My sister is turning 17 in January, and she lives across the country from me. What are some gifts I can send to her...flowers, cookie bouquets, etc that I can send through the mail for delivery at her school or job? Thanks!
What are some good gifts I can send for a birthday? See details?
cookie bouquet gets my vote! they are so yummy!!!
Reply:Every birthday means your sister is getting older! So, why don’t you “immortalise” her at 16 by getting a really cool-looking portrait made of her from her best photo? Just send the photo(s) to the professional and creative artists at http://www.paintyourlife.com and they will make very unique and classical-looking portraits or paintings out of them! You can send them instructions to send the portrait directly to her – with a personalised message from you!
The same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, you can take a look at their 'stock on sale'. Visit http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c...

What can I have delivered to a hospital that isn't food, wine or flowers?!?
My grandfather is in a hospital that doesn't allow flowers, and he is too sick for food/drink gifts.
He lives in another country so I'd like to arrange something to be delivered since I can't visit in person, but I can't think of anything. I would send a car but it would take too long in the mail.

A Barber Shop Quartet to sing him a nice rousing song.
Reply:Is he expected to come out again? It's a delicate matter.
Reply:a beautiful card? a picture of you? a stuffed animal?
Reply:Send him books
Reply:Balloons or you could call a flower shop and explain to them what is going on and they will le tyou know what they have.
Sorry about your grandpa.
Reply:How about a good book to while away the boredom for him.Hope he gets well soon.
Reply:Forget about sending anything, give him a call.
Reply:The best thing you could do would be to write him a brilliant letter, he will read it over and over and treasure it and your love. Material things and his comfort are being dealt with, but your letter will lift his spirits - or could you phone him as well. You sound so caring which makes a change and he is lucky too.
Reply:Card and photoframe with a personal note. But visiting him yourself would mean more to him.
Reply:I think if your Granddad is unwell send a card (with meaning) and write a letter/note to him. It will be better than any gift because he will know you care all those miles away.
Reply:A Teddy Gram (Custom Teddy Bear delivery) or a Singing Telegram Delivery , that might cheer him up and give him a good laugh!
Reply:magazines/books
toiletries (Wet Wipes, shower gel, talc, etc)
CDs
pyjamas
photographs of family
Reply:Use a priority mail service for the card, such as AirSure - takes about 3 days from the UK to most destinations.
Reply:balloons, personalised teddy, photo album, make something for him like a painting or something and sed via a specialist courier company so it wont take long to get there
you could make a tape of his favourite music
Reply:A Vermont Teddy Bear. And I believe you can customize one, too! They are top quality teddy bears and sometimes come with other little gifts. Check out the internet as I'm sure they have a website, just type vermont teddy bear in the search engine. This way he'll have something special to look at that reminds him of you, and depends on how sick he is he can even cuddle with it! :)
Reply:I'm sure you could find a specialty store that could deliver a gift basket of nice items...maybe a book or some magazines (if he can't read for himself, some hospitals have people who volunteer to read to patients), some unscented lotion for his hands or face (hospital air can be drying to the skin). A personalized letter is nice, and some basic necessities, like toothbrush, shampoo, and the like are good because the kinds they have in hospitals are not usually really what most people would pick for themselves. If he likes music, and is able to work with current technologies (or if someone is there who can help him), a personal music player or mp3 player loaded with his type of music would be good, with headphones so he can listen without disturbing other patients.
It's nice that you're thinking of him...the best gift is to let him know that you care!
Reply:Sorry your grandfather is ill Princess.
Could you try to speak to him. You could call the hospital and tell them you live far away and they might be able to arrange for you to have a few words, to let him know you love him and are thinking of him.
God bless both of you xx.
Reply:Pictures of you %26amp; your family and lots %26amp; lots of cards. Send a parcel [shoebox] and put things like his favourite book, favourite smell and get each and every member of your family to write a note to him to tell him they hope he gets better soon. Let him know that all of you are safe but that you hope he gets better soon.
Put lots of rose petals in there, and simple things such as handkerchiefs and photos - less is more.
I hope this helps you. x

Reply:Nah it won't take long, just send the car.
Reply:What kind of hospital can you deliver wine to ? If i get ill i'm going there!
Reply:How about a portable tape recorder - with a tape with a personal message from you and some of his favourite bits of music recorded on to it.
Reply:clothes, (nice ones!)
things he might like, ie, gifts...
electronic gadgets.....
reading material..
toiletries... anything nice/useful for when you are spending time in hospital.

ooh, anything curried, definately must try the nut cakes, also lotus seed paste, red bean paste, century eggs, lotus flower, lotus root, frozen durian, salted duck eggs, maybe some mooncake although mooncake is usually eaten during the moon festival, hawfruit candies, almond roca, ginseng, bubble tea, lychees, longans, dragonfruits, jasmine tea or other tea mixes, spices especially curry and saffron and other things symbolic of both these places, preserved fruits and vegetables, honey, pomegranate things, oh oh! jujubes (red dates) and other dates! yum!, drinks, wines
Reply:Here are a couple of links for a few very delicious Iranian cookie recipes. Wrap with sheer white cloth drawn up around a little plate of cookies and tie with a silver ribbon so that the cloth fans up several inches above the ribbon. It's very pretty.

What types of flowers to send to a Chinese funeral?
My friend's father passed away recently and I want to get her family some condolence flowers. They are Chinese and quite auspicious. What type of flowers should I send? Is there another type of gift that would be more appropriate? Are certain colors of flowers inappropriate?
What types of flowers to send to a Chinese funeral?
hope this helps
Any color will do, except red. Black or dark color is more common than white. White is usually for the family only.
You can buy them some flowers, especially chrysanthnum, or other kind of flowers of yellow or white color, pink may do too, but never be red.
In some Chinese societies you're expected to give some donation (called "Bai jin", the number must be odd, never 100, make it 101, as it means that when you die, die yourself only, never die together, just avoid any even number.)
Reply:Not really sure, but chrysanthemums are usually an arrangement sent for this purpose.
Reply:White or yellow chrysanthemum. No red colours.
Reply:White flowers will do. White is the symbol of death in Buddhist culture.

What the meaning of the flowers that are given to special events or ceremonies?
I was given flowers in many event but I don't get the meaning of them,I don't know if it is because it is not in my culture but I don't understand it.They are very expensive ,I would choose to buy a gift that will last longer than flowers.Can anyone explain to me how and why it has become so meangfull to some people...
What the meaning of the flowers that are given to special events or ceremonies?
"The practice of giving fresh-cut flowers to one's beloved is a modern-day replacement for the traditional gift of fresh-killed game animals."
It's like offering part of a meal for a celebratory feast, only without the blood and guts of a fresh kill since most of us shop at the grocery for our food these days... :)

Is flowers the right gift for the newly wed on the wedding day or shud I get something more.?
I mean is it the APPROPRAITE gift.....FLOWERS. HELP...
Is flowers the right gift for the newly wed on the wedding day or shud I get something more.?
I would say no. The bride already has flowers. Get something else.
Reply:Flowers usually figure in the ceremony, so often flowers could get lost in the decorations. It may depend on your situation. Many couples create registries to help people know what they want. If you don't have a lot to spend, something handmade or personal may be the way to go. Try asking a member of the wedding party, if you are close enough to know them. A discreet parent of the couple can also be a great help. Good hunting.
Reply:something more flowers arent a good gift and everyone will think you brought something with the flowers! Something they can use is better silverwear plates clothes etc
