I have gone from younggrandma to just yg. Now,
I am using my real name.
I don't think anyone who knows me will have trouble figuring out who that is!


I have been gone a while dealing with things in my own life. I am back now to help once again. Do not expect answers from me that just tell you what you want to hear. Life is to short for nonsense. :)

my boyfriends sweet 16 is next weekend and i wanted to get him a zippo lighter and it be personalized with his name, music notes and a cute saying, its $20 and theres a store for it in the mall but i dont know if it would be offensive to him. he is like hardcore straightedge and gets mad at me because our friends smoke alot but we dont. its not ment to be for smokeing i just like lighters for art and insence and concerts and stuff. i got him a bob marley lighter before for no reason but it was cheap. weve ben going out for a year and a half (link)
It wouldn't be offensive, but why not get him something useful to him? Something he can show his parents should they ask what his girlfriend got him for his birthday, ya know?

His parents may be different, but the first thing I would think is, why do you need a lighter? I agree
they are useful for things other than smoking, but parents don't always think rationally when it comes to their teens in this world.

Does he use or carry around the other lighter you got him?

My opinion doesn't matter. You know him best! Just
giving you a different prospective. :)
