What should I get my new in-laws for Christmas? They're impossible.?

They're very well off and have everything they need and want, and they don't like anything that's not practical. They get dozens of goodie baskets from business associates, and personalized trinkets just aren't their thing. They don't shop or go out to eat (or go out at all), and neither use the internet, so gift cards are no good. They don't watch movies or listen to music. They're just impossible! They just bought a new vacation home in AZ, so I was thinking something for that may-be? They have all the basics already, though. Mom likes gardening, but she can't anymore (she's got MS), and she has no other interests... Dad likes fishing and golf, but he likes to buy all of his own stuff. He's also a history guy but he doesn't need any more books -- he already knows it all. I am so screwed. Please help. ANY suggestions are welcome.
--------------------
Some exotic flowering cactus for their home or desert lawn might be nice. Sun hat? An orange tree? A book of Georgia O'Keefe paintings? My dad has retired to the south to "golf his life away". I asked him who his favorite golfer was, then went and bought his putter! He was *wowed*, and this is a guy who doesn't get excited.

What do you think of this small business idea? Pics?

I have an inspiration to sell baskets like this on for all types of occasions. But I want to know if it's a good idea? I would also want to sell Centerpieces & party favors. I also have no clue on how much to sell them for. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k76/ch… http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k76/ch… http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k76/ch… http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k76/ch…
--------------------
It sounds like a good idea, in today's' age people have lost the creativity to do things like this for themselves. I'd say anywhere from $10-20 would be fair depending on the contents and complexity of the centerpiece.

Wedding planning- help! Purchasing??

Okay, here is what I have done so far-- -booked the ceremony location and reception hall -booked a dj -booked a reverend to marry us -applied for wedding license -booked caterer -assembled bridal/groom parties. all have their outfits already -bought bridal gown -ordered invites (wedding is 4 months away and invites are blank to be printed by me) Will be here next week -set up gift registries Okay, what do I need to buy for the wedding? It is in a park (ceremony) where it doesn't need decorations. The reception hall needs to be decorated a bit, which I want to use rice paper lanterns and bushel baskets of green apples. (Apple green, cream and chocolate brown are the colours). We don't want to use flowers, because a lot of my fam. are allergic and fake ones look horrible. Bouquets and boutinierres are being made from herbs tied in bundles. I want ECO FRIENDLY and BUDGET FRIENDLY!! We only have a budget of $1000 (NOT including caterer)... what do I need to buy?!
--------------------
You need to get a photographer as well. I'd get that one done fast if you haven't already. Look for someone that is easy to work with and that you like. You'll be spending lots of time with them, so make sure you can get along and they understand exactly what you want for shots. The last thing you need on your wedding day is the photographer getting an attitude.

if i found a snail in my kale, is it still safe to eat?

ok so i found a snail in a fruit basket i had received as a gift and i am wondering if if the snail contaminated the fruit? the fruit is pre-cut and the kale is underneath it
--------------------
It's perfectly fine. Just wash it. A snail can't 'contaminate' your produce. It's not poisonous & only leaves a slime trail, which easily comes off with water. You can use vegetable wash if it really squicks you out, but snails & bite marks on leafy greens is totally normal, especially if a friend gifted you with some homegrown organic treats.

Has anyone tried Soap & Glory products?

I saw these cute packaged products at Target today has anyone tried them? the sets look like cute gifts.Do you think its a cute gift idea. I'm making baskets with candles and lotions and that kinda stuff. thanks.
--------------------
I have only ever used "Sexy Motherpucker" a lip plumper. I love it, best stuff ever. I like even better than lip venom and cheaper too! Soap & Glory is kind of knockoff of BeneFit, but that's okay.

Ideas for a Christmas Basket?

So every year I put together Christmas baskets as gifts... this year, seeing how I am now 21, I decided it would be fun to do champagne baskets. My idea was to create hand painted glasses with a nice bottle of champagne. I guess I am just looking for more ideas! Anything helps!! Thanks!
--------------------
well i think that is a really nice idea. But you could also try maybe doing rum cakes with it. People tend to really enjoy them. Other themes, if your looking for would be- Movies- a movie, w/ popcorn, candy, maybe a nice wine(?) Winter- Hot cocoa, mug, marshmallows, etc. Cookies- Just a bunch of great homemade cookies Scrap-booking- Make small scrapbook filled with pictures, add litttle mementos, special to the specific recipient. Hope this helps. Good luck! Merry Christmas!

Please help me find a christmas gift for?

OK the army just stationed me and my husband here in Maine. We have met this marine and his wonderful wife. They have have been the only true friends here we have met. I wanted to get them a christmas basket full of different cookies. However I was talking to her a few days ago and that's what they are doing for us hehe.. Sweet of them but now we cant do it for them. What should we get them now? By the way we have not known them very long. We don't know what they would like. I know her 27th birthday was Oct and we took her and her hubby out to this restaurant, and a night out on the town, but we don't really know what they like. We norm just hang out and play board games but they already have all the games I can possible think of.. Please help any ideas?
--------------------
Same basket, different contents. Make a selection of different fruits. Make that brightly coloured to go with Xmas. A couple of Fiji apples with their bright pink skins; yellow bananas; peachy peaches; some kiwi fruits, a couple of custard apples and some lychee nuts, A punnet of strawberries to go with that; sweet, of course. Two Granny Smith green apples, a bunch of purple grapes and white, too. A couple of avocados and some bright red chilis, strictly for cooking. That should do it nicely. Add a bright red bow onto the basket handle or scrunch up a sheet of cellophane, red, and tie it on with a green ribbon. Or, since you are living in Maine, how about four bottles of red wine? Shiraz is marvelous. Nettle them into a cosy pad of scrunched red cellophane in your basket again, and add a note: "Thought you'd enjoy a red Christmas." And have a very merry Xmas yourselves..

Help with a silent auction.....?

I am a 21 yr old whose mother has Multiple Sclerosis and is bedridden due to the disease. I decided to host a silent auction benefiting the National MS Society. I am planning the event on my own and all extra costs are coming out of my personal pockets...... Any suggestions for baskets.?? Also, suggestions for how to get more donations. I have done well thus far but big companies (Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc... give me the run around because they donate to "select organizations that are pre-determined".? Any ideas would be great!!! Thanks!! I am also having trouble getting gift cert for like spa places and nail places. I don't want to sound ignorant but most are owned and run by asian influenced people (not sure if Vietnamese, Chinese, etc...) and they either don't understand me, or pretend they don't cause they don't want to donate.... I know they are good auction items but I also cant afford to spend more $$ buying things to make money for a charity..
--------------------
Perhaps you could try contact your local paper see if they will do an article for you about your story & your cause & ask for donations through them... & perhaps your local radio station too could do a shout out for you too? All the best, its a great thing you are doing!

Bad mothers day, what would you do??

I'm hurt. Today was my 2nd mother's day and I got a card from my 1year old and my step son, that's it. Don't get me wrong, I loved the cards… but I expected more or something from my husband. Last year I got these beautiful exotic potted flowers along with cards and dinner. SO here is how my day went - I got up early and went with my sister to pick up my Mom who lives an hour away. We took her out to lunch and then bought her some hanging flower baskets as we do every year. I rushed back home so that I could spend some of "my day" with my family. I thought I would come home to my family and would get a big "happy mothers day mommy" special time with them. I was looking forward to seeing what my husband had got me. I'm a total gift person, I know not everyone is BUT I am & my hubby knows it. It doesn't have to be expensive, as a matter of fact the more thoughtful the better, not the more expensive.…
--------------------
I see a lot of upset women on here today. I guess the guys just aren' into Mothers Day this year. I worked all day and evening and came home to a card on the bed and I just tossed it. So there are a lot us us that are pissed off tonight. I guess we just feel we need some recognition for our hard work. So here's to all the moms out there that had a crappy day. I salute you all.

Arts and Crafts Donations?

Donation Inquiry Dear Sir or Madam Long Story Short, I had a little girl born at 17 weeks and she did not make it.. she died in my arms. So, What I am doing now is decorating terracotta pots, plaques with my photos, using unfinished wood and baskets to donate to other hospitals, doctors and parents who go through the same thing. It is all donations; I do not keep any for myself. The photos are from my photographic website http://www.ericastjohn.com You can see some projects on the website I dedicated to her http://www.nicholenoelle.com/ or you can see ALL of the projects and who and where I donate them to at Erica's Arts and Crafts http://www.ericasartsandcrafts.com/ I also keep a scrapbook of all the projects and who they are donated too. If you know someone who needs a donation of these to cheer up such as a parent who lost a child or someone in a nursing home, I donate to those people and others as well. Unfortunately this whole thing has come out of my own funds and I am running low, but I want to keep the non-profit project alive. So, I wanted to ask you if you had any art supplies, terracotta pots, paints, unfinished wood, stains, brushes, printer ink, paper, or anything I could use to help create projects. Gift Cards from Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart, Lowes, Borders, Amazon, Barns and Noble or Home Depot would greatly be accepted as well. I think it is a great project, but I am running out of supplies and would like to know if there is anything you could do to help donate. Thank you in advance and I appreciate you taking the time to read and consider this. 573 557 3428 home 913 221 5510 cell Erica St. John 12 F Street Holt's Summit, MO 65403 erica.stjohn@gmail.com Erica StJohn EIN: 20 8060008 paperwork is on my way for the 501C3

Erica, I have ink cartridges from a couple of printers I no longer own. Chances are they will mot match your printer. Do you want them? I wish I could do more. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have been there and admire that you have turned your grief to something positive. Ali

is perfume ok to give a person in hospital?

as for etiquette? She is an older lady in 70's.. she is just convalescing for this next week before she goes home.. Her room is filled with wilting flowers many people gave her already, she has boxes of candy, fruit baskets, munchies, etc.. I know her favorite type of perfume and thought this might make her feel special if I got her a bottle just before she leaves the hospital.. I am thinking it might make her feel feminine around all the sterile hospital smells.. but my husband thinks this is an awful gift for a person in hospital and he wants to buy her candy, flowers, or munchies.. I told him to buy her those and i'll buy her the perfume.. am I wrong?
--------------------
No I think perfume is lovely as she is probably sick of flowers candy books ect. Plus older women like receiving perfume

Should i even care about my husbends Inlaws after this? *long* 10 points bet answer!?

Ok well first, when me and my husbend got married his mother kept asking him if he wanted to do this, i ignored it at first but now that i think about it, it aggrivats me bc i have never had an issue with his family befor. The day of the wedding NONE of his uncles or cousins went, they knew of the invitation but didnot show up, when we asked them why didnt they, they came out with the excuse "idk"....WTF! Well most of his uncles live in Michigan and we live in missouri, so i didnt get to mad untill i herd they came down for everyone elses. Now nxt, his cousin had a baby shower, they came down for that exactly a MONTH after our wedding. Now we are expecting a baby and NONE of them came to the shower and we havent received anything from his side only my side. His uncle gives out baby baskets when anyone is expecting a baby in the family...havent got anything and when my husbends sister asked if we was going to be recieving any he said he didnt know bc hes not the one who dies them, his wife is...and she questioned our marriage so i dont see us getting anything... I havent done anything to affend these people, i have showed up for any of their family events and such but have got nothing in return! We supported His cousin when she had her baby by going to the shower+gift and When the baby was born, she has done nothing for our baby.. Am i just overreacting bc im 36weeks pregnant or is there really a problem here. I dont want to ignor his family because i dont want to hurt him, he understandes that his family is being ignorant and dont know why but this makes me not want to even visit with them anymore...what should i do!? Please help, iv been sittin ghere crying all night so far because my family has gave and showed so much and nothing out of his but ignorants and they want us to give give give. Any advise will be helpfull and thankyou for reading!!
--------------------
you are not over reacting at all, there is clearly a problem here. his family clearly are against your marriage for some reason, and you know what, i wouldn't invite them to any events in the future, because simply they don't want to show and are very rude. they are treating you and your baby as if you stole their son/cousin/nephew, and it's really pathetic. i would be so blunt towards them, so they can have a taste of their own medicine, i wouldn't send them any baby photos, or invite them in after you have the bub, i wouldn't let them see him/her, i would just unattach myself from them, you don't deserve that, you have done nothing wrong. to be mature, i would sit your husband down along with his mother and would just say why are you treating us like this....polity confront them with your husband at your side. the answer will help you

I think it's a great idea! My sister-in-law designs and sells gift basket out of her home in Hawaii, and makes good money. The way she prices them is she figures how much it cost her to make them then double that amount. Do some research, (on line, ask relatives & friends, etc.)

Jergens help?

ok, so as a gift i got a whole basket of creams hair stuff and other products. This one bottle i receved is from Jergens and it is called Suavidad Natural. I have no idea what its for, the whol bottle is in another language. The only thing thats not in another language says Naturally Smoth, shave minimizing Moisturizer. so maby its a shaving jell .....or somthing you put on after you shave? Any help?
--------------------
i believe it's a product that either smooths out bumps from shaving (razor burn) or, more likely, lengthens the amount of time you can go between shavings by keeping skin smoother for longer. either way, it wouldn't hurt to try the next time you shave!

Dilemma: Should I contribute to work-sponsored charity to provide Thanksgiving meals to soup kitchen?

I have volunteered at several soup kitchen and SHARE food pantries, as well as homeless shelters. I don't mind the homeless shelters because those people are usually in dire need--families with children who had been sleeping on the street or in their cars..it's just terrible. Now, the company I work for is trying to get its employees to provide baskets containing the makings for a full Thanksgiving dinner, plus some. I would normally say "yes!" however, the particular food pantry that will receive the gifts of food is one where I used to volunteer a lot. I stopped volunteering out of frustration with the unethical behavior of some of the so-called "needy" families; many of whom I knew personally to point of knowing their situations at home. We were giving out boxes and boxes of food, toiletries, Christmas presents, clothes, shoes... to people who owned their own homes, were in two-parent or partner situations, and had jobs. One woman even remarked that she loved the pantry because it worked out that "shopping" there paid her cable television and cell phone bills for a year. At the time I did not have cable TV, or a cell phone, and was barely getting by myself. I never took a thing from the pantry except a sense of honor and pride for being able to help people less fortunate than others. Now, I feel duped, frustrated, and angry. I gave of my time and money to help someone who didn't need it, and in affect, were stealing from others who were legitimately deserving of help. So: This brings me to my question. I want to do my part this year... BUT: I want to help the NEEDY, NOT the greedy. I've thought about finding a few needy families in my neighborhood and leaving parcels of food on their doorstep, but I know if I found a parcel of food on my doorstep, I would be suspcious and probably throw it out. It's just the world we live in. So how can I give so the needy anonymously, with the absolute certainty that my gift is going to a family who's deserving? Any ideas? Someone mentioned the Lion's club but I don't know much about them.

why not invite the neighbor hood needy family to eat with you Happy thanksgiving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmykFRHFU…

What would you want for being a bridesmaid?

I'm looking for some unique gift ideas for my bridesmaids. What are some neat things you have received for being in a wedding/what do you think would make a great gift? I'm for sure getting the girls a necklace to wear in the ceremony. I am thinking about also putting little baskets together of "pampering" stuff....mani/pedi sets, maybe slippers, compact mirror, bubble bath, gel eye mask...anything else you can think of? Or should I scrap this idea all together?! I'm looking to spend $50-$75 per girl. I appreciate your input :)
--------------------
I gave my girls matching necklaces and earrings to wear at the ceremony. One of my friends recently told me that she wears hers all the time. That made me happy. ^.^ I also paid for most of the bachelorette day activities, and paid for them to have mani-pedis, hair, and makeup done on the big day. I paid for more than most brides do, but one of my friends is still paying off her own wedding, and the other is a single mom. I didn't mind. If I was a bridesmaid (I never have been) all I'd want is a "thank you" from the bride, and to feel happy that she was marrying the right guy. Knowing my friend was happy would be the best gift.
