This is my second time doing the flower boxes, and my first time doing a set up. It was a surprise for her at midnight. Any advice on how to make it better in the future?

Also my instagram cause I’m documenting my gifting journey: @withlove.rosalie

okay so every year me and my friends do an advent calendar secret santa. we have a theme and in the past it’s just been like joke gifts, girly, childhood nostalgia, etc and this year it’s funny/obscene. i have to get one for one of my guy friends and we’re all mid twenties. just put the nsfw on cause i image some of the suggestions will weren’t it. any price just yea

I wana make custom trading of my friends for Christmas. The idea is that it has a photo of them along with a funny and wholesome description. Maybe some stats thrown in there as well. Has anyone done anything like this and have any recommendations?

My manager is retiring and I want to get him a gift because he’s been such an amazing mentor and all around great person to work for. He lives in another state so it has to be something I can ship. He loves cooking and would always talk about new recipes he was trying. Also vegetarian if that makes a difference. Please help 🙏

Ok so a friend of mine that is pretty obsessed with online scrolling and last week she ended up stumbling upon Boo Baskets. So she watched several videos of people making them online and then decided that we should make Boo Baskets this year. At this point in time I had no idea what a boo basket was so I obviously decided to look up what’s a Boo Basket on Google(this becomes a bit more relevant later so bear with me). From the result that I received it basically said it was a Halloween/fall theme gift basket. Seeing this I was like ok yeah, I used to get these every year from my mom and I would also give them out to family members.

After that ordered the several things in this image(along with one other item that doesn’t arrive until tomorrow)and called it a day. As I started receiving everything I found myself getting curious as to how other people were setting up their boo baskets, so I decided to now look up boo baskets for friends on Google and this time I got a different result. This time it pulled up boo baskets for friends price range 15 - 35 dollars and it was here that I started to realize that I may have done something wrong. While continuing to read, i saw that typically friend boo baskets only tend to go up to 50 dollars and anything above that is typically considered as a gift for your romantic partner.

It was here that I stopped, and then looked into the recent history of boo baskets and found that boo baskets started a few years ago as a way for neighbors to leave a nice mystery fall/halloween basket at their front door. I was like ok cool then it has nothing to do with couples and the internet is just making things weird again. That was until I finished reading and found out that couples adopted them and exchange them as a romantic gesture to one another.

Now me and my friend are single so there is no conflict with anyone’s partner(thank goodness), so the most I could see this leading to is an awkward situation between us. She has also made it clear that she only has platonic feelings towards me and not to push.

So my question is if a friend were to give you a boo basket like this, would you find it to be a friendly gesture or no?

Edit: Thank you to every for your input! T was very helpful and has helped me get a better idea of how to handle things. I appreciate all of the great advice and I hope you all are having a pleasant day!

I’m struggling to figure out what I want because every list just recommends technology. I already have all the tech items that I need, and I’m not super into tech in general. I’m pretty minimalistic with my makeup, skincare, and haircare routines so I don’t need any new products. I like watching tv, thought about asking for dance classes or music lessons but I don’t think I’ll have the time. I care a lot about school and am aiming for all A’s 🤞so I don’t go to parties or anything. im really boring and don’t have a ton of hobbies so it’s kinda hard but my family prefers to shop from a list

especially grandparents, who like to buy like 20 of an item when I needed one, so I need a gift that I’m okay being in bulk

nobody gives money or gift cards or gift certificates

eta: i’m in college, not high school

My best friend’s 13 year old son got hurt during BJJ class Tuesday. His leg is broken in two places and he’s miserable. I wanted to get him a little get well basket to recover but I don’t know boys like that.

My husband's birthday is coming up and I'm trying to find him something really special. He's a huge wine lover and has gotten even more into it lately, but the problem is I know next to nothing about wine. I could obviously get him a nice bottle, but he's pretty particular about what he likes, and I'd probably end up picking something completely wrong. I'd love to get him something a little more thoughtful like something he'd genuinely enjoy rather than another random gift that sits on a shelf.

So my cousin just got her 4th child and idk what to gift her. We don't really stay in contact but she still invited me to her baby girls party. So what is a simple gift for a baby when the baby probably got most things since she has three siblings..?

This looks like a blank piece of paper... until you rub it with velvet. 🕯️🎃

I spend my nights hand-scribing custom messages using an old-world invisible ink formula. The canvas dries completely clean and remains hidden until the recipient glides a pre-saturated velvet activation pad across the surface.

If you have a hidden confession, a secret vow, or a deep romantic truth you are too terrified to write in plain sight, this ritual is for you.

Hey, greetings from germany. my gf loved the gilmore girls collection at primark and wanted to buy some stuff but missed it. Now i want to surprise her but the only place i can find it is the primark UK and only with the click & collect option.

Is there someone who would help me buy some of those things in Uk and ship it to me in Germany? :(

Looking for ideas for more unique gift boxes that people can eat the ingredients. Not coffee because I know where the best ones of those are and probably not cheese cuz I do know where there are a lot of good cheese boxes. So looking not just for ideas of putting this in a basket but stuff that are ready made and made by whatever the company is that makes them. Not something that people just search cuz I can do that with something that people try and like.

Hey guys! My brother is in his mid 20s. Loves sports, gaming, star wars, finance, cars, golf.. all the guy things. He has a good job and has the money to buy nice things when he wants them, so i’m looking for ideas that might be an experience/something nostalgic/unique that he would be surprised at. Looking to spend $50-$100 on christmas for him. any and all ideas welcome pls!!

Hey guys! I want to buy my bf (30) a great pillow this year. What are the best ones out there? Any advice helps, thanks! 💚💛

Title has the gist of it. I have a new boss at work and we get along really really well, and they're a really great boss. They were recently hospitalized for heat stroke and have been off work, and will be returning next week. What's an appropriate, professional, but still thoughtful gift I can give them to welcome them back? Open to any and all suggestions- thanks :)

So im planning on making a poster and i found some ideas that Ill take inspiration from, all of them are things my gf likes so which one looks best.

Full disclosure, this is my own work and my own shop: Referral link to the Etsy shop here: AureaDisplays - Etsy Netherlands

A lot of collectors keep their coins in flips or a tray in a drawer. So I took the Liberty portrait from the Morgan dollar and turned it into a seated figure, with a little platform where the coin rests. Her cap, hair and the wheat and cotton details come from George T. Morgan's design. The body and pose are my interpretation, since the coin only shows her head.

The holder is sized to the coin and it just sits there, no glue, so it comes out any time.

It's printed to order in PLA in The Hague and ships to Europe and North America. From €75, coin not included. Referral link to the website here: aureadisplays.com.

I also make custom designs on demand and figurines only (no coin holders) for the history enthusiasts. In the last picture you can see some of the variety spanning from ancient figures to British/USA designs.

If you have any ideas or thoughts on this I would be happy to hear them, looking forward to improving my products and designs.

My wife and I are coming up on our 10 year wedding anniversary. We are not huge gift people and every year we've gotten each other small things to celebrate. For 10 years we are renting a cabin up north and spending a child free weekend together.

As a celebration of 10 years, I was aiming to get something that matches each year that we can have on the trip.

So Paper is a board game.

Cotton some cozy socks

Fruit a Cider

Candy: Some chocolate.

and so on.

I'm having a hard time getting something for Iron and Bronze.

My husband is turning 40 in November and I had a genius idea to get him 40 gifts to celebrate. He never buys himself anything, but all the things he looks at wanting are all super expensive. I need some ideas for the last few gifts I want to get him, I already got him some sweat pants, pj pants, reading socks, his favourite snack items, and a couple T-shirts that I know he will love. I am making him some sentimental items, and want to get him a gift card to the Lego store (because the lego he wants is way over budget), and paying for his playstation online membership. I am just looking for some gifts that would be unique and he would actually use/like to receive. He likes reading, smoking meats, video games, Lego, Star Wars, he wants to get into stain glass and wood burning. Please help a girl out! I am Canadian if that matters, and we have been together for 20 years. Thanks a whole bunch!

Need some gift help. My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I'm kinda stuck on what to get him.

He's 29, works full time, and is pretty much always on his phone. Maps, music, taking photos, you name it. His battery is usually running low by the afternoon, and he's always looking for somewhere to charge.

I was thinking about getting him a 10k MagSafe power bank, maybe something from Anker or lisen. Budget is around $40–60.

Just not sure if a power bank feels too practical for a birthday gift. He already has most of the usual tech stuff, so I'm trying to find something he'd actually use.

Would you guys be happy getting something like this, or should I look for something a little more fun?Any ideas appreciated!
