^^ You should get him a USB flash drive. Then put your pictures, songs, etc in there. Anything you guys have together and stuff. It'd be cute smile.gif

I need help trying to find a house warming gift,
its for this girl I really like..
Shes moving in one month to her new house,

her parents dont know me, so its best i get something pretty good, but not TOO expensive!

Try Winners (omg great place) to get wallets. <-- those are the types of wallets like Tommy Hilfiger, CK, Perry Ellis, etc. If you're looking for the whole plasticky type of wallets that don't feel like leather, then try stores in the mall that sell their own brand. Or multiples of brands such as Quicksilver or whatnot.

FOR THE PARENTS
i've never really done this before so i'm def. clueless.
please help!

Try making a dish with the veggies they gave you. You can ask your mom to help.
Like if they gave you potatos, make potato salad... catch my drift?
www.xanga.com/koreancooking for some good and relatively simple korean dishes.

Your s/o's parents sounds super awesome!

Mmm.. It's almost one-month for my boyfriend and I and I am not sure what I should do or get for him...
I'm afraid I tend to spoil my boyfriends.. but, compared to some people who have money dry.gif I don't think this is too much.
I got him a stainless steel and rubber bracelet.. it's cool because it's light and not too thin, black and silver that matches his earring.
I also planned on making a heart shaped letter or card and writing about how I feel for the past month. That, and probably a picture of me and him (drawn).
I don't know what other couple-ly thing to do... He's not like the manly man type of guy, he's actually pretty sensitive o.o I mean, he won't mind couple t-shirts, so I don't think he'll mind anything else.

Sounds like a good idea! But if you've only been together for a month, you might be going overboard. I think it would be good enough with the letter and drawn picture. You don't have to buy him anything.

I'm looking for a gift for my dad since it's his birthday. My limit is $15, it's cheap but I don't work so it's the best I can do

I'm guessing that you're young and not working, and if that's true, I bet he'll understand that you can't afford anything ballerish.
Maybe you could leave a long voicemail on your dad's mobile phone, telling him how much he means to you and how much you love him, etc. Just write it all out first and call him after he falls asleep to make sure he doesn't answer it. It's a lot easier to do, and less harder to say what you've always wanted to say to him.
Or you could take that money and put a post it note on it with, "Allowance! Love (your name)" and sneak it in his wallet. haha

i need help fast:
my boyfriend and i are getting ready to part since we're both leaving for college real
soon after this summer is over, but our anniversary is the day before I leave so I want
us to spend that day doing something very special, a memorable moment...but IDK what.
of course we'll go have dinner and all that stuff, but what should we do and what should i get him?
help?
thanks!

Go to the beach or a public park and have a picnic. Any kind of date where you two can really talk and where there's not a lot of distractions is good.
When it starts to get dark out, bring those small candles, like the ones you get 12 for $1 and scatter them around you two.
Do something really cheezy! You don't know when you'll see each other again!

help would be appreciated~
my 2 year with my boyfriend is coming up.
we agreed on a $100 gift budget. any ideas?
i want to get him something nice and memorable.
my friend suggested a dog tag. but im not sure about that haha

Does he like male accessories? (necklaces, earrings, watches, etc)
If he does,
Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch
I just got this for myself sweatingbullets.gif
I don't have anyone to buy me things... heh heh
It honestly looks and feels like the expensive watches like TAG or Rolex.
This model's style is actually 'borrowed' from the Rolex Submariner.
I bet he'll think you spent 3 times the budget!

Read the reviews on the site.

How about you dump him and date me? haha
I don't really have much advice for you, but I suggest not spending that much money on him. If it's to the point that you were thinking of buying him furniture for his birthday, you've gone too far. haha
Go to those party stores and get him the birthday hat, ribbon, the sound making thingies, poppers, and just flat out embarass him at a restaurant. He may not like it then, but it will definately be a memory.

i remember reading in an earlier post about buying a garbage can (those small plastic ones from like..wal-mart?) and filling it with stuff. you could put like a picture frame with the two of you and some other stuff in it and to make the stuff lifted up you could fill it with like shreaded paper or something lol.
as for her parents you could get them a flower vase?or dinnerware? i've never had to buy anyone a house warming gift so i don't know xD hope i helped.

Ah so I'm getting a gift for my guitar-playing boyfriend. I decided that I should get him a music book along with the 13.5 cookies (for 13.5 months!) and cheesecake I'm going to bake him.

But the thing is... WHERE THE HECK DO YOU GET PRETTY MUSIC BOOKS?
You know, those books with the music bars in them for writing down music?
Wait actually..........if he plays guitar, would those regular music lines (like for piano) be useful for him? Or are there other special types of music paper for guitar. sad.gif Help.

My bf's stepdad's 31st/32nd bday is coming up. We both have no idea what he would want. What we do know is that he's a workaholic, likes Shakira, loves Chinese food (Asian food in general), Mexican food, and likes to bbq. He's planning to celebrate by bbqing. I'm am willing to spend anything from a range to nothing to $40 (when I say nothing, I'm talking about possibly doing something artsy for him since I love to draw, photoshop, and paint sometimes). Any ideas?

Ooh.. presents for these kind of people are the hardest!
You should make him a card and tell him to open it in front of you.
It could have something inside like, "I didn't know what to get you, because you seem to have everything you want and need, so I'll give you something that's priceless... ME!" haha
Then take him to an amusement park or the beach. You can bring hand-made sanwiches and bring candles for later in the night to lay around the sand.

Grilling Gear
If he's going to grill, you might as well get him a nice set up knives and spatulas.
Plus, it seems very thoughtful because he'll know that you tried to get him something he's really interested in.
