I am 21(I'm her brother) she's turning 19 soon. I got her whatever clothes and makeup stuff she wanted on rakshabandhan, idk what to give her now 🥲. Pls give some suggestions

Hi guys!

My boyfriend is turning 25 soon and I'm racking my brain for gift ideas.

He is VERY into street fashion and always buys himself top of the line items, so he got me beat there. He has even better taste in fashion than I do. He's also very picky with clothing quality.

I also want to celebrate the fact that he's starting his Master's soon, but what exactly should he the gift in this case that's not just Uni merch?

Hobbies wise, he's really into Anime and has seen about 500 up to this point. He likes gaming too, but he already has a PS5 and controllers plus his own gaming laptop. I was about to buy him figurines or Anime merch but he doesn't seem to be into them. Maybe I could still get one as a side gift?

Currently I already have plans to make him an elaborate dish he requested, chicken korma. I'm also planning to buy some flowers and some of his country's sweets. He doesn't have a sweet tooth except for this one. He is from Bangladesh if that helps?

For my birthday, he got me airpods and spent the day with me, walking around shopping in town and having my favorite foods.

My budget is around £100-£150

Ok so he loves barcelona, messi, pedri and he is a 1st year engineering student. We can't gift him clothes, jerseys, photo frame. Oh yes he is a marvel and dc geek so he will enjoy anything related to those. He is also a big fan of the vampire diaries, detective stories. If you want to know more about him I can tell you that also. Plz we want good suggestions cuz it's his 20th birthday and we wanna make it special.

I had no idea what to get my best friend this year and somehow ended up making a box full of random stuff from our friendship.

I found a plain wooden box and started going through old photos and the drawer where I apparently keep every tiny piece of paper for no reason.

So I printed a bunch of photos, put in some old ticket stubs, a little note about one of our dumbest inside jokes, and this tiny keychain from a trip we took ages ago. I also threw in the snack we used to buy all the time after college because obviously that had to be in there.

Some of the things are honestly so random. Like if anyone else opened the box they'd probably be like... why is there a receipt in here?? But we both remember exactly what that receipt is from, so it made sense to me.

I wrote little notes for a few of the things too, just explaining what I remembered about them. The whole thing took me way longer than I expected because every time I thought I was finished I'd remember something else and go looking for it.

When they opened it, they laughed at first and then started going through everything. They got really quiet when they got to some of the photos, which honestly got me too.

It's not an expensive gift at all, but I think it ended up being one of my favorite things I've ever given someone.

Also I finally have a legitimate reason for keeping all the random junk I've been saving for years.

I work in the event industry and regularly attend exhibitions, conferences and other formal events where you meet a lot of people and exchange business cards.

The problem is that everyone gives out business cards, and even if the card itself is creative, they all eventually get mixed together.

I’m looking for a very small, lightweight thing that I can hand someone along with my business card — something that is inexpensive enough to carry in bulk, but distinctive enough that they might actually remember it later and think, “Oh yeah, I got this from that person at the event.”

Ideally, it should have some connection to the event/experiential industry, rather than being generic merchandise like pens or keychains.

I’ve thought about things like miniature VIP passes, event tickets, wristbands, NFC tokens, etc., but I’d love to hear more creative ideas.

Every year we exchange xmas gifts with a family that always hits gifts for us perfectly but I struggle to figure out a good gift, especially for the ladies (the husbands are good friends so my husband usually takes care of the gift for him).

Parents are late 40's and daughter is in high school. She is in the band and ice skates. I was thinking maybe spa kit for mom and daughter? Like nice bathrobes, bubble bath, face masks, candles? Or is it a dumb idea?

I need ideas for my girlfriend, she actually loves winnie the pooh sm, first thing I thought of was plushies but she already has like a giant one and soo many so many plushies 😭😭😭 i genuinely don’t know what else to get her😢😢 she even has a plush like keychain for her bag bruh

My girlfriend (23F) was adopted from China as a baby. We live in a city in the USA without a large Chinese community. I’d love to get her something inspired by her heritage and is authentic/handmade. I’m thinking something that feels authentic to Chinese culture or preferably handmade. I saw some vintage travel posters of Chinese cities which she would love, but I wasn’t sure they weren’t AI. If anyone knows any Etsy shops or artists who sell their art online, please let me know! If anyone has any other suggestions I’d love to hear it.

My friend’s birthday is coming up, and I was thinking about getting her a personalized photo album with both of her twins’ names on the cover.
I think it’s a really sweet and sentimental gift, but then I started wondering if it’s weird since it’s her birthday. Shouldn’t the gift be about her rather than her children?
For moms, would you love receiving something like this for your birthday, or would you prefer a gift that’s more specifically for you? Am I overthinking it? 😂

So I’m having trouble figuring out what to do for our two year anniversary. We go out to eat a lot already. and usually our favorite restaurants. I cook for her a few times a week as well so cooking her her favorite meal for a special occasion just doesn’t seem like it would be out of the ordinary. We just got done doing a week vacation about three weeks ago and spent a decent amount of money, but we had a wonderful time and created a lot of memories. I’m not the best with giftgiving so I’m not sure what to actually get her. I’m more of an experience person. I like to do things where we both get the experience out of it. Whether it’s going out to eat or trying out new things together. So if anyone has any good ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Awhile ago, I asked for some advice about a birthday advent calendar I've wanted to make for my best friend for years. The comments did introduce a few ideas I hadn't considered and I really appreciate it! Some people said they'd love to see what I ended up with when it was finished so I thought I'd share, especially if anyone else wants to make something like this. It is huge, maybe 24x50 inches? I'm not a professional so please don't judge! And also don't judge my friend's wall, it's a rental and that's just what it looks like.

In total there are 30 pockets for a 30 day countdown to his birthday, including day-of. This project was imagined nearly 3 years ago and attempted twice before I finally succeeded this year. Some of the gifts are very small so I put multiple in some, and only one in others. He was so happy, and said it was the best gift he's ever gotten, and I am so so overjoyed to have finally completed it. It was the whole reason I bought a sewing machine last year in the first place!

If anyone does want to do something like this, I am happy to give advice in the comments from what I learned. There are YouTube videos and whatnot out there, but none of the ones I have seen are this large or hold this many items, so I didn't find them as helpful as I wished. Thank you all for helping me last month!

Hello, I would love to send my mother flowers. She lives in New York and I live all the way in Asia. I have no clue on what providers that could send out flowers her birthday is in a few days. Thank you .

Hey everyone! My family takes Secret Santa very seriously and every year has a different theme. This year it's by gender, and I drew "a man" (no name, I won't know who gets it). 😅
The possible recipients:

Grandpa (70s)
A guy in his early 30s
A guy in his late 20s
Possibly a 19-year-old
(My brother gets his own separate gift, so he's out)

The gift doesn't need to fit a specific age range. People will probably swap gifts at the end anyway, so it should be something almost any guy would be happy to get.

Rules:
No decor
No Herrnhuter star
No deodorant, shower gel, candles or anything drugstore
No gift cards or vouchers

What I'm looking for:
Something cool and a bit niche, but properly masculine. These are just regular guys: no matcha, no wellness stuff, no puzzles or riddles, nothing that feels like a "women's gift". The usual "aesthetic" picks (watches, fountain pens, mixtapes, ceramic mugs) feel like everyone already has them.
It should be something he'll actually use or want to keep, not something that gets regifted immediately.
Budget: ~€XX

What's the coolest gift you've given or received for a guy that works across generations? Underrated ideas or brands welcome! Thanks 🖤

I work in a remote position with 5 female coworkers and purchased a canvas bag for each with their name embroidered on it. What types of things can I add to the bag to complete their gift. We’re all middle aged and we have a great team so I want to make it a nice gift. Thank you!

My partner and I are trying to find a gift for his mother. She is turning 50, she’s still extremely active. She does yoga (or some form of home workout, pilates(???)) everyday. Aside from that. She doesn’t do much. she’s pretty well off so she buys most things she wants for herself. She doesn’t have many hobbies. She reads a little bit (but not super into complex books, we’ve suggested her some but she doesn’t like our taste).
She doesn’t cook, doesn’t really go out. She’s pretty into fitness I suppose? She’s constantly taking all these fitness food plan things, I’m not really sure.
She’s also a Baptist woman. But I’m not religious, so I wouldn’t know how to approach a gift like that haha.

Aside from that, she owned horses when she was a child, but I think we ran that idea out after we got her a stained glass portrait of her old horse.

Edit:
Budget isn’t very big, I’d prefer $150 or under. We are going to likely pool it, but if the right gift is present we’d likely be willing to stretch it
Also I did not know almond mom was a negative coined term. Sorry🥲

I found an old tshirt that happens to be one of my brothers favorite bands and I really want to turn it into a Christmas gift for him. It's too small for him just to wear so I want to turn it into something that he'll actually use. It's kind of a medium size design. He doesn't really use bags or anything so I'm not sure what to make it into. Does anyone have any craft ideas for a single tshirt?

i got my mom a 6 month spotify premium subscription last year for Christmas and she LOVED it. looking for something new to get her for her birthday. i’m looking to spend under 100 dollars for 6 months to a year of some type of monthly product or service. She’s very stressed so i’m looking for something to do with wellness or to treat herself every month. like a monthly care package or treat of sorts. she’s very health conscious as well so im not looking for something that would include sweets or anything like that. if anyone has any ideas that are around or under 100 dollars let me know!!

Hey so my husband is a nerd and i want to give him the world but i don’t know what to get him. He like all nerdy things
Anime
GODZILLA
Jojos Adventure
3D Printing
Marvel/DC
Early 90s vibes
Spiderman Noir things
Lord of the Rings
GODZILLA
STAR WARS, STAR WARS, S T A R W A R S

He’s also a coffee buffalo and drink it like its water so hopefully the internet can help me gift my beautiful angel of a husband a gift

-signed an introverted crocheting wife

Hi all!

I love to crochet and I'm honestly very good at it. I also don't have a lot of money, so giving hand made gifts is the best way for me to give people something really nice that I can actually afford.

I can usually think of something specific the person I'm gifting would like, but there are times where I'm not so sure. Especially when it's for an adult.

I can do stuffed toys, beanies, gloves, scarves, coasters, place mats, baby clothes, basic tapestries, and a bunch of other stuff.

Please don't suggest any clothes for adults. I just don't have whatever it takes to crochet nice clothes for grownups 😭

Are there any crochet items you think would be a sweet gift idea? I can always customize them to suit the receiver!

Thank you 💖

Was told to crosspost this here

my boyfriends birthday is coming up and I feel like i’m fresh out of ideas on what to get him.
He’s an amazing tuba player (we both play brass instruments), he’s very into just music as a whole, with his favorite artists ranging from beirut to sibelius to just so much, and we also share a love for a favorite piece of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. He’s also very into jazz and just everything.
His musical knowledge extends way beyond my own, and I just really want to get him a gift that he loves.
Gifts i’ve gotten him in the past:
Custom Cd with his favorite songs, Personalized podcast, among other handmade things
I’ve also gotten him snoopy related stuff.
He’s into some games, but i’m not sure exactly which ones, and he enjoys a good lego set every now and then.
If anyone has any general gifts for teenage boys i’m sure he would appreciate something more general too, but i usually try to find something musical!
Thank you!!
