I need some help, Lounge..

[Haole Girl]

No...not that kind of help. ;-)

I need to find a great 40th birthday gift for my younger sister...
she loves films (Film Major)....iron works....riding dirt bikes...
martial arts. Yeah, she's not your average feminine kind.
Any great ideas?

It's getting close, now...next week...and I still can't come up
with anything.

Any ideas...please?

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Does she work in an office? I'm going to get my husband a digital

picture frame for Father's Day. I think that is a great gift.

[Haole Girl]

2. Nope...

she's always on the move...different offices, at the studio she works at.
But, that's a good idea for someone else...thanks!

[Haole Girl]

3. Okay..

I suppose money is always an option, huh?

I'll kick this, just in case someone can think of anything else....

Thanks!

:kick:

[Deep13]

5. No, not unless she really needs it.

Money is a thoughtless present.

[Haole Girl]

7. That's what I thought, too

Thanks.

4. one of those samurai swords.

It ties into martial arts, iron works and Kurosawa films.

[Haole Girl]

8. You know what?

She would absolutely love that...
I wonder where I could even find something like that, though?

Thanks!
:hi:

16. Good swords are very pricey, though.

But here's a place that sells some starting from $69.99

[Haole Girl]

24. Thanks for the link...

..of all the ideas, this one fits her personality the best.

Sometimes, it's hard to get someone a gift they would like instead of one you- yourself- would..you know? :hi:

6. Riding dirt bikes-- is that bicycle bikes, or moto?

Either way, a gift certificate to some place that sells gear. You can never have enough gear. I get my girl-bicycle-gear from Terry Cycling.

Or, for the film angle, how about a gift subscription to Ironweed films? Google 'em up --they are pretty cool.

[Haole Girl]

9. Oh...this is a good idea, too....

Anybody know of a good bike shop (motor sport biking) in California...
that is also in Texas?

Yeah...I know I'm asking a lot here.

I'll go surf the web a bit now...thanks!! :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Does she like Harry Potter? Lord of the Rings?

There is some neat stuff here.

[Haole Girl]

11. No...

She hates mainstream anything. This is part of the reason she is so difficult to buy for.
The gift she cherishes most, that I ever bought her, is a $3.00 silver ring I found at a craft fair once...and I've bought her many more expensive things in the past! Thanks, though! :-)

12. Does she have long hair, and does she like to put it up?

Here is a site with unique hair clips!

[Haole Girl]

13. Yes, she has very long hair....

But never does a thing with it! ;-)

Still, maybe now that she's turning 40, she might try a different style with her hair...
who knows?

Good idea...thanks! :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

14. I have some of these flexi8 clips and they rock!

[Haole Girl]

21. Yeah...they look great...

I really like that dragonfly one-- I think she would love it...(I just hope it's not too terribly feminine). Thanks!! :hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. For ideas, try this site...it's helped me out many times!

ts.com

You can search by gender, age group, interests.

[Haole Girl]

18. Thanks

I'm saving that as a favorite! :hi:

[cwydro]

17. Get her some cool dirt bike riding wear.

[Haole Girl]

19. Wow...there is a lot of gear involved, isn't there?

I had no idea, since I don't dirt bike.

Thanks...good idea, too!! I might use a couple of these suggestions-- it is a special bday!!!

Thank you, everybody, for all of your great ideas! :hi:

[cwydro]

20. Yeah, they have some cool stuff.

I don't dirt bike, but they have regular biking clothes too, which are pretty cool. I've bought some shorts form them before.

22. Tix to a film festival

:-)

[Haole Girl]

23. Thanks

Another great idea! :hi:
