umm..

O.K. before I can answer your questions, I have a couple of questions.

How much would you like to spend per person?

What do these people like to do for fun?

Well, here are a few ideas without knowing anything about your family.

Books, CDs, DVDs, cologne, perfume, a foot spa, gift certificate to a place they like to eat, or to a spa, or beauty salon. My brothers bought me a gift certificate for my birthday to a salon/spa, and it was soooo nice. PDAs are always nice, webcam, digital camera. Those are kind of pricey though. For gadgets go to Tigerdirect.com.

For my dad, he is easy, he always likes boring power tools.

My parents are nuts over their dog, so we are going to buy them a collar for their dog that supposedly translates what his barks mean, or what he is thinking???? They will get a kick out of that.

for your cousin and his girlfriend.. maybe you can get them movie tickets and a gift certificate for dinner... same thing for your parents?

Frieda · 12-06-2003, 09:46 PM

hmmm well for my parents i want to spend about 60 - 100 euros per person.. for my cousin and his girlfriend i only need a small gift of about 10 euros..

my mom: she´s a photographer, likes pretty stuff, very hard!

i guess i´m going to give my dad a dvd player or something..

my cousin is an 18 y/o boy, geeky like me, clever enough to build his own tesla coil, likes toys and opens things to see what´s inside

i don´t really know his girlfriend.. i heard she likes colorful things, not really girly..

I am making calendars for those people who have everything. I can personalize each one with photos and dates of importance.

Forgive me for being naive, but do they have gift certificates in Holland? That is the best thing to get someone that you're not sure what they would like.

My no-brainer gift, since I am in cheeseheadland, is a block of good cheddar & local wine. Maybe a box of Triscuits if I am feeling fancy. Either that or I will bake cranberry nut bread.

But you are talking about teenagers, so I would go with the gift certificates.

Frieda · 12-07-2003, 04:43 PM

well, gift certificates are really my last option. it´s as if i didn´t want to take the time to find something!

coffee, i love your artwork, but it´s not really something for my family.. sorry!

i think i´m going to buy a dvd or something for my cousin. just have to find out which one..

maybe for his girlfriend some kind of bracelet or necklace.. maybe candles.. hmm..
