Gift for more then a friend?

There is a girl, she and I have been wonderful friends for years, and I've always wished she was something more. Now we finally are.. sort of. We don't know what to call it yet, and she is on the other side of the country. We aren't exactly dating... but we aren't exactly not either. I've been wanting to send her a gift for a while.. I've been known to randomly ship off a box of cookies just to say "thinking of you" to my friends... but now I want to send her something special. At first I was going to send her a web cam because she wanted one anyways and then I could see her, but she doesn't want me to buy it for her (she can accept gifts, but not people buying her things she needs... I love that about her)


I'm tempted to send a box of chocolate covered strawberries... we were just talking about how we both love them. I wanted some sort of flower/fruit gift basket maybe that can have them and pomegranate, maybe even plums (all things we've talked about, she'd know it wasn't just some stock gift basket and it was made just for her. I also don't want to come on too strong... but this is things I would have sent her as just a friend, aswell. What would be a good gift, and do you know anywhere specific to order from? She lives in Las Vegas if that helps any.

Gift for more then a friend?
depends what you want to say. i would just be plain old fashioned and say it with roses.
Reply:Well, they say a picture is worth a million words! So, if you know some of her hobbies or passions you could surprise her with a nice little portrait made from a photo depicting exactly what or whom she likes. This can be done at http://www.paintyourlife.com for a reasonable fee and according to your specifications!


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...
Reply:Depending on what you can spend, I'd probably go buy some pralines, (sorry, Texas boy here,) in the stuff they use to line easter baskets, put a phone card on top of the pralines, and sandwich the card in place by placing a small stuffed animal on the phone card and using that pink wrap to sort of hold everything together before you pack it for shipping.





Best of luck,


D
Reply:Ya' want to do something really different . Buy her a dream catcher and send it to her .... it can catch all of her bad dreams at night and she will only have good dreams ...
Reply:I think flowers, chocolates and cards are cliched.


I was in a similar situation, and I wanted to do something different. so I sent my friend an entire book with photos of the two of us and places we had been to. She was really touched :)


check it out.. I think it would be perfect.

I’m an Asian living around other types of Asians, so I get a mix of stuff... I am Japanese with some Hmong descendent. And just remember, if I respect America’s taste, please respect mine. But now is the time for you to tell ur honest opinion. Speak it out! Thanks for sharing your true thoughts~

Do you think what I eat is weird?
I really like these foods . I am Japanese and I eat with Chinese friends, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Koreans too. I make my own special kim chee. My neighbor is good for fish sauce. My Mom's specialty is rice dishes, shrimp, scallops, and sushi. My sister is great in Thai cooking and India dishes. I wish I could eat with you sometime! Tonight we are having some Green Tea Cookies and Red Bean Ice Cream. I wish you could have some too! Best of luck to you!!
Reply:To me it sounds very disgusting but if that is what you like then enjoy it I can't tell you what you like just like you can't tell me what I like I have Cambodian friends and they eat some weird things but I don't judge them on/for it. It is up to you what you eat not me.......
Reply:man you should try fear factor you will rock at eating stuff,man i dont think a pig wold eat rotten eggs,i understand stuad and raw fish but rottens eggs!?
Reply:no i dont think its wierd i eat some of those stuff and people get really grossed out for some reason...i'm chinese and i LOVE dried squid=]
Reply:i only read 1/4 of your list, and yes, it's weird ^_^
Reply:Well, you are what you eat....do you have 8 arms?
Reply:to each their own..... lol
Reply:Wow. It sounds weird but most of it sounds pretty good.
Reply:In all honesty, most of it sounds really good. I really enjoy bean sprout soup, Korean BBQ tofu, and ginger. Actually, I am drinking green tea right now actually..





The few things that doesn't sound good to me is the Kim Chi (I've had it before, and NO THANKS), the fish heads (it's weird for me to eat anything when I can see its face) spoiled milk and spoiled egg.. that sounds like something you could get sick on, and I don't like to eat anything rotten..





But, I'm sure there are many things you would think I eat is weird.. have a great day!
Reply:Well to be honest I wouldn't eat about 85% of the things you named but I don't think it's weird, I just think we have different taste in foods.
Reply:Just sounds East Asian to me. I'd prolly skip over the rotten egg and spoiled milk (not liking cottage cheese). Oh, and the octopus; too rubbery! I was raised Southern on frog leggs, pig brains, and alligator sausage so I can't really tell anyone how gross their food is. I had a coworker from Burma and her food always smelled cajun to me. She told me I was a weird American. I tend to get that alot.
Reply:no rotten anything for me, no eyes,no bad milk, no raw meat of any kind for me. I watch at times a show where a man travels to many places and eats many strange things. Even though I myself wouldn't. I admire him. At one time he ate these sort of rotten eggs with like a small chicken with beak and all. I wouldn't. But admire the way he is able to do these strange things without flinching.
Reply:some of it, but not all.
Reply:I think it's weird that you took the time to list all of that...
Reply:thats not so bad... if you like it it does'nt matter what any one else thinks!!


i luv the food on your list i also eat lots of sticky rice with mango, and botan rice candy...and other stuff too...but im asian!!


i kinda have to admit rotten eggs R kinda gross! but if u like it!!
Reply:Looks like a lot of stuff my parents been feeding me...lol


Any idiots who are repulsed by this are just ignorant of people's culture.
Reply:It should not matter what we think, as long as you like what you eat.


I like some of them myself and some of them I have never heard of.
Reply:Yummy! :^ )
Reply:To make an intentional pun , de gustibus nihil disputandem (Latin: don't queston differerent folks' tastes). Or, in plain English, different strokes for different folks. Enjoy.
Reply:Not weird at all its just different from what we normally eat in America. In Mexico people eat weird stuff too.
Reply:Good for you.... you are one healthy person... I wouldn't be able to stomach half the stuff on your list...
Reply:Yea some of it's a little weird.
Reply:I cant even read ur list its making me feel sick.
Reply:I like some of the stuff you eat like, Shrimp snacks, Tempura, Curry Noodles, Tea, Rice Noodles and Salmon but I don't think I would like Fish heads and skin.
Reply:Thats interesting....I hope you eat pickles
Reply:Its not weird just interesting
Reply:The only thing I found was Pickled Plums, never Had them but everything else O.K.!!!!
Reply:You talk in circles -


besides, why do you need to know what other people think of your eats?


You haven't cared until now...with all respect of course.
Reply:just a little weird but I woud eat it, plus I do eat raw eggs and they are good, so is squid and sea food!
Reply:Do you think it's weird? It sounds to me like you feel weird and are uncomfortable and angry about it. You want us to prove you wrong, or else let you feel vindicated by our ignorance.





Pick your battles. Your food sounds healthy and fine.

I'm going to a Memorial Service for my friend's mom who passed away?

My friend's mom just died a week or 2 ago from cancer, and I'm attending the memorial service for her. I personally only met her once, but I'm good friends with her son.





I'm going with one of my friends and his family, who knew her very well, so I'm guessing that they are going to bring flowers or something.





I'm almost 14. I'm wearing a black pencil skirt, and a black cropped suit-jacket thing, with a dark plum colored tank top underneath, with black flats.





So, should I bring anything? Is what I'm wearing acceptable? What would be considered too flashy? How should I act?





Thanks.

I'm going to a Memorial Service for my friend's mom who passed away?
I think your outfit sounds fine unless it's actually a lot sexier than it seems...low cut top for example. Knee length is fine as well. If you are concerned and have something looser, go with that just to be safe.


Nobody will expect you to bring anything but you may if you wish. Keep it simple and not too bright.


As far as behaviour...quiet and demure is best if in doubt but feel free to take your lead from the family you are attending with.


All that being said...I've noticed that funerals are not the black affairs they used to be. Family often prefer to remember their loved one joyfully and with bright colours.


It might be wise to ask your friends what they are wearing just to confirm your dark choice.


You seem sensible and reasonable...I'm sure you'll know how to behave when you get there.


I've very sorry for your friend's loss.
Reply:What you are wearing sounds just right, and your mere presence is all you need to bring. You just "greet" the immediate family members and say you're so sorry about their "Mom", "wife", etc.
Reply:i am sorry to hear about your friends mom. what you are going to wear seems nice(just make sure its not too tight. that would be a bit inappropriate) and maybe making a small charitable donation to the American cancer society ( your parents might be willing to help you with that) in her name would be a nice gesture. when i was in the 9th grade my friends mom and my grandmother died of breast cancer and every year i raise money for the race for the cure.
Reply:Your outfit sounds tasteful and lovely. Sounds appropriate for a woman your age. Don't worry about flowers, the custom is to have an arrangement sent to the place of the memorial service ahead of time so bringing them could be awkward.





You're going for your friend, not his mom. So worry about him. His mother's problems are over.





As to how to act, don't draw attention to yourself. It's about the family, not about whether anyone thinks you're "acting" right. Don't insist on sitting with your friend unless invited to, don't cry loudly and hug on him unless he does first, don't draw attention to yourself in any way.





Don't you have a mother and/or father to tell you this sort of stuff?
Reply:The thing to keep in mind is that funerals are for the living, not the dead. Thus, I think it is great you will be there for your friend at this emotional time.





I'm not a fashion expert, but your attire seems appropriate for someone your age. In general, the acceptable dress code for funerals in our society is to dress in black, or dark colors as a sign of respect. After all, the service is meant to honor the deceased person, not have everyone stare at you in your red sequin dress, instead.





Also, how you conduct yourself during the service is equally (if not more) important. Express how you truly feel (if you don't know what to say, then say "I don't know what to say" and offer a hug, instead). It's best to be on your best behavior since the relatives of the deceased person are already upset enough. You seem concerned enough about doing the right thing at the memorial service that I think you'll do just fine.





A token gift is usually appreciated at a memorial service. Many people give flowers or potted plants. These may or may not be appreciated later (flowers wilt, potted plants need care). A condolence card with a short handwritten message inside may be the best thing for you in this situation. I like the suggest by another person that you make a charitable contribution to the American Cancer Society. This is a great idea.





Another idea is to suggest to your friend that you'd like to plant a tree in his mother's honor at a later date. Trees have spiritual significance in many faiths as symbols of life (this life or the afterlife). Additionally they're good for the environment, and can serve as a living memory for your friend that may last his whole life as well.
Reply:Your outfit seems fine, and you are not required to bring anything, except for a sincere desire to support your friend in his time of need. It would be comforting for your friend to know that you remember something nice about his mother, so try to think back to the one time you met her, and the impression she made on you. Perhaps you noticed how lovely she was, or how kindly she spoke to you, or even that she offered you some delicious little treat. Sharing a fond memory is usually the best comfort one can offer. Remember that "Memorial" means "To Remember". Conversations should not touch on subjects that would be disrespecful to her or her memory. If you feel like you should say something to your friend, express your regret that you did not have the opportunity to know her better, and encourage your friend to share some things about her that he loved best.





You'll be fine.
