It can be difficult, but only if you don't know what you're doing. Vivien Send a noteboard - 28/12/2011 01:18:31 AM
I mean, I know what I'd want from her... a date, with a nice soft kiss at the end.

Seriously though, what did you get? I got free books.


The interesting thing is that it's relatively easy to get a small to mid range gift for Anastasia: beatiful diaries/notebooks, little practical but stylish accessories such as wallets, tea related stuff, art that'll match the decor, plants in pots, flowers in pots, and trees in pots and did I mention plants? Clothing- but only if you are me, meaning you both know her tastes and you can also try it on to make sure it'll fit perfectly. You have to be sure because a gift receipt and the option of exchange is not a gift, it is an obligation and a chore.

It only gets really hard to get her a gift if you want to get a large gift, which is why my parents have a lot of trouble. It'd be weird to spend over $100 on a gift for me and get her a $30 plant, even though she'd probably be more happy with it than whatever expensive gift they come up with. Theoretically, something like gloves and scarves would be great but only if your tastes are as expensive as hers. I wouldn't trust myself to pick out gloves for my sister because I don't see a difference between my gloves and hers but hers are way more expensive so I just don't have the eye for it.

I already posted about what I got- it's just that no one responded to that post

Did you get your egg separator? Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 04:38:04 PM 1148 Views
I did! Nate - 27/12/2011 05:08:36 PM 1238 Views
Oh. Well it's probably for the best then. Sareitha Sedai - 27/12/2011 05:17:44 PM 1046 Views
Ha! Just make sure you wash your eggs before cracking them. Vivien - 27/12/2011 05:33:52 PM 1109 Views
Use caution when washing eggs... Avendesora - 27/12/2011 08:50:37 PM 1192 Views
What? Why would you wash an egg? I've never heard of this. *NM* Tim - 27/12/2011 11:33:57 PM 668 Views
This is news to me too. Nate - 28/12/2011 12:30:00 AM 1174 Views
Ha, don't listen to me, I know nothing about this. Vivien - 28/12/2011 01:36:34 AM 1103 Views
Aha. That makes sense. Nate - 28/12/2011 05:26:47 AM 1180 Views
That's a relief. You can't eat raw egg in this country anyway, so I don't need to change any habits. Tim - 28/12/2011 10:37:47 AM 1042 Views
Is there a law? Nate - 28/12/2011 03:29:39 PM 1111 Views
What I mean is that everybody considers it unsafe to eat raw eggs. Tim - 28/12/2011 06:37:17 PM 1060 Views
I didn't know that. Nate - 28/12/2011 07:54:37 PM 1138 Views
It is suggested in the US that you cook the yolk to solid too. Avendesora - 30/12/2011 11:58:10 AM 1013 Views
That sounds ridiculously over-cautious to me. Tim - 30/12/2011 05:48:56 PM 1085 Views
I love a runny yolk myself. Vivien - 30/12/2011 06:28:49 PM 897 Views

Hm. Avendesora - 27/12/2011 09:07:48 PM 1167 Views
Font size for PDFs? I don't think that option exists. Aeryn - 27/12/2011 10:29:08 PM 1209 Views
No... Just the kindle app with kindle Books so far. Sorry! Avendesora - 28/12/2011 01:14:37 AM 1046 Views
