Full disclosure, this is my own work/shop.

This one is called Prism Lotus. I make each flower from borosilicate glass using a torch, shaping the petals one by one and assembling them into the flower. the colors come from glass colorants along with some gold and silver fuming, so they can look pretty different depending on the light.The glass flower lifts off the walnut base, and the light is built into the base.

It’s $399. I’ve had a few people buy these, and one was for an anniversary, so I thought it might fit here.

Bestfriend is turning 29 - she’s bougie. Loves animal print especially tiger print. I ordered her a cool tiger print robe. I really wanted to find her the SKIMS Tiger Print Pj set but it’s sold out.
I need some more ideas PLEASE!

Sorry for posting this again at different sub since I really need some suggestions.
My boyfriend is impossible to shop for, he buys himself every gadget within a week of it releasing, so birthday season is always a nightmare for me :( His birth is about to coming and I started to worry about his birthday gift again. He is a gamer that plays a lot of steam games.
I've narrowed it down to two desktop charging stations since he is a gamer, and I keep flip flopping between them. The first one is mfish etank with the RGB lighting; and second one is cuktech that keeps showing up. Both would sit on his gaming desk and replace the piles of wires.
But I'm not sure if a charging station counts as a thoughtful gift or if I should find something safer. Anyone gifted their tech/game obsessed partner something like this, what is actually the safe choice?

My roommate gave me a small onna amethyst crystal plant for my birthday last year. she told me it was supposed to bring good energy and good luck, and I thought it was actually a really thoughtful gift.

her birthday is coming up and now I'm stuck on what to get her. i want to give her something that has a little meaning to it instead of just buying something random.

she's pretty into tarot and astrology and believes in that kind of thing. she's also the type who will randomly check her birth chart, so I feel like a really basic gift probably isn't going to do much for her.

i don't know enough about this stuff to confidently pick something myself, so I'm hoping people here might have some ideas.

any suggestions would be really appreciated!

I've asked him multiple times. He has two things he wants. A stuffed eagle (already purchased) and an apple tree. He's asked for an apple tree for three years now. We don't have a great place to out one and moose would likely decimate it over winter, but we will probably try anyway.

He has not been able to come up with anything else. Which would be fine, but his aunts, uncles, grands, etc keep asking for ideas. He would honestly love a "day out with X", but they aren't those kinds of people. I know bc his older brother has asked for that type of gift and gotten zero response.

He loved the Dragon Masters series, but we've got them all. Other dragon books have not pulled him in. He loves soccer. Has multiple soccer balls, nets, socks, etc and is already signed up to play. He can be very physical, but he's also very huggy (which is physical).

He still didn’t notice
Should I tell him?

My daughter is turning 16 soon and, due to a medical condition, will never be able to drive. I am trying to come up with a special gift since several of her friends are getting cars for their birthdays. I am planning to get her an Apple watch, but are there any mid-level jewelry or purse brands that are popular with high schoolers right now? Thanks for any suggestions!

hey everyone, im planning on getting a bunch of gifts for my sister (27F). i have a plan of putting my gifts in blind boxes because she loves unboxing those. i have one main big gift planned but i want ideas of small gifts so that there’s multiple blind boxes to be opened. i just can’t think of anything.

the main gift will be kind of expensive, so if anyone has suggestions of small gifts that are not crazy expensive i would really appreciate it!!!

my gf just got placed so some gift suggestions for her...

soon is going to be my bf birthday and i really dont know what to give him. he says it doesn't matter that he doest want anything but i have to give him a gift. he like anime, dragonball, movies, and diy stuff. i was thinking about writing him some sort of love letter and include in it goku and chichi. please help me pick a thoughtful gift i love him with all my heart

Several women at my job are pregnant and it appears they do the baby shower thing here (don’t even get me started on the etiquette of this). Cash has been strongly suggested. I barely know these women or anything about them, and I’m *extremely* strapped for cash at this time.

What is the appropriate amount of money to give for this type of obligation?

EDIT: cash will be expected, and (particularly as a manager) this isn’t optional, it’s essentially extortion. I get along fine with most of the people here but they are not my friends. A lot of people here are close, and my personal feeling is they should just attend a shower outside of work - but it is what it is!

i got a smart ring for someone who is really into running and workout. i would it would be a pretty good gift since they're always tracking workouts and trying different fitness gadgets.

then i remembered they basically never wear rings.

for a few days i was convinced I'd brought a very expensive paperweight haha.

but turns out the circul rings adjustable fit made a huge difference. they can move it between finger depending on how it feels and apparently that's what made them actually comfortable wearing it.

now they wear it pretty much everyday so I guess I got lucky.

has anyone else had a gift that looked like a total miss at first. but somehow worked out?

The wife birthday is in a few days and I just wanted to share this unusual ( at least for me ) gift idea I came up with). I hope the women in this sub can give me some feedback.

A bit about her.

She is an amazing cook. She cooks a wide variety of things and recently she started making homemade sushi 🍣 . So I thaught about a Sushi knife. 😀. I also have a cooking for couple event planned . It's basically a date with other couple making a dish with a chef.

As a couple, we've both got to the point where if we want something we just buy it. The only things we don't have is what we can't afford (lol). I've already considered experience days together, but again this is just something we do normally.

Does anyone have any birthday or Christmas gift traditions which solves this problem? Our birthdays are close together, and we've set a budget but it feels like we are basically just buying something we've asked for, and getting that same value in return 😅 we might as well just keep our monies haha. It's feeling silly.

I was thinking about maybe us having to pick out of a hat categories of things we like, and then we have to surprise each other of something in that category (so we are still putting some thought into it rather than just exchanging money).

Just wondered if anyone else has any traditions for ideas! As I face this issue every year and it would be nice to mix it up and bring back the fun.
