Question Posted Wednesday January 11 2006, 3:39 pm
My sister-in-law is getting married and moving away at the end of the month. I've only known her for a year now, and we've just started to bond. I'm really upset and depressed that she's moving and I want to do something for her. The problem is, I don't have a lot of money, or any idea what I should do or what I should get her.
Does anyone have any ideas of something special we could do together before she leaves, or something I could give to her? I really want whatever I do to make an impression, and I'm going to miss her a lot.

Hope you find some of my ideas useful and will help you keep in touch with her i know its hard but you will get through it!good luck

sizzlinmandolin answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 5:00 pm: As good of an idea as making a scrapbook is, I know firsthand that scrapbooking can get pretty darn expensive, plus it takes much more time than the time that you have to make one. Sometimes you want to think more in than out especially if you have a low budget to work with. I've always found that being at home with someone is the best time that you can share with that person. Rent some movies, make dinner, bake some cookies, look at old pictures, have a snowball fight, but whatever you do do it with her. The simple pleasures in life are often the best as cliche as that sounds. It'll be cozy, fun, and definitely memorable. If that doesn't float your boat, do something out of the ordinary. Think of some of the attractions in your area that you or she hasn't been to. I have no idea where you live, but if you live close to a city that gives you lots of options. Take a ride in an airplane over where you live. Your options really are endless. Sometimes after living in an area for awhile it seems like there isn't much that you don't know about it or haven't done. Go to a nearby travel agency or something similar and look at the brochures for inspiration. Whatever you choose to do, I hope that everything turns out how you want it to and good luck!

Erinn_the_bamf answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 4:36 pm: You should make a photo album or scrap book. Put any pictures you may have of you two or her and her family or you and your family. Or events you both attended. On eah page write a little message to her. On the last page put a letter to her describing how much this past year ment to you and how much you will miss her.

I don`t really have any ideas on what you should make her, but just remember that it`s the thought that counts!

DancinCutie08 answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 4:22 pm: edit:: i saw someone say it was expesive.. accually it can be rather cheap. even if you want something fancy.. it just depends on where you buy it. like i saw in a catolog yesterday then had a kit to make like a 40 page scrapbook for $10. just remeber buy it in bulk or a kit will prob be cheaper and nicer than just buying like 1 or 2 peices of paper at a time
make a scrap book of times you were together or pictures of you guys and your family and stuff so when she leaves she can remeber one.. and maybe add some lyrics to the page about like sister bonds or something. [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
THOSEGirls answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 3:45 pm: If you have pictures of the two of you and other family members, you could make her a scrapbook or a collage. That would be really personally, but wouldn't have to cost a lot. Also, if you listen to similar music or have songs that remind you of her, you could make a mix tape.
