@ ` jenn
hrmmm
an external hard drive so he could store more music and movies
u could buy a cushy office leather chair, they're around $200
or one of those massaging things that u can attach to chairs
one of those tiny netbooks but they're around $500
if he's really into music, buy bose/sennheiser etc headphones/earphones

@ kiwistar
you could get them those mini sets of nail polish
cute stationary
stickers
kids are really into technology nowadays, so maybe something different like board games. for instance, monopoly has a children's version, as well as a monopoly version with the simpsons, star wars etc.
maybe one of those artistic kits where they make their own things

@ NoobCakez

i have ZILCH money (no job, too young ==")

for your friend, u could buy him a drawing journal, some stores sell them with awesome artistic covers. possibly with a pack of fineliners and grey leads.

maybe u and ur friends could get a group present, it could be cheaper than way. For example, instead of getting something by urself and spending $20, your group of friends could all contribute $10 or $15 each and u could get him something bigger and better.

for your sister, this won't cost u a cent but maybe u could make and print her a personalised calendar, on the comp, with each month featuring a different kpop celeb.

or you could create and give ur sis an " I owe u" card, perhaps something along the lines of
"when I have money, I owe you a special dinner at__________" and things like that.

@ discombobulate;
store vouchers are good but they're not so creative i guess
u could buy oversized stationary, i remember seeing oversized calculators, pencils and erasers
$10 posters that have funny images or signs on them, lol and if u look around u can find some funny bumper stickers too
there are some really unique rubbish bins as well, i bought my friend a rubbish bin that was in the form of a starbucks cup
U could go to Borders, they sell some pretty fun/unique stuff. They have items such as a calendar with the funniest or stupidest things said, chocolate with very interesting wrapping etc.

my friend is having her sweet sixteen at a hotel, and its formal = EXPENSIVE PARTY
i want to give a cash gift, what's the amount that you're supposed to give for these?

and
what kind of gifts do you get your parents for christmas?
the typical asian parents who are always "i don't like christmas i don't want anything" and don't particularly like anything
or have any hobbies. all i know is my mom likes dramas but i dont know what kind and my dad smokes which is a big no-no T_T

help will be greatly appreciated! thanks!

[sweetxxsoul]

for someone who's really into creating his own music?
or should i get guitar picks? or a mixed CD? or headphones?

[viviians]

& i was wonderin if i should engrave it...

[SYNsaish]

I'm still not sure about what to get my best friend that I've been crushing on for 5 years for Christmas. >.<

He knows a lot of random facts. He has pretty much everything he wants. He's one of those people that already have everything, so I'm having a lot of trouble getting anything for him.

So far this is a list I've compiled:

-lucky stars in a jar
-a jar of candy?
-a CD that I recorded for him

But I really don't know. Nothing really stands out to me. Help please. I want to get him something nice. Man...this is so difficult. T_T He's 17 by the way.

[1tym_kangta]

He's gone move to Texas at the end of month *CRIES*soo i wanna buy him a present that he'll remember it's from me!?

[bujahwee]

apparently this site have some very nice gifts!

www.vidafine.com

its exactly what i need i am just so tired of thinkin what to get for christmas presents!! lol too lazy xD

[Teknikai]

what should i get for a girl that isnt my girlfriend, but still she's important to me?

she asked for something heartwarming...but i dont know what to make or get...

[lovecubedlee]

hey guys
i need some helppppppp on what to get my bigsis for xmas
shes been helping me a lot edit my college application essays so i really want to do something extra this year.
she's given me some typical ideas like makeup and jewelry. yaddayadda. ive dont that before.
she's moving into her own apartment early next year so i want to get her something related to that....but i'm on a budget and i don't want to get her something huge like furniture cuz how the heck will we be able to store it until she finally moves out???
yeah..preferably something useful

thanks a lot

[YUNA!]

^get her a subscription to Rachael Ray magazine!
it has loads of recipes and other homely ideas, so i think it would be a great gift under budget! =D

[Wtf.Ciindy]

` jenn: if you buy him a scarf and hat...i think it'll be better if you knit it yourself and then knit your name and his name (or initials) on to it
and yah i agree with yellow post it, an external hard drive won't be bad (if he doesn't have one yet)

sweetxxsoul: it won't be bad to get sheet music for Christmas...but i think there are better ways
does he already have a program to create music on the computer? like finale? or Sibelius? or whatever other programs there is lol
because with those programs you can create it on the computer and print it out...it's a lot easier than writing it out and erasing it
well if he doesn't have it then you can get him that xD

[litoxshortaii]

lovecubedlee, some random ideas:
a book with decorating tips. ive seen some cool books that give ideas on choosing color themes, stenciling etc.
a cookbook along with some cooking equipment like a mixing bowl, whisk, blender or something
something from bath and body works, because you can never have too much soap haha
a gift basket with a mix of the above like body wash, a cookbook, a mug etc.
a jewelry box with earrings, a necklace and a bracelet inside

i hope that helped a bit. urbanoutfitters.com has a lot of cool stuff under "apartment" so maybe you'll get some ideas (:

[snowytearz]

oooookay my girl friend's 18th is next month
I wana get something engraved but I don't know on what (necklace, bracelet or something else)
& I don't know what I should ask to be engraved >o<

[manlytoe]

soompi! i need your help. so i have friends right? but i don't know what to give'em. what do guys like? what do girls like? i mean, i'm a girl and all, but i'm kinda different. i'm not a shopper at all and i don't know. give me tips please?

[Wtf.Ciindy]

^
well first off...what are your friends like? is one of them really girly? or likes to cook? likes to read? play sports? etc?
then once you know what they're like it'll be easier to decide

[ix3katz]

damn i looked through so many pages n i still don't have any ideas

anyway i'll contribute


- christmas ornament that allows you to put your own photo on it + record a short personal message (selling at the source for $10)
- pic frame ...with a pic of you + your bf/gf an then decorate/customize the frame

[imtoghai]

Hey guys! Since Christmas is in five days, I'm trying to figure out what I should give my friend for Christmas. She really likes Common and Pharrell/N.E.R.D. but I have no idea if they're selling anything new out. So if anyone would recommend me something to give to my Common and Pharrell/N.E.R.D. loving friend, it would be greatly appreciated!

[rubyx]

What should I get an 80+ year old grandma who always insists she doesn't need anything? I was thinking about curling her hair, but she might not go for that either.
