Hey, after all these Christmas parties with my family I'm still invited to some NY parties with friends and their families. Unfortunately I don't have much money left after all those major celebrations, but I'm sure there will be more gift-giving at those New Year parties. I need to come up with some reasonably priced gift items for friends and their families. Hopefully three sets of something as there will be three families there. Thank you guys for your help!
Hey guys! Since Christmas is over, I thought we could remember the gifts which we received and which appeared to be sort of "out of place", or simply not wanted. I can't call them bad gifts, as usually a person who's given a gift to you, had only good intentions, but sometimes this is just not enough to make someone happy. So yeah, lets share our experience of receiving "not very good" gifts :-)
Hi all, it's season of saving so I want to listen to your frugal ideas. Once I think out making ecards, firstly I do a collection of picture and wish words on the Internet, then use PowerPoint to make a slideshow, at last convert the PowerPoint into Flash animation with some PPT2Flash tools. I think people recieved my ecard via email are surprised and proud of me, but it seems that they took no interest in this idea. Christmas is coming soon so I really need your help to make my friend notice me. many thanks in advance.
Hi all, I've been traveling a lot in the past couple of years and did not have much time for family reunions or anything. It's been really hard to follow all family occasions, but especially difficult to stay in touch with little children. I have two nieces who were just babies when I left but who have grown up and don't really know me at all. This year I'm going to celebrate Thanksgiving with my brother and his family and I'd really love to establish a new connection with the girls. I do love them very much and I'm very attached to them since I don't have kids of my own.
Everyone is always looking for great gift ideas for someone who's hard to buy for, or someone who has everything. Everyone should consider doing something special for everyone. A gift from the heart is always better. There's a book called: The Ultimate Guide to Great Gift Ideas by Jamie Shaffer, on amazon.com, it's a great book (reference guide) and has gift suggestions to buy, and has clever homemade gift baskets which are also great, but the book includes a list of free and low cost gift ideas under each hobby and holiday.
Hi, we are kicking Halloween party at our place this year and I wanna impress my friends with some really cool decorations and effects. There will be grown-ups as well as kids at the party, so I'd like to keep all of them interested in the event. And of course I'd appreciate some money-saving tips for the party decor, preferably something home-made =)
Hey all! This Halloween I'm going to a party with my new boyfriend. And yeah, I'd love to stun him with my looks!! Cause all these costumes are so boring usually and I just have to look my stunning best. Please help with your ideas..
Hey everybody! Halloween is here soon!!! I wanna make a surprise gift to my young cousin. I don't see her much as our families live in different cities. And we've never celebrated Halloween together, but this year we are gonna do this and I will be doing this whole organizational stuff. I'm gonna get lots of stuff for the party and so on, but still I'd love to make a nice surprise for my sissy, who is looking forward to this day. Just don't have much to spend on this. Any ideas?
My sister got married couple months ago and now I'm invited to her husband's birthday party. I am not sure what to give him as a present. I'm not very close to their family but I know that he likes trendy things. Will appreciate any idea of yours.
Hey, I saw some of those sets at our local grocery store, they're nice and the price is reasonable, and besides you could always personalize the sticker on the bottle for every family. They will be glad to get some champagne designed specially for them!
Hey guys, what will you be doing on Hearts' Day? My single friends and me will have an overnight stay at a hotel and we'll go swimming on Valentine's Day. ;p What are your plans? Will you celebrate it with your families or your friends or with your special someones? :)
My brother recently bought a motorcycle for himself. Here's the thing, my brother's birthday is coming up and I want to give him a gift that would go well with his motorcycle. Thank you for your suggestions!
My friend would be moving into her new apartment. We, her friends, are planning to surprise her with a house warming party. What could be a suitable house warming gift? Thanks!
We'll be having a romantic dinner this Valentine's Day and I want to surprise my boyfriend with a stunning outfit. I want to wear something that would make her jaw drop. What could I wear to stun him? Thanks for your suggestions .
Making a big card for my boyfriend. Looking for ideas. I made a border around it with thread (handsewed all the way around the card). I want to put things I love about him in it. I am going to do a three layer heart that says Things I love about you and paste it on the middle of the inside left of the card. Then around it put reasons I love him. I am wondering ways to make the card not all 2d though. I want it to be very creative, thoughtful && romantic. I have some cute things to put it in it, but am wondering how to do it.
My girlfriend just told me that she wouldn't be around this Valentine's Day because she'll be out of the country for a business trip. It really made me sad because it's our special day and we can't be together. How could I enjoy my Valentine's Day?
My good friend is throwing a small party to celebrate his and his wife's first year wedding anniversary. I feel I have to give them something for this occasion. I want to give them something meaningful and useful for their marriage. They are a young couple, only in their early 20's, and do not have a child yet. Hope you guys could share some cool gift ideas.
