Olive Garden vs Red Lobster?
I want to get my parents a $50 gift card for somewhere to eat for Christmas, and I was thinking of Red Lobster or Olive Garden…
Which is better? Which is cheaper?
I’ve been to Olive Garden and it’s really good (IMO) and I think it’s cheaper, but I’ve never been to Red Lobster, which I’m leaning towards for them.
Which gift card should I get them, that will get them good food to fill them up (as much as 50 dollars can lol, that’s all I have!)
If not Red Lobster or Olive Garden, what gift card should I get them? They hate fried/greasy foods lso nothing like Applebees, IHOP, Fridays, Chili’s, etc.
Something “classy” I guess. I know Olive Garden isn’t really classy lol but it’ll do. So something like that.
Thank you!
Haha I live in Dallas so of course there’s many amazing restaurants, but I don’t think I can afford those 🙁

Olive Garden is priced well enough for them to purchase two meals, dessert, and drinks all at around $50. In addition Olive Garden carries a very light, romantic ambiance which your parents I think would appreciate very much. The type of food that is served is italian and is well portioned, however they typically use many cheese and oil based sauces with their pasta dishes making them inevitably greasy, which may not be appetizing according to what you stated regarding your parents food liking.
Red Lobster on the other hand is a more sensible choice if they are watching their diet, they carry some light seafood dishes that are filling yet not saturated with salt and grease. The pricing is heavier so they would most likely have to leave dessert out. The enviorment is more family oriented and sociable so maybe it won’t be the best “date” night, per se, but it would be nonetheless a good night considering the great seafood dishes that Red Lobster has.
I would say Red Lobster is the best choice.

what is a good 50th wedding anniversary gift?
My friend from work that I have known about 40 yrs is having a 50th anniversary.What should I get them that would not be another nick knack to sit around and collect dust and not be too expensive? I Love her lots but dont have much money.Any ideas ? and is it rude to show up without a gift?
GardenersCardiff answers:
On a budget, I would think a golden rose bush would be appropriate.
A friend of mine sent me some rose plants from Tyler, and they were lovely.
A fiftieth is the golden wedding anniversary, and a rose bush would bloom for years to come in their garden. A gift that would keep on giving, and wouldn’t cost the earth.
Here is a list of rose varieties to check out:
Gold Symphonie
Golden Anniversary
Golden Beryl
Golden Celebration
Golden Future
Golden Handshake
Golden Kiss
Golden Memories
Golden Mimi
Golden Wedding
Golden Wedding Anniversary
Golden Wedding Celebration
Goldfinch
Good as Gold
Happy Anniversary

What is a good gift to give someone who likes to garden?
GardenersCardiff answers:
A gift certificate for fedco seeds. (www.fedcoseeds.com)
They are an excellent source for heirloom seeds and do not sell any genetically morphed seeds 🙂
The catalogs are invaluable – if you have time, call them and get the catalogs to give with the certificate.
