Do you have any pics of the two of you together, from when you first started dating until now? If so mabye get them done in black and white and play around with them, put them into an album labeled with your names on the front, for each pic you can write something about it, or in the end of the album write her/his a poem about your relationship and how you feel about her/him!

Nice Cupecakes are cute and sweet

From Clay:

A good Idea is to make a batch of cupcakes. Make each top of the cupcake a different color of frosting. then on top of that with white icing pipe on things like (Love you, Text me, Hi, or anything that you would find on a sweetheart) I think that would be a great Idea. He would be shure to love that.

II am serving a stack of heart shapped pancakes with strawberrys to start the day, i have booked a chocolate making workshop for us to do in the morning, i am making a special ‘high tea’ lunch then i have rented a thatched cottage to stay the night and taking him to a restauaraunt for a meal and the next morning i will serve him breakfast in bed. got him a few bits to

and

last year…i made him a promise box. I got a heart shapped box from the pound/doller store and filled it with promises for that day. I put in a candle with the promise of a ‘candle lit meal’ that i had waiting for him when he got home, also a small bottle of bath oil with the promise of running him a nice hot bath, and a varies of other things which i wont mention cos you said no rude answers! lol. but you can put what you want in. i got some free tickets to a comedy show which i put in for after the meal.
i also did silly things like when i made his sandwiches for work i cut them into heart shapes and included a heart shapped chocolate lolly in his lunch box and his favourite soft drink which is hard to find where we live. i also stuck heart shapped post it notes in places like his work tool box for him to find during the day to remind him i loved him. i also made a scrapbook for him and put down reasons why i loved him in it. Oh and i baked a cake to and iced sloppy messeges on it.
i have also (not on valentines) promised a night under the stars but cos its still cold i got some glow in the dark stars which you can stick on the ceiling and i packed a picnic and threw a blanket on the living room floor and we ‘picnicked’ under the stars.

Going to get a dictionary, and go through it [yes, the whole thing] and highlight words that remind you of him, and going to cover up the front and back of the dictionary and make it pretty and more personal.

It’ll take a long time, but the love is worth it.

Good Christmas Gift Ideas

If you’re wondering what are good Christmas gift ideas, all you need to do is think about the recipient. Your focus on what they really enjoy will guide you to choosing the perfect present.
While some people may be amazed at the selection of luxurious items in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which debuts every October, that doesn’t mean you need to spend this kind of money for every person on your list.

You can come up with a variety of unique gift ideas by first sitting down with pen and paper and mapping out who you’ll be giving presents to this year. Then, draw up a budget. Does this make you Mr. Scrooge? No. In fact, the right kind of budget lets you expand on your creativity, instead of winging your way through the mall picking up any old thing on a sale rack.

Your gift list might include:

* Children, partners, parents, and siblings
* Close friends and special relatives, like grandparents, aunts, and uncles
* Your children’s teachers or sitters
* Neighbors, Sunday school teachers, instructors, and people who provide special services

Once you’ve established a budget, you can think about what are good Christmas gift ideas for each individual. When shopping online, take advantage of retailers’ sites that help you by sorting items by price range – it’s a much easier.

What Are Good Christmas Gift Ideas for Family?

Time spent together and opportunities to explore individual interests are terrific ideas for loved ones.

Children

When buying for children, choose activity-based games and kits that encourage the imagination and time spent together. For example:

* Kits for making homemade bubble gum or building cars. These often require older child or adult supervision, but it’s a different type of play.
* An all-ages board game.
* A portable keyboard with a wide selection of instruments and sounds so everyone can join in.
* A pass to a science center or children’s activity center for family fun all year long.

Teenagers

Today’s teenagers have special wants and needs that may differ from other children in the family. Consider these gift ideas for teenagers:

* The opportunity to throw a special party.
* An image makeover – works well for both young women and men.
* Tickets to a play or concert.
* Supplies to indulge a special hobby.
* An upgrade on a cell phone or mp3 player.

Keep in mind that while many of these gifts are great ways to spend time together, your teen may choose to share them with friends instead, or simply have a little “me” time. Don’t put stipulations on the gift; just let them know you’re interested in joining them if it’s their choice. That option may be another gift you give them.

Partners

Ask yourself, “If I had one full day without chores/work/kids/other obligations, what would I do?” Spend all day scrapbooking? Finish building that flag frame in the woodshed? Go to an author’s book signing or take in a game with some friends? Before giving your partner another clunky kitchen gadget or talking fish, consider giving your partner a new “honey do” list, as in, “Honey, do whatever you want this Saturday!”

Remember that before you were a wife or mother, husband or father, you were two individuals who enjoyed spending quality time together. When someone asks what you want for a Christmas present say, “Time alone with my spouse.” Arrange for another person to babysit or dog sit, and you and your partner spend a day or an overnight somewhere together. This type of gift will keep giving for a long time.

Parents and Siblings

Each family shares a unique history. Think about memorable trips, occasions, and celebrations and put them together in a special book or scrapbook.

If this is a gift for parents, ask each of your siblings to write a chapter on one of their favorite family moments, or a collection of experiences. Each person can sort through photos or mementos, and donate a little to the cost of printing and binding so that each individual has a copy.

This doesn’t have to be a one-time gift: build the book into categories such as “Christmas Times I Remember” or “Lake Vacations” and make a new contribution to the book each year.

Another gift for siblings is to do something together you loved to do as kids. This could be a weekend trip to an amusement park or camping in the backyard.

Gifts for Other Special People

Friends and other people who enrich your life enjoy your thought of them during the holidays. Good Christmas gift ideas for them include:

* A gift certificate for a movie or lunch.
* A gift card to their favorite store or for a special hobby.
* Homemade food gifts you can personalize to suit a particular taste.
* A donation to a group or charity in the person’s name.

Another gift idea is to give of yourself. Maybe a new mother needs an extra set of hands, or your grandfather wants to learn how

Simple Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas for Adults

After seeing store bought baskets, and being disappointed in their shoddiness and poor quality, I make baskets, and varied them by theme according to each family. It got quite expensive last year because it was my first time, but this year I am picking up wicker baskets at thrift stores such as The Salvation Army and Goodwill.

1. Bring baskets home. Line up in the bathtub . . . turn on shower with warm water over them to remove the dust. Place them out in the sun to dry, and air.

2. Silver, gold, red, and green (or whatever color you like) paints and lovely 2″ Christmas ribbon can be picked up at Dollar Tree for $1.00. It is embossed with gorgeous designs. Make sure to keep in the mind’s eye how that ribbon will coordinate with the colors you have chosen to paint your baskets, or leave them natural.

3. Filler ideas:

Edible Ideas: home baked cookies, fudge, breads . . . a pretty mug stuffed with individually wrapped teabags, a pound of good coffee, beef jerky, summer sausage, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels, fruit, etc. Also candies and cookies that you find at a reasonable price such as Target, Tuesday Morning, local dollar stores etc.

Luxury: Bath mitt, bubble bath or oil, loofah sponge, scented soaps, lotions, bath salts (that can be made with epsom salt, and essential oils.)

Kitchen: pot holders, oven mits, homemade cookie mix, dishtowels, etc.

You can also tuck in a farmer’s almanac, crossword puzzle books & dictionary, pencils, manual sharpener, a favorite magazine that the recipients would enjoy, but would normally not splurge on for themselves. I found so much pleasure in making or finding items to go in my baskets.

The possibilities are almost endless regarding the themes that can be used . . . gardening, makeup, shut-ins, etc.

Last year when I delivered my baskets to my family members they were surprised, and I could tell that they enjoyed the fact that I had put time into their gifts. I had placed a 2008 farmer’s almanac in my oldest brother’s basket last year. He said he started to buy one, but saw the cost, and did not . . . so he was obviously pleased. The beautiful baskets were placed in prominent places where family and holiday visitors who dropped by could rummage through the basket, and find some goodies to nibble on. After the holidays, they own a pretty basket that can be used for fruit, etc. next year.

Anyway . . . I hope this helps.

Top 7 Most Poplular Gift Ideas for Baby Shower

Baby clothes- Babies need clothes to keep them warm and comfy, and to protect their little bodies. You can get undershirts, onesies, jumpsuits, hats, socks, baby dresses, sleepers, pyjamas and a receiving blanket. Make sure you get hypoallergenic products so the child would be safe from skin irritations.

Baby grooming, bath and health products- These can help clean and take care of the baby’s body. Grooming, bath and health products can include baby shampoo, lotion, baby wash, baby wipes, baby soap, nail file, scissors, baby thermometer, safety pins and first aid kit. A baby basin can also be a good baby shower gift.

Baby feeding time necessities- Items that can help feed babies are always great gift choices. Baby bottles, baby formula, bottle holders, nipples, breast pump, bibs, feeding spoon, baby dishes, tipper cup and burp towels are great choices you can get.

Baby toys- These can come in different kinds. Some toys can help the child learn, while others are only made solely for entertainment. Examples of baby toys include teething toys, play mats, musical toys, mobile, teething toys and stuffed animals.

Gifts for the parents- Sometimes, guests like to give baby shower gifts that are more useful for the parent than the baby. These gifts can include spa gift certificate, babysitting coupons and books on parenting.

Expensive, but practical gifts- parents would certainly appreciate these, since they’re expensive, but very useful. Baby furniture, such as dresser, changing table, bassinet, highchair, and baby swing are common examples. Large accessories, such as a stroller, baby car seat and safety gate are also practical choices.

Diaper cake- Parents are always running out of diapers, so this inedible cake would certainly be a great gift. Not only does a diaper cake contain loads of diapers, it also has baby lotion, toys, soap and baby bottles in it. It’s a great gift for any baby shower.
