need idea for get well gift for high school girl....


Posted: Nov 20, 2009

My son, who is in his mid 20s, is assistant coach for the high school girls' soccer team.  The young lady, who is team captain, has injured her ACL severely and probably won't be playing anymore but shows up for every game of course.  They all are getting her a little  inexpensive "get well" to give her tonight.  My son has no earthly idea what to get her and frankly, neither do I.  He wants to keep the  gift very generic, so as to not let the young lady get any ideas..... he's just trying to be nice and not look like a jerk for not getting her something.  So he asked me to please run out and get her a little get well something.   Any inexpensive ideas?   Thanks!

Can't go wrong with a balloon bouquet and a card. Have the whole team sign either the balloons or the card.

Nonclutter Gift Ideas For A 6 YO Girl?Dec 07, 2011
I would like to get a friend's 6-year-old daughter something, but their house is small, and the grandparents tend to give quite a bit. Any ideas that will not cause more clutter? For example, for an adult, I could give cookie ingredients in a jar. Adult makes the cookies, tosses or donates the jar, eats the cookies, no clutter left over (except on the hips maybe). This is such a creative group, I'm hoping you can help. Thanks! ...

Gift Ideas For Little Girl's First Birthday? - SmMar 12, 2013
My friends' little baby girl is having her first birthday next month, and I was invited to her birthday bash!  I don't have kids, and am pretty clueless as to what would be a good gift idea for her.  Does anyone have any ideas for something that would be fun (and safe!) for Baby, and/or useful for Mom?  Or something for both of them?  Meerkat =^..^= ...

Just Received A Great Gift That I Had No Idea Jan 04, 2014
I love to listen to audiobooks on MP3 players that I get from the library, but as I had pretty much gone through the selection at the library, I was going to buy a portable CD player to wear while I cook, do chores, etc. For my anniversary, my husband bought me a Sansa Clip Zip MP3 and I can download books through our library website and there are about 3000 titles, so I will have a lot of happy hours of listening. I had no idea that even existed! I'm so thrilled. If you like to listen ...

My 18yo Son Wants To Drop Out Of High School And Get His GED.Mar 10, 2011
I understand why he wants to drop out.  He and his girlfriend of nearly three years broke over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  Basically, he found out that she had slept with two of his supposed good friends and also tried to get with a third.  I'm not sure why she did this as my son treated her like gold.  He followed her around like a little puppy.  Did everything she told him to do.  He all but stopped attending family functions because she wa ...

My 40th High School ReunionMar 26, 2012
I haven't been back to a reunion since my 10th one. Now, I'm debating whether to go because so many of my classmates are successful, two published authors, military officers, doctors, lawyers.  Very small graduating class.  Many of them have taken early retirement, live on Hilton Head, SC, etc. I don't want to tell them my pay has been cut in half and I work for an Indian company. Is that pathetic? I would also add that I was the geeky, awkward, nose-in-a-book, dateless, ...

My 'baby' Is Graduating From High School This WeekendJun 02, 2011
I can not believe my baby is graduating high school.  This May my two boys turned 18 and 21 and now in September they will both be in community college.  I am so probud of them coming this far but it is bitter sweet.  They both have Asperger's syndrome (very high functioning autism) and although they are growing up, not sure if they will ever leave home.  They are good boys and I have done all I can to help them succeed in the world and there are new life lessons every d ...

Oh, Those Good Ole Days Of High School Detention. Spent A Lot Of Time There.Feb 03, 2011
The post below made me think bad, and every time I do I laugh.  Now, I was not a bad kid but I spent more than my fair share of time in detention for the least little thing.  I would go to sleep in class and get detention.  Then I would go sleep in detention.  Our high school in Atlanta was grades 8-12, very large.  So you may have had 50 or more kids in detention.  Usually, the teacher monitoring detention did not even know you.  Sometimes I would have someon ...

White Power Signs At Texas High School GameFeb 18, 2015
 "It's just so sad that kids have to take it to that level," she said.  What level is acceptable, I wonder.  Once again, some racism is okay, okay to think it, just don't hold up signs.  Okay to say it, just don't let the media publish it--Mississippi legislature. In my hometown which is say 70% white, 20% black and 10% Hispanic (sort of a guess), I am fairly certain these "kids" would have been de-signed by other fans, the administration or their very o ...

Going Away GiftJun 01, 2010
What do you give to someone as a going-away gift that you've only known for five months?  She's a very nice person.  We didn't spend a whole lot of time together, mostly just at school functions, and a couple of times outside of that, for coffee, but with a group, not just her and me.  Is it even appropriate that I get her a little something?  I've been invited to a little going-away luncheon for her tomorrow and I don't have any idea.  Flowers m ...

Worst Gift Ever?Dec 06, 2010
I got this from another board and it was actually funny to read. When we got married 18 years ago we got a plunger from my mom's friend thou she did get us another gift also that one was just funny. We got margaritia glasses and neither us were old enough to drink either. I used those for dessert glasses for a bit but ended up over time breaking them. I can't think of any really really bad gifts but those 2 stick out in my mind for some reason. So what has been yours? ...

A Husband's GiftFeb 28, 2010
Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my husband purchased for me a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. Friends seemed plea ...

Graduation GiftMay 16, 2013
Need help, don't want to give cold cash for college grad. It seems cards like AMEX, etc. have hidden fees when used. Also, what do you consider appropriate for a BS degree?

Kind of stumped here, lots of different levels of graduation coming at once in the next 3-4 years. Just want to be fair. Thanks. ...

Holiday Gift GivingNov 08, 2011
ONE GREAT IDEA!!!

There is no longer an excuse that, at giftgiving time, nothing can be found that is produced by A ...
