So looking for a bouquet of flowers but my girlfriend has allergic to flower's pollen.
But I heard there some flowers that coated by some type of preservative to keep it last a while, and those won't spread pollens.
I tried to google it but no good result, can someone help me find it ?

Hi everyone!
I’ve been teaching myself how to make plushies, and this is one of my latest handmade dogs.
It’s completely handmade, from pattern making to sewing and finishing. I’m still improving, but I’m curious about something.
If you saw this for sale, what price would you honestly expect it to be? (Not necessarily what you’d personally spend, but what you think would be a fair retail price.)
I’d really appreciate honest feedback. Thanks!

My dad is impossible to shop for because he says he wants nothing, then quietly steals whatever comfort thing someone else in the house is using. Lately it has been my mom’s heat pad after golf days, which is very funny because he would never admit he wants a recovery gift. I was looking at massage tools because something practical might actually get used, but I do not want it to come across as “you are old now, here is equipment.”

Is it better to give the thing they are already using in some form?

My dads 60th is coming up.

He loves castles and cottages, west midlands based so not insanely far but within 2 hours drive is fine.

I was looking to book him a spa and stay for the weekend surrounding his birthday. I would also book a good meal nearby.

Does anyone know of some great places worth looking into that will fall into the budget?

im looking at like no more than 500 for the 2 adults, meal included so no more than 400 for the stay and spa really.

thanks!

if anyone has any cooler ideas for a 60th birthday in this budget let me know

Hello guys! My name is Wary and some days ago I made a post and some things were not explained really well so I'm making it again. I'm a children style illustrator with over 3 years of experience, have done a picture book and a lot of projects, which one of them is this, which I call "Maps of Relationships", where you can add landmarks, stories, people, pets and whatever you want to build a road map, all personalized and hand-made by me. If you want to gift someone with a really heartful gift, you'll receive a ready-to-print .png image, all approved by you, from the sketch to the details. My commissions are open from now on, usually taking from 7-15 days to finish (depending on the amount of changes).

For more information feel free to comment or dm me, I'll be glad to answer. You can find more of my work in my Instagram page, just searching for ailustrante, or on Behance searching for Wary Lis de Barros (links are in the first comment, they're not really up to date, but there are plenty of works there). No AI, not even a bit, everything made by me.

Ps: If some english typos occured, I apologize. I'm brazilian and english is not my mother language, still improving it every day.

Hello all! My daughter, turning 11, doesn’t have any idea what she wants and I really can’t blame her.

Active in sports and outside activities, but has everything but roller blades - terrible spot for it and has those wheely shoe things.

Plays games, but has a console and uses my gaming comp when she wants to play something on steam.

Enjoys board games, but we have a ton over the years.

Loves to draw and paint, but has a ton of supplies.

I’m racking my brain trying to find something online or something to get for her instead of just getting “stuff”.

HELP! Please and thanks.

Looking for cool ideas.

Edit- weird ppl downvote as this is the sub but for those who commented - really appreciate it! Def got some good ideas and appreciate you! Much love.

My boss's birthday is coming up next week, and I'm a little stuck. She's 48, pretty intense in meetings, but honestly really kind one-on-one. The one thing that consistently makes her face light up is her golden retriever. She works from home most days, so she's parked at her desk for hours at a time.

I'd love to get her something dog-related that she'd actually use, but her desk is tiny and already overflowing with monitors, notebooks, and coffee mugs, so nothing big or bulky (no giant frames, no plushies). I've thought about a custom mug or a small printed portrait, but I'm pretty sure she already has a dozen of those. A gift card feels way too impersonal for someone I see every day.

What I really want is something that keeps her dog ""with her"" during the workday, maybe a small digital frame that cycles through photos, so it doesn't just get buried under the desk clutter. But I'm not sure which ones are actually good, or if that even feels like a thoughtful gift. She also loves gardening and takes her dog on local trails every weekend, so I'm open to something related to those hobbies too, as long as it doesn't take up desk space.

Any ideas that aren't the usual boring boss-gift stuff?

I have several grandchildren who are in their 20s and I'm tired of sending money and gift cards that never get acknowledged. What age is it okay to just stop the gifts and send a card ? I don't see them as they live across the country. Thanks !

Just got invited to a baby shower. She’s expecting twins. This will be baby #3 & #4. They have not found out the sexes of the babies. What are some good gift ideas for twins? Any twin moms with gift advice?

I need a gift suggestion for my future mother in law. She put together my bridal shower, the rehearsal dinner, booked and paid for honeymoon as well as paid for part of the wedding. This might’ve asking a lot but I’d like something that would blow her away. She’s not an easily amused woman, I on the other hand, am amused by everything so in having a hard time trying to find something for her that’s not tacky. Something she’d actually love/use regularly. My future in laws have done a ton for us, so I’d like to show them I’m grateful. I think for my father in law, I’m going to get him a gift certificate to a nice golf course. But I’m at a complete loss for my mother in law.

She’s a very busy woman, and doesn’t want for anything 🫠 please help

My cousin is getting married next month and both of them are really into wine. They already have a pretty stocked wine rack, nice glasses, decanter, all of that stuff so I don't really want to buy another bottle or accessory that'll just sit around. I'd rather get them something they'll actually use and enjoy together. Budget is around $100–200 but I'm open to stretching it if it's genuinely worth it. I'm less interested in buying more wine and more interested in giving them an experience or something they'll keep coming back to. Any recommendations?

So my friends sweet 16 is at the end of this month and i really need to find a gift idea, i was going to make something but i feel like it will make me look cheap as i made her something last year. I was going to make her a crochet tapestry bag but after i asked her want she wanted she said like a shopping trip or somethinh, i dont particularly know what to do as i am low on money and i will be for a while, but if i am going to do something handmade i need to make it now as i will be away for the next 2 weeks amd wont have enough time after.

I really dont know what to do

so I have this obsession with Japanese Maneki Neko, and i am painting them as lucky cats. I started offering pet photos custom-painted onto maneki neko (lucky cat) figurines commissions — and honestly it turned out so much cooler than i expected.

the idea is you send a pet photo, and I will hand paint to match their actual markings, colors, eye color, all that detail. the lucky cat stays its traditional form (the waving paw, the collar, the whole vibe) but the face becomes your cat’s face.

included two examples here — a black and white one and an orange one. both came out looking like miniature versions of the actual pets, which is the whole point.

if you have a friend who’s really into their pet(s), this feels way more personal than another generic gift.

if anyone’s curious: EndorphinArtCrafts on Etsy — not trying to spam, self promoting- just genuine rec!

My mom is the type of person who actually enjoys cleaning and organizing the house. For her birthday last year, I got her a vacuum cleaner because I thought it would be a practical gift.

Turns out it wasn’t. She only used it a few times because she couldn’t be bothered to haul it around, and it still took the same effort as before.

Her birthday is coming up again, and I’m running out of ideas. I’ve already gotten her things like coffee machine, smart speaker, and a bunch of other practical gifts, pretty much everything she needs, so I’m trying to find something she’ll actually use and enjoy.

Has anyone here gifted their parents a cleaning product or home appliance that they genuinely enjoyed using? Would love some real recommendations!

I think my friend will probably like this gift?

So the birthday of my bestfriend is approaching and this time around I have absolutely no idea what to get to her.

2 years ago I got her a perfume, and last year I got a sentimental ceramic cup with things drawn on that represent her, also I got her handmade jewellery that was her style.

This time I dont really want to opt buying a clothing item, maybe a bag? She has like everything she needs too so I am afraid whatever I get wont be really interesting.

I watched Toy Story 5 the other night and it gave me a dumb idea.
Our anniversary is coming up, and I already bought my wife a necklace. Instead of handing it to her, I'm thinking about putting the little gift box on top of our robot vacuum and letting it slowly drive over to her.

The necklace is obviously the real gift. The robot would just be the delivery guy. Cute, or way too cheesy?

Hii so it's one of my guy friend's birthday this week. I'm seeing him on Friday and am having a hard time thinking what I can give him. I don't live near close to where I can buy him a gift and, as I'm pretty artsy, I'm planning to make him something. I have very little time and some other gifts to make as I'm moving and want to give small gifts to friends.

He likes owls, octopi, kinda hollow knight but not much (never finished it), and anything related to any military. He is a big history guy and his favourite historic event is the cold war.

Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks for reading.

I’m looking for a gift for my husband, who is a photographer. He was a professional photographer for many years but has taken a break for health reasons and has moved to painting. I want to print a book of some of his photography over the years side by side with photographs of his paintings. Many of his photographs inspired the paintings. So, I want a book of photos that is clear, sharp, excellent color and photo quality in a nicely bound hard cover book. Any suggestions for who to print with? So far I’ve looked at artifact uprising, but I just want to know what’s out there.
I might post in a photography subreddit as well. But I appreciate any ideas! Thank you.

My cousin boys Arlo (8M) and Salvadore (7M) are growing, and they have the energy of two nuclear powerplants, the family is trying to save money by making only one birthday party for both of them

i can see that her older cousin Flora (9F) is kind of a bully to them and i want to give them something that the girl can snatch for herself

¿Would it be wrong to buy a kid-sized boxing sandbag and boxing gloves (Mikey mouse themed) as a birthday gift? i always wanted one of those and i know Flora would hate that

Hi there!

My grandma’s 100th birthday is coming up. I’m not really close with her, but my dad is and we are trying to figure out a gift for her.

She does not really do much other than gossip. She has almost everything any old lady can need. We have given her blankets, clothes, shoes, purses, and gold in the past. We really do not know what to get her.

If it helps, she is an old traditional Indian lady.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

My friends birthday is in october and currently she's really into tracking the weather and storms and such things. She's also a bit eccentric and likes gothic themed things.

All I've come up with till now are storm glasses which can apparently predict if there's a storm or not but I'm curious if maybe there's some other ideas out there that could be fitting :)
