My son is 19 and my daughter is 15. I want to get them something unexpected, not the same old money, ipod, computer/video game, clothes stuff. I mean I will get that stuff too, I just want to give something really meaningful that they won’t expect and will be surprised over. They used to be so surprised on Christmas morning, now they already know what they are getting basically.

Parents: What is the average amount you have received on gift cards for you baby shower? I ordered a Visa gift card online and put $50 on it, but I’m afraid $50 is not enough…
None Parents: Please give your opinion on a decent amount for a gift card.

Note: She is not my best friend, she’s just a friend if that helps.

Also, is it tacky to open a gift you plan to give? I purchased a baby picture frame to go with the gift card, but I wanted to put the gift card inside the spot where the picture would go just to be unique, rather than give it in an envelope. The way the package is for the picture frame, I would have to remove the original taping and re-tape it after placing the card in it. Do you think it’s tacky to open the package and re-tape it back? Or should I just put the gift card in an envelope and leave the picture frame package in its original, intact condition? Please give me your honest opinion! Thanks in advance!

Here is the gift card I ordered (my friend likes to shop):

The gift is for my sister and brother-in-law and they are very experienced with wine, so I would like something special and unique. I came across several Wine of the Month clubs online but I’m wondering if anyone has tried them and, if so, which ones you prefer.

Also, do you know of any Wine of the Month clubs that also include accompanying cheeses or crackers or anything with their shipments?

Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
