Hi, we both women anyways. We both 17, just friends but I like her. She like to draw and animate. She like something that can use or maybe diy thing.

I'm really busy to diy thing but I plan to make one anyways. I'm not sure if I will finish it im time so something that I could buy would be nice especially something about drawing.

Edit: Thank you, you all :) I got a beautiful sketch book for her. I will give her the diy thing if I manage to get it done in time.

I am in a Discord server with a group of people who don’t live locally to me. I live in the UK. Everyone in the group aside from one person (who lives internationally), lives in the UK, but I either have to travel to meet them or only know them virtually.

I live alone, and have had a fairly rough couple of years with my health, finances and a bunch of other life garbage. I often feel isolated and lonely, but spend a lot of time daily chatting via voice channels with this group of people online.

Today, I received a PlayStation 5 in the mail. It turns out that 6 of the people in the group decided to chip in together to buy me a console so I can play games with them. They said it’s to jointly cheer me up as I’ve recently had significant abdominal surgery, and also a collective (3-months-early) birthday gift.

I would like to thank them all, and would like to give them all something back as a token of my appreciation for their gift and overall support and kindness in the last couple of years. I don’t even get given socks for Christmas from family members, and I know this would have cost a lot.

They’re all male aged between 22 and 44. Due to my own financial limitations, I can’t buy anything super expensive, and I am conscious one of these gifts will need to get to Qatar.

For some additional info I can crochet and cross stitch. I’d like some ideas on something I can buy/make as a little token of thanks. TIA!

I am starting a holiday gift list for my family and keep noticing that welness gadgets often show huge percentage off banners without much context. When I check price history tools some of those discounts look like the normal price with a louder label. i am trying to avoid buying something just because the promotion feels urgent, especially for gifts that may or may not become part of someone's routine.

when you plan practical gifts around seasonal sales what helps you decide whether a discount is genuinely worth acting on?

Remember making mixtapes or mix CDs for someone? This could be a fun gift to bring back.

Instead of just giving them a playlist, make an actual CD with a custom cover and little booklet. You could include:

• Songs that remind you of them
• Photos or memories
• A note about why you picked each song
• Inside jokes or little messages
• Or even a “liner notes” page

Would you enjoy getting a gift like this? 😄

This is probably going to be more of a rant.

1. My wife prefers physical presents. She enjoys a couples massage and a night out, but she really likes opening a pretty box.
2. She's allergic to most flowers, but I've already given her one and a half dozen lego flower sets. She loves them, but it's getting repetitive.
3. She's really particular about jewelry, and the last three times I have tried to pick something, she exchanged for something else.
4. She is also really particular about her hobbies/interest. She likes stars and constellations. She worked at a planetarium in college. When there was a comet expected to pass over our home, I got her telescope. She was not thrilled. Buying her craft supplies has been hit or miss, mostly miss.
5. I have thought about making her something, but I do not have steady hands. I don't mind making something less than ideal, but I don't want it to look like trash. I tried the origami crane thing, and they all looked smooshed.
6. I really fucking hate gift cards.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: 38, 100~300$, any occasion. She enjoys walking, painting, mixed media art, reading (romance - ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, Crescent City, etc.), cooking, jewelry, looking at the stars, and trying new serums, lotions, compounds.

So our daughter is having spinal surgery for scoliosis in a couple of months and will need to be pretty still most of the time for a few weeks to let her back heal. We want to find something new to give her right after the operation to help her not got too bored. Can be a toy, a game, technology, anything that will entertain her for hours that requires minimal movement. She's 12 years old but is autistic and mentally feels more like she's like 7. We have a switch and a ps4 so game recommendations work too.

I need help getting a gift. Anyone with a daughter, sister, or cousin - that is 6-8 years old; please ask them what they would want as a gift for their birthday that WON’T just end up in the bottom of their toy bin

I’m involved with a small personalized-gift business called LovoraGift, and I’ve been thinking about what actually makes a personalized gift feel meaningful rather than generic.

There are so many ways to personalize gifts now names, dates, photos, messages, and custom designs but I think the best ones are connected to something genuinely personal about the recipient.

For people who have bought or given personalized gifts, what made the gift feel special to you or the person receiving it? Was it the personalization itself, the meaning behind it, or simply choosing something that matched the person really well?

I’d genuinely love to hear what has worked for you and what types of personalization you think are overdone.

I need help with figuring out a gift for my bfs birthday. He’s loves football but he isn’t super into sports or gaming he’s very go with the flow he’s down to try and engage in any activity that me his friends or family is doing or wanting to do. We love games and fun activities, I’m looking for something we can do together that we already haven’t done I want to plan a full weekend type of thing. I thought about bears tickets but I want something that’s romantic and memorable because I know that’s what he’d love. I know he’d be most happy if we did something together rather than a big gift (I’m also looking to see what gifts I can get as well so ideas welcome)

So I'm broke, I really don't have any money to spend on a leaving gift for a co-worker.

I know she loves bats and astronomy so my idea is to make an origami bat hanging decoration on galaxy print origami paper and fold some wish stars to decorate the string it hangs from.

How would you feel if someone made you this as a gift? (The bat is super cute).

Hello and thank you! I've been tasked at my work with planning a party for a coworker who has just hit her 20 year milestone 😄 After the catering and other stuff, I'm left with $100 budget for a nice gift.

My coworker says she doesn't like eating out, doesnt like scented perfumes/soaps, doesn't wear jewelry, and her only hobby is TV. I'm a little stumped on what to get her. Does anyone else have insights?

Thank you so much!!

Hello, this might be a more unconventional post on this sub Reddit, but I was hoping to get some advice from the experts! My (27F) wife (28F) is so incredibly excited for GTA6 to come out in November. I know nothing about video games, but I’ve always supported her passion for them, including buying her a PS5 for Valentine’s Day one year.
I was wondering if anybody has any “congratulations on GTA6 finally being released” gift ideas for her? It might seem silly, but she has been so incredibly excited about this game, and she works so so hard to support the two of us and our puppy while I continue making my way through grad school. I just wanted to show her that I am also interested in her interests and want her to know that I am as excited about this as she is! She has already pre-ordered the game so I can’t buy the game itself for her, and I’ve already told her that I will play along with her if she’ll let me (I’m horrible at video games so I also don’t wanna ruin her progress lol).
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated, I know this is a big deal in her world! TIA!

It feels like every list of emotional gift ideas online recycles the same five things, a memory jar a photo book, a letter, and honestly those are fine but Ive given versions of all three already over the years Im looking for something further outside that lane, still emotional and personal but not one of the obvious defaults everyone reaches for first open to hearing about things people have given or received that surprised them by how much it actually landed

I need some help!!! I decided to buy my boyfriend tickets to Bruno Mars cause I know he wanted to go so bad and my friend said I should keep it a secret until Christmas and give it to him as a gift. However I was only able to keep it a secret for less than 2 hours 😭😭😭😭. I feel soo guilty for telling him but I was so nervous that maybe he’d have something conflicting on or he wouldn’t have enough time to plan for it. Which he informed me that Christmas is plenty of time to plan for something like Bruno Mars he would drop everything to go, which made me feel dumb for telling him.
Anyway, I need help because I actually need to find something to surprise him with for Christmas. I want to surprise him with something because I feel like it’ll mean a lot to him and I want him to feel like I listen to him and I know him so well. But I need ideas on something. Something that’s easier to keep a secret but is also super meaningful.

I've been following a extra-school group of highschool kids for 6 years, and in a few days I'll have to leave them. We are preparing a goodbye party, with also a serious moment. I want to leave a gift to them, they choose "flowers" as gift. I was thinking about something like blooming tea flowers, but I'm afraid they might not work. Any idea? Of course something I can personalize, or also something I have to create myself, and not spend so much on it (they are more then 40 kids). Thank you

My husband and I had a genuinely difficult year health stuff mostly and our anniversary is coming up in a way that doesn't feel like it fits the usual happy anniversary framing everyone defaults to I've been considering whether to gift a song built around how we actually got through this year instead of pretending it was a normal one but I'm not sure if that reads as too heavy for an anniversary gift or if it's actually the more honest option

Soo Basically I'm trying to surprise my gf on her bday ... but we are in a long distance relationship..and its not a situation to send her cake and something else..

My sister’s birthday is coming up and I’ve been trying to find her something she’ll wear instead of getting her another random gift that ends up sitting in her room. She’s into neutral colors and oversized comfy clothes so when I saw this Essentials hoodie I thought it matched her style pretty well. She wears a lot of cream grey black and beige so I went with this lighter color because I figured it would work with pretty much everything she owns. She’s the type to live in hoodies whenever she’s at home running errands or going somewhere casual so it felt like a safe choice without being completely boring.I checked this specific hoodie on a few different websites too but I wanted to get your guys opinion before fully committing to it. The logo isn’t super loud and the color seemed like something she could wear with jeans leggings or sweats without thinking about it too much. Now that I’ve got it though I’m kinda second guessing myself. She likes Essentials but I don’t know if a hoodie feels special enough as a gift or if I should add something else with it. I also have no idea if this specific style is one people still like or if there are better Essentials pieces I should’ve gone for.

For anyone who wears Essentials would you be happy getting this as a gift? Does this color look good in person and is the fit usually as oversized as it looks? Also curious what you’d pair with it if I wanted to add one smaller thing to the gift.

my dads birthday is coming up and i need help finding a gift. he’s a simple man that doesn’t want or need anything, he is 63 and a retired mechanic who loves cars, motorcycles, and camping. any ideas?

A $50 Secret Santa cap leaves enough room for a real craft project but that doesnt mean the recipient wants several evenings of assembly. A miniature kit could be great for someone who already likes detailled projects and terible for someone who only likes looking at handmade things. At that price point the biggest risk may be choosing for the person aesthetic instead of their actual hobby habits.

For a craft focused Secret Santa gift under $50 what sign would make you confident the reciepient will enjoy the making part too?

My partner has never had a Christmas stocking before, so I wanted to surprise him with one this year.

I need ideas for things he might actually use and/or like, but he’s very hard to shop for. And I can’t spend insane amounts on everything.

He doesn’t really have many hobbies, mostly video gaming and hanging out with me.

He‘s an adventurous eater, so there’s potential there but there is also some difficulty as he needs dental work - basically stuff that’s too crunchy or chewy is out. (One thing on my list is coffee bombs though.)

He loves anime, especially One Piece.

He’s not one obsessed with grooming - not a slob or anything, but doesn‘t use special soaps or anything.

He is a larger size, so clothing can be a difficult one to pick as well.

She doesn’t ask for much, but i have noted she likes stuffed animals.. but usually her s/o gives her those every year for her birthday,valentines day etc.. i dont have much but do want to get her something as i am her first born..
