MathGirl Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have looked at a few magazines and their Gift Guides and I have't seen much that I would buy for a gift. I was thinking that we can come up with a better Guide to Gifts than the magazines do. So we should share our favorite gift ideas. They can be in any dollar amount, but lets try to keep it affordable. And we should list where to find the item (if you know) and the amount of the gift. I'll start...

MathGirl Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 For anyone who experiences stress now and then. Orgins Peace of Mind On-the-Spot Relief$10.00 can find at many Department stores like Macys and even some Targets. Or order online from www.origins.com and get FREE standard shipping on any order until December 12. I use this if I get a headache or I'm just having a frustrating day. It's even nice if I'm getting a little stressed about a big test at school. When the world closes in on you and your head feels a size too small, apply just two dabs of Origins mind-clearing formula on the back of your neck, temples and earlobes. You'll feel a tingling sensation as pressure, tension and tightness begin to melt away. HOW TO USE: Place three small dabs on fingertips. Take a deep breath to experience Peace of Mind®'s stress relieving aromas. Massage into the back of neck, earlobes, and temples (closer to the hairline than to eyes.) http://www.origins.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY5786&PRODUCT_ID=PROD54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpeter05 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have a great gift idea to share with everyone. I know we all have a few loved ones that are hard to shop for. If any of your loved ones enjoy gambling or like to go to the casino then this is a great gift. It is an instructional video on how to consistently win at craps and roulette. This is a good gift because it specializes in a hobby they enjoy, and they can also make some serious cash off of this method. If you or anyone you know may be interested in this gift please search for "Take the Gamble Out of Betting" videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
