birthday present.


Question Posted Monday August 14 2006, 3:10 pm

my best friends birthday is coming up, and i have not idea what to get her. the thing is, that i usually get my friends 20 dollars and vice versa. but she got me somereally nice, and it cost a lot of money. she got me a heart shaped picture frame with a picture of me and her in it, with my name ingraved, and the date and it was 80 dollars..

So far I'm giving her a Geauga lake ticket, and the next day shes going with me to geauga lake.

Any ideas that i can give her that are nice, yet not super expensive?

Oh! Oh! Oh! I love these questions!! Horray! I'm PurplePudgyPenguin by the way! I'm going to answer your question!
Random person: O.O; obviously...
PPP: :( aw.

Anyways! I can think of a few ideas on what to get her. They're small and don't cost much at all. But the thought does count. Trust me, it does. (I have to tell a story. Can I?! Yay! Okay, it was christmas time and my boyfriend isn't the greatest at saving his money or managing it {Ha ha! He'd kill me if he caught me telling you this} [Oh and I gotta admit I expected something big but... ya!] and he gave me this box. I opened it and there wasn't anything in it. I was so confused, and I thought he hated me. I was close to crying {I cry easily. Yeah.} but then he threw himself on me and gave me this huge hug. He told me it was something he would never be able to fit in a box. And he gave me the sweetest, best kiss I have ever had. It was so romantic and it only cost like 5 cents. ^_^ I loved it! ... Okay! Story done!) But anyways, I'll give you a list of things that would be sweet, inexpensive, and from your heart. But keep in mind, these are mere suggestions. Don't follow down the list and do everything like an instruction manual. I'm 16, don't follow what I say. *Girly giggle*

1) Oh my personal favorite, a construction paper card. It's cute, it's sweet, it comes from the heart. No one can resist the vast amount of glue, glitter, paper, and googly eyes on a poorly cut out penguin (Story to that but I'll bore you).
2) A mix tape! They rock. I love them so much when I get them. Record a few songs, burn some on CD that you like and that she likes. Listen to them in the car and smile at each other.
3) A teddy bear!!! Omg! I love stuffed animals. Your girl's probably not as girly and corny as me but I love anything fuzzy and fluffy. And she might too. I recommend Build-A-Bear for this. Liek build one of you or one of her. Or both!
4) DJ record. This is new to me so I can't fill in all the details. It kind of goes to the mix tape idea, only your voice is on it. Parts go in like "Hey I love you!" or just you talking about nothing.
5) A dinner. Either you at her house, her at your house, or just going out to eat. Recommendation: No MccyD's. Girls don't like McDonalds. Trust me. (Story! ... I'll stop ^^)
6) Like my story, get her a hug. It's sweet, it's simple, and it's the most expensive thing you could ever give her. Because it's worth more than diamonds or jewelry or gold. Okay that was cheesy but it'll mean a lot.

The list isn't that great, and I can't come up with much else. Sorry, this kind of stunk since I'm on a brainfart. I'm sorry if I didn't help much or just plain confused you (*Hyper tonight*). I wish you the best of luck!! By the way, you're a great friend if you go through all this trouble to buy her something special. Don't worry one bit. It isn't how expensive the gift is, it depends on how much love you put into it. If you didn't like the advice, just ask away to another advisor. We've got thousands of them at advicenators. Trust me. It's like battle for answering questions. ^_^ They're good though, and can kick what I said in the fanny. Take care!!!!!

Luvs,
~PPP~

well, since she's your best friend, you know what she likes a lot more than us. but anyways, you could give her a picture frame with pix of you guys or other friends, take her to dinner, get her a gift certificate for the mall or her favorite store, maybe something that has to do with an inside joke you have, make her a bulletin board for her room [you can decorate it & put pictures & post it notes or designs], clothing, jewelry, etc.

-hope that helped!♥

Maybe get her out of her house and make a little resteraunt type looking thing there. Then, you can order out or make her a special dinner or something.

Maybe take pictures of you guys while you're at whatever it is that you're going to ((lol, sorry, I think it's ballet, but I'm not sure)) then put together a HUGE collage of that and many other pictures.
People ADORE things like that!!

Good luck!
