Bob :-) Answer Subject: Re: Unique Groomsmen Gifts! Answered By: nenna-ga on 23 Aug 2005 12:32 PDT Hello Leoni1234-ga,I have found 2 gifts in your price range that I think would be unique.A personalized beer mug with their name and the date, which you couldadd a bottle of beer along with for the reception or your time withthe boys before the wedding. http://www.ashmontengraving.com/product/013141.shtml You could also do an engraved Yo-yo as a gift though it is about 2.49more per person than the 20.00 you mentioned. http://www.ashmontengraving.com/product/012574.shtml Google Search:Unique groomsmen gifts http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=unique%20groomsmen%20gifts&btnG=Google+Search If this answer requires further explanation, please requestclarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into thisfurther.Nenna-GAGoogle Answers Researcher Comments Log in to add a comment Subject: Re: Unique Groomsmen Gifts!

From: chango989-ga on 23 Aug 2005 14:29 PDT My brother got married 4 years ago and gave out mini leatherman'sengraved with the person’s name. I don't think they were leathermanbrand, but something similar. A search for Mini Leatherman shouldlead you to where these can be purchased (My bro got his atSportmart). I think he got them for around $19 each. Everyone in hiswedding party still carries/uses the tool all the time.If you go this route - I would recommend getting the plain silverones, as the color/painted ones seemed to fade/chip over time. Subject: Re: Unique Groomsmen Gifts! From: zodiacman-ga on 24 Aug 2005 17:31 PDT dear sir,If you're still looking for groomsmen gifts, check the CASIO Watches atWalmart or SuperWalmart stores. In my opinion, CASIO watches in the $20-$30price range are a very solid value. They are very functionsl, durable, anddependable.cheers..... Subject: Re: Unique Groomsmen Gifts!

Shower Gift Baby shower
How to Buy a Baby Shower Gift - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Holidays & Traditions Center Special Events How to Buy a Baby Shower Gift Baby shower gifts can be simple or elegant, traditional or creative and personal. Select with creativity and care - the possibilities are endless. Steps: 1. Check the registry. These days, many moms-to-be register for baby items they know they will need. 2. Use your experience as a parent (or ask someone you know who has kids): What could you not live without during the first year? 3. Investigate the needs of the new parents. Do they need a front carrier, a baby backpack or a stylish diaper bag? 4. Go in with a group to purchase baby furniture or strollers. Send these the minute you know a baby is expected, or tell the parents you plan to buy them. 5. Monogram a silver baby mug, baby silverware or a silver picture frame. 6. Buy child-sized jewelry: a nametag bracelet or bangle; a heart necklace for a girl; or an ID bracelet, tie bar or cufflinks for a boy. 7. Choose clothes in size 3 months or larger. A baby usually has a first outfit and will quickly outgrow newborn sizes. Include gift receipts if possible. 8. Start the baby's library with a classic hardbound book. Put a nameplate in the front cover for a personal touch. 9. Evaluate your spending limits. If you don't want to spend more than $50, opt for an outfit, a special blanket or a baby grooming kit, complete with clippers, diaper ointments and shampoo. 10. Stay away from equipment that's on sale, unless you know the parents want a particular item. There might be a reason it is on sale. 11. Give the baby a savings bond as a big gesture. Tips: When the sex of the baby is unknown, opt for gender-neutral colors such as yellow, white and green. Crib quilts are personal, so ask if there is a planned pattern, or make one for a unique gift. Forgo the thoughtful, yet unnecessary gift for Mom. Although it's a nice gesture, she will probably be embarrassed by the attention - after all, the shower is for the baby. Tips from eHow Users: Don't take a chance on the sex! by Anthony N. Even parents who think they know their babies sex from an ultrasound can't be 100% sure. So, don't presume and buy pink frilly dresses or overalls with trains. Rate this tip: Help the parents with diaper changes... by Annette S. Diapers are a necessity that parents will appreciate from the time their little bundle comes home from the hospital til the child is ready to begin potty training. Ask guests to bring a bag of diapers (newborn and older because babies grow rapidly). The parents will be appreciate this gesture because diapers can get expensive and they are used in bulk Warning: be aware of mom's allergies that may be evident with baby. Ask mom whether To be on the safe side, buy hypoallergenic, alcohol, perfume & dye free diapers and wipes.

gifts for women. At
My Word's Worth - choosing gifts for women My Word's Worth: a weekly column by Marylaine Block vol. 3 #21, November 21, 1997 ADVICE FOR DESPERATE MEN The XTC song "The World's Full of Angry Young Men" is running through my head, but the words attached to the music are "The mall's full of desperate men." As it gets closer to Christmas, the population of the mall starts changing. Early on women and teenagers predominate, but over time, there are more and more lost-looking men with that deer-caught-in-the-headlights inward-looking stare--the natural prey of eager shopkeepers who know they can sell these men absolutely anything. The problem is, of course, that when the world's tasks got divvied up by genders, women got to be the gift-givers. By and large this works out quite nicely -- at least until men need to find gifts for women. At this point, many of you are utterly clueless. You sense that whatever you give is freighted with symbolic meaning, but you have no idea what that meaning IS. You strongly suspect this is one of those little tests women put men through that you can't possibly win -- give us nothing at all, and be forever written off as insensitive dolts, or give us the wrong things and be forever written off as insensitive dolts. But we're not actually all THAT hard to please. Here are a few hints. Part of the symbolic value is that you remembered at all. So even if you screw up and select something fairly hopeless (crotchless panties are generally a mistake), we WILL give you credit for trying. After all, we have years of practice thanking little boys who give us footballs for our birthdays -- we understand that he thinks this is the finest gift anyone could ever receive. The malls are trying to sell you stuff for generic females, jewelry and perfume and nice-smelling expensive soaps and moisturizers and such, but she is NOT generic. She is a specific person with specific tastes that, yes, you should have noticed by now (and if you haven't, start looking at her closely). Don't buy earrings for her if you can't remember seeing her wearing earrings. If she does, does she like discreet little buttons, or splashy dangling ones? Show her that you pay attention to her unique interests and preferences. For example, my only real concession to feminine stuff is pretty scarves, fastened with a cat pin; anyone who gave me either a scarf or a cat pin would know that the gift will be appreciated on two levels: I'll wear it and enjoy it, and I'll be pleased that you paid attention to what I like. A gift should also indicate that you pay attention to what she says, or cares about. If she's a save-the-whales sort of person, a little gold whale charm on a chain would be a delightful present. If she couldn't stop looking at the Degas ballerina in the art museum, check out the art museum gift shop for an inexpensive print, or even Degas notecards. Did she cry her way through The Little Mermaid ? You could get her a video of it. Is she never quite warm enough? How about a pretty crocheted shawl to drape around her shoulders? Does she adore Andrew Lloyd Webber? There must be a production of his playing somewhere that you can take her to. A gift doesn't need to be expensive if it conveys the basic message, "I know who you are and I love that in you." Avoid vacuum cleaners and toaster-ovens and sewing machines, no matter how much she may actually need one. What we want is permission to stop being efficient and hardworking for a while and simply feel treasured. (Even the most competent women want to feel protected and taken care of by their menfolk.) If you're a man who understands what clothes look good on her, and you know what size she wears, you can buy her a great outfit. The implied message is "You're a damn good-looking woman, and I love to see you looking well-turned out." Of course, if, like my son, you think an orange shirt with red shorts is a nifty combination, you should avoid this route. One of the nicest gifts is your time. Arrange for someone else to take care of the kids, and take her off somewhere where you can pay uninterrupted attention to her, and she to you. There aren't enough hours in the day for us to do our work, take care of the kids, take care of our own needs, and still keep a relationship fresh. Give her time off from responsibilities and routine, and use the time to renew the romance. And whatever else you give her, add the gift of words. Tell her why you chose it specially for her. You wouldn't believe what a sucker we are for words like "This was so elegant it made me think of you," or "It reminded me of the music we danced to on our first date." If you could live your life again and you'd still fall in love with her, tell her that. Better yet, tell her that in writing. There's a reason we keep old love letters and mementos -- it's so we can read them over and over again when times are tough, and we're not getting through to each other, and we're trying to remember why it was we wanted the relationship to keep going. So go ahead, guys. Venture out into the cold and brave the alien territory of the shopping malls and exquisite little boutiques. All you have to do is remember who she is and what you love about her and what she cares about (besides you). Remember: Earth girls are easy. You get points for trying. And with these helpful hints in mind, you might pass the test this time around. Heck, you might even get an A.
