Awesome gift ideas....??~~ Title change.... Cutting boards and general woodworking thread 2

EDIT...since I suppose I made this thread evolve in to a cutting board thread, I may as well post them in the OP
   

Hey Shroomery.
I am hoping to get some ideas for awesome birthday / Christmas gifts.
I'd like it to be something you cannot find on shelves at a store.
For example, I made my girlfriend a picture at Burning Man and had it put on to a framed canvas. I had people help spell her name with their bodies in front of cool scenery and then went and got it put on an 11x14 canvas.
What else is a really cool and thoughtful gift idea for special people?
Thanks.

Yeah... Quality fucking post.
Sort of the wrong thread for feeble attempts at being funny, but whatever.
Anything else?

You could make a frame pertaining to something/somewhere you'd like to do/go in the future. Or off the same idea- say get her goggles and month-by-month more stuff hinting towards the hot-air balloon ride you two are gonna take.'
I'm bad at this stuff, though, and as bad as I am at coming up with ideas, I'm even worse at applying them Hope it helped a little

I think the best gifts always show you know a person well. Like my boyfriend got be a book on neuroscience, among a few other things, for one birthday which was incredibly interesting and useful. Another great aspect of a gift is something that you can do together that also shows you know their interests like one Christmas my boyfriend got me the LEGO Harry Potter game which we played co-op on acid which stands out as one of my best trips.
Cool idea with the picture, shLong!

I've found that pretty much everyone loves a well put together photo album...I've never made one myself, but it seems like a good gift to give

the best gifts are always from the heart, and i feel like they are best given whenever the mood strikes you, and not necessarily on a birthday or holiday. my boyfriend just gave me the best gift ever - he wrote the author of my favorite novel and got him to sign all the books of his i had in my collection. It didn't cost much at all, but that was the most thoughtful and magnificent gift anyone has ever given me.

Bump for more ideas. I'm really digging some of the ones I never would've thought of.
