I need help with an anniversary gift idea?...

...My partner and I are celebrating our year and half anniversary. I need a gift idea. I want to create him something but I don't know what to make. Does anyone have any ideas?

"make one for him?good idea.
you have been dating for one year,so you must have taken a lot of pictures,i think you can make a digital album for him.this is a good way to share your pictures.and after the album is finished,you can burn it in a blank DVD,then give it to you boyfriend,
when he watch the album,he remember you.that's good,right?
this software may help you do that,Digital Album Master,adding background music,making slide effect...it can do that easily.
you can get it from http://www.makemymtv.com
and remember,this may need a little time to prepare.
but if you do this well,he will be moved.trust me.when you share the album together,he will know exactly how much you love and care him.and you sweet time can be saved in a meaningful way."

Some good ideas would be a photobook with pictures of you two already in it and room for more good memories to come.

If she has a Nentendo Ds, Wii, or some other gaming system, you could her a game for that or even some excesories like a new wii remote or something.

Since school is comeing up, maybe some new school suplies.

A calander. Open it up and include dates like our friend ship annaversery, your birthday, and other special days to you to.

Tickets for 2. Either to a movie or a basketball game.

A little piece of paper that says- "My present to you is a day out at roller ramma or bowling, just us, on me."

A computer game.

A dvd or blueray disk.

A tote bag from aeropostale and matching wallet.

Anything you would like that isnt to girly."

Gift for someone who recently moved out...?...

...Hi, my 19 year old sister recently moved out of her dorm and into a house with some of her friends. Her birthday is coming up and I'd like to get her something for the house or her room but I have no idea what to get her. She already has towels, dishes, etc. Any ideas?

I might just get her a gift card from target or ikea if i can't think of anything but would like to get her something. Or I thought maybe giving her a gift card from a grocery store (safeway, jewel, etc) that way when money is tight (because I'm on my own and know it will get tight ha) she still has extra money to go pick up things from the store. What do you think?>
I can't go to to target or ikea to pick something out for her directly because I live in Hilo, Hawaii and the nearest target is on the other side of the island...if theres even one there. An IKEA in this state? Not a chance.

"How about something to decorate the house? Or a nice couple of really cool cushions.
Or some cool cups (with swans on them!!)
-bedset
-new lamp
etc

Otherwise i think a gift card is a great idea so she can choose herself without worrying about spending too much :)"

Gift ideas for a 5 and 7 year old. (End of school Grad.)?...

...My husband is going to pick up his two children from a past relationship today. We have not seen his kids in 2 years. We keep in contact with them over the phone and internet. Reasons for not seeing them is due to distance. We are on one side of Canada and they're on the other.
My questions is;
I don't know what kids are in to these day, and I was wondering what would be appropriate for the two of them.
His daughter (7) just finished grad 1, and his son (5) just finished Kindergarten.
We promised them a gift when they finished school this year, so what is a good gift that would suite them. I dont know what they have at home, or what else they have gotten for their grad. All I know is his daughter loves Hannah Montana, and I am not sure what his son likes. I was thinking of clothes, but thats not very fun for them. Is they anything new out that kids their age are in to.
Keep in mind that I would like to keep in under $100 between the two.
I like the thought about water gifts. We live on the lake so it would be handy.

"It's hard if you don't know what they have at home. I would say water toys of some sort... it's summer and it will keep them outside and doing something active at least. I suppose you could do the gift certificate thing if you are mailing the gifts... somewhere like walmart would be good so they could pick out what they want."

Gift Ideas for a 5-6 year old girl?...

...My boyfriends niece is going to be either 5 or 6 (cant remember) next month. I have already decided on a gift card to Toys R Us...but I was thinking that I could get her something more from me. I was thinking maybe a robo dog..does anyone know if kids really like those??
I also thought about a sticker book, or maybe cosmetic kit (hello kitty lotion, lip balm, etc...) kiddie cosmetics of course....

"It depends. If the child is girlish she may love a barbie or a hello kitty cosmetics kit, one of those "smart" dog robots that bark when told are very nice too. I would also consider buying her a dollhouse(if she has many dolls). But a gift comes from the heart,and children usually appreciate a gift anytime."

Need gift ideas for Muslim friends?...

...My husband is currently deployed overseas, and has a Islamic interpreter who has been so very helpful to my husband and I. He has recently given beautiful gifts to me and my husband and I would like to return the favor by sending him something unique and family oriented, but I do not want to overstep the boundaries of his Islamic faith. What would be a good gift idea to give to him and his family, without being offensive to his beliefs?

Please keep in mind I am sending this overseas, and it needs to travel well. Thank you!

"What a nice idea. I would say to just stay away from something that contains or concerns alcohol, pork, nudity, something too personal, Christian or Jewish themed items/tones, etc. If they have children, I would stay away from some of the BRATS, Barbie, and other types of dolls or overly violent games. I had once purchased a back-pack with Tinkerbell on it and I got a raised eyebrow from the mother until she realized it was a "Fairy." She had come across other Disney Characters, but not Tinkerbell. I have found that coloring books for children are good (unless they are Precious Moments). My friend's daughter also really liked My Little Pony.

Does the family include a small child and would like to send a Pooh Bear? Is there something unique from your hometown/country that would be special? Is there something that the family cant get, but would like? I once had my one friend beg me for an adapter that would allow his iPod to play over his car radio b/c he couldn't get anything from Apple in Iraq. He also asked for a hat from a local university.

I'm not sure if you are American or not, but some things that might be good would be a hand-made quilt or needlepoint, perhaps a hand-made shaker basket or other type of American made basket, perhaps some toys for the kids, what about an American cookbook with measuring cups and spoons? I gave a friend a Bundt Cake pan, a recipe book, and a mix; they seemed to like it. Perhaps some native American jewelry or the like. Is there something from your state that is specific? For example, Vermont has those great Maple Syrup hard candies. If they have small kids maybe a Winnie the Pooh or Mickey Mouse would be good. Also some Dr. Seuss books might be a cute idea.

Before you think about what would be appropriate, first think about what you would like to get the family. And then, think about would it be offensive. I have found that we are more similar than different.

Good luck!"

I think I have the PERFECT fathers day gift... what do you think?...

...My husband recently got a job as an IT and is always having to get fast food on his lunch break bucause he can never get out for lunch durning the time the cafeiteria is open.

This is making an impact on our wallets and I would like to be able to cook him more meals. The fact he has to leave at 5 a.m. and lunch isn't almost till 2 p.m. makes me worry the food would taste pretty awful.

Anyway, here is my awesome idea. At www.thinkgeek.com there is a minifridge that duels over into a mini oven that gets up to 140 degrees.
Here is the link http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/6ad2/

He is also a HUGE soda drinker so he could store his vaste amount of Pepsi in them! :P

Tell me what you think. I really want to lean to something more towards the office because he is so proud of the fact he has one.

Please and thank you everyone :D

Is this a good wedding gift idea?...

...My friend is getting married in about two weeks and I have no idea what to buy her. I write poetry, so I was thinking of maybe writing a poem for her, and getting it framed. Is this a good idea?
she does not have a gift registry anywhere.

"To be honest-when you are first married, you need a lot of stuff. I got a few decorative things but needed cookie sheets and utensils that no one had gotten me. I think the gesture is nice but perhaps pair it with something practical from her gift list.

She might enjoy it! But also think about her having a new home to fill."

"When I feel really bad/sad I always feel better with some flowers. Flowers brighten up any room and they smell amazing. Don't get her roses though, especially if you're not romantically involved. A nice mixed bouquet would be nice, and if you think flowers are too much. You could get her a pretty flowering house plant. Attach a tiny card saying something about, heard she had a bad week and thought that this might brighten up her day, or be a good way to make a bad week bearable.
Its really sweet that you want to do this for her."
(answered by mydragonmoon)

"Why "buy" her anything? You don't want to start off a relationship by thinking that you have to buy her something.

I know you want to help her because she had a bad week last week, but what about just a nice romantic dinner.
A nice relaxing night.
If you can cook, that would be wonderful.
If not, what about a nice walk on the beach or in a park.

"You can't fail with a gift certificate for a major book store (we LOVE books! And it's an innocent gift with MAJOR potential). To make it all the more special (and personal) go online and find a template for a generic gift certificate as well. For that one, indicate that's it's for a "'fun day' anywhere" and throw in some check boxes for a dinner, lunch, movie, or video at home (put in her favorite movie) for before or after her trip to the book store. Tell her to choose anything she wants, or choose for her the new Harry Potter Book (or the first in the series, if she is new to it), and treat her to a home viewing of the first movie in the series (with more to follow). If you like her, she will see this as an innocent gesture with the potential for more."
