Gift Ideas
 

Hey,
A friend of mine from will be celebrating her first anniversary in this organization. I am thinking about getting her something special within a reasonable price range. Any ideas about what I should get her, gifts that you received in the past and loved, or websites that may spark ideas? And since I'm on this topic, anything for a member of Omega Psi Phi who will also have their first anniversary coming up shortly. Thanks.. :)

I'm not sure why you feel the need to get either of them anything. :confused:
Unless...

You know, I announce every year when my Alphaversary is and even post a link to the same sweater I've said I wanted for the past 3-4 years and I get NADA!

Shole wish my friends celebrated my anniversaries like the OP does. :)

Not to get anything started, but I am curious about your statement. If Wonderyears is friends with the people, why do you describe acknowledging the anniversaries as 'a need'?

Outside of the vibe I get that says perhaps the anniversary should not be important to a non-member, I agree with you. Non-members should never buy gifts for greeks in an effort to rally 'favor'. The gifts will never, ever be appreciated fully, as they were given with invisible 'like me please' strings attached.

But if Wonderyears is truly friends with these people and choses to give a gift to acknowledge an important milestone, I think its cool. Not that I gave my husband anything for his anniversary....

Well, dang! As long as we're making an anniversary wish list. . .my anniversary is in July - that's plenty of time to get it ordered and get it to me. :p

you two... *smacks their hands* git in the corner... --->

but that made me http://www.pledgepark.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

To the first post: I don't feel a NEED but they are close people in my life....one is a friend that I have had since junior high school and the other one is my cousin. And unless what...?...yea...anyway... awww Senusret I...don't worry...there may be something special in the mail for u soon....

Let's not split hairs on the semantics that you feel the NEED. Otherwise you wouldn't be on a public message board asking strangers about what to get. I mean you know those people and their tastes, likes and dislikes, etc. better than anyone here.

Oh and are you a friend of Senusret's? I mean you are telling him there maybe something for him (sweater?) in theb mail, soon.

If u have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all....hmmmm...yea so i asked for some simple ideas....i didn't ask for a stranger to twist my words to make a conclusion of their own. Why not respond with something relevant to the topic or hit the back button?...and what does it matter if I am friends or not with Senusret?

Wow newbie, if you haven't figured it out yet, this is a message board. And everything I said was relevant to your OP.

Wow, what ever happened to actually giving an answer pertaining to the topic at hand...hmmmm guess we don't follow that logic anymore.....and since the sly remarks aren't things I can wrap up in a bow then there is no need for them anymore...thanks and have a woooooonderful week

DITY? lol

You aren't the only one!

Angels in the Outfield
 

Did you see the movie with Danny Glover, Angels in the Outfield? Remember the little Black kid...


"it could happen"...;)

LOL

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to give a friend a gift to celebrate their 1st Delta anniversary. The feedback that you received for your question is disappointing.

qt237a -- I know this hasn't been said, but one year is way too close to someone's initiation to be getting them an anniversary gift. It really just seems pressed. (I mean, they JUST crossed and probably STILL have gifts they haven't opened or used)

I ask for anniversary gifts all the time because I'm a gift whore. But I'm only half-joking.

But I've been such a good girl!

Why not just ask the gift receivers if they want anything? Problem solved..

btb87 and senruset: ya'll aint right.. he said gift whore.. lol

Okay?
and
Okay?
(But I do want that sweater.)

Senusret, it was because it is their FIRST anniversary, and it would never happen again...not that any anniversary could, but u get me....either way im tired of defendin myself and not gettin any actual answers, but thanks to those who responded....some people's ignorance brighten my day....not u Senusret!!

Nikki and BTB gave you an actual answer.

errbody tryna jump bad!!!
 

Girl please. there is NOTHING WRONG with buying 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 30th anniversary gifts if the person is truly your friend! People on this board will not be able to give you good gift ideas mostly because we do not know the paraphenalia your friends already have. The best thing to do is engage them in convo about their first anniversary, their plans etc., and belive me, it will come out!!!

Now I do take issue with u asking about the ques. That's likely a question you should pose on the omega and NOT Delta board!!!

thank u DST_philoso4, but the female friend of mine is a Delta thats why I did put it here and the Omega board hasn't been used in ages so i just added him on while I was askin about my other friend
