Q. Well *crosses fingers* a little bird (his sister) told me earlier today that my boyfriend of two years plan on proposing to me.
Myself, I have NO idea what to get him. We currently do not live together for financial reasons. Last year I made him a homemade scrapbook made from the scratch of all our memories together, pictures, movie tickets, menus at places we've aten etc.
This year I'm pretty clueless on what, any suggestions?

A. Okay I will give you some easy creativity ideas here.
If you did a scrapbook last time (which is great!) Then we are going to need to work in the numbers. Get one NICE thing for him and a lot of small thoughtful things to surround it. Maybe you could make it a basket thats decorated beautifully or just a bag or box, whatever you like.
Get some cute paper or little index cards or something and write him love coupons.. like 1 free massage.. or half an hour of whatever you want.. depending on how the relationship is, if your comfortable, you make some naughty suggestions :) or just sweet stuff.. like 1 free hand massage, you must earn the other hand's massage lol and just make him a lot of things like that. Also write a handwritten letter that has little hearts dotting the i's and color the hearts a different color. It makes it look like a lot of time and thought was put into it.
You can actually get movie tickets, like buy them ahead of time and put them in there or a gift card for a place he likes so he will be able to pick something out that he wants. Buy him a shirt or something to add into it.. or if you arent sure about clothes just buy yourself a little lingerie outfit.. like a nurse suit or a cop suit or just something revealing and actually wear it while you make him a valentines day dinner.. or dessert.. or just do something that you dont normally do wearing a sexy outift. My husband loves roleplay stuff.. so thats why i suggested an outift. I get mine from Ebay. Theres plenty of shops that make them and send them to you new. Schoolgirl outfits are great and cheap too.
If your still just looking for sweet things, then dont forget you can even go back to younger days and get some velvet posters that you can color.. I also decorated the bedroom/bathroom with rollos before.. they are gold and cute and you can eat them :) Im just giving you a lot of ideas, you can just pick whatever you want. Get a nice card too.
Basket idea is what Im doing this year :)

What are good teenage birthday ideas?
Q.
A. Surprise for the birthday guests:
Birthday person's parent goes to each house to pick up the guest and places a black cloth around their eyes and led to the vehicle.
From there the parent drives to a planned party area such as a camp, etc. While blindfolded they are asked to act like a chicken, moo like a cow and other things...Use your imagination. This should be videotaped.
If camping is planned, the tents and food should all be set up.
Next day go went back to the birthday person's house and watched the home movie of all of the events...How embarrassing!!!

Girl Friend Party:
(a special day for your friends' birthday day)
Blindfolded her and take her to get her haircut pay for that. Next pick up some videos and put the blindfold on her again. When you get to your destination (a made up salon in your house or a friends) take off the blindfold. Decorate the area like a salon...you will need to make signs, get streamers, and put accessories (make-up, hair products, facial products, nail products) on display.
Have some new makeup for you girl friend and do her nails, make-up, and hair and if possible pick out an outfit for her to wear. She never know what was happening next.
When you're done and have watched a movie, blindfolded her again and take her out to dinner with your male friends.
Titanic Party:
A formal affair. For girls let let them dress together and make each other up.
Have servers and a Captain present for an elegant dinner. Find young musical entertainers to provide the background music.
After dinner have an adult can man the black-jack and roulette tables.
Hire a Caricaturist to draw the guests (this will be their party favor).
Fortune Telling Party:
Hire a palm reader or have an adult dress like a gypsy and have their palms read. Also use tarot cards to learn to tell fortunes. Serve fortune cookies. For party favors give bangles, moon and star items.
Write Horoscopes: pass out pencils and paper to each guest. The "astrologer" asks them to write various items, the paper is passed to each player AFTER each item is written. Turn the paper down, so no one can read what is above. When completed, the last person signs their name to the bottom. They are then turned in and read using the 'story.' See link at horoscopes to get more information.
Mall Fun:
Scavenger Hunt:
Prepare the night before by going to the mall to find or think of things for the hunt. i.e.: number of stairs, escalators, things in shop windows, lost receipt, etc. The day of the party give each team a list of the items and within a specified amount of time see who comes up with the correct answers/items.
Party Favor / Game: Give each person $5.00 and see how many items they can purchase in a limited amount of time.
Hit the pizza parlor (or other) afterwards.
Regression Party:
Party like a 4 or 5 year old. Play traditional party games like pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, hot potato, drop the clothes pin in the can, scooping cotton balls from one bowl to another-blindfolded., etc.
Limo Romp:
Hire a limousine. Pick up the party goers and take them to a restaurant for dinner. Best best would be an "50's Diner" someplace were they can play goofy games. Make sure the limo is stocked with soft drinks, music, etc.
Hotel Party:
Get a two bedroom hotel room. One for the kids and one for the parents. Make sure it has all the amenities like pool and game room. Bring lots of popcorn, sodas, videos, etc (or if you prefer room service). Let the maids clean up the mess the next day.
Clothes Exchange and Redo:
Good for girls of roughly the same size, or a couple sizes. have everyone go thru closets at home and find clothes they don't want or that don't fit, clothes, purses, bags, shoes, socks, anything...Buy bits of ribbons, buttons, fabric, zippers, patches and sewing supplies. when everyone gets to the party, make piles of clothes that are around the same size. Then everyone can sew on the ribbons, iron on patches-make the clothes look different, maybe even buy some tie-dye, a kit should be around $20.00. Then swap clothes.
Beauty Salon:
Take the girls to a beauty salon to have their hair and nails done. Or do up their hair and nails at home in conjunction with a slumber party. For an activity, decorate pillow cases. Purchase one plain white case for each girl.
Disco Party:
Rent a disco ball, strobe light and get together some 70's movies. Have your friends come dressed for disco. Serve TAB
Games & Activties:
Are the above just a bit much? How about a regular, stay at home, do it yourselfer. Here are a few games and activities.
Murder:
Prepare slips of paper, enough for each player. All will be blank except two. One will be marked "Murderer" and the other "Detective". Let the players pick no one can say who they are. To play, turn out the lights and have everyone mill around. The Murderer

Bedroom decorating ideas teenage boy?
Q. I am in to soccer, cars, and I love blue
A. Are you allowed to paint your room and will someone help you to do it?
IF so, Benjamin Moore; Hale Navy, HC 154 is a great colour for a teenage boy who will soon be a young man. White or offwhite trim (Ben Moore, Timid White OC-39) looks great with this colour blue.
Avoid wallpaper borders with soccer balls or cars - you'll outgrow it very quickly.
To bring your interests into the room, you could install some white shelves above the bed or a desk to display some of your favourite items. (Model cars, trophies, books, photos with friends, etc).
I've seen "pillows that look like sports balls" at some of the Big Chain Stores. You might be able to find a soccer ball.
Have a look online for photos of favourite cars or soccer teams etc. or use some of your own favourite photos. Print 8x10, put photos in inexpensive frames, and hang as a group. - Great art for your room.
As you get older, you will easily be able to "can change things up".
hope this helps, professional decorator
