Gift for a friend.....need suggestions please
Comments (2)Souvenir de la Malmaison would be my first choice since it's beautiful, fragrant and a great rebloomer. It forms a handsome bush which for me has been almost disease-free and has tolerated a lot of heat here. Will you be ordering from the Antique Rose Emporium? They have the largest own-root roses (as they claim) and should give the best results. The five I ordered from them recently are all doing very well. Ingrid...See More(Houseboat) Hostess Gift . . .

Comments (16)I like the idea of the books for the GKs. I love to give the gift of books, and am known for either books or B&N GC for all occasion gifts. lol We purchased books for my nephew about sharks and some other animal (can't remember which animal the other was) that had small scale see-through 3D model of the featured animal in the book. When you turned the pages, it pictured different significant organs, etc. and cool facts about why each animal had differing skin and the like, as well as a child's level explanation of the part each animal played in the wild. Very cool books, but I cannot for the life of me remember where I found them. I am thinking it was NOT a book store, but someplace like Sam's club. My nephew loved those books and found taking the model apart and learning about marine life. My FIL has always had a boat (yacht), and we've spent loads of time seeing many out of the way places. At times it is hard to keep kids of a certain age occupied while at sea. These books were unlike anything I've ever seen and I spend alot of time in book stores. Any event, your post about the kids made me think about these books I found for my young nephew, but it has been at least 5 years now. I've done a google search and have come up empty. They make a great gift for children who are interested in animals. If I can find the name of the books or publisher, I will post since they would make great gifts for any child....See MoreNeed gift ideas for this Person
Comments (23)I have three of these brothers. Christmas is always a fun time. (Not.) Does he have Netflix or Hulu Plus? You can give him several months of streaming video, if he likes to watch TV. A "luxury" brand of something he uses often? Like gourmet coffee or chocolate or nachos? If he has a favorite movie or TV show, something related to that? I knitted one brother a Doctor Who scarf last year and he loved it. Even though he's not into gadgets, what about one of those emergency radios? The ones with a flashlight and charging port, that run on batteries but can also be hand-cranked. Nearly everyone has power outages at some point, and needs some emergency gear. Two places I've found good gifts for my brothers: Restoration Hardware and ThinkGeek. Check out RH's gift section--look at the stocking stuffers. There are a lot of ideas there. ThinkGeek does have a lot of techy stuff, but there's some useful home gadgets there as well. In addition to a cat hammock that my cats just love. (Would he like a gift for the cats?) It's a good place for outside-the-box gifts. Granted, he is probably not going to want the Zombie Apocalypse Garden Gnomes, but they have a lot of iPhone and iPad accessories, desk/office stuff, and a lot of things related to coffee and bacon, which a lot of guys seem to like....See MoreI need a gift idea, too!
Comments (10)Did you see my thread a couple of weeks ago about the two vintage Porsche ads I bought and framed? That might be an idea for you if you can think of one of his special interests (his car?) and have enough time to do it. (I bought the ads on eBay.) Are they camping in an RV? Maybe books on the subject? A pair of binoculars?...See Morejoaniepoanie
