I am a birthday savvy person, and I successfully surprise every member of my family with every possible surprise I can think of. But right now, my brother's turning 16 on November 20th. My mind is empty, but I really want to surprise him. I've used up every crazy idea for my mom and dad's birthday this year. Well, I've got a few- chocolates wrapped up in aluminium foil neatly in a clear bowl, cake, handmade card in the shape of a choco bar, treasure hunt for a gift, and all in candle light. Well, I feel it is not enough. Usually I have a lot of surprises. Please help! I want to make this one unforgettable for him! Give me some ideas, please! (Hope you have a creative mind!)

The best one gets the 10!
Umm, I want something new- something out of the box. Moreover, I don't want to spend so much money, but just what is easily available. I don't want the regular party stuff, cause this is just a celebration at home. No friends, no relatives. Just Mom, dad, brother and me. So hope you've got what I'm thinking of!



Answer
If you have a printer and can get some labels of various sizes, make your brother the theme of your family party. Customize labels and put them the bottles/cans. Make a centerpiece with a big label that has his name and picture. You can make a banner out paper plates. Get blank party hats in his favorite color and make labels for those too. On the labels, you can add a picture of him, or you could highlight important things like his name and age. Customize these things even more by adding things like his favorite colors or things of interest to him. These are little, inexpensive things you can do and he can have as keepsakes. Below are some links to provide you with some ideas.

What is a good Christmas gift idea for my Aunt and Uncle?

Q. The husband of the family is my dads cousin, so they arent directly related, but I look to them stil as an uncle and aunt form.

Each year they give me and my brother each $100 gift cards to anywhere. So what should my mom and my dad get them? They are rich so we cant really compete. Last year we got them around a 60-70 dollar vacuum.


Answer
What about a well-chosen board game? That's the kind of thing a rich person might not have -- and the only "competing" would be when you play together.

The best bit is, you will all enjoy the games and it doesn't matter what the game cost -- the value of group fun is priceless. I hope you find something there to inspire you and have a great holiday.
