hello! i’m wanting to start christmas gift shopping for my boyfriend(24) but i’m at a bit of a loss for what to get for him. he for sure does not want any clothing, underwear, shoes or just things you wear in general. when i do ask what he wants he either ends up buying it himself or tells me he doesn’t know/want anything. what are some items that have been big hits for you?

For Christmas this year I was wanting to get my girlfriend a pair of diamond earrings, we are currently trying to save for a house so I’m on a bit of a budget, my mom has offered my an old pair of princess cut diamond earrings that she doesn’t wear anymore at a very generous discount.

My concern is how my girlfriend will feel about getting earrings that I bought off my mom… The two of them have a great relationship so I’m not worried about that it’s just the fact that I’m giving her something that I bought off my mom.

How would you feel if you were in this scenario? Any advice?

Hi! Just finished these limited edition ornaments & working on some other designs!

Would love ideas that don’t require artistic talent lol. Cooking counts!

I work for a high end custom home builder. We want to give our clients holidays gifts in the $200-$250 range. Nothing branded. My boss typically gives fruit boxes from Harry & David, but we’d like to try something new. No alcohol, no sweets, and no olive oils. Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Looking for a silver bracelet or ring that is made from carnelian or tiger's eye that looks good on a man. Let me know which brand you would recommend.

Good morning,

I’ve been in charge of the christmas party at work, for a few years now. We are a small company with around 30 employees, from 15 to 60yo, we work for 3 small funny convenience store with imported products, TCG etc. Last year I had made a few branded items like playmats, water bottles and stuff like that. Everyone pretty much had the same gift, with add-ons for the managers etc.

This year we want to do a big table with wrapped gifts. We would have a lot of mini-games and each employee would blind pick a gift on the table once they win.

We plan on buying each gift twice so we only have 15 ideas to find. They will be able to swap if they want to.

We have around CAD$90 budget per gift, and plan on buying most of it on the Black Friday, so any idea that is a bit above the budget can be considered to.

Here’s what we have so far :
- JBL speaker (the JBL GO or something similar)
- Instax Mini
- Sol de Janeiro box
- Lululemon gift card
- Friend photoshoot with a local photographer
- GTA VI???? I believe our younger employees would love it maybe not idk
- Kindle (if there’s a breathtaking deal)
- Sony headphones
- NHL tickets in Montreal (I have to make HUGE DEALS on the other gifts to take this one)

Here I am so far. No more inspiration in me, I believe clothes aren’t a great idea…

If you have any suggestion I’d be grateful.

Ps : we are in small towns in Québec and almost 2 hours away from the nearest « city », so experiences are complicated to find… english’s not my main language so I apologize.

Thank you❤️

She works nights and told me she hasn't taken a bath in two years because the tub has nowhere to put anything. So I skipped the pretty stuff and got her a bamboo tray plus a lavender soak.

Three weeks in she's reordered the soak. The tray is what changed things, I think, because a book and a mug finally have somewhere to sit. Lesson for me: a gift that removes one small annoyance beats a fancy one.

Still debating whether to get her the matching pillow for Christmas or if that's too much. Anyone else buy the logistics gift instead of the pretty one?

We’re celebrating our son’s first birthday this Sunday, and we’re also making it official that our two closest friends, a married couple, will be his non-religious godparents.

We want them to be people he can always turn to, and we’ve even legally documented our wish for them to become his guardians if anything were to happen to both of us.

We’d love to give them something meaningful to thank them for taking on such an important role in his life.

Has anyone done something similar? What did you gift your godparents, or what would you have appreciated receiving? We’re looking for something thoughtful and lasting, rather than a generic gift.

Help me with some gifts

My CEO has asked me to share some gifts idea we can send our clients from New York as they are having a housewarming party. Please suggest me some gift ideas that are available in New York. For context : We need to send gifts to two separate clients, both are male and hosting a housewarming party, both in New York, our total budget is 1000$.

My husband and I are trying to buy a family gift that they will all like. They don't live near us. Want to spend around $200-300. All ages, so no games, no alcohol, no restaurant gift cards.

Last year we spent the money sending them assorted snacks from Nuts.com and they loved it. We can't think of any other decent food gifts for this year. Open to other ideas and will be shared by about 12 people. Thanks

(wlw) okay so I'm buying us tickets to a happysad concert we've been meaning to go to but she doesn't have the money (it's not that expensive we're just highschoolers so yk), I'm getting a tin after thinmints and I'm glueing buttons on it to make it cute and shit and I'm putting guitar picks inside cause she always loses hers. I also painted a capo with nailpolish all cute (i did it before but it wore down, so perfect time for another!), I'm thinking of either buying her a cd (can't afford a vinyl but it'll do) or making her a playlist and putting it on a cd (I'm leaning more towards this I think it's sweeter, and I oculd make a cute cover and all). I've also been trying to make her a felt stuffed animal but one already went to my dog as it was ugly, but I have a month so I think I'll manage. Do you guys think this is enough? I'm also writing her a letter obvi with something cute and i've been going to thrift stores looking for a hat she's been wanting for a while (think it's called a newsboy??)

I a (15F) am giving this to a dear friend (F15.)

Is this good or should I add something more? And what should I add?

I’m looking for a hands-on evening project to do as a couple instead of putting on another Netflix show. A lot of miniature room kits look charming, but when I check the steps, many seem designed for one pair of hands under one desk lamp. Is there a collaborative DIY kit style where the tasks can genuinely be split up, or does one person usually end up watching while the other glues tiny pieces?

My brother gave me a miniature house kit gift set for my birthday last week, and I honestly almost rolled my eyes when I opened it. Usually, these DIY gifts are made from thin balsa wood that snaps right away and come with terrible glue that leaves your fingers stuck together at midnight.

But I sat down and started building this little greenhouse last night, and the wooden pieces are surprisingly sturdy and snap together cleanly. I’m actually having a lot of fun slowing down with it after work.

Now that I’m hooked, I’m looking for more quality miniature house kit gift set ideas for my cousin, who also likes hands-on stuff. For people who build these often, what should I watch for so the next one doesn’t turn into a frustrating nightmare?

So full context:

It is my birthday week and where i work the birthday person usually gives a little something to everyone, it's usually a food item like a puff, samosa, something like that if not that then atleast a chocolate, now since it is my birthday week I was planning to get something really nice homemade for my colleagues but the thing is my mom got a fracture and I wouldn't have enough time to cook something for them so that plan went out of the window. I genuinely don't wish to just get a random samosa or puff from somewhere and give it to them its too common and cliché so I figured i would give them a small little budget friendly gift. Now for the women I figured i would give them jhumkas because they were all complaining about how they don't have decent oxidised jhumkas to wear so that stuck with me and I figured I'll do that for them. But now I'm a little confused as to what I could give to the male colleagues.... My budget is roughly 100 rs and there's like 3 to 5 of them, the age group is mid to late 20s.... I could really do with some help on this one 🥺🥺

Hi hi! My anniversary is coming up soon and I would love to hear if anyone has any cute gift ideas! We are both big gamers and my gf loves tech and music production too. We also both love animation like adventure time and steven universe. She also loves Digimon and Sailor Moon.

Some past gifts I’ve given were:

-I redrew a pic of Marceline and PB to be us
-We made one of those couple blankets where u get 2 different fabrics and tie them together
-a nice magical girl themed necklace
-“The Answer” it was a children’s book about how Ruby and Sapphire met
-an “I Spy” style book that was customized to look like us

Hi all, I buy Christmas gifts for my team out of pocket every year — about 40 people, and ~$10/person is what's realistic for me. Last year I went cheaper and people seemed to appreciate them, but I wished I'd spent a little more for better quality.

This year I'm looking at a gift set: a 40 oz tumbler with straw + a zippered tote bag, with a "Thanks for Making a Difference" design on them. I plan to add some location specific text to make them a little more special. I ordered a sample first to check the quality before I commit to 40.

Honest opinions please — would you actually like getting this, or does it read as generic company swag? And if I do go with it, what's the best way to personalize 40 of them so people's cups don't get mixed up at work? I've thought about a Cricut, but 40 names is a lot of cutting/weeding. Thanks!

I was on facebook marketplace looking to buy a world map for my room. Saw this listing and decided to message the seller. She told me she’d leave it at the door and to just leave the money under the mat. I responded with a thank you message and she apologized for not being able to meet in person because they had just lost a family member last night and are busy.

I replied basically saying that I could always come another time if today isn’t appropriate and wished her my condolences and she said it was okay and already left the map on the door for me to pick up.

I don’t know if it’s considered weird but I just feel really sympathetic and I thought maybe I could leave a little something on the door as a sort of gift or something for their grieving? What do you guys suggest? Or is it too invasive for a stranger to do?

Should I leave flowers? Gift card? Food basket?

Would appreciate some advice today because I’ll be leaving in a few hours

Update: thanks for the comments. Everyone had different answers which allowed me to gain insight from multiple perspectives. Ultimately, I felt the most appropriate thing to do was leave a card with a little message inside. Something simple and easily disposable incase she isn’t open to receiving anything. Decided not to go with any gifts since I don’t know her very well and didn’t know what would be useful for her. But thanks for the suggestions :)
