Q. He's a graphic designer, very quirky, talented, a photographer. It seems he has almost everything! So conventional, useful gifts probably would just be repeats. I am artistic (writer/pastelist, etc.) and so I could make something, but I just have no good ideas yet.
A. There is a great gift idea for photographers. Its a new 3D single use camera and the best part is the price. Its made by a Canadian company called Venga/Click 3D
What are cool ideas for bridesmaid gifts?
Q. We were thinking ipods but most of the bridal party already has those. Jewelry seems obvious but they probably won't get a lot of mileage out of them. What are some good, original ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your help!
A. I really really like these gift ideas from Fortnum & Mason (but I'm a huge tea junkie too)

Maybe you could do a gift basket like one of these on your own. Maybe you can invite them all over for afternoon tea and enjoy some lady time together and then give them all tea-related gift baskets.
Or I really like their champagne basket. A lot of people give out gifts at the rehearsal dinner, and i think sometimes that just doesn't say thank you enough. Maybe invite all the girls over for cocktails and give them a romantic evening gift box filled with a bottle of champagne and chocolate and grapes and cheese.
Or maybe don't give them all the same gift? Celebrate their individual personalities. Hand write a thank you note to each of them. Think of one personality trait that you think defines them as a good friend. maybe Grace, Imagination, Creativity, Honesty, Humor, Charm, Kindness and then think of a gift that reflects that trait. Maybe an interesting vase or art print for Creative. Tickets to a comedy club or show for a witty humourous friend. Maybe some somewhat rare or interesting plant for the unique quirky personality. Some type of silver serving piece or pitcher or something that exudes grace for the Graceful friend. Don't be afraid to get creative, and your party will be touched that it isn't just some piece of jewelery that you picked for them that they will only wear once. Remember what they say about gifts: its the thought that counts, so take some time to make it special!

I'm looking for some really unique and creative gift ideas for an awesome co-worker. Any ideas?
Q. She has been a real inspiration to me this past year and I don't know if I would have made it without her as my mentor. She's a colorful person with a personable demeanor. I'm looking for ideas that are thoughtful, quirky, corny, involved, and most of all creative and unique!
A. How about a gift basket made by you. If you have an idea of what her hobbies are, a favorite book Author, use a favorite color and buy things of the theme you chose to put into the basket.
You could do a basket in really bright colors and write a note to let her know you've really appreciated all the help she's given you.
Things in the basket could be:
Coffee mug with different flavored coffees, chocolates, pastries or muffins, gift card to a favorite coffee shop.
A spa basket:
Bath gels & salts, candles, a cd with calming music, Bath scrubber, teas, some flowers. Or a gift card for a spa treatment.
If she has kids;
Maybe a night of free babysitting so she can go out to dinner with hubby or friends and a movie.
Or take her out for lunch and a movie date on a Saturday.
If she's really up to it and you can afford it how about a Hot Air Balloon Ride.
These are just some ideas for you.

What is a good gift for a 16 year old girl?
Q. My niece is turning 16 in February. I want to get her something special but I have no ideas. Gift cards seem so impersonal for such a special birthday. She is a little quirky and only wears costume jewelry.
A. Cell phone accesories, makeup, underwear(make them cute, 16 year olds are at that age now) maybe hello kitty stuff, or pictures/room deco, purses, if your going to go gift card, get it for somewhere like tarina tarintino.com they have great stuff!
