Put the paper filter in the basket. Add 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds for every 2 cups of coffee you'll be making. Put the water in the reservoir. (use the pot) Switch it on.

Well I just got a hot tub as well and the chemicals for the hot tub are always a most...go into a spa store and ask what you would need so you could get him a few things. Also if he just moved I'm sure he maybe in need of some food so maybe you could stop buy the store and pick up a few things than while he is unpacking you could cook him a homemade dinner.

This is so hard, help me with math please?

The cheer leading team is selling gift baskets as a fundraiser. Each basket will contain 3 different sizes of candles: small, medium, large. Small candles cost $1 each, medium $4 each, and large candles cost $6 each. The team has decided to sell baskets containing 8 candles for $24 each. Each basket contains as many small candles as medium and large combined. How many small candles are in a basket?
--------------------
Suppose number of small candles in the basket be denoted by x, medium ones by y and large ones by z. Now according to the problem, we have the basic equation as x+4y+6z=24 Also, x=y+z since number of small candles are equal to the large and medium ones combined Combining the above two equations, 5y+7z=24;.................(1) Also as the total number of candles are 8: x+y+z=8; or, 2y+2z=8 (since x=y+z).......(2) Solving (1) and (2),(I believe you can do that) y=2, z=2; So number of small candles, x=y+z=4. So, the answer is 4.

Destination Wedding: How to do welcome gifts?

We are travelling to St Thomas for our wedding, and everyone, including us, will arrive together. I think a welcome gift basket or something would be a very nice way to kick off the weekend, but I can't figure out how to do this...I'd like drinks and snacks, maybe suntan lotion and stuff, but how do I transport all that there, and how do I get it to their rooms? There would be about 10-15 baskets...that's not realistic for airline travel packed in suitcases. Maybe another idea to welcome our friends and family?
--------------------
It just too much trouble. Plus many hotels will charge you individual delivery fees to put it in each guests' room. Plus the pain inthe butt of people needing to take an extra piece of luggage home. Skip it. Or, right after people RSVP yes, send TO THEIR HOME thru the mail a sort of traveller's packet of information, maps, directions, etc, along with a little treat and lotions, as a prelude to the trip. Like, in a bubble mailer envelope.

okay, so my lil sis and I figured out how to make a personalized journal, now we want more...?

She has now been invited to two different birthday parties and has decided that she wants to make personal gift baskets for the two birthday girls. She is going to make a personalized journal for each and buy them a special pen each, she wants to make the rest of the stuff but what are some ideas she can do for them? She thought of sun mobiles but how would we make a sun mobile? Thanks again, she's getting too crafty for my non-creative genese LOL!
--------------------
Ok if your sis has a pic of her and the friend she is going to the party for then she could make a frame and insert the picture. She could buy some regular pens and a silk flower. Pop the flower off the stem hot glue it to the end that doesnt write. Wrap floral tape around the pen and there you have a floral pen. She could also use little pom poms or feathers for this. If she has the paper should could make envelopes and fold some paper to go with them for a little stationary set. She can do handmade cards, make bookmarks (cut the paper to size, hole punch the top, and use ribbon to tie through the punched hole) decorate the book mark and there you go. I hope these ideas help and get you girls going .... have fun .... that's a part of the creative process...**hugs**

I need help thinking of good christmas gifts for an 11 mouth girl ?

My school does christmas baskets every year. That means each class homeroom get a family donated by a church and the family members are divided up by the class. I got an 11 mouth old girl and i need good gift ideas. keep in mind they are kind of poor so they also need necessities gifts such as a blanket.
--------------------
I'm assuming that you do mean "months" and not "mouths" and I suggest that you get some clothes that are a bit bigger in age so she can get some decent use out of them as well as clothes that are suitable for next year, like summer clothes. Also as you suggested a blanket is a nice idea as well as a cuddly toy. What about a few items of non perishable food as well. This would benefit the family as well. Good luck.

Question on a gift for my boyfriend for our 1 year?

OK. So I'm making him a tiny book of a poem i wrote him and placing that in the middle of a basket with gifts surrounding it. The gifts around it are memories numbered 1-12 (one for each month). The gifts are small and correspond with the memory from the past year. Then the 13th gift is [ultra super cheesy part] for memories to be. Is it too much? Also, I want to add song lyrics to the end of the book. Any good songs that you know of to fit the bill? Aiming for more of an alternative or punk rock song if possible. Thanks guys! :]
--------------------
i have a cool idea. what i did for me and my x bf's 1 year is made a "365 reasons why I love___" scrap book. its good because it is just you and him stuff. no one else can share the memories etc. and it really takes time and thought and it shows you care idk, i made it a little scrap book and added pictures/tickets form things we say/did together and some other stuff...i forgot. our ideas are similar. maybe you can incorperate them somehow? idk...just a though not sure thoug.. good luck!

What do I do with all these baskets?

We are holding a benefit for my sister who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. It is at a bar. We have had many many donations from local businesses and have put them into baskets to raffle off. The problem is, we have 15 baskets! What are some other ideas on how to give the donations out, but still make money? One idea I had is, take 3 or 4 gift certs and after the baskets go off, combine all the rest of the tickets, and then pull from there. I have a few other ideas, but because the benefit is at a bar, I just dont think that the ideas and alcohol go together! lol. So please, any ideas??
--------------------
I like the silent auction idea. The number one most important thing is going to be to get the word out about this benefit event. It wouldn't be good if you're giving away $500 worth of baskets if you only make $200 on raffle tickets! If you do go the raffle route, have every basket out on display ahead of time. Draw one ticket at a time, and the winner comes up and picks the basket that they want the most. Keep drawing names until all the baskets/gift cards are gone. (There's only one catch to this idea - this only works if everyone who bough a raffle ticket is actually there! If not, you'll need a different idea.) I wish your sister a successful recovery. Hard times for her, you, and your family, I know.

--------------------
Does the event have to be at a bar ? That excludes sections of the community like underage kids and mothers with small children. Couldn't you hold it some place where everyone can join in. You could also consider auctioning baskets as a way to make money.

Gift idea to go with wash cloths?

I have my Aunt's name for Christmas. To start the present off, I knitted wash cloths for each season. I need to spend about $20 more. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe kitchen potpourri or something in a basket? Not sure where to get that stuff or if it's even a good idea. Any ideas welcome!
--------------------
Maybe some spices. Or a cookbook. Dawn dish soap.. You could do the spices and the cook book and put those in a basket.

What is a good gift to give a family?

I have 2 families I'd like to give presents to. One has 4 kids, another has 3. Any kind of non-cliche gift would be nice... the whole fruit basket or cookie platter is so bleh. I'm not opposed to food gifts, just something different or a way to spice up those traditional, cliche family gifts.
--------------------
maybe instead of the traditional gift basket of fruit and cookies, you can do like a "family night" theme. put some popcorn, a deck of cards, a movie or two, maybe pick up a board game or a puzzle, things that they can all do together. you can find TONS of different games at your local retailer (walmart , target, etc), you can get a few for not alot of money. throw in a disposable camera so they can document it. you can write "family nights only" on it.

What size tube for Trek Y3 Mountain Bike & what can I put in a biking gift basket?

I need to know what size tube goes to a Trek Y3 Mountain Bike so I can include some in a 'biking survival kit' i'm making my fiance for his birthday. I know the tube is a weird size because once he got one from walmart and the nipple thing was too big for his wheel.. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I'd love ideas from mountain bikers as to things I could put in the kit for him. I'm thinking a camel back, extra pedals, etc. Thanks!
--------------------
WOW! You have got to be the world's coolest fiance! Just a bit of terminology to make you sound even cooler. Tire tubes have valve stems. (There are nipples on bicycle wheels - spokes screw into them.) Anyhow, the kind of fat, rubber valve stem you see on a car is called a Schrader stem. The skinny, metal valve stem on some bikes is called "Presta." I am guessing he needs Presta stems and you probably won't tind them at Walmart. Your local bike store will have them, though. Try getting him 26x2.1, or so. (Anything close should do.) With winter coming on, your local bicycle shop should have a good collection of wool socks and long fingered cycling gloves to keep the extremities warm. As another respondent pointed out, a Crank Brothers Multi-Tools with chain tool is a great gift and you can never have too many. Also a derailluer hanger would stun any mountain biker with your thoughtfulness and anticipation of his needs. If he doesn't already have a closet of camelbacks, they are a great gift. Pedals rarely break so, I wouldn't bother with them. If you know his brand of pedals you can get some spare cleats, though. If he doesn't have a repair stand, they are costly, but make a great gift. A Park Tool race tool set falls in the expensive, but wonderful category, too. Food is always good. I love Lara Bars and Cliff's Shot Blocks. If his bike has V-Brakes or mechanical disk brakes a set of spare brake cables are good. Everyone needs a couple of spare derailluer cables, too. While you are at the bike store, buying cables, ask them for some metal cable ends. (Brake cables use a bigger cable end than derailleur cables, so ask for both.) BTW - When you explain your mission to the folks at the bike store, don't be surprised if you see their eyes well up with tears. Hope this helps you out and I hope you have a wonderful life.
