Realistic Bubble Pipe?


Posted Sunday November 2 2008, 2:51 pm

16/f
About a month ago, I was talking to my boyfriend, and we got on the topic of how fun bubble pipes are.
Like, the kiddie kind, that blows soap bubbles.
And I want to get him one for christmas.
But I want to get him one that looks like a real pipe, kind of like the one in Juno, not one of those stupid neon colored ones.
Does anyone know any stores or websites i could order one from? I wanna get a head start on buying it so I don't forget or run out of time.
Thanks!

pregnancy video music selection...


Posted Friday October 24 2008, 7:51 pm

I'm trying to use windows movie maker to make a pregnancy video for a friend who lives out of town and is due in early November. The only pictures I have are those from her baby blog. As a SURPRISE gift, I'm making this scrapbook/video (so I can't really ask for more pics or go snooping to get them). I have roughly 15 or so pictures of her showing off her developing baby bump. I'm not going to give/show her the movie until after the baby is born so I can get a few slides with the baby.
Anyway, I'm lacking in the department of background music. I don't necessarily need a song about pregnancy, but if the movie starts with one picture of the engagement, a few developing baby bump pictures, 2 pictures of her kitten (their first "bab...

cameraass


Posted Monday October 20 2008, 7:51 pm

so for christmas, i'm pretty sure i'll be getting a digital camera.
i'm just not sure what kind is very good.
like i want one that isn't TOO expensive, but it's a nice, thin one, that takes high quality pictures. like a digital camera, not one of those photography ones.

something that is about as thin as this, and has the same type of looks. but not color. haha

i just want it to be nice looking, not too expensive, and good quality. also, any personal experiences on good or bad breakableness. ha
thanks!

How can you tell if a Rolex watch is real or fake?


Posted Saturday October 11 2008, 10:24 pm

I was shopping around in this city last week with my mom and this guy was selling watches at a small table to the side. I thought it'd be great to mail my dad a watch as a gift since I don't see him very much. My dad is always looking for a good watch and he's gone through quite a few--two Casio watches, five or so Timex watches, and even a Bulova watch!

I looked at the watches and the guy told me they were real Rolex watches. My mom said they were probably fake Rolex watches or rip-offs, but the guy that was selling them insisted that they were real. The guy showed me the back of a watch, which was clear, and said that only genuine Rolex watches had clear casebacks.

I would love to buy my dad a genuine, re...

A Guy's Birthday Gift


Posted Tuesday October 7 2008, 2:18 pm

16/f and my boyfriend is 15/m

My boyfriend and I just started going out in August and his birthday is on October 22nd. I really have no idea what to get him. I know he loves baseball, but I don't want to be cheesy and get him something baseball-related. I also don't want to get him clothes because that's just something I'd like to leave to him. I'd greatly appreciate if I could have some nice (not cheesy!) gift ideas for him. Thank you so much in advance!

What is an appropriate wedding gift to give my former best friend?


Posted Thursday September 18 2008, 2:14 am

My ex-best friend is getting married and I have been invited to the wedding through a series of undesirable events.

I have decided to attend the wedding; although, I do not believe my ex-best friend wanted me to at first (until I confronted her about it). She did eventually invite me herself so I feel it is a nice gesture to attend the wedding. I do want to show her that I was a good friend and go to her wedding appropriately.

I am wondering what would be appropriate to purchase as a wedding gift for her and her husband. I really need advice on this as I've never attended a wedding in my entire life.

She is almost 22 and will be marrying a guy that is 25. They have been seeing each other for ...

How much money do I spend on a sweet 16 birthday gift for my best friend?


Posted Tuesday September 2 2008, 6:09 am

I went shopping at the Gap yesterday with my best friend. We did our normal routine and checked out a few places in the mall before heading over to the Gap, where my best friend spotted a really cute top. She couldn't (and still can't) afford the top at the Gap though so we ended up having to pass it up. We had lunch at Subway after shopping and she started talking about the top at the Gap. Her sweet 16 birthday is coming up and, even though I'm throwing her a party, I think it would be kind of nice to buy the top for my best friend as a birthday present.

The Gap top is actually $48 though.
Do you think it's appropriate for me to give this to her as a birthday gift or do you think it's too expensive? She has no id...

How can I throw a fun birthday party? Sweet 16.


Posted Monday September 1 2008, 5:02 am

My best friend is having a birthday soon and I want to throw her a party. She really likes parties so I think it would be a neat idea. I've never thrown a party before so I need some suggestions and advice on how to go about throwing her one.

She'll be turning 16.
I'm inviting around 25 guests.

First off, I'm not sure where in the world to get party supplies at. Where do I purchase party supplies? Are there places to buy party supplies online at or specific party supply stores? I'm looking for fun party decorations / supplies.

Next, should we have some sort of party games? What party games would be appropriate? We're both virgins and are going to stay that way until we're married s...
