What gift do I buy for a 40th birthday?

Q. It's for a mum at my sons school so I don't know her really well but I've been invited to her party. I thought of a bottle of wine and maybe chocolates or does anyone have any better suggestions?

Answer
Give her a gift card to Starbucks, or your local coffee place.

Chocolates are good, make sure they are truffles!!

I'd send her flowers in advance, and arrive and have fun, and the gift is already been delivered!!!

Can't go wrong with flowers!
Potted flowers.
Bulbs.

just enjoy.
it's the thought that counts, and not everyone drinks!

I would love slippers, things for the bath.
A gift certificate from Bed and Bath, or Victoria's Secret!

Can't go wrong wtih flowers or Gift Certificate!
How about a gift Certificate for a CD from the local music store?
2 tickets to the local movie theater!

just keep it simple.
enjoy the party!

her friend that know her well will give her the gold, silver etc.
don't feel out of place, just enjoy!!!

Party ON!!

My "little" brother is turning 40 this week and I need a gift. He doesn't smoke and rarely drinks. He and his wife and son are into four wheeling and they have an RV camper. I was going to get a gift certificate to Cabellas but someone beat me to it! Any ideas for something special?

Answer
I think a personalized gift is always the most special and unique

You can send a present, not too expensive or cheap, special is ok :)

What is a good gift idea for a first date?

Bentley

My brother is setting me up with someone from his bank. We have plans to meet up this weekend. As a nice gesture, I wanted to bring her flowers and burn her a CD of some R & B and some songs I think she'd like. Is that cheesy? what are some other ideas? She's a girly girl. She's 21 and I'm 26....

Answer
first date/blind date no gift

it is not cheesy but you do not even know her
don't appear desperate
just be yourself - nervous albeit -but she is probably nervous too

If she is rude or inconsiderate or ignores you or acts distracted; do not do the same back to her be considerate and ask if she would like to leave early or go back to ______________ make sure she is safely inside her car, house, apt, before you leave.

Do not let her walk alone to her car in any case.

if you do not hit it off you still be the PERFECT gentleman [girls talk and your behavior is also going to be a reflection of your brother] be very respectful and courteous, and try to make a new friend not girlfriend

if she is a knock out compliment the clothes or hair not her looks,
and if she is showing cleavage don't stare [this is difficult to do, but just don't do it] look her in the eyes
everyone has good features and qualities be honest and genuine


If on the date and you [both] are having fun you might buy her something small, a trinket or something, but nothing too expensive

if you have a second date - maybe take something you cut from the yard or neighbors flower bed nothing expensive but nice/pretty/casual

if you talked about music at all after you met each other maybe then the cd of the music you like or if you are both into music suggest for the third date that she can make you a cd of music she likes herself and you do a cd of music you like for her

this will give you something to talk about at least

hope this helps

gift cards first dates?

jesus Z

i was just wondering if its ok to use gift cards and coupons on first dates? i usually dont but recently a really close friend asked me

Answer
Never ever use coupons, you'll just look cheap.

A gift card may be ok, just make sure its not too odvious that it's a gift card. Some look just like credit cards and you can get away with using without your date catching on.
