What is a good gift for a 17 year old girl?

Ideas I had: Gift certificate for a makeup application / makeover session Gift certificate for a manicure / pedicure Jewellry Body Shop gift basket with scented bath oils / creams Her dad is very strict about music / clothes, so neither of those options will work, and I am very anti-video game. Any other ideas?
--------------------
I think your first 3 ideas are great, not the gift basket though, too common. Also money is a option. Everyone loves money!

anyone know where i can get a cheap baby gift basket?

my cousins babyshower is coming up and i thought it would b a good idea 2 get her a gift basket bc it has so much stuff n it but im low on money so im looking for a place that has cheap baskets
--------------------
Someone gave me a plastic laundry basket filled with tons of baby stuff at my baby shower. Get creative. There are lots of inexpensive ideas to fill it with. Even the dollar store or WalMart has stuff to put in it. I was surprised at some of the stuff you could get at the dollar store! For instance, baby hangers, formula dispensers, wipes, plastic bags to put dirty diapers in, hand sanitizer, binkies, wash cloths, etc. And you could include a few other necessities too from other stores like Target or WalMart. I think it's the best idea. You could even throw in something little for Mom, like a candle or better yet... Chocolate... YUM!

Anybody have any gift basket ideas?

I love making gift baskets for friends,my daughters teachers etc. I made a movie theme basket and I just made a ice cream basket. Does anyone know any ideas I can use? Thanks
--------------------
For teachers, I like using a plastic bin/storage container and filling it with supplies they need for the classroom: scissors, glue, markers, crayons, wipes, tissues, etc. For friends you could do a spa theme: lotions, nail polish, remover, manicure set, etc.

Years ago when you went to someone's new house you brought a gift. A basket with salt/bread etc.?

There used to be a saying that went with your gift - bread so you will never go hungry salt for etc etc Cant remember what saying was and what went in basket...Anybody remember. thanks
--------------------
Bread – So you never go hungry. Wine – So that joy and prosperity may reign forever. Salt – So there is always spice in your life. And a Candle – So you always have light.

Our year anniversary and his 20th birthday happen to be on the same day. What are some good things to put in the basket?
--------------------
I like being oringal and creative. Maybe most of his favouite things. I would put "Best Man" Mug (or of course whatever you can find) a teddy bear that says "i love you", his favourite chocolate, a football T-shirt (or in pennies i say his t-shirt that said "hard working men men should spend their weekends in front of football!" and their was a funny picture, Maybe a photograph of you and him together in a nice frame, A peom of all the reasons he is special (if you can't do this alone, i know i can't, google some or ask friends) An ablum of his most memorable memories (ask friends to give pictures) A cd of his favourite song/singer A fancy perfume and a key ring with maybe a car on it and if you can get one, my friend had a badge that said "Im 18! uh oh im an adult now!", There are a few suggestions. Feel free to ask if you have any more enquires! I hope this helped!

Ideas for a homemade friendship gift for christmas?

For christmas my friends and I are all exchanging gifts. I was hoping to make all of mine so they could be extra personal and sentimental. I want an idea that can fit personally to each one of my friends. One of my friends is making a gift basket/"survival kit" for each of us and I want to do something equally clever.
--------------------
i'm seventeen so me and my friends don't typically exchange homemade gifts anymore but when i was really young- twelve i think- i made my friend a spa kit. i got a bunch of mini body washes, shampoos, conditioners, face wash, lotion, moisturizer, and candles and put them a basket. she really liked it. hope i helped! :)

If any of your friends are "nature lovers" and lives in the Northeast / Mid-West US or Canada, consider giving the Spiles Kit offered at www.tapmytrees.com (offers step by step instructions and supplies to tap maple trees at home). It is a unique gift and they can make their own maple syrup.

how to make halloween gift bags for friends?

Well of course I know what a gift basket is and how to make one. I wanted to make a small one for my friends but in a nice bag. What is a good way to make halloween gift bags without spending a fortune? usually candy around this time is cheap right? how can I make the actual bag myself?
--------------------
You can take a couple of old holiday bags and put construction paper over the sides. Then do a bunch of cute drawings or put on some halloween stickers. Then write their names on the bags. Decorate it however you want. But if you put on the construction paper staple it or color on it befor you glue it. Hope that I helped!

What are good things to put in a gift basket for a future mother-in-law?

Great lady, collects teddy bear icons. Good things on a budget.
--------------------
How about a hot chocolate gift basket. You could get her 2 teddy mugs. Place 2 packages of hot-cocoa mix in each mug, add 2 packages of individual marshmellows in the basket as well as a real cute teddy bear right in the center. You could also, enclose a small box of cookies as well as one of those insperational books. It would make for a real cute basket and only cost you around $20 bucks. I made a real cute one for my mom this year.

Is it totally bad etiquette to buy a gift for someone and buy the same thing for yourself too?

Let's say you buy a friend a shirt that you really like too. Is it wrong to buy the same style of shirt for yourself even if it's in a different color? Or if you buy them a brand of make-up that works well for you and you buy two gift baskets... one for the friend and one for yourself. Is it considered rude, fine, or indifferent?
--------------------
not at all. just because you like the same gift doesn't mean anything. it just means you both have simular tastes. women always buy things for there friends and get one to as they like it. especially if its a good deal. guys do it all the time. you buy your buddy a drill at home depot on sale and get one also. he thanks you and you say it was a great deal so i got one also. they appreciate the thought, not whether you got one also.

I need to fill a gift basket with pink things for a Breast Cancer fundraiser. Please help?

Can be food items or anything.
--------------------
I would make it centered around the woman! What you would like in the basket if you were receiving it. An all PINK theme is a great idea. Bath beads, oils, soaps, lotions, nail polish, finger files, combs, brushes, tooth brushes, toothpaste, dental floss, scrubbies, bandanas, those slipper socks, stationary, pens, pencils, puzzle books, lipstick... ya know girlie stuff. :-)

how about an ice cream basket. you can go to the dollar tree and buy cute, inexpensive ice cream bowls and then add to the basket red, white and blue toppings like strawberry syrup, m&m;s (i think they have patriotic ones this time of year), mini marshmallows. then put in a 5.00 gift card to the local grocer to purchase ice cream with.
