Big Bad Wolf asked:


I live in India and would like send a little birthday gift to a good friend living in AZ, USA.
She is turning 30 and is happily married.
Please help me with your suggestions about what i can send and what I should not.
1. I don’t want to send anything inappropriate
2.Don’t say ‘Elephant’, cause i have size and logistics constraints.
3.Don’t mean to sound cheap, but like they say..its the thought that counts..I don’t have a very big budget to work with

Wedding gift suggestion for neighbors?

February 5th, 2010 — 12:45 am
Jen♄Cubs asked:


We just moved and our new neighbors invited us to their wedding. I am stumped on their gift, however. I’m not sure if they drink, I was thinking maybe a wine basket but my luck is they are recovering alcoholics. Any suggestions? I want to spend around $50.

What is an appropriate Christmas gift for a Cancer Patient?

November 4th, 2009 — 03:07 pm
Ruff_and_stuff asked:


I have an aunt in her 70s and she has ovarian cancer. While she is doing quite well considering, her cancer is terminal and she probably has another 2-3 years (she was diagnosed 2 years ago). She is still in good spirits and is tolerating chemo quite well. My dilemma is that i don’t know what to get her for Christmas. A lot of stuff seems like its totally irrelevant considering what she is dealing with. Besides, she is the kind of woman that if she wants something, she would make sure she gets it, so she doesn’t really need anything. She is still active in her community, sings in a chorale, is very concerned about her appearance (but has more clothes than she knows what to do with). Any suggestions are much appreciated. More appropriate gift questions will follow. Thanks!

Is it appropriate to give a boss diamonds for a Christmas gift?

October 21st, 2009 — 01:06 am
DP asked:


We have a female manager and all the girls are going out for a Christmas lunch. Our manager wants to treat as a Christmas to all of us and I suggested we all go in on a gift for our manager. Someone wants to buy her a diamond necklace, but others, including myself, feel diamonds are a bit intimate and personal, not something you’d give to a person you work with/for. What do you all think?

If you know someone gave you a cheap gift do you say something or let it and them go?

July 23rd, 2009 — 03:30 am
CREAM asked:


We are friends but the gift given was delivered to my home, with the tags still on it, the manufacturers fault. Regardless the gift was cheap. I want to tell this person, they needed the money more than I needed or wanted that gift.

Skidoo asked:


I mean, is it normal, polite, etc, to send gifts commemorating their first anniversary? And subsequent anniversaries? Or is that something they just celebrate together until it’s been like 25 years or something?
