okay, in my bible study I need to get gifts for some people. Almost all of them are girls. I like to give stuff that is creative, yet useful, -or- funny.
Age range of those getting the gift: late teen to 20's.
The gifts need to be :dance: and under $10 :grin: :eyeroll:

Hmm... Tough question. Possibly some nice scripture engraved metal bookmark type things? Not funny really, but an idea. There are a ton of things that would be appropriate at Christian bookstores.

Check out like a Hallmark store at your local mall or somthing. Jewelry boxes can run anywhere from like 5-25...*shrug* Candles always make a cool gift...um..glass stuff is cool...like weird bottle/vase/sculptures. *shrug* But what do I know, all the girls in that age bracket I know want knives or fire making objects...

I was going to suggest gift certificates, too. Maybe places like Borders or Best Buy..?

I'm not sure it'd be a good idea to get me either one of those. :sweat:

Lots of Christian bookstores have little small statueary things that are always neat, like little candle holders; decorative yet pratical. Or is there a special trip you guys made together, like to a concert or something? You could get something related to the event and everyone would remember it. The engraved bookmarks is an awesome idea, but you'd have to find a place to do it for fairly cheap.

Yeah, I'd say gift cards or some cute trinket from a Christian Book store, as others have suggested. Honestly, I'd go for the gift card.

When in doubt, give food.

In my gift exchange there was a guy who got a yo-yo that vaunted it's indestructable plastic and a hammer. The yo-yo had a message that read "the hypothesis" and a the hammer that read "the experiment". Cheap plastic it turns out. One of the guys got a homemade meat loaf, another got duct tape, pens, needle-nose plyers, and superglue (he's nuts, he and a friend once made and busted a pinata full of chocolate pudding), one girl got a sushi dinning set in green because her gift giver knew green was her fav. color. Just some ideas from our group.
