What are some good birthday gifts?

P�

I'm bored and have nothing else to buy for myself, so im starting to buy my friends birthday gifts. What are some good gifts to give? Funny ones? Things below 100 please. I want them to be creative and cute. (btw, im in highschool if that helps) Thanks!

Answer
A good gift really depends on the person. But you don't need to spend much money on gifts--as long as it looks like you spent time on it any friend would appreciate it. Sorry if these are the cheesiest ideas you've ever heard, I am quite the cheeseball.

I know I personally don't enjoy getting gift cards; they don't seem as personal and I tend to lose them or forget about them.

If they're into fashion or cute accessories, get some supplies and unique beads or objects and make them a necklace, bracelet or earrings.
Or maybe a pair of socks or pajama pants with a funky pattern or funny sayings on them (when getting clothing, don't go for shoes, pants, or shirts--if they don't fit or they aren't your friends style they will just sit in her closet. PJs and socks are safer because they're casual.)

Also, try to avoid lotions, perfumes, makeups, or other beauty products. The friend could be nauseated by the smell, or even have an allergic reaction you're unaware of.

A decorated picture frame with a funny picture of you two in it would be nice to receive as well.

If you're just looking for a lighthearted something, get them a bag full of random little objects. Drug stores like Wal Greens, CVS, Walmart are good--you don't need anything fancy. Or in some stores like Claire's they have a 10 items for $5 bin in the back. Things like little nail polishes, keychains, bouncy balls, or any cool looking trinket that reminds you of an inside joke or memory with the friend.

Also, listen to them when they complain. If you remember that your friend's headphones just broke, they don't have anything good to read, or they're sick of the way their room is decorated, get something to meet their need.

16th birthday gifts for someone fussy?

cheska

It's my boyfriends 16th birthday in just over a month and I don't know what to buy. He got me an engraved bracelet worth £50 for my 16th so I want to make sure that his is special as well.
I'm thinking about getting 16 mini funny gifts for him that are just cheap and then one special gift but I can't decide what the one special gift should be. I would like to get him a bracelet but I don't know whether he'd wear it and I don't want to get the same as he got me.
His two favourite things are YuGiOh and Sonic The Hedgehog so if you could think of a special gift that's good to get someone you love and/or includes the things he likes then you will get 10 points.
Please help.
Also, don't say a b***job because that's not special seen as he gets them often enough, and will probably be getting one anyway.

Answer
Turning 16 is a definite milestone birthday that most teenage boys dream about for a long time. Sure they would all like a car, but in reality what they're looking for is a gift that says they are becoming adults. Sweet 16 gifts for a boy should be a bit more elaborate than what you would normally purchase and can also give them a taste of independence.

Driver's Training
Every 16-year-old boy dreams of getting a car for his birthday. But if a car is not in your budget, you can still keep his driving dream alive by purchasing driving lessons. Most driver's education centers are able to build a package for you, depending on how much you want to spend. Packages usually include a combination of classroom instruction and in-car training. This will give him the skills and confidence he needs behind the wheel to be a responsible driver, a truly priceless gift.

Electronics
Most boys are thrilled to get electronics for their birthdays. For their 16th birthday however, consider staying away from the video games and get them a more mature electronic. Ideas are a digital camera to capture their experiences, a laptop that can help with homework, or a cellphone that keeps them in touch with family as they start to gain more independence. The choices can be overwhelming, so if you're unsure about what to get, a gift certificate for a local electronic store will be appreciated just as much.

Tickets
Most boys have a favorite sports team or band, and getting tickets to see them live is something they will remember for a long time. Purchase two tickets so they can pick a best friend to share the experience with. If you want to get something beyond the tickets, consider getting their favorite player's jersey that they can wear to the game, or for an extra fee some arenas will even make a birthday announcement. If your 16-year-old is not a sports fan, a band T-shirt is a great alternative.

Birthday Gift.............?

Cosmicgirl

So I went in the coat closet because I was looking for a craft box because I wanted to make some earrings and stuff. Anyways I found a bag with a really pretty dress and an overcoat that my mom really liked for me a couple of weeks ago in a store. My birthday is in a few days so I can only guess that it's for it. But for my birthday I wanted something else, and it was pretty important to me. Plus I don't want my mom to spend so much money on a thing that I'll wear once, and that's not my style anyways. It's always been like this on my birthday, my dad for example bought me an expensive tennis rocket even though I hate tennis, but he loves it. It has always been expensive, never personal, but I don't want to be mad, but should I tell my amazing mom that she shoud return it, I don't want to be sad...?

Answer

Do you open gifts at a graduation party in front of the guests or wait til later?

gift for her first birthday image

Linda C

We usually open gifts for birthday parties for my son, but this is for my Master's Degree and I feel a little weird opening gifts in front of everyone. I didn't even want gifts, but I know that some people will bring something anyway. Thanks in advance.

Answer
When people give gifts they like to see the reaction of the receiver when they are opened. It is polite to open them and act surprised and grateful even if you're not. Be gracious & share your delight!

What's a good Christmas gift tradition for me and my boyfriend to start?

gift for her first birthday image

Laura

So we're saving the really thoughtful gifts for birthdays and valentines day but we would like something fun and creative to do for a christmas gift. Preferably something we can do every year as a tradition but put a new spin on it. Any suggestions?

Answer
You may do them on top of gifts.. but christmas stockings are a great thing! They are perfect because you can go out and get lots of fun little things and you have lots to look through! Another fun idea that is kind of like stockings would be a christmas box. Get a box from the dollar store that you feel is the appropriate size. Every year your gift has to fit in the box and you can add a rule every year. (ex. something with red on it, more then one thing, it has to have handles) Or a nice photo album. Every year you take all of the pictures from the months before and put them in a nice album, great way to keep memories. Sounds like you guys have it all workede out, so Merry Christmas and I hope I helped (:

How to redeem Sephora birthday gift?

Vanessa

I signed up for the Beauty Insiders for Sephora. It said in my account that I can redeem a free birthday gift. My birthday is April 1. If I go redeem it at the store do I have to go before my birthday? And do I need to buy something at the store to receive it?
Thank you for your answers.

Answer
I believe you can go a week before or a week after. It's safest to go on your birthday. Just go to the cashier and say it's your birthday and they'll ask for either your beauty insider card or your e-mail. No, you don't have to buy anything.
