are these ok gifts for family?

I have 3 daughters ages 10,7,and 8

for my family this year (sister, grandparents, mom/stepdad, and dad/stepmom) I’m making personalized calendars using pics of my 3 girls from throughout last year and this year…

each month will have 1-3 pics on it w/stickers,buttons,flowers,rhinestones,g… stamps with a theme to go along w/each month (like hearts for Feb, snowflakes for Jan, pumpkins for october,etc).

all the supplies to make 5 calendars cost me about 250.00

do you think these will make ok gifts?

What should I give my Dad for Christmas?

For Christmas I have only all my gifts ready, I just need my dad‘s.
He doesn’t like it when we spend excessive amounts of money (thank goodness!).
He likes practical things that he can use, or he likes things that mean something to him-i.e., a photo of our family done nice, etc.
I want to give him something(s) creative. Something cool that will be practical/fun/cool/personalized to what he wants.
So what should I get him?
Thanks!
Good idea with the digital frame. However, I gave that to my mom and I don’t really feel like giving the exact same gift to him.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
i also am going for the practical items with him. so ideas for that would be good.

Gifts for daddy on fathers day. =(?

I’m having a kind of a hard time finding something for my dad for fathers day. He’s kind of nerdy, likes technology, computers and programming a lot, likes war/action movies…um… he likes running, we have an in-ground swimming pool that he’s IN LOVE with..uh… That’s all I can really think of.
I’m a horrible gift buyer. Does anyone have any suggestions? It might seem kind of easy, but I’m bad at this stuff.

Thankyou. =)
kitty: Thanks!! =)
Thanks everyone!

What can I get my dad for his 42nd birthday? (Daughter to Father gifts)?

Hey people, I need some ideas about gifts for my dad. I’m 17 and I don’t have any money of my own. I am currently looking for a job. He really deserves something special with all the BS he’s been through with my mother. I can go out and buy something if I do chores or something, but it can’t be expensive, like over $20. So, something under 20 bucks would be reasonable. Or any ideas of anything I can make him handmade, I can get really creative. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks

Ideas on gifts for my fathers 53 birthday?

I have no idea what to get my father…He has almost everything and I dont want to just get him a tie or giftcard…anyone have an idea to share?

Hi! I am spending this Christmas Eve with my boyfriend’s family. Does anybody have ideas for what to get them?

I am in college so I am working on a budget. I want the gifts to be something small and thoughtful. His family includes his dad, mom and older brother. His brother’s gf is also going to be there this year. Am I supposed to get her something? I’ve met her once when I was visiting them in NY (with my bf) and spent a night in the studio she shares with his brother. For his brother, I have no idea what to get him. My bf tells me that he’s picky and doesn’t like things that take up space so to be wary of getting him an object unless I know for sure he wants it. Is it weird to maybe get them a personalized couples ornament? I plan on getting a $15 gift certificate to a nail salon for his mom because she likes pedicures. I don’t know what to get his dad. He likes sailing, biking and photography but I have a feeling he has everything he needs for those hobbies. Thanks for the help!

Christmas present for my dad??!?

I know i’ve left it a little late, but i had planned a personalised calender but never worked as it was through the internet and is too late now.

My dad is into photography and his mac computer, he walks from time to time and also has a BMW which he adores.
I live in the UK so i can’t do all these american ideas, and i hate buying gift cards.. just feels like i havent bothered.. I’ve only got about £20 though :/

Thanks for any help

Christmas gift for parents? about $20?

My sister and I always get my parents a $50 giftcard to a restaurant for christmas, because we dont get to go out to dinner that often and its a nice treat.

We also get our parents a small present from us individually, on our own, for about $20. Just something little… for example, last year I bought them a personalized ornament that said “Mom & Dad, We Love You! 2009″

This year, it’s going to be more difficult because I cannot get to the mall (sister isn’t coming home from colelge until a day before christmas, and I can’t drive, and I dont have time to go to the mall anyway)

So I’m going to have to resort to shopping at either CVS or Walgreens :/
I’m sure I can still find something nice to give them, whether its one $20 thing or a bunch of little things. Any ideas? Thanks!

Wedding Gift for Dad and Girlfriend (future wife)?

The ceremony is going to be really small (just me and my siblings will be there) and I want to give them a special gift.

The weddings not until summer so I have awhile but I just need ideas. I was hoping it to give them something homemade, especially since we are flying out of the country for the ceremony.

Thanks in advance!

Whats an appropriate wedding gift for Dad?

My dad is getting remarried this weekend and I am unsure if a $300 gift is enough. The wedding is out of town and I need to stay overnight for two nights. I paid for my room the first night, but my dad is paying for the second night. I feel guilty that he is paying for my room on HIS wedding night, but I just cant afford it. (I didn’t ask, he just paid it) I did spend $250 on the shower and that is not including the $150 shower gift I gave. My dad is living comfortably and I feel like $300 is nothing compared to what he is spending and makes. (and technically since he is paying for my $100 room, I am really only giving a $200 gift) I live on my own, which is why I’m so broke. The guilt that he is paying for my room is really getting to me.
I agree with all answers, they were helpful and I feel better. However, where I come from, you never give a actually “gift” for the wedding. Its always money. Paying for your plate, helping with wedding expenses. The physical gift is given at the shower. THats why I was worried if $300 was enough. Most people I know whould give that to a friend. (And I know I should worry about what others give)

Dad’s 50th birthday gift?

I was hoping for some inspiration/ideas for a gift for my dad‘s 50th birthday which is gonna be on the 14.04.07. I want something that he’ll remember forever or something to keep. I’ve been down the route of the old newspapers and activities days, but he needs a medical for most of them. I am normally known for my unique ideas and great gifts that are personal for the person, but I am stuck. I did see the the personalised football books (like the one in the link below), but he supports Swindon – Yes I know, so does he, but at least he’s not a glory supporter or anything. He lives in north yorkshire so a season ticket is no good either really. I would have loved to get him one of swindon. Anyone else got any other ideas?

House sale proceeds a gift from Dad to son…taxes?

My father paid $35,000 for a house in Illinois in 1970. He will sell that house in 2010 or early 2011 for $40,000. He plans to give the $40,000 proceeds to me, his son, as a gift. What tax scenario is likely to result in the least taxes being taken out of this gift? I assume he will pay long term capital gains taxes of ?% on the $5,000 profit he earned over the purchase price of 35K….will he then be able to gift me the remaining amount of cash without paying a gift tax? Will I be expected to report this as income and pay income taxes? Is there anything else I have overlooked?
As far as him living in or renting the house….he has been allowing me to live there rent free. I do pay the property taxes and homeowners insurance, about $300 a month.
He lived there from 1970 until 2006. The house was vacant until I moved there in Summer 2009 and I live there still.

I would like advice: My daughter was born in 2001 I am the Dad, at the time I was in the Army until 2003.?

Shortly after her mom and I divorced. The whole divorce was in Nebraska court. A child visition was ordered so I could see my daughter every other weekend some holidays. I moved to Iowa on the border of Nebraska and spent several years seeing my daughter. I then found work in Yellowstone national park in Wyoming where children were not allowed to stay for long periods. I pay child support and have only been behind a couple times but always catch up. I wrote a few letters and postcards and always send gifts on holidays. I talk to my daughter on the phone every so often but it is limited because her mom is mean to me. I married an amazing Chrisitan woman who has just gradutated college and one month ago in 2011 we moved to the Oregon coast to live closer to my Dad and his wife. I have been able to visit my daughter twice at two different Christmas’ over the past many years but her mom refuses to let her come visit me… My daughter is nine, what are my rights as a dad, how can I get summer visitation enforced by law and have my daughter come visit and stay with me… The mom has custody of the my daughter right now… Can you help me on this subject?
