is this a good going away gift?

anonymous

A friend of mine is going to basic training in a month, in two months I'm moving to Chicago, so it's going to be a long time before we get to see each other.
I want to get her a going away/early birthday gift. I'm thinking of a fancy journal and pen. Something she'll be able to use at Basic.
Any other gift ideas?

Answer
A journal is a wonderful idea... I would say maybe some stamps and envelops so you can mail each other... My wife said she hated that she couldn't contact anyone by anymeans since she left with only her phone and nothing else, but cadet phone use is limited.

my gf's birthday idea?

my girlfriend is turning 18 this Sunday and I wanna give her a different kind of gift sort of like and awesome experience. We have been together for 2 years and 3 months, We live in Chicago and i was thinking of taking her to the Sears Tower (Willis Tower) on the 103rd floor and having a romantic dinner. She has never been there and I think it would be awesome, there's a catch though. The price is $100 per person so i would waste $200, keep in mind im paying for my college and have bills to pay. Should I take her there for her bday or should i wait for our 3 year anniversary instead to take here to the Willis tower on our 3 year anniversary? What do you guys think? For a girl is her bday more important? or is a 3 year anniversary more important?

PS: if 3 year anniversary is more important what other ideas do you guys have for her bday? THANKS TO ANYONE THAT HELPS OUT!

Answer
Birthdays and anniversaries are both important to us women. But we marvel more over our man remembering an anniversary. Because EVERYone remembers our birthday. However, if her BD marks your 2 yr, 3 mo. anniversary... you could combine the two, but make sure you give her two separate gifts. Like dinner for her BD, plus something for her to open for the anniversary.

I say take her there for her 18th! It's certainly not a waste of money because you'll be showing her how much you value her. It may appear to be a financial sacrifice given your situation, but if you are serious about her, this will be an investment that pays.

My 19 year old son took his girlfriend skydiving on her 18th birthday. (luckily in summer). He knew ahead of time that she wanted to try it. She never suspected that's where he was taking her. And I wouldn't actually recommend it but maybe that might spark something else.

I was at the Willis Tower in 2011 and that glass floor shook me up, I don't know how anyone walks out onto it!
