birthday gift ideas adults image
Helena
She's a really nice girl, but I haven't talked to her in a while considering we both lead busy lives. I want to get something really special for her because she's been in and out of the hospital for something they can't diagnose so do you guys have any ideas?
I don't think she'll be driving just an FYI.
I was thinking maybe a gift basket with 16 chick flicks? Or maybe a spa kit?
Answer
a spa kit is nice but here are some more options :) :
- you can ask her mom / dad what their daughter likes. then make her a "gift of favorites". like for example the gift box should include a tee or a dress of her favorite color, a cd/dvd of her favorite band, her candies and chocolates of her favorite flavor, teen make-up of her favorite shade etc
-Lip-gloss, make-up products....
- a t-shirt with a message
- a journal for her adult years to write memories
- a pen with her name and or the date of her sixteenth birthday engraved in
- locket
- a cake
I hope i help! good luck ;)

How to stop giving gifts to friends?
LoveLife
I have three close friends that I give birthday gifts to. I got married in 2006. They don't give gifts to my husband just me. I feel like they don't put effort into the gifts anymore and I put thought and money into them. How can I stop giving birthday gifts. We are hoping we will have a baby soon and would like to only give gifts to kids no adults anymore. How do you do it nicely?
Answer
I would talk to your friends about this. Just tell them that now that your family is getting bigger and that you and your husband are planning to start a family soon, you would prefer not to do "gifts" for friends b-days anymore. See how they feel about it. If they aren't putting much effort into the gifts anymore, they may agree. If they are totally against giving up this tradition, then you will need to decide how much this means to you and your friendships.
You could suggest that instead of gifts, that you just do dinner for each of your birthdays. I think it is very nice to take a friend out to dinner for their birthday rather than giving a gift. (This is what my friends do!)
I would not suggest that you would like to just give gifts to the kids unless your friends have kids as well. I know many single people miss out on getting gifts that others get (wedding gifts, kids gifts, shower gifts, etc) and they may feel that it is not fair that they still need to get a gift for your kid but you never need to get your single friend a gift anymore.
Another idea. If your friends atill want to give gifts for birthdays, I would just keep your gift giving simple and inexpensive. I usually keep track of what my friends have gotten me for my birthday to help me gauge how much to spend on them.
Good luck with this. I would bring it up casually and be open to suggestions from your friends as well!
