Gifts - Simple Gift Guide

Is that special someone in your life a gardener? A really nice gift for the gardener in your life is a personalized gardening gift basket.

Things to include: seed packets, gardening gloves, gardening tools, decorative garden markers. Basket ideas: a watering can, a pretty planter, or a nice basket.

Be creative, and make it personal. If your loved one likes flowers, include some hard to find flower seeds -- if they like growing vegetables or herbs, include that type of seeds.

Maybe include a gardening book to help him/her with new ideas.

The sky's the limit here - make it personal and make it fun. It doesn't have to be expensive, and can be a gift that your loved one will treasure and remember forever!

Obnoxious younger sister's gift for brother's 50th birthday

June 18th 2009 03:24

My brothers are MUCH older than I am. The oldest turned 50 about 3 years ago. I decided I'd send him a card a day for 50 days. I used the free e-card services that allow you to schedule delivery - very easy - each week I'd choose 7 different cards and schedule them for delivery to his inbox each day. Well - he got tired of opening the e-cards, so he didn't even see them all.

The next brother will be 50 this Friday - so I decided to do something similar for him. 50 days before his birthday, I started sending him "homemade" e-cards. I used my digital scrapbooking program to make him unique "cards." I saved each one as an image, and resized it for more suitalbe emailing. That way - when he opens his email message - the image is right there - he doesn't have to click on anything. Probelms with this option: I had to remember to send one each day (no scheduling options), I had to come up with 50 different ideas, no animation or music attached. But, he really liked the cards. I did forget a couple of times to send them on the right days, so I had to play catch up and send a few cards a couple of times. He even emailed to see if I was "ok" when I missed a couple of days in a row

Digital Scrapbook

June 17th 2009 03:22

Ok - my newest hobby is digital scrapbooking - I'm having a blast with this. I love scrapbooking, but doing it on the computer makes it so much more fun. AND - having the scrapbooks printed as photo books make awesome gifts.

I made one for my parents last year for Christmas - as well as one for my own family. I just used a collection of family photos from the year (or prior years) and made a page for each member of the family. This year, I'm making a page for specific events - family get-togethers, etc

The "Funnest" Gift Under Our Tree

December 28th 2008 19:14

I usually use this blog to discuss unique gifts I've found, and homemade gifts I've made or want to make, but I can't let the holiday season pass without discussing the funnest gift we had under our tree.

First, a little background. My kids (all teenagers) begged for an X-Box 360 this year. Since they had not been keeping up with their chores, I was relunctant to get it for them - knowing they'd do less work because they'd be playing games all the time. My husband gave in, so we got the 360 and Rockband
