Hey there.  I have a friend who is moving to Germany next year and I'm making her a going away package.  I was wondering what kind of things I could include (gift cards or recommendations for places to check out [stores, restaurants, etc.], stuff that you look for in America that you can't get in Germany, basically necessities and other cool things).  I was also wondering if someone could buy me some stamps and various other things from Germany and I can pay for them.  Thanks!

My friend and I are hosting a surprise going away party for our friend who will be going abroad for next year's school year.  We've invited about 30+ people.  The party will be at my house, and we're going to get cake and have a bonfire and make s'mores and perhaps barbecue.  Any other suggestions of how to keep these 30 or so 17 year old girls entertained from 3:00 until "whenever" (thanks to my friend who put that on the invite!)?

My friend is going to Germany for next year and I wanted to make her a kind of "survival kit" type thing to take with her.  Except I'm stuck for things to put in it.  I was gonna make her stationery, envelopes, etc. and somehow buy her some German stamps (online I guess...) and make her a mix CD.  I also have a photo album with pictures of things she'll miss about home (like a picture of our school, a picture of our favorite restaurant, etc.)  But I'm stuck for ideas.  Anyone?

I'm making some graduation presents, and I found a bunch of photo albums at my 1-hour photo store for about $2 each.  Only problem is they're ugly, so I wanted to decorate them somehow.  I was thinking about putting the graduate's name on them or "Class of '05" or something.  Any suggestions of what to do/how to do it?

So I have about 6 or 7 friends who are graduating this year.  We aren't THAT close, but I do consider them my friends and I would like to get them something to remember me buy and also to help them in college.  A few suggestions I've had are buying them Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go, making simple jewelry, or buying flowers.  Problem is, the last chance I will have to see them is next Friday at "Class Day" where we celebrate their graduation, so I'm short on time.  I'm also short on cash.  Any suggestions?

Hey, I'm new.

I'm planning on making all of my Christmas gifts this year, and I have the majority of them planned out.  But I have two friends that I don't know what to make, and I think I want to make them something involving the Red Sox since they're wicked obsessed.  Any ideas?
