Q. I just realized that the only family members who buy our kids gifts for their birthdays is the Republicans ones and most the democrat ones make more money than they do and don't buy them any gifts, not even send them a card. Then at Christmas time or their birthdays when we buy them gifts most the time they complain or show no appreciation or thanks. Weird.
Giving is what makes people happy. If they don't ever give, then how can they ever feel happy?

What should I get my boyfriend for his birthday?
Q. We have been dating for six months and we are very close. His present was going to be tickets with awesome seats to a Blink 182 concert (his favorite band) but they just canceled their US tour today. I don't want to get him anything to cheesy or sappy. It's hard because I had already had the perfect gift! His birthday is at the end of the month, if anybody has any ideas they are much appreciated!
A. maybe a rare blink-182 album like flyswatter. but there are only like 300 of them in the world. or just give him several other blink albums
What is the etiquette on bringing a gift to informal birthday events, where everyone pays for themselves?
Q. So I was wondering, what is the etiquette on bringing a gift to a birthday event where everyone pays for themselves. Should one bring a present? If so, what sort of present?
A. Good question. I don't have the correct answer but I've had this come up plenty of times. I've been to plenty of birthday dinners where the guest paid for their own meal, and many times, people don't bring gifts. Now me personally, I always bring the birthday guy or girl a gift, and this also depends on how close you are to the person. If it was my BFF, of course I would put some serious thought into the gift. If just a friend, I usually do flowers for the girl, and maybe a nice bottle of wine for a guy. I do notice that other people just bring themselves. I think most people know they may also have to pitch in for the guest of honors meal as well, so maybe that is why they don't bring a gift. I think it's totally up to you. I think the guest of honor will just be happy you attended.
