Amy's Random thoughts: New hobby

New hobby

I visit your blog. Then I find someone who commented on your blog. I visit them and then find someone who visited them. I continue to this until I find one I do not like. This could be the reason I have almost 300 blogs in my blogline collection. I must stop. But I can not. Many of them are China adoption blogs and I don't want to miss out on any thing.

Here is another question for you!
Let say you have to get a gift for an adult female friend you don't know. You cant spend more than 30 dollars. What do you buy this person?!

As for the gift - candle gift sets are always a winner in my book when I don't know the person relatively well in a neutral-type scent. Gift cards work too if you don't mind giving those, although not very personal.; 5:42 AM

Clearlykels said...: Gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure. I don't know anyone who does not like some pampering. Some people don't like others touching their feet, so they can just get several manicures.; 6:26 AM

Frazzled Farm Wife said...: I would buy them Bath and Body Works lotions, bath gels, perfume etc....We all like to smell good right??!!; 11:20 AM
Mercy's Maid said...: Eww...I hate buying gifts for people I don't know because it's so difficult to know what they like and what they already have.

That being said, a gift card or basket of goodies might be nice. Or maybe a gift certificate to a movie theater packaged with some theater sized candy?; 12:30 PM
EHT said...: I love to pick someone's blog and visit as many listed on their blogroll as possible. I find some interesting stuff that way including those Georgia blogs for the blogroll at Georgia On My Mind.

I was going to suggest a manicure/pedicure, but someone else already did......Starbucks card?; 1:59 PM
Jillie Bean (AKA Bubba's Sis) said...: Definitely a gift card someplace - then they can choose exactly what they like!

Of course, then they know exactly how much you spent.

I always like to get Bath & Body stuff...; 4:15 PM
Amy said...: I loved it when I got a gift certificate to the movie theatre that included two movie tickets and a coupon for one large popcorn, two large drinks and a candy! Hubby and I got to go out for a free evening.

I like your new hobby Amy! There are so many great blogs to read and I'm trying my best to stay with my chosen few because I want to make some real friendships that will last a lifetime. I lurk at a lot of places, do you?; 4:17 PM
Mandy said...: pick a theme for the gift - home (kitchen, bath, and if you're brave...the bedroom), work, school, crafts, blah blah blah...then fill a gift basket with all sorts of odds & ends that relate to that theme...it's fun, it's easy and something in the basket has to be something they like!
(Example: you pick the kitchen: kitchen towels, dish detergent, sponge, fancy scrub brush, silicone pot holder, spoon rest, etc..and you can get most of it at discount stores!); 6:38 PM
Wendy Ann Edwina D'Cunha e Pereira said...: Hello amy...
It's been a while...
I love your new look...
How about some scented candles, or gift certificate to a salon.... anything we don't normally do for our selves...; 6:58 PM
ann said...: Gift card! It's very hard for me to buy for someone I don't know well. I say you can't go wrong with a gift card!; 7:39 PM
KarenW said...: I frequently visit other people's commenters. It's a great way to make new friends.

Bath and Body works is the first thing that came to my mind. They can always exchange the scent if they don't like it.; 9:33 PM
