He is SO hard to buy for.  I always buy him token clothes, which he needs, but would like to buy him something really special this year.  He doesn't wear jewelry or cologne.  He recently started wearing a watch, but he dug out his old one, so don't need that.  Any suggestions?  Thanks! 

Soccer season is over in a month (U8) and I'm team mom so wanted to come up with a coach's gift.  I know there are the standard team plaques, etc but I'd really like to get him something different.  He's an awesome coach.  The other parents haven't really come up with any ideas but are willing to split the cost of something within reason.

Any ideas??

Since you all have great volunteering ideas, I thought I'd pick your brains about what to give high tech men who have everything for Christmas.

My nephew is graduating from the Police Acad. in a couple of weeks.  Does anyone have any ideas what would be a good gift?  I hate giving money. I did look on line and got some ideas but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has had experience with this.  TIA

I know it's not much to spend, but I didn't make the rules about this gift exchange.  Need something that would work for boys and girls.  I was hoping to be a little more creative than Mickey D's certificates.  Thanks for the ideas.  It's greatly appreciated.  :>)

Hi.  I need ideas for kids to make gifts (minimal painting, minimal glueing) as they have to be ready to wrap.  What was your favorite keepsate gift from your child so far?

TIA

really hasn't given me any ideas.  She does not want a class ring now (she is a sophomore this year).  She does not like her birthstone but does like pearls and emeralds but has not really given me a straight answer as to whether she would prefer a ring, earrings or a necklace.  She plays a lot of sports so I am not sure she will be able to keep track of nice jewelry either and I really don't want to spend good $$ if she might lose it.  I only have a week left and wanted to get her something special because it is her 16th but just can't come up with anything nor can I get her to give me a good idea.  Thanks. 

You are known by the company you keep.

Do you want a whipping?  ( oh, of course I do!)

Dont you just love this. Just saw an article on stay at home mothers and how much they should be paid for their work week, think they said $183,000 plus- get this- they were saying how much time they put in each week for their work, how hard it was and the interviewing showing scads of mothers with their children at the play grounds, swinging, running around, just seemed to be having a good ole time to me. Ah, just to be a stay at home mother, nothing like that hard work!

What a wonderful, thoughtful gift. It will mean so much to them.

How do you react when somebody gives you a gift that is not to your taste? It could be something for the home that doesn't fit in, a perfume that smells like dead roses, or a food item that came out of their kitchen that you know you would never eat because you know how they don't clean the kitchen. I try to be gracious and thank them for thinking of me, but sometimes it's really hard to say "Ewww...what were you thinking?". I have one friend in particular that never, ever fails to give me something that I will either donate to Goodwill or re-gift to one of the relatives that I know would just love it.

mine was the digital camera to DIL. She is very reserved, but actually started crying, and jumped up and gave me a HUGE, LONG, hard hug! I was shocked!! She had mentioned wanting one last year, but didn't tell us until a week before Christmas, and we already had our shopping done by then. She said we even bought the one she had picked out, and was planning on getting after the holidays, hoping it would be on sale. It is the Kodak one with the printer. I told son later, she took the award for the BEST reaction EVER to a gift!!! He laughed and agreed.

I'd have to say the most DISAPPOINTING reaction was one I expected. It was from SIL. The one I talked about on here, never gives me any feedback, is so exasperating. I had given her a Creative Memories Carry Case, filled with scrapbook making supplies to get started, and three scrapbooks to start with, one with refills. One was a gorgeous victorian one, one was plain navy blue, and the third was a purse sized one, I was thinking to put grandkid pics in. She opened it, and said nothing. I said I hope you like it, I know how creative you are, and how much you love to do crafts, etc., I thought you would create some AWESOME memories for the kids with these! She just said yeah, thanks. *sigh* BIL said he thought it was a great idea. I don't know. It was a letdown to me though, I was REALLY hoping she'd LOVE it!!

I used to get a free massage once a month when I worked at my chiropractor's office.  Now it's like twice a year, if that and I really miss it.

I always leave my underwear on under the sheet and like everyone else said, the therapist should keep everything covered except the part being worked on.  The parafin treatment is nice also, especially for tired hands and feet. 

ENJOY YOURSELF!!!
