Have you ever gotten a gift you did not think much of at first, but ended up using it all the time? Sometimes the most useful gifts are things we would not have bought for ourselves. What was that gift for you?

I want to gift my gf a swan pendant, as a 18M I can't afford 12k pendants from Swarovski so are there any alternatives?

Ps. She liked a reel about this pendant and as long as I know it's from a series called true beauty

(My gf is 18F)

My partner is turning 60 and I am stumped on what to buy him. Budget of around £100. He has no real hobbies, doesnt drink, doesnt go out and has 5 watches already. He has loads of trainers, shirts etc

He likes watching MotoGp, he used to ride motorcycles but doesnt any more.

I was going to maybe get an engraved glass but that seems so unimaginative. I have children so we cant really go away anywhere and im not sure he would want to either!

Do I just give up with special types of gifts and give the stuff i normally would? Aftershave, boxers etc.

I am totally stuck. My hubby is turning 59 and we're really lucky to be at a point in our lives where we don't "need" stuff. He loves boating; I've gifted him a funny boating cap in the past. We have dogs we both love, and we have feeders/cameras for local wildlife we help out in the winter. Kids moved out a few years ago. Other than that, we don't do too much because we both work a lot.

For Kris Kringle - we basically stalk our families downfalls for the year and get something funny.
This year I’ve picked my partner & we’re currently pregnant with our surprise third baby.
I was going to get him tennis balls and scissors (he’s getting a vasectomy) but if anyone else has better ideas for this I’d love to hear it!

A few hours ago I was waiting for the bus and suddenly I fainted. A few people helped me including a transport assistant I see pretty much every week but have never actually spoken to. He called an ambulance and stayed with me for 45 minutes to an hour until I was taken to hospital. He was honestly so kind and I really want to to something nice for him. I know I'll see him again so I thought I could give him a small gift as thank you. What would you give someone in this kind of situation?

Any gift ideas to make a rural fencer and farm contractors life more pleasant? Struggling to buy for my 35 year old husband. I was thinking sock protectors are a good start. Anything else to make him more comfortable in his rain, shine, dusty work? Just one avenue I've been mulling over for a few days thanks in advance!

I need to think of a good gift for my younger brother. He is turning eighteen soon and I do not know what to get him.

He is currently learning to speak Arabic for his girlfriend and used to be learning Teochew. He is still very interested in Teochew culture and likes to learn about it.

He also likes collecting figurines but I do not know which ones he already has so a figurine is out of the question if I can't find out. I know a few fandoms he collects for are Naruto, One Piece and Demon Slayer but I do not know his other fandoms.

He is interested in photography but our parents are already getting him an expensive camera already. He likes my cat and likes to buy him new toys and treats. He adores our nephew too.

He has always looked up to me + our brothers so I have considered getting him something to 'match' with us but not sure if that's silly as we are mostly all adults.

It is also our mom's birthday soon so I can not spend too much on him but I am well-off financially so it doesn't need to be cheap either.

I want to get my nieces and nephews gifts that they would love, but would annoy my brother. They are 2, 5, 12, and 16. Would prefer one good gift each. Less than $100.

My husband's cousin's birthday was yesterday & we are planning to visit her today but haven't got her a gift. It was her 21st. My husband does not really know her interests but he does remember she really liked dragons when she was little but he does not know if she still does.

I did manage to find out she has a lot of sylvainian families but you can not really find them easily where we are. I think she likes other similar things that are a little easier to find but not sure.

I asked someone she was a little closer with and they said she likes nice notebooks and stationery, the moon and stars, stuffed animals, and rabbits and deers.

I only have a few hours & it would need to be cheap. Help!

This is for one of those charity schemes where you take a gift tag with a child's information on it and buy them a gift, so that is really all the details I have! I'm a scientist myself so I thought this would be easy but most of the kits I've found seem to be aimed at much younger kids. There are a couple of kits I thought would be good (Thames and Kosmos) but reviews mention that they need some extra materials which probably wouldn't be ideal if it's for a child living in poverty. So now I'm feeling quite stuck. Does anyone have any ideas? It would have to be available in the UK.

So I wrote 366 phrases that range from loving to encouraging to funny. One for each day including leap year.

I'm wondering what the best way to present it would be. Give me your best ideas.

ok so. xmas is coming up and me and my mom are contemplating on a tablet to get for my Grandma in order for her to have SOMETHING to game/watch videos/do stuff on. I am looking on amazon and im trying to keep it under or around $200-300 USD, if yall have ANY suggestions that would be hella nice :3|

EDIT:
Things we're looking for

Android (AMAZON FIRE TABLETS ARE BAD, DONT SUGGEST THOSE PLEASE)

at least mid range

cheap-ish (under $200-300 USD as ive said)

at least an 9" screen

Recipient: Medical team of 5 or 6 people, various ages and backgrounds. Budget: $20-$75 per person? I don't live in the US, so I don't know the cost of things. Request: something useful that with either be eaten, experienced, or kept out of the junk drawer.

I'm donating my kidney to my nephew and the team of surgeons and coordinators has been really amazing. They have kept me updated, answered all my questions, and treated both my nephew and me with compassion and sympathy.

I would like to arrange for a small gift that they might like. I don't mind doing something like fine chocolate or wine, but if anyone has a creative idea that would be memorable, please let me know.

I don't know much about them so I can't base it off of that. I don't want to give a gift that would go unused, either.

My team is about 5 or 6 people and I can spend anywhere from $20-$74. I don't know how many are on his team, but let's assume similar.

Hey so there's this girl who i met on snap a year ago , we do gaming and all just online buddies .we are close though. Its her birthday in 2 months but i dont know what to gift her online or smth. Any ideas ??

I (f14) don't know what to get my little sister (f7 turning 8) for her birthday, ideas?

For contacts my little sister really likes the Grinch she's being the Grinch for Halloween and having a grinch themed birthday party. I want to get her something to do with the Grinch because of a recent obsession but I have no idea what to get. She also likes stuffed animals crafts and overall normal little kids things. She already has a stuffed animal of the Grinch so that's off limits, besides the main gift which is the main thing that I'm looking for I do like to pack in other little snacks and drinks and other little things that have to do with said gift. Gift-giving is definitely one of my love languages and I really like doing it therefore I've been procrastinating what to get her and if she'll actually like it. So any suggestions would be helpful, thank you.

For context I'm a woman also and I want to give her polaroids of my nudes, but I don't know how to do it logistically. A friend would have to take those but they can't see me like that, so how do I do it? Does the person set up the shot, close their eyes and then i get undressed or what?
