What would be an appropriate wedding gift for my nephew?
When my daughter was married, my sister came to the wedding with her adult children and gave only one gift represented to be from the whole family but the value of the gift was only about $50.00. although they certainly have the means to do better. Now, my nephew is getting married and I, as well as my adult children were invited. Should we reciprocate in the same manner or get individual gifts?
One person referenced it being for my nephew, not my sister but as I mentioned, even this nephew did not give my daughter a gift at her wedding.

Your choice…personally I would get him something you know he will use that no one else will buy: yard equipment. Like shovels, rakes, a high quality 50 ft roll of garden hose…or all of you could chip in and give a home depot gift card. Everyone always gives toasters and housey crap…give them something they won’t get two of and actually make good use of. If everyone who can tosses 100 onto a gift card….well, kinda says it all, doesn’t it?

Any ideas for a gift for an avid gardener who lives in California?
It’s for my dad. He plants a lot of flowers around the house and has a garden that he grows vegetables in. He seems really into bulbs (whatever those are). Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
GardenersCardiff answers:
It seems like your dad has a keen interest in gardening. And you said he is into bulbs what I would suggest is buy to LED Grow Lights, he would definitely like it. I will give a brief idea about what it is, “LED lights are typically offered in a variety of colors to use at appropriate stages of vegetative growth and they produce such little heat, they have little risk of burning your plants; they do not require you to additionally purchase cooling fans.” My brother has doing indoor vegetable gardening for over a year and it is perfect for plants and he knows a lot of stuff about gardening.

What is an appropriate gift for two muslim girls?
I am American and am going to visit a fairly strict muslim family that likes in France. Does anyone have an idea for gifts for the two daughters, who are 13 and 9? Thanks so much!

A Razanne doll for the younger daughter. Link:

Coloring books (Dover makes really nice ones) that feature animals, birds, gardens, flowers (but not people) and nice color pencils for the older daughter, and possibly the younger would be very nice as well. Skip any books that have dogs, or pigs as well.
Jewelry making kits would be popular.
Paint by numbers (do not get puppies, people or farm ones with pigs).
Tandy Leather products makes some simple kits that would be appropriate. Again, flowers, or designs.
The card game Uno.
Breyer horses (especially arab horses).
Also here’s a link to a web site that sells Muslim toys:

99% of my customers are Muslim (I raise meat goats and sheep).
