Birthday Gift Time!

Hey Everyone!

It's time to come up with ideas for Nohana and Shiho's Birthday! :m113:

We don't have much time on this so let's get those ideas in and fast!

If we are going to buy a gift depends completely on member contributions. I would like to ask everyone to pledge their intended contribution amount in this thread first so we can come up with a realistic idea on what we can get. There are a few people who consistently donate and many who don't. It would be nice if everyone collectively gave a little rather than just a few who have to give a lot.

If just 20 people donate $5, we can get some really nice gifts, so get those ideas in and please pledge! Donations are accepted through Paypal. Send to zkoppmd@gmail.com
:m108:
Thanks all!

 

Gifts we've done in the past:

2011 - Necklace for AIMI, Bracelet for NOHANA, Watch for SHIHO
2012 - Bags for everyone

 

our budget will be pretty tight this time around, but let's try to get something meaningful if we can. Drum sticks albeit a practical gift would be something I'm sure she has plenty of, yet no need for an additional pair. Any other ideas?

 

Liquor chocolates maybe? :m126: We are on a budget as you say.

 

As cool as liquor chocolates sound, I think we should also consider non-edibles so that Nohana and Shiho actually have a gift from us that they can keep for forever.

 

While posting DK Nohana Blog translations to the website I noticed in one entry that Nohana said she likes bears and that she buys them as souvenirs from places she visited. So we should consider something with bears, I guess.

 

Yes a Teddy Bear with a cool front design or something. She reaaaaly likes them. She said she has tonnes at home. O_O Maybe make her a VGD Bear?
customizing it with VGD logo? http://www.picsquare.com/custom/teddy-bear or [url]http://www.vermontteddybear.com/Static/Custom-Made-Teddy-Bears.aspx[/url]

(that website is just an idea)


Edit> Nohaneko said she likes Caramel Popcorn so how about we get her a popcorn maker or something? I thought why not send her a translated recipie of Caramel popcorn？ :m205:<a class="postlink" href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Popcorn-Makers-/66752/i.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Popcorn-Makers-/66752/i.html</a>

 

Build-a-Bear Workshop...

Just kidding... haha.

 

that's what I suggest except equip it with clothes similar to what nohana wore at the one man

 

What about a "onesie" for them all? Maybe they'll perform one-day with all them wearing onesies

 

Here's some awesome gift ideas from Typo:

I totally forgot about this store until just recently. What sucks is that I was actually thinking about buying b-day gifts for AIMI, NOHANA, and SHIHO from that store back when I first discovered it last Spring. It totally slipped my mind until now.
