Hello everyone! My boyfriend (22M) is graduating from college in December. I haven’t graduated yet so I need a working professional’s help!! I want to get him something he can use at work, perhaps a nice laptop bag or something like that to carry his things. Does anyone have recommendations for things that a new young professional will need for work?! He’s very practical and loves being organized. Any ideas? TYIA! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e199hd/a_gift_for_a_recent_graduate/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #A gift for a recent graduate
#gifts - #Let them decide!
I was thinking about what to give the women I am dating and I figured it out, a framed print explaining the various teas. Then I go to Etsy and I find 100's of such prints. How would I ever be able to decide? Despite knowing her style, there are still so many options. So I am thinking I will gather up the best prints (IMO), present them, and have her decide on the print and the frame then I will make it happen. What do you all think? Not instant gratification, but she will get something she should really like and fit her (and we get to spend time together finding the right combo!). via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e18wms/let_them_decide/?utm_source=ifttt
#gifts - #Looking for a Christmas gift for my brother.
My brother is the hardest person in my life to shop for. He has down syndrome, which is important for context since he's very routine oriented, so getting him anything new can throw that off. Often he just won't use new things. For example, Christmas 2-3 years ago, he specifically asked for a new phone case. I got him one and he has not used it to this day.He really only has a couple things he enjoys, which are listening to music and food. Both of those are tricky though.He's been listening to the same dozen CDs since he was about 12 (he's 21 now), and has been using the same CD player as well, despite being gifted plenty of new CDs and options for playing (including an IPod, back when those were big, that he literally never used).He is enthusiastic about food, and enjoys eating, but really struggles with his weight, so as a family we try and avoid giving him food as gifts. Food themed items are okay, but nothing that he can actually eat.The gift I got him last year was a backpack with a pepperoni pizza print, and he actually uses it so that's a fantastic success. It was complete luck that I came across that though, and I have absolutely no ideas of what to get him this year.I would love any feedback about food or music themed items, or suggestions that tie those in. Basically I'm open to any ideas because I have absolutely none of my own. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e17m3o/looking_for_a_christmas_gift_for_my_brother/?utm_source=ifttt
#gifts - #Looking for help to develop a gift idea for my brother who can't give gifts
My brother and his girlfriend are in deep financial problems and they announced that they will not be able to afford any gifts this year. I responded by saying that Christmas is not about spending money but rather the getting together with the family and doing something nice for each other. I asked him if he wanted to draw/craft/do something creative instead that would not cost him anything but effort. But he always sidesteps this idea by saying his 'head is not in the right place'. He has been dealing with depression for some time now and I understand that it is hard for him but I don't think this has anything to do this. To avoid going into a psychological rant as to why he might think this way, I will just continue with my idea.So since he won't be giving anything (which he does feel bad about), I thought my gift for him could be something that allows him to give something back to the rest of the family. I think that would be a great way to invite him to join the gifting-evening and to make him feel better about himself and his situation. Now, I don't have yet have a realization of this idea, so if anyone has any idea as to how to approach this, I would love to get your suggestions.Thanks! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e162yt/looking_for_help_to_develop_a_gift_idea_for_my/?utm_source=ifttt
#gifts - #Need gift ideas for boss
Generally, a group of us go together and each put in $25-30 to get her a gift in the $100-150 range.She is 70 years old and has no kids or pets. She doesn't cook, travel, read, or have any hobbies. She's the owner of the company and work is her life. She doesn't enjoy shopping or pampering (so no gift certificates for stores, facials, etc.). She has plenty of money, so there's nothing she really needs.She likes electronic gadgets. She wants to be better organized and has tried all sorts of methods/apps to accomplish this. She follows various health and fitness crazes.Things we have given her in the past:-Photo album with company events from the previous year -Company logo shirts -Purse and pen -Tree for her office -Bracelet from her university via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e13og3/need_gift_ideas_for_boss/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #He’s given me so many gifts and I’m at a complete loss for what to get him
Christmas is coming up, but in the past few months my partner (20M) of 4 years has already given me so many thoughtful and expensive gifts without hesitation and for no reason. It’s definitely his love language.That being said, I’m completely lost in terms of what to get him for Christmas. He loves video games, mechs, cars, knives, big fluffy dogs, and we have a habit of collecting cute, big stuffed animals. In the past, we’ve gotten each other a ton of these specific stuffed animals but I’m not sure if that’s the way to go again. Any ideas are appreciated. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e13fz8/hes_given_me_so_many_gifts_and_im_at_a_complete/?utm_source=ifttt

My husband is always ripping holes into the crotch of his pants! Every year I buy him a new pair of Levi’s and this year all of them now have holes. He works in construction so there’s a lot of squatting; I imagine this the problem.

Looking for a keychain or bottle opener or t-shirt or just some kind of gimmicky thing that's themed around Luigi being the better brother.

#gifts - #Wood working gift for grandpa?
So when I was a little kid some of my fondest memories were visiting my grandpa and working on wood projects with him. I made a race car with him for a wood project as well. Now after our grandma passed, my mom didn't got here often and now as a adult, I wonder what he's doing. Christmas is coming around the corner and I'd love to write him a letter talking about my fonder memories as well as gift him a gift of something I made myself out of wood. With that in mind, what things would be a good idea to make for him? Please post pictures if you have them of the suggestion so I can get a idea. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e0w8k1/wood_working_gift_for_grandpa/?utm_source=ifttt
