Gift Advice

my bf and i have almost been going out for a year now. i really want to get him something that shows how much a love him. he’s in the process of getting his pilot’s license and wants to be a commercial airline pilot after high school but is going to college just in case it falls through. he’s 17 going on 18 and i want to get him something he’ll use everyday. i already got him a nice wallet for christmas and an engraved picture key chain for his birthday.

i kinda want something i can also engrave a message on (i’ll take idea on that too)

I am going to London for the first time next month and I want an idea of some good gifts to bring back for friends. Nothing too expensive since I want to buy a few. Thanks!

It has to be something small, but I would like it to be something that he can always keep with him and will remind him of me.

such as for dad, mom, brother, grandmas, uncles, aunts, etc.
i also get my animals toys/treats too, I can’t leave anyone out!

I just wanted to know this now so I could get everything now and not have to worry about all the rush-around during Christmas time, lol.

places, how to introduce new search & items to find. want it to be sexy & tasteful. gag gifts for her man maybe???

My husband and I were separated for 2 years and our divorce was almost completed….the only step left to complete was the final hearing. We have since decided to get back together and would like to have a vow-renewal ceremony on our 14th anniversary (Nov. 2). There are things I’d like to include this time around that I didn’t do the first time, such as have my hair and makeup done, release butterflies at the ceremony, etc…. I’ve looked at some sites already, but I’m looking for more DOs and DON’TS…..and suggestions….I want this to be a really neat and memorable occasion, but I don’t want it to be socially unacceptable in any way (for example, I know that it’s inappropriate to ask for gifts at a vow renewal). What is acceptable to do? We plan to get new rings as we both pawned our originals, having not planned on getting back together! LOL We want our 9 year old daughter and 7 year old son to be involved, but we’re not sure exactly how…..our daughter has always wanted to be a flower girl and has never had the opportunity….would that be OK? Any ideas and input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Today was my daughter birthday party.To start off with my mom brought my rude sister who never speaks a word to me knowing this would aggravate me.I didn’t say anything and was as polite as could be.Then,my ex husband and I got her an ipod. When the gift was opened she turned to my sister and rolled her eyes. I thought maybe she didn’t know what it was and why we would choose that gift. So I said she is always stealing mine or her older brothers so we got her one.Do you Know what one is. She just started screaming I am not stupid and to old to know. She keept going on.I asked her not to yell at me there was no reason for it. She does these kinds of things alot how should I handle this situations in the future.
P.S. at my sons birthday this year we choose not to have a party to avoid any issues and she tried to kick in my front door numerous times and sat in my driveway all night to tell my husband I was having an affair with the guy in the house which was my husbands friend he had asked to go over there tell he could get off work. He works really late. Because he was afraid she would get through the door. She was out there for 7 hrs. I didn’t call the police because she is my mom next time I will though. My husband told her he too if it ever happened again.I am just out of ideas and so frustrated I just want some peaceful holidays and things with my children It happens over every get together on christmas she demands we spend almost the whole entire day and gets mad when my kids have to go to there dad’s or i have to go with my husband to his family. please help

Ok.. I need to think of a gift for my boyfriends older brother, hes like 26?. If it was up to my bf we wouldnt buy him a gift but Im too nice to give everyone else a gift and not him just because he probably wont get us anything.. I dont wanna spend alot of money, but I dont want it to look cheap. last year I got him a box set of a tie, cufflinks, and pocket scarf all for about $13 on sale. He’s kinda a wanna be Mr. Business guy, thinks he’s smarter then everyone else and what not. and is all about the more expensive the better ….Any ideas?

my boyfriend is leaving for college in two weeks and i think im going to end it because his college is about 18 hours away and he should be allowed to meet new people (thats what college is about right?) im still going to be in high school next year and was looking for something cutsie to give him when he left. i wast thinking along the gift basket idea (with stuff for college) but i have no idea what to fill it with (never being in college myself). any ideas are appreciated!
