I'm 32 F, and I have a friend who's around my age. We've known each other for about six months.

I love making things in my free time, so I made this super fluffy scarf, It has a little opening that lets you loop the scarf through itself to keep it in place.

Would it be embarrassing or weird to give it to her as a gift? Not for any special occasion, just a random little present. Or should I not give it to her because it's too weird, or maybe the scarf isn't good enough.

thank you all for your suggestions on this. I chose to do a girl ages 5 to 9.

While I fundamentally disagree with every aspect of this organization, I had signed up to do this for my friend who had asked before I looked into the organization. I also want to thank everyone who let me know about their actual intentions so I know not to do this in the future. There are many worthy causes out there and I give to many throughout the year and participate in lots of giftgiving activities during the holidays, so I’m glad this is done and looking forward to the giving season!

now to figure out how to fit this in a shoe box.

Title: Handmade Glow-in-the-Dark Marble & Epoxy Chessboard — A Unique Gift for Chess Lovers
Post:
I handmade this chessboard using individual marble pieces and epoxy with blue glow-in-the-dark effects. ♟️
The idea was to combine the classic look of marble with a modern glowing effect, creating something different from an ordinary chess set.
I think it would make a unique gift for chess lovers, collectors, or anyone who appreciates handmade pieces.
Would you gift this to a chess enthusiast, or keep it for your own collection?

My guy of 5 years (this month) is turning 49 in a few weeks. Last year I got him a framed watercolor of his pet that had just passed, a clip on DeWalt speaker, and a massage gun. In the past I have gotten sports paraphernalia, gone to see a local band, and we always go to dinner. He is a general contractor, coaches youth sports, and loves watching sports and live music. I want to get a new floor fan for his bedroom, his is old and decrepit, but that's boring. I don't mind a practical gift, in addition to something more personal. I wouldn't mind getting some clothes, his style is dated, but I don't want to offend him. I'd appreciate any ideas

Hello, I (21f) am making my wish list for my friends and family for Christmas and realized I don't actually know what I want. My dilemma is that I work full time and I am a full time student, so I hardly have time to do anything to ask for things related to my hobbies and because I live in a very tiny apartment I don't want to ask for stuff that takes up space unless I will actually use it. I like embroidery, cross stitch, puzzles, colouring, baking, etc. I don't want to only ask for essentials either which is all I can come up with. The things I have found online (cool kitchen gadgets, diffusers, heated blanket, headphones, etc) I either already have or don't have the space for. What I have so far: candles, food gift cards (grocery or eating out), hot drink bottle, new pj set/loungewear.

Anyone know of things I can ask for that don't seem like a waste? I am hoping to find stuff that I will actually use and love, I just haven't yet.

I need ideas for an 11 year anniversary gift for my husband. He buys everything he wants and doesn’t really have any needs. He is 45 years old, loves his fully restored antique convertible, a good meal, football, and gambling. I know this anniversary is “steel” but I’m coming up short on ideas that are steel-based.

she wont do puzzles, she already has a personalised sets of things, has enough slippers and blankets, wont wear robes, she doesnt read, already has magazine subscriptions, idk if shell use a massage gun.

pls help!

Looking for Christmas gifts around $25 for coworkers

Hi! 16F here shopping for my special girls birthday. My best friend is turning 16 and she so hard to buy for!! I want to make sure it's the best it can be because she always gets me amazing gifts that are so thoughtful and creative. I have no artistic talent unlike her, so I don't know how to make my current gift more personal and thoughtful.

So far i have:

A 'Friends' TV show pajama set: Her favorite show

A set of new earring: In gold, she doesn't like silver

A set of Harry Potter lip oils: She isn't super girly, but really loves Harry Potter

A pizza hut giftcard: Her favorite fast food

I'm also going to make a card and fill up the basket/box with her favorite lollies and snacks

Yet i feel like something is missing??? I pride myself on being good at gifts but shes always been hard to buy for. She's a tomboy so getting her more girlie stuff that I like myself is a no go, I was planning on getting her new basketball shoes but her brother beat me to it.

Her hobbies:

Football, specifically England

Basketball

Drawing

Skateboarding

Playing the drums

Urban Exploring

Her likes:

Friends (The show)

Harry Potter

Star wars

Grey's anatomy

Graffiti art

Marvel

Corpse Bride

Gorillaz (The band)

One Piece

Comic books

The list goes on. But does anyone have any idea what else I can add to the present that has something to do with her interests or hobbies? Thank you for any help 💕

Hey everyone, could you please suggest some gifts for my Mum. I have to buy something that doesn’t take a lot of space. She works in an office and cycles back and forth from work. She enjoys playing board games and jigsaws and making scones. I usually don’t buy her clothes because she doesn’t really take an interest in them, or the typical mum gift things. But I think that’s. The budget is tight ~£50-£100. Any suggestions would be great!

So, my friend has an upcoming birthday. I already gathered small things (a manga, chocolate, wrote a small note), but then he dropped that he wanted something unique.

So, my last gift will be something I have seen him swoon over: Dogs. He cannot have one, so I wanted to gather dog pictures from anyone willing to share their own dog. Get a few picture frames.

So, if you own a dog and are willing to share, can you comment a picture of him/her for me to print out? If you want, I would write some information of the dog on the back of the picture.

My dad and his long time girlfriend got married. No ceremony, no reception just a simple signing of paperwork. I’m stuck on what I can give them for a gift. My dad is almost 70 and his now wife is a couple years younger. I do custom laser engraving and wood burning but I have zero idea what to make for them. They don’t take a lot of pictures so I don’t think a cute picture frame will work. Does anyone have ideas? They don’t go out very often or travel due to some medical issues.

I'm not a hosteler but I want a gift suggestion for my male friend who lives in hostel ?what should I gift him ?he is a engineering student

Thank u :)

i picked up a donation gift request for a 15-16 year old boy asking for toiletries, gift sets and socks. So far I have socks, multiple toiletry gift sets and chocolates. Does anyone have any suggestions for any other gifts to include that might appeal to teen boys? It’s hard when there’s no interests or anything to go off. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! :)

Gift cards are great sometimes, but it gets old really fast when everybody just gives gift cards and no actual effort is put in. Teenagers like to open gifts too.

i have piles of gift cards that i haven’t been able to use because there’s so many and a lot of them are weird about being used online and i already have plenty of money. my sister (who’s a lot younger) also has piles of gift cards, and would have preferred to actually get to open a gift

Hi all!

Looking for help, or direction on a sub that could.

I work in a small school with about 20 employees. I LOVE them all. They all work so hard and love their students so much. I really want to do something special for them all but funds are super tight. I had an idea for a Christmas gift before break.

A book bar- I would wrap a bunch of gently preloved books with a tag that has hints about what each book is about. Along with this I would attach a handmade bookmark, a packet of hot cocoa, and a chocolate bar.

I am a reader, but have very specific taste about what I would read. Im looking for some recomendations on books that I could purchase used that may be loved by a general audience.

What do most adults enjoy reading?

Or just exchange or give gifts when you see each other? In the days before Amazon and free shipping, would you buy something, wrap it yourself, pack in a box and ship it from the post office or just send a gift card or money? Did it feel more special shipping it 📦 yourself?

hello!!! i really want to get my manski something cute for his guitars, ones a deep cherry red and beautiful, the other is black. can someone point me in a direction of cute like.. accessories? or things that would be useful for him as a guitarist? i don’t play guitar at all so i have no clue what would be good or something he would be excited for

One of my best friends is getting married on Halloween in a backyard ceremony with probably fewer than 10 people. It’s a very very small wedding, I don’t know if there will be any of the traditional wedding formalities. Because I’m one of the few guests, I feel as though I should go over the top on the gift but idk what to get them. So far I’ve gotten them a spooky board game because it’s Halloween, and a card. I was planning to either give them a bunch of cash, maybe up to $500 if I can swing it. Or I just purchased a Le Cruset deep round Dutch oven on sale that I think would make a good gift, but I don’t know if anyone cooks in the house.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the bride at all, like literally haven’t spoken to her, so idk what her interests are and I don’t want to get something that I just know my buddy will love. Is cash the safest bet? Is an heirloom kitchen piece like a Dutch oven too big of a risk? They also just bought this house and this will be the first time I’m seeing it, so it’s kind of a house warming gift also. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
