Mom's 50th Birthday!! Gift Ideas?

Mom is turning the big 5-0. My father, my brother, and I are throwing her a surprise party and flying out her friends from back home (we moved awhile ago) and we know that "being thogether is the best gift" but seriously... we want to buy her something. She doesn't like any spa things, clothes, or jewelry since that's always what everyone gets her, thus asking you guys... We're putting together a basket of good gifts and gag ones. We've already got custom m&ms, a custom wine glass, and a slap-chop (inside joke). Be creative and thank you!!

For my mothers big 50, I purchesed a dancing skeleton. Of coarse her bithday is in October, and I am not sure were you could find one in May. This article was for Mothers Day gifts but they will work for birthdays.

--------------------
that's a great idea :D probably at first you wouldn't make so much money but advertise its the best way to go have ads in the newspapers, magazines, radio, tv & in local churches & so on give discounts at first to bring people in every business doesn't start with making a tons of money unless its like a big brand store but have affordable brands like marys bridal, forevers yours, & sell more expensive ones like maggie sottero & so on everybody has different budgets but good luck ;D

Christmas gift ideas for my Boyfriend?

We've only been dating a couple months, and are not yet sexually active, so nothing like that please I'm on a super tight budget, and have this idea for the 12 days of Christmas. Day: 1. Picture of the two of us, in a nice frame 2. Cologne of some sort 3. Gift basket- What to put in it? He doesn't really like chocolate, and cookies hurt his tooth... NO clue what to put in this basket 4. Superman movie, tshirt, poster, or boxers or something *he's MY superman, That's what i call him* 5. 70 things I love about him... one for each day we've been dating 6. Homemade card.. or something 7. Funny Movie he HASN'T seen. *he's seen a LOT of movies* Jim Carey is his favorite actor, this'll be a toughy, but I'll figure it out, since you guys don't know what he has and hasn't seen 8. I guess this could be me getting ungrounded, cause I havent been able to see him outside of school for like a month, but i want a GIFT..HELP! 9. blanket I make by making cuts and tieing to fabrics together 10. HELP 11. HELP 12. Love Letter He's REALLY into cars, but can't drive until he turns 18 in June. His teeth bother him, so not a lot of edibles,
--------------------
3 - For the gift basket, put random little things like socks, boxers, razors, aftershave, hair gel, movie tickets, mixed or blank CDs, etc. Go to CVS, they'll have tons of things! 8 - Take him on a date, since you haven't seen each other outside school! Go to a movie, iceskating, to a restaurant, etc. Or, make him a fancy dinner. 10 - Get him a mini tree and hand decorate all the ornaments on it. 11 - A giftcard to Bestbuy or an auto parts shop

Need help with gift for my SIL....?

Hi Ladies, I know this is the wrong section but i'm always in here and I need some help! I have bought my SIL some baby gifts and I would like to put it all together in a box/basket and wrap it up with a lovely bow - Basically set it out like a gift basket thingy. I've looked everywhere and can't find something for it all to go in! So any ideas where I can get a gift box/basket? It's all unisex stuff because she hasn't had the baby yet. Thanks xxx
--------------------
hi. i make gift boxes alot and have found out that craip paper or tissue paper works best. just buy a nice basket, tissue paper and clear celephayne, will also need ribbon and sticky tape. all up it cost me around $10 australian, which is very cheap. - wrap a ribbon around the handle like a spiral and put a bow on it. - line the basket with the tissue paper, two colours works best, making a - star shape from different layers, so that the corners poke p and out. - arrange your presents nicely and prop them up with more paper. - clear celephayne to wrap the whole thing up. place it under the basket and bunch it up and tape the top bit and put another bow on it around the tape.

How do I change a particular word to all caps and only the first letter of every other word to caps in EXCEL?

Example: Sunny's gift basket needs to show as SUNNY'S Gift Basket.
--------------------
If you want to change a variety of entries (i.e. sunny's gift basket, bob's flowers etc..) that are all in one column, use a formula like what cozmosis suggested. Modify that formula to the following if you need it to work for one word names that have no spaces (i.e. Maria's). =UPPER(LEFT(A2,IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A2)), 255, FIND(" ",A2)-1))) & IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A2)),""," " & PROPER(MID(A2,FIND(" ", A2)+1, LEN(A2)-FIND(" ", A2)+1))) If "Sunny's gift basket" is the only term you want to change then: >Highlight the entire sheet >Go to: Edit > Replace (or shortcut CTRL+H) >Find what: sunny's gift basket >Replace with: SUNNY's Gift Basket >Select: Replace All

'manly' christmas gift that boyfriend will really appreciate?

So, to start with, for all practical purposes, let's just say that we've been dating for a long time. There's no need to be nervous thinking about what he'll like or not - I'm just looking for extra ideas. I gave him part one of his Christmas gifts.. which is a split heart key chain that has my name engraved in it [I have the other half with his name engraved in it] but now I want to get him something 'manly', like 'guy stuff' that he would really appreciate. He works quite a bit, and his back hurts all the time.. and he's tired a lot and not getting enough sleep because juggling school, work and a girlfriend is tough. So I'm looking for things that will help him out and make him feel better..I was going to get a little gift basket and fill it with little [or big] 'guy stuff' that he could use and be really thankful for- what should I put in there? So far, I was thinking.. couples massage gift certificate, money clip, boxers [would silk be good? or just plain cotton?], a small grooming kit & little bath items [because i know guys like to look good too], one of those cheap plastic ball massagers that you roll on someone's back, a little 'sexy' coupon book, a couple of his favorite DVDs, a CD mix of all of 'our' songs that we have memories from over the years [okay, that's a bit mushy but he likes stuff like that].. I'm probably not getting him every single one of those things, but I'm just making a list for now to see what I can choose from. So, what else do you guys think I should add? I appreciate answers from girls as well but I'd really love to get this from a guy's perspective - what's some nice 'guy stuff' that he'd love? I can give him plenty of cute little gifts showing my love, but for this gift I just want to give him something he'll really appreciate. Guys - don't hold back, what are more things I could put in the gift basket? Something maybe he wants but is too proud or shy to ever ask for? Or any suggestions on how to expand on the ideas I already have? Just throw whatever you want out here. I'm totally ears. =) Thanks! p.s. As far as budgets go, it's super flexible. So throw out any super cheap or super expensive ideas. I'm a big fan of homemade things, too.
--------------------
get him something that he can make a hobby out of like idk...crafts, i know it sounds girlish but like model cars or paint, or maybe you can get him new tools if he likes to fix things a massage chair is always good... a heated massager is also very good. maybe if he likes music get him a guitar or and instument that he likes... comfortable shoes are always nice like house shoes cotton is better as silk can get kinda uncomfortable for a guy

What is a good arts&entertainment themed white elephant gift?

I'm taking part in a white elephant christmas exchange with my boyfriend's family. The limit is $30 and the presents should be gender neutral and must be Arts&Entertainment themed. Any ideas? I'd like to maybe do a basket or something instead of just buying 2 random DVD's and calling it a day.
--------------------
Buy a book that's not expensive and hide 30 dollars in there. Don't tell anyone that money is in there and watch while everyone frantically tries to get rid of this book. It's so funny. One year, my husband wrapped up a 3 pack box of tennis balls. No one in the group wanted tennis balls and besides, it looked like a horrible gift. (no one we know even plays tennis). Once the game was over, and everyone was thrilled with their gifts, (except for the person who got stuck with the tennis balls), he showed them that he'd slit a small hole in each of the balls and put 10 dollars in each one. It's amazing at how money changes everything. They were thrilled and since then, everyone tries and figures out which gift is my husband's because he always gives money. Gifts are hard to pick out but money is something everyone likes. I hope this helps and I hope that you have fun. :)
