karipdx Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 What's your $$ limit?? One of the most memorable gifts I got my boyfriend was a weekend away from the city. Just one night in a cabin up on the mountain, breakfast the next day, and hiking around in the snow together before heading home. I made all the reservations before Christmas, and then decorated a card with pictures to give him an idea of where we were going....trees, snowflakes, sleds, a cabin, etc. When he gave me a puzzled look while reading the card I told him what the 'real' gift was, and he was thrilled. He still mentions it as his favorite Christmas gift. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucywench Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 how about naming a star after him? not sure of the budget you want to keep but the least expensive is the custom at $54+ S&H, deluxe $97 + S&H, Ultimate $139+ S&H they have other things on their site as well, and if you cant decide what to name the star you can buy the certificate and left him name it starting at $63.. my mom bought one years ago and it was a very touching gift she gave to her friend who had a son pass away. its different than the normal gift. Happy Holidays! for the female friend what about this..The Make A Wish Star Keepsake Box $35... This bright new star hold five stars - Dream, Peace, Hope and Love. The box itself features Swarovski® latest creations - aurora borealis crystals that give off a rainbow effect. And as always, a $5.00 donation will be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® with every box purchased. A thoughtful engraved message would make the gift complete. mom has one of these- very nice set plus youre also donating to charity at the same time.

cassie24 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 At Home Depot, the HUSKY Jumpstarter System is a really cool handy thing to have. $89 it has a jumpstarter, air compressor, work light, and a 12 volt power outlet. It has 400 watts of power so you can actually take this thing anywhere and plug smaller things into it. Laptop, cell phones. Handy for emergencies. I got my son one. Home Depot won't go right to the link so do a search for Husky Jumpstarter System. It's got great reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
