with the parent too.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

What exactly is an engagement party? any good ideas for one?

best engagement party gift ideas image

Luci

What I mean by what is an engagement party: I mean is it a party that you announce it for the first time OR that u have already announced and you are just celebrating it. Do u do invites? what can I do for mine?

Answer
An engagement party has a specific purpose and that is to formally announce the engagement of Mary Smith to John White. The party is usually hosted (planned, organized, and paid for) by the girl's parents. And if the girl's parents are unable to host the party then it can be hosted by the boy's parents or a close friend or relative. The party should take place within 4-6 weeks of the presentation of the engagement ring or proposal of marriage. The couple should NOT host their own engagement party unless there are no other alternatives.

The formality of the party can range from a three course dinner in the banquet room of a hotel to a backyard barbecue at someone's home. Printed invitations with a RSVP should be mailed out at least two weeks in advance of the party.

An engagement party is not a gift giving event so the couple should not be registered with any wedding or bridal registry until after the party has taken place.

The invitation guest list can be as long or as short as you wish. You can reserve a table at a nice Italian restaurant for ten people or you can rent the local community hall and invite two hundred people.

Ideas for outdoor engagement party brunch?

Amarys Per

i'm having an engagement party for myself and fiance (we're hosting) this summer...it's an outdoors brunch. i'm looking for ideas as to what type of music and games...etc. we should have, if we should have any music and games for that matter. i'm pretty new at this whole planning thing
deciding to add that i know the brides parents are supposed to host this but my fiance and i lost both our parents.

Answer
It's fine to host your own engagement party, as long as you make it clear to anyone who asks that you do not want gifts. These aren't for gifts to begin with, even when a parent throws it. As to what to do, I've never been to an engagement party with games and music. That doesn't mean you can't do it, but you might have trouble getting ideas. Also, they are usually on a weekend night and very similar to a casual dinner party.

Also, just as an fyi since you say you're new to all this. You don't have to have one of these unless you want to. Most people don't do them, since the original reason for them was for the parents to meet and both sides get to know the wedding party. People are too separated today for this!

What are some ideas for a 30th birthday dinner party?

great gift ideas 30th birthday image

Jocelyn

My sister is turning 30 on Jan 1 !! We are planning to have a small dinner party at a local restaurant. What should the dress code be? Should we play games? Basically how does it go?!

Answer
A little birthday party for your sis, how nice!!!

If you're having a sit-down dinner in a restaurant, try to get a private room... IT A MUST! Have a pic of your sister blown up and have all the guests sign it. One fun activity sure to help everyone get into the fun is charades. Yes...CHARADES! Or you can do this...

The Icebreaker game,
~The "No" Party Game ~
* Each guest is given a lei (or a cool pin) when they arrive and is instructed to put it on.
*The goal of the game is to collect as may leis as possible by stealing/winning them from other guests. To do this, you must get another guest to say the word "no." Yep, that simple.
*To get a guest to say the word "no," the players must ask questions or make statements which would make the player give a negative answer. If a player (the answerer) forgets to go around the word "no", he or she must give their lei to the person who got them to say it (the asker).
*If you have lost your lei, you may continue to play, ask questions, and collect leis.
*The winner is the person who has collected the most leis by the end of a predetermined period. They can win a prize if you wish, such as a bottle of wine or store-brought gift, even giftcard is ok.

Note:You can choose whether or not to allow the word "know" to be used for this game-- both ways are fun. It's pretty interesting to see the lengths lei-less players will go to get leis from winning players-- especially as the game progresses. The hilariously convoluted things your guests will say in order to keep from having to say the word "no" make this one of the best icebreaker games for small groups.

Now Party getting into groove...
~Message Under a Plate~
Summary and Supplies: This is one of the easiest free party games to liven things up around the dinner table. All you need is a bit of imagination, a pen, and some small strips of paper. (Or, if you prefer more elegant dinner table games, some blank business cards or card stock and a printer-- you can do this on the computer). The Game: Write or print a different phrase on each of several small pieces of paper. Place one card under each of your dinner guests' plates. Make the phrases usable but strange. Ex: "I am a space cowboy," or "Have you tried ostrich eggs?" Before dinner, ask everybody to read the card under their plate-- they're not to read it aloud or share its contents with anybody. Instruct your guests to use their phrase or question as naturally as they can in conversation. You can decide to make this a race-- whoever manages to use their phrase last loses. Or it can be a competition between guests. The goal is for each guest to figure out when another guest is using an assigned phrase. If they're able to slip it into conversation naturally without anybody noticing, they win. You can also choose to assign guests several phrases-- increase them in difficulty as they go along.

Oh no I'm full and now we gotta play...
~The Memory Game~
Summary and Supplies: This is a simple one to play around the dinner table-- but more difficult than it sounds. All you need to play this is a decent memory. The Game: One guest is chosen to begin by saying something they "bring to the party" (doesn't have to be true). Example: "I went to a party and brought a bouquet of flowers." The next guest must add another item to the previous guest's item. Example: "I went to a party and brought a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of peach schnapps."
This goes around the table, and each person must list off all the items, then add their own. Players can generally go on for a surprising amount of time.

The end.. Have a great times...

As for dress code be casual, if you're still not sure ask the restaurant for advice. PS. Make Reservation ASAP... or you'll regret it.

What are some bridal shower gift ideas for my future sister in law?

best gift ideas for sister in law image

alene0022

My future sister in law's Bridal shower is in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what to get her. She is in her early 20's, and pretty conservative. Any ideas would be helpful?

Answer
Get her something off her registry. Those are the items she really, really wants. If you want to add something extra to the gift, then jazz it up. For example, buy all the items on her registry she might need for baking cookies. Then, go to the grocery store and buy the cookie ingredients. Type of the cookie recipe on a nice piece of decorative paper and assembly everything into a cute package or gift basket.

A good gift idea for a very young widow?

Slim

I need a good gift idea for a very yong widow. My sister in law lost her husband last week at the young age of 24. She is 18, and he died exactly 8 months into their marriage. I want something that will really touch her heart and to help her during this greiving process. She is also 15 weeks pregnant.

Answer
If she is willing to part with some of his clothes you can have a quilt made out of them. They can get a bit pricey so if you can have some people help you out with the cost that would be a GREAT gift! http://originalquilts.com/memorial_quilts.htm
http://custommemorialquilts.com/memorial-quilt-pricing/

Or you can go to www.starregistry.com and name a star after him. They send a certificate, map with the coordinates and a little booklet that tells you how to locate the star. I got one for my sister-in-law, father-in-law and myself after my husband died.

Getting something for a young widow is tricky, especially if the death was shortly after marriage. I was 24 and it was after 6 months of marriage. Little things are nice but things that are more personal and that can be kept for years to come are so much better!

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.

What is a good wedding shower gift that is inexpensive?

best bridal shower gift ideas image

Sweet!

My good friend is having a bridal shower this weekend and I need some gift ideas. I looked at her registry but its out of my price range. I have been trying to think of ideas that are inexpensive but don't look like I cheaped out. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance!

Answer
Hey girl!

I did this last weekend for a cousin in law's shower and it was the hit of the party!

Get a large popcorn bowl, a cute ceramic one! You can find at walmart for a couple bucks!

A box of movie butter popcorn!

A 5 dollar dvd from walmart! I found the notebook, spiderman, and a knights tale for five dollars each!

Get a 6 pack of bottled old fashioned root beer!

Put it all in a basket and . . .

Tie celophane around it and gather it on top with a cute bow!

I call it the first date night basket! This is great bc when you get married you spend lots of money on house stuff, and bills and it is nice for someone to give you a date. . . All expenses paid!

This gift should cost you less than $20, I did mine for $15!

You could also throw in a pack of cards from the dollar store!

GOOD LUCK!

What are the best gifts to give a bride to be during her bridal shower?

Gabrielle

Me and some girl friends are going to throw a bridal shower for a close friend who's getting married end of September, and we decided to bring little gifts, can you suggests gift ideas that I can check out? Thanks!

Answer
Things that are just for her, not for her new household. Lingerie, but not sexy lingerie. Boutique toiletries. If cooking is her hobby, you could get a nice piece of cookware; if she sews, a nice piece of sewing gear, if she's the gardener, something for that. But not just housewares - something special for her particular interests. Books - reference books, or advice / humor.

Usually there's a registry. You, the shower-thrower, could encourage her to set one up and suggest the price range her guests can comfortably buy in.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Newly Engaged Couple?

Miss Olivi

A close family member got engaged this year. What are some good Christmas gift ideas? Should I get them a joint gift or separate ones? The wedding is next year (in 2013) so they're going to have bridal showers, etc. and I know they'll get tons of house things and wedding gifts.

I do know that some family members haven't been taking their engagement very seriously (mainly just due to age), so I'd like to get them something that says I'm supportive of their marriage, etc.

Any ideas?

Answer
You could try to get them a wedding planning book/magazine, no one usually buys them for a couple.

I'd say other than that get them a gift voucher at a nice restaurant so they can go out together, make sure to attach a card congratulating them and offering support.

So i am just looking to fill 6 in total, 2 men, 2 women, 2 teenage girls. I have made and personalised my own boxes. The colour theme is red and black. I was thinking i may put some tinsel or something just to layer the bottom and then i have bought a tin of roses chocolates which are on offer in most supermarkets at this time of year for around £4 i will then put in a chocolate or 2 along with a choice of key ring or lip gloss. I also thought about my local market that has a cheap jewellery stall and sells bits and bobs of jewellery and earrings from ex chain stores he does them at £1 per item or 2 for £1.50 so maybe a small pair of earings or something.
Then theres party poppers, tea light candles, small personalised pack of flower seeds, minature soaps, scratch cards, phone/wine glass charms like these...

Who has a high-paying dividend with promising growth and future returns?

best college graduation gift ideas image

PECOS BILL

I am graduating this semester. My father wants to buy me some stock as a graduation gift. My idea is a high-paying dividend with promising growth and future returns. This would be a long-term investment for me to sit on for my working years. Please give me some ideas for a few companies that may give me what I want. Thanks!

Answer
Okay. Think about this. If you buy a dividend-yielding stock, this will mean you will have to declare the dividends as income. More importantly, dividends stocks should not be your first pick, as it sounds like you are young...since you are getting out of college. Now, if you were 45, that would be an entirely different story.
Now I don't know what degree you will be receiving, but I would imagine you had at least one economics class. Dividends are nothing more than an opportunity cost of capital. Companies issue out dividends becuase they cannot use the money to grow anyfurther...they reached a peak in the growth and value. So they issue Dividends to investors as a means to hold onto them. Its essentially a quite deal, where they pay you back some of your money in exchange for the rest of your money. Sound stupid. It is, but almost no one knows that this is exactly what is going on. I didn't until I got into this industry.
If you bought a stock this mystery stock you are looking for at $20/share. And then next quarter, they annouced a $.50/share dividend (by the way, they don't owe dividends...so there is never a guarantee you will get one) and their market price is 22.50/share at the time. 15 days later, after something called an 'ex-date' the stock exchange where that companies stock is listed will drop the price of the stock $.50. Why do they do that: So that day traders cant get in, but a truck load of shares, get the dividend, and then bail without losing money. This is now a prohibitted action. So what does this mean to you: If you have 1000 shares, valued at 22.50/share, before the ex-date you would have $22,500. After the ex-date you would have $22,000 worth and you would receive a check from them for $500, which is your dividend and is therefore taxable to your current income tax level. So if you are in the 15% tax bracket, you would have to pay $75 dollars in taxes. Essentially, you had $22,500...and now you would have $22,425 (stocks and cash combined). How is this a benefit? Its not and it this is why I don't have my clients seek this out.

My advise is this. Either A) put the money into a Roth IRA, and make contributions into it. B) dump the money into a single stock you are interested in (meaning a sector you would actually be interested in following) and when doing this stick with Mega or Large cap stocks, as they tend to be safer. Learn more about the other Caps later.
or C) hold onto the money. Buy some books on investing and learn about where your strong suits are before you commit that money. That way your aren't asking for a fish, rather you are learning how to fish.

Good luck and congradulations on graduating!
On a side note, you may also want to look into iShares and ETFs if you are thinking about option C. My area of focus is on Natural Resources (they are getting smaller) and the Energy sector (Not Ethanol!!!!!)
-----
You need just as much knowledge investing in Mutual Funds as you would a single stock. Intrinsic valuation models still need to be conducted. Just like picking a stock without any real knowledge behind it can be hazardous, the same is true with Mutual Funds.

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).

Does anyone have great gift ideas for an 11 year old traveler?

great gift ideas 3 year old image

Mrs. N

My 11 year old nephew will be spending 3 weeks in Europe this summer. He is going as part of a school ambassador program (he lives in Hawaii) and will be visiting several countries. I would like to get him some cool gifts that can be utilized on his trip. I want to avoid the normal cliche travel stuff like neck pillows and fold up blankets LOL. Thanks in advance for any help!

I need a GREAT gift idea for a 3 year old autistic boy. Any ideas?

Amber

My son was invited to a birthday party for a 3 year old boy. I guess they would be cousins. Anyway, he is autistic and has a mom that is very into his therapy etc... I am looking for gift ideas with links maybe? I would like to find something that will make her go wow, he could really use this. I am not really looking for toys like trucks etc... I am looking for toys that are learning toys.

Have any ideas?

Answer
Honestly I would ask the mother, its better to find out what type of gifts she would like for her son, especially she is very proactive in her son's therapy.

Saying that, you could look as sensory toys, educational toys, musical toys/instruments, communication games, hand puppets, wooden puzzles etc.

The toys need to be sturdy to take bit of rough handling, be colourful and stimulating enough for them be interested in playing with the toy, also make sure there are not to many parts to cause frustration, and certainly no small pieces (choking). Be careful with books unless they are thick chunk cardboard or fabric type as they wont tear/rip.

Or you could give a gift voucher to Toy-R -Us, Target etc, which means the mother can purchase something to her liking for her sons needs.
