Special Gift for my Boyfriend Who's Moving?

My boyfriend just graduated from UGA with his MBA and is moving to LA for a job. I want to make him like a going away gift basket with things to take to remember Athens/me by. So far I have a picture of the two of us in a frame, a stuffed GA bulldawg, A picture of Terry business school (the MBA school at UGA), and a box of mac and cheese mix (something i always make for him). Any ideas of what else i could put in it? business stuff maybe? I'm open to any unique/cute/thoughtful ideas. Any guys out there who could tell me what they would like from their girl? Thanks!
--------------------
I would get a notebook or a journal-type book w/ a cool cover and use it to write down "remember the time?" stories, private jokes the two of you share, sayings cut out from magazines,ect. It's personal, one of a kind, and will fit in the basket :)

Christmas gift for brother in law?

I'm at a complete loss here. I have no clue what to get him. I want to spend about $5 (that's all I need to spend/can afford with baby coming). I got my sister some nail stuff (buffer, file, clippers, polish) to make like a gift basket. Does anyone have some ideas for him? He hunts and cooks, always loses his (well, my sister's mainly) coffee cups lol.
--------------------
Does he lose his keys frequently too? I do! I got a stocking stuffer for myself (lol) from Santa at Wal-Mart. It's a key finder thing. You put it on your key chain and if you lose them, you just whistle and it alerts you so that you can find them. $5 even, plus tax ETA: It's something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Whistle-Key-Finder… and it's located in the middle of the isles with all of their boxed holiday gifts

Which of these two gifts should I give to my female boss?

I have a female boss who is in her mid-fifties. I have two gifts to choose from to give to her for Christmas: A large Spa Gift basket. An expensive candle with gold leaves embedded in it which is on a gold stand. I don't know which gift to give her, and giving both would be too much. What is your opinion? Thanks!
--------------------
I like the idea of the candle with leaves around it. It's simple, yet elegant. I think the Spa Gift basket is kind of personal and may not be appropriate (depending how well you know each other).

birthday gift... (GIRLS ONLY)?

Believe it or not, I have a friend who actually knows Rose Mcgowan. THE Rose Mcgowan! We've known each other for a while now and we've become good friends. Anyway, her birthday is coming up and I was thinking abut getting her a gift basket that included 3 boxes of tampax pearl, 3 packs of always ultra thins, 2 boxes of playtex sport, 4 bottles of lotion, a wireless g-spot vibrator, a bullet vibrator, and 2 rabbit vibrators. I think she would love it. Should I? And yes this a serious question.

Troll, **** you.

the green tea basket looks nicer. i know that's not a super great reason to buy anything, but i'd go with that one. the lavender set looks like something you'd buy at ross.

Then she got mad at me saying i picked it out just for you and you should be happy!

Gift help???????????????????

my best friend and I are getting each other something for christmas. we are both 13 well I'm almost 13, so we are the same age and our price limit for each other is I think 35-40 bucks and I want to get her some makeup and like a cute gift basket of random stuff, but for the makeup, I want to get her some stuff from sephora, but Idk what to get her... I was thinking eyeshadow, she has brown eyes so something green or purple, right? she already wears neutrals so idk what to get... it doesn't have to be eyeshadow but links for some things in sephora would be appreciated thanks any other ideas are welcome too!
--------------------
Try Ulta, it's like Sephora but cheaper. Or get her a KOR water vessel. They are the next big thing, she'll be ahead of her time! It's a water bottle that you can put a pic in at the top and it's BPA free! Plus a percentage goes to charity.

Is this birthday gift for my boyfriend too corny?

He's turning 18. I'm making him a gift basket with the following: -a panini sandwich cookbook for a sandwich grill he just got -a $15 jamba juice gift card (he's obsessed w/ Jamba) -bagels, avacados, juice (he always talks about these items and how much he eats them) -homemade cookies -a coupon from me for another batch of cookies I wanted this to seem thoughtful but i think it might be too cheesy. He got me a diamond necklace for my birthday recently (we haven't been together that long!) so i wanted to get him something special. What do you think?
--------------------
I don't know what your relationship is like, but it doesn't sound too corny to me. Guys love food, love having food made for them, and love knowing that you paid attention to what types of food they like. I think he'll appreciate it!

I need christmas gift ideas. as many as possible.?

Alright guys here it is. I have a girl who i have a thing with. were getting pretty close together and i need some gift ideas for christmas. I will only spend under 30 if i can. im thinking either a necklace or a gift basket filled with sleep wear such as flannel pants, a blanket, etc bc she says shes always cold.Im open to all idea's. i want to try and be creative in something she will like and think is really cute. thanks to all who respond!
--------------------
Basket with sleepwear is a great idea - in addition to the flannel pants and a blanket, add fuzzy or colorful socks, a scarf and some gloves. If she likes tea or coffee add a mug and sample size coffee or tea bags. Add a cute stuffed animal.

50th Birthday gift for mom?

I'm going to get her a gift basket of assorted goods for her birthday, as well as a personal letter inside of a Hallmark card, and take her out to eat. But I also wanted something comical to give her about turning 50 years old - in a nice way, like a coffee mug (ideally) or t-shirt that I can go out and buy at a store. Online will take too long. Does anyone know of a store such as Bed Bath & Beyond or Macys or something that carries birthday gifts like this? Qoutes such as "It's a crime to look this HOT at 50!" Thanks!
--------------------
I've always sent fruit baskets to my mom 4 her birthdays

What should I get for my friend's 18th birthday?

I really don't know what she wants even though we're the same age. She's not into make-up nor bags and CDs. And gift cards just doesn't seem special enough. She loves jewelery except that's what I got for her last year. I was thinking of some gift basket/bag but I wouldn't know what to put in it. Any ideas? What would YOU guys want?
--------------------
For my bday recently a couple of my friends got me a photo frame. But they filled it with a collage of photos of me and them. It was really nice. Personal presents are always the best. xxxxxxx

Does this sound like a good gift idea?

So my friend's birthday is coming up, she's turning 14 and we've been best friends for years. We're both really obsessed with nevershoutnever/Christofer Drew. We're seeing him in concert a few days after her birthday. (Hers is aug 6 mines aug 8) So i thought i'd get her a signed Christofer drew/nevershoutnever poster, a nevershoutnever t shirt, and a big gift basket with a bunch of her favourite things. Does that sound like not enough? too much? or does it sound good? oh and Christofer drew always wears tons of bracelets, as do we, so i figured i'd make her some cool hemp bracelets in the gift basket. Thannkss :)
--------------------
Absolutely! The gift sounds great! It's nothing that will cost you a super fortune, but it has a lot of meaning behind it. I'm pretty sure she will love it! Hey, if you ask me, big gift baskets aren't a bad idea! :)

The best cheap handmade gift is something knitted. I have made a whole set of baby hat & booties for 49c with sale yarn. You could make a nice hat and scarf set with yarn that costs less than $3.99!

Unique Graduation Gift?

I'm looking for the poem that accompanies an array of gift cards (like barnes & noble, walgreens, bath & body, starbucks) A little errand gift basket - does anyone have that???? I received it for my birthday - but I can't seem to find it and would love to adapt it for a special graduate. I appreciate any input :) Thank you.
--------------------
It's quite possible someone "made" you a custom basket. There are plenty of basket sites online where you can build & send them. Check links below. I definitely have also seen a "gift basket" section in the Cost Plus World Market store near me. Not sure if you have one of those, but if you do, head to the foods section.

--------------------

If you were a gift basket...?

Who'll be the one who'll get to unwrap you and what he/she would find in you? And why?
--------------------
My b/f would unwrap me and find 2 big melons and a peach. ;)

What would compliment this gift well?

I'm visiting my boyfriend who spends the summers with family in Colorado, and am going to be staying with his parents. It's the first time I'll meet them and I'll be staying in their house for a week, so I thought it would be appropriate to bring a gift. I'm making my own little "gift basket" thing. They are a traditional, old Asian couple pretty much. I'm getting them some nice tea and a candle. I feel like one more gift would make for a good set..but what? Something sort of generic that anyone could appreciate. I know they like tea and candles. But yeah, any advice or input = awesome! :D Thanks.
--------------------
chocolate, or their favorite sweets. Or tea crackers/cookies. OR a box of matches with a fancy picture on the front to use with the candle. Or what about incense? It will have a whole relaxation/smell good theme. Good luck. That is really nice f you to bring a gift!

Best barbeque sauce you can order?

We are giving out thank-you gifts the night before our wedding at our rehearsal dinner. For my dad, I would like to put together a gift basket of barbecue sauces across the nation (or even around the world!) My dad loves grilling and barbecue, so I thought it would be neat to give him sauces that he's "missing out on" by not knowing about them. We're from Texas, so barbecue is a huge thing for us, but I'd really love suggestions for great barbecue sauce. I'd like to see what other states have to offer, because I know someone, somewhere has to have something good that we've never tried! I only have two requirements - that I can order the sauce either online or by phone, and that it comes in a small jar, so I can get him many different kinds. Thanks!
--------------------
Go to www.rudys.com. They have the best BBQ sause in TX, if not the entire planet. They even have cute gift baskets that come in a variety of sizes and heat of sause (sorry, that's how they spell it). And yes, you can order it on-line!!

Homemade gift ideas for boyfriend?

I'm wanting to make a few things for my boyfriend.. however I'm having a little trouble with making them not too cheesy, and trying to make them a little more manly, but keeping the personal touch at the same time :/ Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do? I'm thinking of making him a gift basket full of his fave sweets and a few more personal things too.. he loves my hugs and cuddles and so I've made him a ''hug box'' for when we aren't together.. it's a little box that you never open,but has a rhyme explaining what its for! .. but so far that's it :/ Guys, I would appreciate it if you have any experiences with homemade gifts, ones you really liked, and ones you didn't like.. just so I know what to go for!! Thanks in advance!!! xx
--------------------
Guys like food. Homemade cookies. Just put them in a zip lock bag. They really don't care about all the "girlie" frills of stuff. Try to think like a guy. A picture of the two of you together and framed nicely is a good gift too. Making a dinner of his favorite food is great.
