My dad's not really into that stuff except probably coffee (it gets him through the day lol).

My dad would either like the cologne or the magazine subscription

None of these work for my dad! He is he kind that never buys for himself, but he has tons and tons of unopened cologne sitting in his bathroom that he never uses!

My friends and I are having a gift exchange. I need to think of things to get them. One of my friends loves everything and anything Titanic, but already has the movie. My second friend likes to read and is an artist. My third friend likes to do science experiments and read. My fourth friend likes quirky gifts.

 

Hey girl,

 

Just because your friend loves the Titanic movie doesn't mean you have to get her something related to it -- would she like a traditional gift, like lipgloss or jewelry? If your second and third friends love reading, why not get them books? And if your last friend is quirky, try something fun like feather earrings or another unique accessory. Good luck!

I need some gift ideas for my sister, I have no idea what to get her. She doesn't like typical "sister" gifts like nail polish, make up, jewelry, etc. and I think it would be too hard to try and pick clothes for her. She generally likes things that are a little unusual (last year's fave present was a snuggie) and although she likes reading, her interests in reading are all over the place. And she's 14. Any ideas?

 

Hey girl,

 

The great thing about buying gifts for sibs is that you can ask your parents for ideas! They know your sis better than anyone, so they'll be able to help you out. It's okay to ask her to drop a hint, too!
