my family is playing a game at our chanuka party tonight, where we each picked someone out and had to get a present for him/her depicting the person's personality. I got my bil, who moved a bunch of times since he was married, so I thought of maybe a birchas habayis saying I hope this will be his final home, or maybe a tefillas haderech-he was always on the move. problem is, my younger sister got mhis wife, my sister, and didnt know what to get for her, so I told her she can get a birchas habayis for the same reason, but I dont know if she ended up getting it, and I cant get through to her now

he also just went out to work, so I was thinking maybe something for his office, like a clock, but thats too nerdy for me. anyone have any better ideas? tia

anonymous in case someone from my family is on here-then she'll figure me out by the game 8)

Would you feel comfortable doing a framed photo of his family for his office (you could get the pic from your sister, if you don't have one, or just give the frame, saying it's for that)? Or depending on how much you're supposed to spend, perhaps a mug to have there?

why would you give away your present idea ?! Confused

you can get a nice mezuza or a mezuza case ... for the similar reason of staying put ... or a chess game "check mate" so they can win the entire kingdom ... King

what do you mean? I dont THINK anyone from my fam is on here, but just in case... anyway, I need an idea, thats why! Very Happy

what does check mate have to do with it? also, I want to get a small cheap thing.

I finally got through to my younger sister, and she did get a birchas habayis. oh well.
also, I was thinking of a picture frame (thanks kalex!) but if it was for his wife, I wouldve gotten it, because shes forever saying how cute her kids are, but its not my bil's type.

also, my dh got my sister, and I thought of a cute present for her. im getting her a doorknob with a lock on it. anyone know where to find a cheap one? lowes, home depot, target, walmart? I checked on-line, but couldnt find cheap ones, except for lowes. are there other places to check? the party's tonight, so not much time here
