My friend is a girl. I am going to her party TOMORROW so I need something fast to get. It can be a like a basket of things. I dont want to get her gift cards. I havent seen her in awhile and I dont really know what she is into. She is girly and a little boyish. Pink and orange are her room colors. Please help me
--------------------
Go to Target and see if you can find something cute - a squishy pillow, etc. for her room. You might try Limited too or Justice if there is one in your area. Also, Webkinz are a big hit around here! Good luck!

I understand that Jehova's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas, Birthdays or other holidays....?
Are they allowed to accept gifts or eat treats from these celebrations? A vendor recently brought us a gift basket that had the holiday theme, some of my co-workers who are Jehova's witnesses ate the treats from these baskets, so what gives?
--------------------
It seems rather obvious that many or most vendors which give gift baskets do so with a view to improving their own prospects for future business and profits, rather than in some effort to celebrate a holiday. A typical Jehovah's Witness would understand his brother or sister's decision regarding such baskets to be his or her own, to make according to his or her conscientious and actual understanding of the "gift" (or perhaps "bonus"). It is well-known that Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate pagan holidays, but they also do not superstitiously reject something merely because it has been tagged by someone else with a holiday nickname (or not, as seems to be the case with an unnamed vendor gift basket). For example, fruitcake does not become unacceptable simply because it is sometimes called Christmas cake. Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses work to please God and Christ, and understand that no seeming "loophole" could ever deceive the divine judges who can read the heart. ...(1 Samuel 16:7) Mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is. ...(Jeremiah 17:10) I, Jehovah, am searching the heart, examining the kidneys, even to give to each one according to his ways ...(Mark 2:8) Jesus, having discerned immediately by his spirit that they were reasoning that way in themselves, said to them: "Why are you reasoning these things in your hearts? ...(Genesis 18:25) Is the Judge of all the earth not going to do what is right? A Jehovah's Witness may choose to accept a bonus or a gift if he sincerely believes that the giver intends it to be something other than an aspect of a pagan celebration. It would seem that a critic who pretends some special insight into the conscientious thoughts of another may benefit from professional counseling and the bible's practical advice. ...(Psalm 119:69,70,78) The presumptuous have smeared me with falsehood. As for me, with all my heart I shall observe [God's] orders. Their heart has become unfeeling... Let the presumptuous ones be ashamed ...(Proverbs 11:27) He that is looking for good will keep seeking goodwill; but as for the one searching for bad, it will come upon him.

Bridesmaid Drama!!!!!?
so this weekend my mother was telling me that my brother's fiance isn't speaking to her. my brother's fiance is going to be one of my bridesmaids. my mother wouldn't tell me why she wasn't speaking to her, and my mother was very upset over this. in tears, etc. so i finally got it out of my mother why my brother's fiance was not speaking to her...... she was upset because i am having gift baskets to give away as prizes at my bridal shower and she thinks that this was HER idea for HER shower and i was stealing her ideas! like wtf! doesn't everyone give away gift baskets as prizes for a bridal shower?!? she was also mad that i chose navy blue as my bridesmaid dress color and SHE is having an ice blue color. so she thinks that i am copying her on this factor too! i chose navy because it is my favorite color! not because she is having a different shade of blue. so my brother's fiance called me and told me that she would not be participating in my wedding because i am copying....

OMG... can you say BRIDEZILLA.... (not you, her) She needs to grow up and be an adult.. As you can tell it is probally better that she not be in the wedding.. if she cant deal with small issues in an adult manner she needs to walk... If she had an issue with anything she should of came to you and discussed it with you, not your mom.. Just let it go.. She is the one showing her immaturity.. I dont see anything that you are copying.. You are your own person.. she needs to get a life.. My drama.. Didnt come from the bridesmaid side.. It was from the groomsman side.. One guy we called & emailed for a week and half giving him info and when to be there for things.. No response.. The day of the wedding, a no show.. We had to pull one of our ushers to fill in.. A week later I seen him and asked what happened.. He said his dad came down and he wanted to spend time with him.. About a week after he told the truth.. He didnt like weddings and just didnt want to go... JERK..

Sugar-free hard candy recipe? Splenda?
I'm making gift baskets for Christmas this year, and want to put homemade hard candy in it (by request from last year). However, my boyfriend's dad is diabetic, so I'm trying to find a sugar-free recipe. I'd rather use Splenda than anything else as it tastes so much better. He's diabetic, not taste disabled! I read on someone's post from another website that Splenda tends to clump. Anyone actually made hard candy from Splenda?

Hi Natalie Had a quick look. Some thoughts: The pink and heart theme looks a bit too lovey-dovey Valentine Day-ish to me. This is a year-round business, so maybe you need to make it more general. You do need a banner picture at the top. The site seems a bit bare without. You might consider a bit of sales talk for each of the categories - an intro telling people why a gift basket makes sense for a birthday etc, how it saves time and hassle. basic principle is to sell the BENEFITS, rather than the item itself. People buy benefits - a saving in time, convenience, originality, etc. - Why people should buy a gift basket rather than send an M&S voucher. Pictures load slowly. You may need to look at the resolutions (72dpi is standard) But more fundamentally, Wiltshire Gift Baskets to me (living in Kent) conjured up an image of Wiltshire specialities - whatever they might be - I dunno, maybe Wiltshire bacon. But the gifts are fairly generic. Nothing wrong in that, but it may puzzle people slightly. Is there actually an opening for gift baskets of Wiltshire specialities? - maybe. Now, other ideas to steer people towards the site (apart from the search engine stuff): "County' type magazines. Where I live, there are about 4 or 5, a few free. Write an article about the business for them. Not TOO sales-y, it needs to appear to be editorial. Most of these mags rely on such pieces, and welcome stuff pre-written - it saves them time. They might try to persuade you to advertise with them - resist until the business takes off. Local newspapers: again they are always crying out for material. If you can write a piece about your new business and make it not too obviously a self-advertisement .... Links with other sites - local business sites, wedding sites, local town sites. Good luck!

I need some original & fresh slogans for work. I need action words no more than 8 or 9 to motivate/inspire people to work, recycle and improve attendance!

True spirituality is a wake up call. Very few people in the world are really awake. Hence there is so much of sorrow and frustration. To be alert is to be awake. An alert person will not blame others but awaken himself. One has to learn to drive with care, as life has no spare. When God gives us problems, it is to humble us and not to tumble us. When one is alert, one can transform poison into medicine. Fear of loss exists in one who has not seen the joy of what one has. 'Be romantic in the company of females, but be aware that the Hawaii girls throw trouble makers out of the boat.' Love exists in the absence of the ego. In the eye of love a different quality of beauty opens up. The whole purpose of life is to sense an opportunity to see the magical morning within.

Anyone with some good mother's day gift ideas?
Okay, I fall into the same trap every year. There are specific days I have to shop for every year: mother and grandmothers' birthday, Christmas, and Mother's day. Christmas is easier than the other two for some reason. When I was a little boy, what I did was make homemade Mother's day cards and make breakfast (bowl of cereal and juice, lol.) Over the years, it seems I keep giving the same things: cards, flowers, candy, clothes, shoes, baskets, money, and I honestly can't come up with anything else. I usually get gifts for my aunts, mother, and grandmothers on Mother's day. I don't like to give everyone the same thing on the same day. Like, if I give my mother clothes and a card, I will give my grandmothers a card and flowers, and alternate every year. So any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. :-)

Can you help.... PLEASE!?!?!?
How would you advertise this... WHAT SHOULD I WRITE???... Mothers' day is coming (May 13th, America) , please tell me, is this a good idea, I sell Avon and my brother gave me this idea... (He said it would work for the men who just don't know what to get... and the men who work too late to go shopping...) make gift baskets... and do a "build your own basket" or a "You pick the price" where you tell me what you want in the basket and I put it together. And charge... Ex. Small basket: $2.50 plus the cost of the Avon products. Medium basket: $3.50 plus the cost of the Avon products. Large basket: $4.50 plus the cost of the Avon products. Do you think this would work??? would it work in a small town??? PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT TO WRITE!!!!

Good idea ....but why stop at Mother's Day? Keep it going for Father's Day,Graduations,Party Gifts...you get the idea I'm sure.The prices of the buckets are about right.And it can work.You may want to write something like this....( Let Avon and I help you build a fabulous gift basket for all occasions.I will personally advise you and help you make this a wonderful and fun gift.)Then print some fliers and get them out.You may want to make up a basket or two ahead of time showcasing maybe Mother's Day or a Baby shower.Have lots of samples on hand and you might even advertise in your local news paper.The cost of that is reasonable.You can even make up a few more baskets and host a build your own basket party.Punch , chips, dip,maybe a dessert and take orders that way.Let Avon know what you are doing so they will take note of your wonderful idea.Best of luck to you.

how do i keep my bread from falling?
I have a bread basket like this one: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/item… I can rise bread in it but when i put it on a baking sheet to bake the bread falls and i end up with a smoshed loaf... how do I keep it rounded? I've tried letting it rise with the basket upside down on the sheet but when i pull it off the flattens...
--------------------
When using the brotform, (bread form) you need a stiff whole wheat or rye dough. Also, dough very easily de-gases or collapses after the second rise, so you must handle it very gently. Very gently, roll the dough from the basket onto the baking sheet. It should slip out gracefully, without deflating. if it deflates totally—a small settling is OK—simply form it into a smooth ball, put it back in the basket, and let it rise again (only this time not quite as high). As you experiment with your recipe, remember that the day's weather, quality of the yeast, type of flour, and quantity of whole grains used can greatly influence the final rise of your bread. Do not use the Brotform basket for baking the loaf. Use it only for the rising. Here's a recipe from King Arthur Flour http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/c… This site shows the baker putting the brotform directly onto the peel http://www.artisanbreadbaking.com/discus…

I want to do gift baskets for Christmas, because we're just starting out and really low on funds. For my in laws we're going to do a basket including 2 movies ($5 each Wal Mart), popcorn kernels, oils, season shakers, fuzzy slippers for him and her, 2 mugs w/ cocoa packets stuck in them, a warm throw, and some homemade cookies. Same for my mom! For my brother we're all pitching in and getting him a wii and guitar hero (do they make that for wii?) For my husband.... I'm thinking a waterproof watch? What kind of watches can you take w/ you to Iraq? And some massage gadgets from Wal Mart he's had his eyes on! Do you have any other unique gift basket themes I can use?? Thanks!

making my own baby business?
I graduate from college next year and I'm looking to maybe start my own business. I would like to start off making my items and selling them online and then working up to my own store. I was thinking about doing baby items. Do you think this is a good field? What items do you think would sell well? Clothing? Slings? Gift baskets? anything else you can think of? I of course would try out all my stuff with my own kids and friend's kids first before I tried selling to the public. I also want to make things affordable. I always see people trying to see baby gift baskets for tons and tons of money! I found one today that was $150!! Of course all my items would be new but I would find great deals on them. I'm excellent at finding deals. i might do some consignment too. thanks for your help. oh and tell my mom's what r u looking for when you look for a gift or deals? thanks.

Are the favors a waste of money?
I am helping my daughter 19,(the bridesmaid) and the MOH 22, throw a bridal shower for my other daughter who is getting married in August. So another words, I am planning, paying for it, but their names are on the invite as the hosts and will get all the credit. Anyways... my question is... since most people feel that favors are a waste of money and get left behind at weddings, does the same apply for the showers? There will be 9 gift baskets given away between the games and door prizes, as well as there are 42 small items that will be given away during her gift opening (when the timer dings whoever's gift she is opening will be allowed to choose something from the basket of trinkets). So are additional table favors needed? What are some of you doing or have seen at showers you have attended?

considering you are doing so many other gifts i don't think you HAVE to do favors.... if you do favors, something edible is always great... i did a "tea party" shower and the favors were a packet of tea and biscotti, whoever doesnt' drink or eat those things just passed it to someone else. but at another shower we did "bath confetti", and i know for me, that stuff always ends up in the garbage. so if you do a favor and want to know it will be used- go with edible. much more likely it will be used! but with all those other gifts, you could skip it i think.

A small gift for the neighbor who mowed my lawn?
My neighbors have lived next door to me for 4 years. I do not know them well. They know I am ill often. Because of a few conversations over the years. My lawn mower broke and have not been able to get it fixed for almost 2 weeks.(the other side neighbor borrowed it and broke it and did not offer to fix it uggg) With the heat index of over a 100 or raining No one has been able to come fix it that I know. Today it is very nice out. Without asking the good neighbor came over and mowed my very high grass. I was to sick to go out and tell him thank you or anything. I want to go to our local grocery store and get them something to say thank you if I feel better tomorrow. Which would be a better gift with a thank you card? A fruit basket? A BBQ basket with steak, hot dogs and potato kind of basket? They are in there early 50's. And have a pool and grill out often. But is a steak basket to strange?

A Fruit Basket would be the best with a thank you card in it!

Gifts for departing seniors?
My highschool's senior night is coming up that is basically saying thank you and goodbye to the seniors. It happens this tuesday, September 26th, so I don't have time to order cute volleyball things from ebay or other sites because they wouldn't get here in time. What would be some cute things to buy the 3 seniors that has to do with volleyball and what stores should I look into? It could be an assortment of things like a gift basket or something I can even make, I'm just really drawing a blank. Thanks! =)

Well, since you're doing it on short notice- you could do things like give them a volleyball autographed by the rest of the team (have your three seniors autograph each others ball after you give them out). If you could get a volleyball with the team colors (Tachikara makes colored balls - don't know if anybody else does). I like the gift basket idea - but I have no idea what you'd put into it. There are two good volleyball resources that I've come across on the net - if you poke around there, you might find some ideas. Good luck to you.

Family Christmas gift idea?
I am spending this Christmas with my aunt and her grown children and their families. This means a present for 3 couples, 2 single women and several kids. The gift ideas for the kids and the single women isn't a problem but for the 3 couples it's a little harder. They all have one thing in common. Anything they want, they get. My budget is not a large one either. I was looking at the coffee grinders and thinking of making each couple a basket with a grinder, whole beans and a flavored coffee syrup. Does this sound ok or just another useless gift? If you have any other ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

If you have photos of them, you could think about caricatures of each couple. These are fun, and are a great talking point not only when given, but for them for years to come. They are not that expensive either.
