For some reason my facebook wall is being filled with gifts from people. These gifts didn’t used to show, this is something new. I’d like to have facebook set up as it was before where you accessed gifts sent to you through the right column on the home page.

If you want to give someone a gift that is sentimental, what kind of gifts would you give them? What would mean something to them alot to be considered as sentimental?
Sentimental gifts are gifts that have meaning behind them. Promise rings, lockets, bracelets, even stuffed animals, or photo books can be really nice sentimental gifts.
I know what the origins of Christmas trees are…comes from paganism. but what about the practice of putting gifts underneath it?
Yes the trees are pagan, the gifts at Christmas actually come from the real/original Saint Nicholas as do stockings
I am 13 and need to give gifts to my dad, mom, grandma, and grandpa. My family is running tight on money so I don’t get much to spend on gifts. I do NOT want ideas like coupons or dumb stuff like that I want to give them something they will find useful or something that they will REALLY like. Ideas PLEASE I appreciate it.
How about rice bags? Fill a sock with white rice. Sew it closed tightly. Make a cover out of flannel. The finished rice bag can be microwaved for a neck/foot/cuddly warmer, or put in the freezer to place on injuries.
Typically I would spend between $50-100 on my closest friends for Christmas, but I’ve noticed every year that my friends would spend between $5-25 for my gifts. Job wise; I don’t make a whole lot and probably earn the least amount of money out of all my friends. I want to be generous for Christmas gifts, but am I being too generous? Going forward, Should I adjust my spending to $5-25?
Generally speaking, I try not to look at price when buying gifts for my two closest friends. I know one of them definitely never looks at price, and the other will try to match my gift value. But I know they both don’t mind if we look for cheaper prices for the same item.
I usually feel guilty if my friends buy me something expensive, so I’ll try to match them. I guess all I can recommend is don’t go intentionally looking for expensive gifts. Just like someone else said, if you see something one of them’ll like, just buy that. You don’t have to flourish it up and make it an expensive gift.
Also, they may not realize how much you’re putting into their gifts. And do you just feel that the gifts you’re getting are cheap? Or do you know? Best not think about that if you don’t know for sure.
Plus, it’s the thought that counts right?
I’m volunteering to help get holiday gifts for our local school. I have some ideas as what to get, but I would love to get them something memorable. But problem is I will be using corporate spending. I don’t like the idea of just traditional things, although I feel they may enjoy it. I feel that something that is memorable, without going overboard maybe worth it.
What does anyone recommend?
Have you considered getting them food? Perhaps a Christmas dinner instead of a toy? That would help not only the boys, but the families as well. There’s an old TV show called M*A*S*H where an officer gives candy anonymously to orphans only to find out that the candy was sold on the black market to buy enough food to feed the kids for a month. "It is sadly inappropriate to give dessert to a child who has no dinner."
That being said, if the food route is not a way you wish to go, check out Toys R Us. They have search filters by age and theme. That might provide you with a idea of what to get. Maybe even hang out near the Santa at the Mall and eavesdrop on the wishes of the children in that age-range.
Good luck. I hope your gesture brings happiness.
I am a receptionist at a local newspaper, and for the past couple of weeks people from businesses and universities have been bringing in Christmas gifts for our office, (a box of oranges, a plate of holiday cookies, etc.) and I was just wondering what we could do to thank them for such a kind gesture. In some cases, the universities are 20 miles (or more) away and I personally feel like it is such a kind thought to bring gifts and treats to us. What can I do to show them that we are truly appreciative?
fruit cake =) lol jk….and yes a card is a good way to start…also maybe a small basket full of small treats…maybe you can bake something for them also or get a box of holiday chocolate…those cans of popcorn with the holiday graphics on it are nice…just something as simple as the gift they gave to your business…..or a simple card with a thank you always does the trick, those were just maybe ideas to get you thinking a bit…its only once a year you can get away with sending someone a box of oranges =) lol since your a local newspaper…maybe when/if you decide to give them a gift in return or card….send them a copy of today’s paper (same date you give them a card/gift) from your company lol hey i wouldnt mind the paper for free…save me a quarter =)
There are about 4 staff workers in each unit - an RN and several aides. The Nursing Home sent a note saying that cash gifts aren’t permitted, but cookies or fruit are ok. The aides rolled their eyes at that. I got the impression that gift cards might be ok, but don’t know how much to purchase. One aide in particular has spent a lot of time with our family member and with us.
Family member was recently admitted to a unit with 16 patients.
I’ve worked in either nursing homes or assisted living facilities for 20 years, and it’s never been okay for staff to accept gifts from a resident or their family. I’d strongly suggest NOT giving a gift card — while the staff might take it gratefully (times are tough right now and you can hardly blame them), they are risking their job to do so. Accepting a gift that is intended for them only — cash, gift card, perfume, etc — is grounds for dismissal in EVERY place I’ve worked and every healthcare facility I’ve heard of. Fruit baskets, cookie trays, etc are often given, but I know one of the best "spreads" we got was from a family who brought in a bunch of really nice deli sandwich trays — enough for each shift to be able to enjoy.
Our current guest list is for 170 guests. We only have 100 gifts on our list. Is that enough? How many gifts should we put on our registry? We want everyone to have a good, affordable selection, but we don’t want to seem greedy, either. What is the proper etiquette for this? Thanks!
With 170 guests I’d be adding more to the registry. You arent going to be getting everything, and some (probably many), will be giving gifts as a couple instead of individual, but I’d still add more.
People will be using the registry for the shower (if they know of it), as well as for the wedding gifts. Or you can wait till after the shower to add more. It is frustrating as a guest to go to a registry and see that most things are already taken, (In that case they will be giving you things that you dont want/ need). make sure you put on it a big array of price ranges to suit everyone’s needs.
